We had a virtual card number leaked and used. Somehow we received what was ordered. (lemmy.world)

Why do the cables ONLY vibrate between these two poles? (youtu.be)

I’ve seen this phenomenon many times over the years, while walking the dog out behind our house. The cables wiggle between these two particular power poles, but NOT between the adjacent poles (or any others, along this pole line).

Polish squirrels have straight ears.

This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist. (i.imgur.com)

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.
