Xolos and Calupohs have some of the most intimidating façades in dogs. Absolute sweethearts with the face of something you’d hear about in cryptid stories.

I want to have two, named Fuck Around and Find Out. That is one serious face.

BruceTwarzen,

It's really important for people to know that you are an epic redditor

bumblebrainbee,

Yeah those are some really cringey dog names. Foofoocuddlypoops sounds more intimidating than the dog equivalent of an affliction shirt.

crypticthree,

    bumblebrainbee,

    Naming your dogs “fuck around” and “find out” is an indigenous thing? That’s interesting.

    @Darkhoof@lemmy.world avatar

    This is super interesting! Not just mildly. :)

    dumptruckdan, in Black panthers are not an actual species - they are jaguars and leopards with melanism, the opposite of albinism
    @dumptruckdan@kbin.social avatar

    The panther is like a leopard,
    Except it hasn't been peppered.
    Should you behold a panther crouch,
    Prepare to say Ouch.
    Better yet, if called by a panther,
    Don't anther.

    That’s gonna be dam expensive.

    Sharkwellington, in This banana was perfectly straight!

    Perfect for OnlyBanans.

    inototen, in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

    I think that the Eastgate Mall in Zimbabwe makes usage of a similar principle, but their inspiration came from Termite Mounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP8DSdfoiZw

    Waraugh,

    That’s an informative robot

    zombuey,

    I gotta wonder if the same was true for them to.

    over_clox,

    Yes, humans often eat upwards of 15% sawdust in processed foods.

    Read the ingredients, where do you think cellulose comes from?

    It wasn’t aliens, it was brown people.

    Screak42, in In South Korea, some stores carry "one a day" bananas which are packaged in order of ripeness
    @Screak42@infosec.pub avatar

    because we all know that the banana does not already grow in the perfect packaging.

    rockSlayer, in Gay Water, a vodka soda that's a response to the Bud Light transphobia

    Honestly I’m just glad to hear people recognizing that Anheuser-Busch isn’t a trans icon or even queer friendly.

    WhiteHawk, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

    It’s all water besides the bridge now

    Pat12, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

    And if it floods then…?

    RGB3x3,

    Then you go around, duh.

    Swedneck,
    @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    it doesn’t flood, this is the netherlands

    sheepyowl,

    Holy shit this comment fucking killed me. It’s so funny.

    I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can’t flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built

    Lux,

    Why do you think water evaporates in the mincraft nether?

    Obi,
    @Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

    It definitely just gets accepted as a fact of life that the Dutch water works just fucking work.

    Swedneck,
    @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    The water could flood, but it knows it would be met with swift draining of another polder in retaliation.

    The sea simply behaves out of sheer intimidation.

    postmateDumbass, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

    Is there an underpass for fish and such?

    azdood85,

    Naw, fish can jump over or pound sand.

    CloudMunch,

    No, there’s a fish bridge just off scene.

    Why not run the spine through a table saw and just use a regular document feeder?

    aeronmelon,

    I think they actually want to keep the book.

    SinningStromgald,

    Sometimes books are valuable so cutting them into bits so they can go on the Internets faster isn’t feasible.

    nonailsleft,

    In 10 years you can just reprint the book by molecule so why bother
