That’s it! Thank you!

I remember early 2020, there was a small push to bring capes back, before something else took over every discussion. Something about blue jays or crows or something

Same. Hearing the pitter patter of their little feet casting Plane Shift when I shake the treat box never gets old though

Yeah, I’m reminded of the Ohio chemical attack last year. CNN had a story about it… Underneath seven other stories about Taylor Swift’s new boyfriend or whatever.

A properly built hammock is sturdy enough that it isn’t gonna fall down, and because the middle of it dips down with your weight, the sides come up sort of like a bowl and hold you in. Sleeping on your back isn’t actually that bad, and once you get used to it, you figure out how to spin slightly to one side or the other for comfort.

For reference, I was sleeping in a travel hammock meant for camping every night for about a year, I weighed over 200 lbs at the time, and even after the canvas started to tear at the seam, it never actually failed. The only reason I got rid of it is because the tear started to grow over the course of about a week.

Edit: also, for safety, I had a couple old comforters under it to cushion a potential fall, and an old pillow underneath my head for more protection. Never ended up actually needing them, but it’s an option

You talking about the time they decided to start a war with the entire world, or the time they decided to start a war with the entire world?

He says, as Tatlock remounts him with the book in hand. “It’s ancient sumerian, and translates to… It’s Oppen-time-r”

They never said “most of the time.” They only brought up two categories of events: those that leave lasting visual cues, and those that don’t.

Ignorance won’t save you when that one lucky e coli lands on your toothbrush at just the right time. My parents survived leaded gas just fine, doesn’t mean that shit’s safe.

I dunno, man; let people enjoy things, right?

That’s my feelings, it just gets annoying when people feel a need to spout out that you’re an illiterate moron and say you have trash taste unprovoked all the time. That’s the kind of thing that can drive an otherwise live-and-let-live guy to start an argument

It depends on whether he uses it despite the fact that the developer donates money to homophobic political campaigns, or because of that

Any time I see a problem I can solve with one of my amateur hobbies (lock picking, 3d printing, etc), him saying “I can do that” is always the first thing that comes to mind.

I didn’t actually know that it was bad to put knives in the dishwasher until only a couple months ago. For anyone wondering, dishwasher detergent is abrasive, and will mechanically dull blades.

I’m okay with advertisements in things like television. Ad supported media is one thing, ad supported real estate needs to burn to the ground

Die mad prescriptivist

“Why do these men insist upon using ‘bully’ as an alternative to ‘ruffian?’ ‘Bully’ already has a meaning! They’re a prostitute’s bodyguard! I say, the English language surely is dying here in the late 19th century!”

My favorite conspiracy theory is that Basque is the only real language, and that every other language on earth was made up by Benedictine monks to prop up the story of the Tower of Babel

The funniest part of this comment to me is that it could be said unironically either by someone educated in college or on tiktok

I sometimes expect people to know “basic physics,” which is apparently a bit much to ask sometimes. I don’t mean having a firm grasp on what e=mc² actually means, I don’t even have that. I’m talking about a firm grasp on energy simply being the capacity to do work, and the basic fact that there is no free energy device.

No, you cannot charge an electric car while it’s driving by putting wind turbines on it. No, you cannot use gear ratios to achieve overunity. No, magnets can’t solve the problem either.

PS, if you firmly believe that crystals vibrate on higher frequencies (eta: and that vibration can somehow heal you or something), but can’t describe what frequency amethyst vibrates at in hertz, you are what Dunning and Kruger set out to study

The synchronicity shocked me, I had just started an episode moments before opening the thread
