if this were to be true to form, batman would be dangling upside down from the ceiling.

and the next morning, after exchanging fluids intra-species, the two of them would embirth a whole new coronavirus.

oh, so when they say she has a face that launched a thousand ships, they were all just that one boat with a thousand makeovers?!

6 million bodies over 1,400 years is on average almost 4,300 bodies each year, or a little less than 12 bodies each day.

while the queen escapes punishment for emplooying child labour?

why did they stop at “aluminum”? why don’t they have “magnesum”, “barum”, or “radum”?

why don’t nfl games take place in a “stadum”? why is the size between small and large not a “medum”?

either their table salt ahould contain sodum or their treatment of aluminium is so dumb.

Ylvis can help you.

when it comes to describing bees and birds,

i’m sorry but i’m at a loss for words.

we can’t hear them buzz or sing

because – see, here’s the thing –

human beings are just massive turds.

plus his name was said to have been pronounced “ee-v’rest” instead of “ever-rest” as the mountain is called today.

nice try, Tim Cook.

according to this site, there are 166k desths per day; which works out to about 7k deaths per hour or a little under 120 deaths per minute (around 2 deaths per second).

even if you get paired with somebody who dies in the same quadrant as you, there’s a good chance that that person will be an annoying prick.

so the maths bears out. the commenter to whom you replied is correct in saying that–if the ghost-no-gravity theory is true–you would be better off dying in a mini-mass-massacre event.

i’m still waiting for the first rock from the sun!

i haven’t seen it yet. i have a sort of obsession with order so i’ll watch it only after watching close encounters of the first kind and close encounters of the second kind.

Patriotism is the belief that together we can make this place really lasting and good.

the problem is with the definition of “this place”. a patriot’s vision of “this place” is restricted by borders drawn by politicians.

no sane person should ever “be ok” with that extent of tunnel vision. “this place” should extend to the world we all share.

the minute we think of ourselves as being part of a tribe – of being a subgroup – we lose sight of the fact that we are all together with each other on this third rock from the sun.

we know of no other life as yet. the only life we have amongst ourselves and around us on the crust of this planet is therefore doubly sacred.

why would we want to dilute something so wonderful by etching a border between ourselves and creating a “you” versus a “me”? why would we even want to maintain that division even if it were ostensibly given to us “by chance”?

(separately, it would be a travesty to say that the so-called “tribes” inhabiting india and pakistan, south korea and north korea, czechia and slovakia, all the present-day components of the former yugoslavia, northern ireland and the republic of ireland, and all other such sets of people divided by manmade norms were “given to us by chance”.)

patriotism is nothing but loyalty to real estate. - dr. gregory house.

seriously, though. it’s high time we thought of ourselves as co-passengers on a single planet-sized ship rather than attributing memberships to everyone on the basis of arbitrarily drawn lines on a map.

if boeing jokes are boring, then airbus jokes will be aiebus?

i’m surprised he wasn’t cast in Rock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.

why is the customer made the butt of the joke here?

“It looks like users are prominently presented the option to disable Recall” at this point in time.

ftfy, my friend.

surely she’s attacking the wrong problem? the issue wasn’t that she ran the dishwasher in the first place, it was that she loaded the wrong item into the dishwasher.

if this story is true, then she should avoid loading the dishwasher. running it or not is immaterial.
