i'm not the first person to note this, but imane khelif, in addition to winning a gold in boxing, has also managed the superhuman feat of getting jk rowling to shut the fuck up. i think the ioc should give her another medal.
Wicked dolls by Mattel have the wrong website of the film printed on the packaging which directs you to an adult film website.
there's this word in Serbian 'vukojebina' which literally means 'the place where wolves go to fuck' but they use it to mean 'in the middle of nowhere'. it sure does the job well, but the visual stayed with me longer than I would have liked it to.
for chinese we have 鸟不生蛋, which is used to describe a land so barren and remote that not even birds would lay their eggs there.
In German we have "am Arsch der Welt", which means "at the world's ass"
In Finnish it's "Jumalan selän takana" - behind god's back.
I propose that these are all the same place. The world's ass, behind god's back, where birds would not nest and where wolves go to fuck.
Australia has "Woop Woop" (origin unknown but dating to late 1800s if not earlier) as in "they live way out in Woop Woop". "out beyond the black stump" is a similar Aussie phrase.
On another token, Poles say 'hen, hen' when describing something being far away but like, affectionately??
When I was a kid, someplace out in the sticks was "Left Armpit, Pennsylvania."
Americans do infact have the phrase "butt-fuck nowhere" which feels like an important possibile addition
Yeah, I think I just got the Bowdlerized version. :P
Part of the reason I try to make good vegetarian food even though I’m not vegetarian is because of the one week my dad was convinced he was gonna go vegan.
You know what he made for dinner that whole week? Steamed vegetables, rice, and canned beans. All unseasoned. Technically a nutritionally complete meal. It tasted awful.
How could a man usually so good at cooking forget literally all of that when faced with the possibility of making vegan food?
I thought there had to be a better way. And it turns out there is. Vegetarian food doesn’t taste bad. Cartoons that depict vegetarians eating a singular leaf for a meal have ruined us. A lot of stuff that meat eaters eat in everyday life is technically vegetarian or easily made vegetarian. Why when faced with one restriction do so many people forget every single egg sandwich or apple pie they’ve ever eaten?
in the vein of "how do you stay safe from getting sick", I wanna say that something I always noticed as a kid was that a lot of the time when I went to people's houses and we would leave at some point to the mall or the park or something and then come back home…I don't remember any of them washing their hands when we got back inside. they'd just immediately lead me back to their room or the living room or something, and then I'd feel incredibly self-conscious about going to their bathroom to wash my own hands. and I always thought it was absolutely bizarre because the way I was raised, the first thing you do when you come back home after taking your shoes and jacket off is go wash your hands. it's common sense. why on planet earth would you not wash your hands. you've just been touching a hundred public surfaces that could have anything on them and you think as soon as you set foot in your own house all the germs you've picked up just evaporate? it's absolutely insane to me to know that so many people don't bother washing their hands. WASH YOUR HANDS.
the amount of people tagging this with variations of "wow I never thought to do this" is actually making me want to scream please for the love of GOD practice proper hygiene
Green Day “demastered” their 1994 album Dookie into 15 “obscure, obsolete, and inconvenient” formats, like wax cylinder, Fisher Price record, Teddy Ruxpin, and player piano roll. This is amazing.
they were all produced in such small quantities that you literally have to enter a lottery for the chance to buy them
the singing bass is $79

The Anatomy of Story by John Truby is a really good book by the by, if anyone’s interested in this sort of thing.
This is super helpful!’
rip mythbusters you would've loved destroying cybertrucks
that's okay cybertrucks are doing a fine job destroying themselves
The post I just reblogged made me think about "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" and how, now, in our time of dramatically reduced infant and child mortality and increased abundance, the more statistically likely interpretation of that six-word story is this:
"Extended family and friends have gifted us too much stuff for our kid. They didn't even get a chance to wear these shoes before they outgrew them." And if that's not an indication of amazing progress, I don't know what is.
I am so serious when I say that now is the time to take your activism offline. I am not spending the next four years squabbling on social media or getting woke points by reblogging posts that my followers already agree with. There are real places in your offline community where you can do good if you seek them out
Also: DEESCALATE ALL CONFLICT THAT ISN'T WITH THE ENEMY. We have so so so so much in common, are so much more aligned, with each other than we do the people we need to fight against. We're going to have disagreements. We're going to feel strongly on different sides of an issue. But now more than ever we need to find ways to address those things without alienating each other and pushing others out of our movements.
I finally made the meme I've had in my head for over a year

Reblog this post :) Especially if you’re on mobile, you’ll lose the post if you click the link without thinking. Take a note from your elders before you
survived checking my bank account. i deserve a little treat
Chappel Roan is right btw, asking random people for photos and hugs is not normal, and it is absolutely not normal to get angry if said random person tells you no. Can't believe people are arguing about that, touch grass and look at a tree or something
"use chatgpt" that's the devil talking. buy four caffeinated drinks and pull an all nighter. this is the way.

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out
brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad
OP this is EXCELLENT
Now THAT’S a self care resource! If you’ve gotten distracted by capitalism’s appropriation of “self-care” and watering the meaning down to nothing this is a super helpful guide to cut through the bullshit.
