nothing will ever be funnier to me than the 30-50 feral hogs joke phase, I think about it at least once a week

Happy 30-50 feral hogs day

God, what a simpler time.

I sent a letter today - something I haven’t done for years

It’s full of plastic bread clips

It’s for Science

At the risk of loosing some mystery, I think I should add some context:

There’s this website-I mean, scientific organization called the Holotypic Occlupanid Reasurch Group.

They are a group of abiologists who study and classify Bread clips.

I found a species that has not yet been described:

Yay for citizen science 👍

wtf?

Apparently HORG is widely appreciated by pediatricians since knowing exactly what kind of Occlupanid a child may have swallowed makes removing it safely much easier

IIRC this is actually part of the reason HORG was started. A man swallowed a breadclip and the clip closed around part of his tissue linings (in his intestines I think?). The specific shape and flexibility of the clip were significant determining factors in the removal process, as some bread clips have spikes and prongs that would have made extraction more complicated. They started the taxonomy so they could work out extraction techniques for each type.

are you fucking kidding me occlu like oculus or close and panid like bread. its a fancy word for breadcloser

happy very specific archive thursday, everyone

Imagine picking up up a pint of ice cream for $5 and when you get to the register it's $6. This is going to be a nightmare for everyone who works there.

If you catch them raising prices on you in the store, complain. Get a manager. Make a scene. Show them time-stamped photos of prices: "I put a $5 item in my cart and that's how much I intend to pay for it." Do it every day. Give them 1 star reviews.

Consumer backlash is how we stop this. It's the only way. Especially with companies like Walmart that have established themselves as the only option in rural communities. It's not "being a Karen" if you're making legitimate complaints and being exploited.

me: (making a mistake) (eating a hot piece of potato right out of the oven) (breathing and chewing with my mouth open) HAAAAAAFASASFAFHAA

my gf: (in a completely different room) … what is that sound? are you eating a hot potato?

The second time I quilted Joan of Ark.

This one just got first place at the Utah State Fair

[ID: A close up of a quilt that has Joan of Arc on it. She has a halo of light behind her head, is wearing plate armor with a small cross on the breastplate, and is holding a sword that emits light in front of her with her right hand while her left hand is raised in the air to her side. END ID]

*guy with an undiagnosed disability voice:* haha it’s kinda crazy how everyone just deals with the constant unending pain but we just thug it out like usual 💯💯💯

you know what I definitely will give ATLA credit for, in retrospect? no push for zuko to reconcile with his father. no weird, dissonant 'yeah he's an abusive fascist but He's Still Your Dad' thing going on. fuck you. he's going to jail.

straight boyfriend of bisexual woman at pride shocks everyone by ordering in fluent faggot

Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair

dudes are rocking at unprecedented levels

👏 let 👏 people 👏 get 👏 sloppy 👏 on 👏 company 👏 time 👏

interesting how they didn’t share this instead where study show that productivity has actually increased, almost as if people tend to do their jobs more efficiently when they’re not miserable

And both can be true simultaneously…. My BiL was just telling me that he’s so far ahead on his quotas (and his whole unit is) that their manager keeps telling them to slow down a little so he spends like 3 hrs a day on video games and is still ahead.

The ways we could restructure our economy if we were willing to admit that working people to the bone is NOT the most efficient way to do things and isn’t good for people OR companies…

40 hour weeks are antiquated and abusive relics that no longer need to exist.

Sensory issues are so funny. No I can't eat the spaghetti you bought a slightly thicker spaghetti than usual. And today isn't a spaghetti day! Oh nevermind today I don't care. I have so little texture related sensory issues I'm so glad. Nvm I can feel all of my seams and I'm wearing the good pants and also please get me scissors I haven't cut the tag out of my new shirt yet. Oh my sensory issues with sound are nonexistent. Nevermind this hurts so bad. Nevermind it doesn't hurt anymore.

new york city is the united states of the united states

you might argue that it's texas. and texas is certainly more odious on a political level. but new york city has a much stronger "we are the only people in the world who actually exist" vibe. people who are really into Being From Texas think they're better than you, but they are at least aware that people outside Texas exist
