Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

Reading this article was pretty depressing btw, everyone’s going to therapy allegedly but the emotional cowardice of this as a concept lmfao

[segamascott]

that's because they're only going to therapy to learn new words to explain why they're never in the wrong lol

Did I not say we are in a ghosting epidemic lol

This reminds me of the AAM letter about the guy who just... packed up and moved out on his girlfriend of multiple years that he was cohabitating with? while she was away and then had to face her again years later as his new boss.

It was a real doozy and I was like "surely this is one of the fake ones" but damn that's a depressing Wired story.

I ghosted my ex, and she's about to be my new boss

update: I ghosted my ex, and she’s about to be my new boss

Remember the letter-writer who had ghosted his long-term girlfriend 10 years earlier and just learned she was about to become his new boss?

Incredible. Men when they obviously need to just apologize and make amends with a a woman they have mistreated

oh my god this is me. i was addicted to designer amphetamines and completely delusional at the time of writing this. i had lost forty pounds and thought i was hot shit. i thought i was the reincarnation of Kurt Vonnegut. this was serious, and my friends laughed when they saw this go viral on twitter. it made me realize i had issues and im sober now. im also shocked i managed to stay employed at that time. To answer your question: im from LA but I grew up all around. I was living between Baltimore and NYC at the time. My mom is a beautiful Italian woman (Milan by way of Bolzano) and my dad is an insufferable Mexican from Montreal.

fwiw, my Reddit was suspended for this, im doing a lot better now, life is good, and im really happy :)

this is the most viscerally effective anti-drug PSA i've ever seen, not least because i think it's plausibly true, unlike the ones i normally see

Me trying to say something to my partner about some cool fanart I just saw on my dash.

Him: back up back up, what the FUCK is Mouse Effect.

Lizardsex I love you...

The burning question of course is whether everyone is mice, or just the humans. Like are the salarians little frogs or is it Mice and Mice With Blue Tentacles???

[lizardsexposed]

sorry im absolutely too floored by the fact you just called me 'lizardsex' to give you an answer

[hollowedskin]

... I see now your name is probably Lizards Exposed and not in fact Lizard Sex Posed.

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn't just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.
