the lock jammed on the front door of my shitty prewar apartment building so i just spent twenty minutes forcing it open while my very drunk neighbor sat on the steps nodding at my efforts and going “this is fun. being locked out together. we should hang out more”

[fatherofthebride]

he’s like 6’2” and jacked at one point he was like “try a kick. try… kicking it” so i donkey kicked it as hard as i could and it did absolutely nothing but he was still like “wow. more torque…. than i expected. you’ve got a surprising, uh. torque to size ratio” and i think i’m putting it on my resume

everyone wonders why trees are so big, but I know.

[dwergas-deactivated20180817]

OK, I can tell you, but the world will never be the same

[dwergas-deactivated20180817]

their bigness comes chiefly from their height and their girth, which are both enormous. if you look at small things you will tend to find that they are very low in height, width, etc. (you get the picture). trees, however, have a very tall height and wide girth, which makes them extremely large

When you have to make your own food, and you’ve been watching too much food network lately

[nerdgasrnz]

What you have before you are deconstructed, rustic chicken breast fritters coated lightly in breadcrumbs and toasted until crisp and golden- the sauce is a tomato, worcestershire, and vinegar reduction, with the vinegar for some brightness, and some brown sugar for sweetness to offset the umami of the chicken

[evaunit08]

I love what you’ve done with the presentation of your plate. it’s simple yet fun. it shows that you’re mature but you’re not afraid to show your inner child. However, with that being said, there is way too much sauce on the plate and the flavor could use more acidity. Your chicken is under seasoned. I feel like you could have used more salt. For these reasons, we had to chop you.

With a billion dollars, you could spend 34 grand a day for 80 years. It would take a person working full time at minimum wage 2 years to make 34 grand.

[mytearsrricochet]

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

[mevsthhighway]

they didn’t abandon her!! they tried eight months to reach her!!!! as their last farewell to her yesterday they played her “I’ll be seeing you” by Billie Holiday:

“I’ll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

I’ll be looking at the moon

But I’ll be seeing you”

They love her so much and they tried so hard!!!

[stickmanbrandon]

Oh man, It doesn’t end there.

This isn’t the first song NASA sent Opportunity. They had a playlist:

https://www.space.com/41434-mars-rover-opportunity-wakeup-music-playlist.html?fbclid=IwAR3uL6q4tOmLQTIEhiwYegGc99nv4N01HQKItpCLQiQYIptBOevNN6uIyT8

It’s on Spotify, it’s called “Opportunity, wake up!“

This is what’s great about NASA and it’s what’s great about people. These are world-class engineers. When they sent a rover to another planet they could have easily looked at it as just another scientific tool. But people don’t do that. We can and will get emotionally attached to the most inanimate of objects. We can and will anthropomorphize anything. And frankly Opportunity’s camera mast looks like a little face with eyes and everything, so why not?

So they started calling it her.

They nicknamed her Oppy.

They told her to take a selfie not long ago.

After 15 years of Oppy flipping the double bird to her original 90 day life expectancy, when a planet-spanning dust storm finally knocked her out and she stopped responding to the engineer’s wake-up messages, they started playing music for her.

And after 8 months and almost 1000 unanswered wake-up messages, when it was finally clear that Oppy was never going to wake up, the last thing these world-class NASA engineers did for their little rover on another planet

Was play her a love song

Autism advantage - Not always being able to understand hidden meanings in what people say means they can’t always trick you into doing something you don’t want to do

[multifandombkg-deactivated20190]

Once when I was in high school I was walking back from a pizza place with a friend and this man in a red truck, according to my friend, was trying to trick us into getting into the truck. The guy got annoyed and drove off pretty fast. I don’t remember what he said but afterward my friend was like, “dude that was so smart of you!” - “what was?” - “you can quit playing confused now, obviously!” - “I… Actually Am Confused Tho, Pal.”

[spongebob-autisticquestions]

Damn! I’m glad you were okay!

But this makes me curious, does anyone else have any stories to tell too about not understanding when people were trying to get you do to something?

[noctisluciscaelumcxiv]

hdvsjjajshshs so many but the funniest one to me was the time i was at work and some dude was trying to “impress” me (my granny says he was but i still don’t get how) and trying to get my number. He kept talking about how great his car was (him: did u see my car? You know that’s the newest model! I bet it caught your eye/ me: i didn’t see your car but even if i did i wouldn’t be able to tell because it’s just a car/ him: oh…uh…), he kept talking abt how well he treats his girlfriends and wife. And after like ten minutes of me not getting wtf he was talking about and trying to direct him to buy something so he could leave he finally just flat out asks if i could give my number (declined). When i was telling my granny about it she said it was so obvious because he started talking abt his possessions but uh really i don’t get how talking abt your car translates to asking for a number. Also apparently when some people want to flirt they just mention how they are in bed and what not. Again not something that my mind automatically connects to “this is flirting!” So i just nod and move on. Happens alot with bf. He will be implying he wants me to do something and i just keep talking and then later on i realize he was trying to imply something he didn’t wanna say out right. Or someone will mention “oh jeez, this sure is hard. I wish i had help with this task!” And I’ll just ignore them. And then later they get upset because they so OBVIOUSLY asked for help! But they never asked! 😤 And salesmen who come up to me with a product usually leave annoyed because I’m like…so confused. I don’t think they are trying to sell me anything untill they flat out ask if i want to buy it and even then i don’t think about it until after the fact. Even when they are listing off prices I’m just like “w-what is going on am i missing something why are you giving me prices???”

One time I was at a KFC in London waiting for my order when a girl who was chatting to her friend started to have a conversation with me

I can’t remember all the details but I remember talking about how I was just visiting London for a day before heading back to the North, which surprised her

But it brought us to the topic of travel. I talked about places I’d been to and asked about her, but she seemed VERY curious about who I travelled with, every single time I brought somewhere up, but each time it was just with my family and it confused me to why she kept asking. I then received my food and left

1 hour later, I realised she was probably trying to see if I had a girlfriend or not

[spectraspecs-writes]

I have been truly flirted with one time in my life. (afaik of course) Freshman year of high school, I’m a tiny 14 year old, up in my locker before first period, packing up my bag for the day. A boy comes and leans on the locker next to me, and says, in that Miles Morales Into the Spiderverse voice, “hey.”

And then I stand up, having finished packing my bag, and say “Hello!” Slam my locker shut, lock it, and go off to class.

I got halfway down the hall before I realized, “wait… was he flirting with me?”

[averruncusho]

This is the first time I’ve ever been so directly called out in a post I’m absolutely decimated

[deadboytryingtosurvive]

This one time… (less than a week ago) I was on the bus home. And I was reading fanfic on my phone while listening to music. The guy in front of me turns around and starts saying stuff like ‘hi, you can’t hear me, because you have earbuds in, and you’re reading a book, but hey’ and I kept reading but said ‘hi’ and he was like woah and asked what book i was reading. I told him it wasn’t a book, it was a fic. Which inevitably lead to my terrible explanation of what a fanfic is. Lemme just say having to explain fanfics and fandoms is such a pain where everything in these people’s lives is farming and sports. And then as we are about to my spot he points to one of the foreign exchange students and said something about him being single if I was looking for a boyfriend. And I looked him dead in the eye and said ‘I’m a lesbian’ and I swear I somehow didn’t realize he was trying to flirt with me using his friend?? And my nine year old sister was the one to inform me he was trying to flirt. ////

[spongebob-autisticquestions]

I remember back when I was 12 and just starting high school (we start high school earlier in the UK), and after a few weeks, some girl who was in none of my classes kept saying “Hi” to me every time I passed her. I always said “Hi” back and walked on, didn’t really think much of it, I had no idea she wanted to talk to me

It basically got to the point where her friend literally had to walk up to me and say, “You know that girl who keeps saying hi to you? She likes you!”

I interviewed for a position at Dell once, and when I left it, the receptionist got my attention and asked me about what I was doing there. I told him I was interviewing for a job in tech support at which point, he asked me if he could call me if he ever had tech problems. I stared at him, looked behind me, and stared at him again and said that tech support was right there. It took a 2 hour car ride back to school for me to realize he was hitting on me.
