Elon Musk's Cybertruck found to be more dangerous than infamous Ford Pinto: report

A new report has come to a disturbing conclusion for Elon Musk's Tesla Cybertruck — the model is far more dangerous than even the infamously

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

[beautifullovebread]

More dangerous than the Pinto....an economy car....I would be hanging my head in shame

[db-1986]

The Cybertruck, an electric vehicle with no liquid fuel on board, has more fire fatalities then the Ford Pinto. The car famous for exploding into a ball of fire if hit in the rear.

How do you fuck something up that bad?

remember how utterly inescapable how i met your mother used to be with the memes and references and barney and bro code and wait for it... and then the finale was so hated it vanished overnight

[mozilla-firefucks]

The finale so successfully erased the show from public consciousness, that when people tried to come up with a name for the "extremely popular show with finale so bad that people just immediately stop talking about it" phenomenon, people called it... the Game of Thrones Effect. HIMYM got memoryholed so hard that people forgot it even existed

one of my worst writing sins is abusing my power to create compound words. i cannot write the sentence "The sun shone as bright as honey that afternoon." no. that's boring. "The sun was honey-bright that afternoon" however? yes. that sentence is dope as fuck. i do not care if "honey-bright" is a word in the english dictionary. i do not care if the sentence is grammatically correct. i will not change. i will not correct my erred ways. the laws of the english language are mine.

[mcgravin]

Not the laws of the English language; the laws of classical epic poetry. What you're doing is making Homeric epithets.

Now put it into dactylic hexameter, and we'll really be getting somewhere.

[theinstagrahame]

Wouldn't that also be a Kenning, as seen in Beowulf?

It's not an ocean, it's a Whale-road.

[mcgravin]

Kennings and epithets are extremely similar, yes!

To my knowledge (and I'm not an expert in this, so someone who has studied it is welcome to correct me), epithets are usually used more like a poetic adjective to describe a noun included in the text, while a kenning straight up replaces the noun with a more poetically described noun.

So "the wine-dark sea" is a classic example of a Homeric epithet, with "wine-dark" describing the sea (but "sea" stays in the text). Whereas, "whale-road" is a whole replacement for "sea".

I think a Norse skald and a ancient Greek poet would get along great.

the one thing thing funnier than this caption is that the only reason they stopped doing it was that the ferret shit in the tube

[syn-ack]

That photo makes Felicia’s work seem much more recent than it is. Here’s a picture of the world’s smallest particle physicist herself.

[garlic-bready]

They didn’t stop because she shit in the tube - she had a diaper on because they knew poop would obstruct the particles as well. She eventually stopped running through the tubes because they became too long for her. At that point she was retired and became a pet!

[dr-dendritic-trees]

I love her

thanks for making me this hot tea bro. Why did the steam make the shape of a skull and crossbones when you stirred it lol

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

i got this photo with gus from breaking bad and the conversation went like this

me: “hey can you pretend this banana I found outside is a gun?” him: “it is a gun” me: “shit you’re a good actor”
