Why are the diet ones the only ones that bounce before exploding?
The video didn’t load at first so I thought you were talking about literal girls exploding and asking why the skinny ones bounced
@audder17 Reasonably sure it’s cuz the diet ones are less dense, because the artificial sweeteners are both less dense and taste sweeter, so less weight from that....
..... I could be wrong tho
this evening i forgot the term for trussing a bird and called it turkey shibari
this is a really good point, actually

I’m so excited because I found out today that this little guy exists
He’s a Western Blind Snake and he looks like a very shiny earthworm
that is snek
not snake
he’s not bigg enough to support 5 letters.
Really, he might just be snk.
My roommates boyfriend is a cis male business student who is still figuring out the whole "having a trans partner" thing. He struggles with the whole they/them thing but we don't really mind because the boy is clearly trying is heart out, and we all appreciate that.
He recently told me that he puts "nonbinary" on his insurance forms because, and I quote "they give you a lower premium if you're not a man."
He thought it was funny in a "I found a fun insurance loophole that I shall share with these be-prononed folks!" Kinda way.
I was losing my shit because this cis man is literally Transgender for insurance reasons.
Also I have absolutely zero idea if being nonbinary actually gets you lower premiums but he told me that was true and thats funny enough for me.

"average person uses 10m of cling wrap a day" factoid actually a statistical error. average person does not use that much, clingwrap ashileieeighy who lives in the woods & uses ten thousand miles of cling wrap a day is an outlier adn should not have been counted
i've seen this video four times and i don't understand. is she trying to make a forest sauna?? is this a recipe for yoga pants swamp ass????
Okay, I've seen a lot of people claiming that Biden is somehow responsible for the baby formula shortage. You're looking at the wrong president.
I've attached a picture of the man responsible below.
It's a fun picture of Trump with some other suits surrounded by piles of paper cutting a ribbon with a gold pair of scissors. This was to represent cutting regulations. This was the point where everyone who's ever worked in a lab started screaming.
See, those regulations weren't there because OSHA agents were bored and wanted to slap fines on people. They're there because people got hurt.
These were laws that said don't put workers around radioactive materials without hazmat suits--caused by the Radium Girls ingesting radium daily and daily. Don't leave meat out for hours on end and don't just pick maggots off--Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is about the meat packing industry and how unsanitary it was. Workers have to wear helmets where falling is a risky--helmets reduced death and paralysis. Use vents and fume hoods to move gases away from workers--look at all the people with different cancer from breathing in Lord knows what. Provide a fire escape and don't lock workers in--146 people died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Don't dump waste into the waterway--the Cuyahoga River literally caught fire. Don't produce medical equipment in unsterilized factories with unsterilized equipment--the Dalkon Shield caused millions of infections because it was made in a repurposed Chapstick factory with no sterilization (among other things).
These laws are written in blood.
Every single regulation that is part of the EPA, OSHA, the FDA, and the DOJ is there because people were grievously injuried or died. They're not there for fun. You might say that this is all common sense stuff but right now Amazon is tallying work place injuries faster than a textile factory at the start of the industrial revolution. Tesla refused to paint orange lines around machines, delineating where it was safe to stand. History tells us that capitalists will put profits first, worker safety be damned.
Now I haven't read the very, very long list of all the regulations that Mr. Trump decided was worth getting rid of. I don't think he read that list. But I'm guessing that there was a law about sterilizing equipment for food, maintenance for equipment, and/or consistent inspections that suddenly Abbott Laboratories no longer had to follow. And just like so many other big companies, they decided to put the profit over babies' lives.
Capitalism is the monster here, and this wouldn't have happened if one company didn't have a monopoly on making baby formula. But regulations were a muzzle on that monster and they kept rampant capitalism somewhat in check. With that gone, this is what happens. It's only a matter of time before we lose another important commodity because regulations were erased.
I remember the day this picture came out, and having worked in the food industry my whole life I knew it was going to lead to disaster...
Minor correction: The big reason the Dalkon Shield was bad-news-bears wasn’t that it was made under non-sterile conditions (assuming that is true, not arguing it one way or the other), but because the thing itself was designed Bad and Wrong, which is part of the reason anything sold as a ‘Medical Device’ has to go through FDA testing and approval.
(The thing used a porous, multifilament string which let bacteria travel up it into the normally-sterile uterus from the decidedly less-sterile-as-you-go path to the outside world. Do you want sepsis? Cuz THAT’S how you get sepsis.)
28 & 30 😏
28. Creampies: hot or gross?
-Super hot with the right person or situation. With some rando you just met? Gross
30. Girth or length?
-Length. I'm not all about coke can dicks that I can't even fit in my mouth or that will split me in two! I don't want to be in pain while having sex. And I'll pass on the crazy length too. I just want some nice medium sized dicks.

OW!
i cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have gossipy bitchy littl pirvate group chats or discord servers with like 4 people in them whose stated purpose is posting "new kind of guy" or "this reddit post is so fuckin dumb" or "i got into a fight on twitter today look at this idiot's reply" so your homies can still see it and laugh and back you up but more importantly, so you are not tempted to post these kinds of things on main
Not only will I defend bi men, but I will also ferociously make out with them
Same.
Also, as I have said before, in aggregate, bi men are better in bed.

I love Josh’s anti-classism so much. I grew up in a single parent household that didn’t have time/the ability to cook. I taught myself as an adult and ended up loving it. I cook with this stuff a lot. Shit, the RealLemon juice ends up in a lot of my cocktails. Sure, I like fancy ingredients when I can afford them and I have things I get picky about using - but I have bad hands, mincing garlic is painful as fuck. There’s a lot to be said for knowing how to work with what you have. Don’t shame people for trying, don’t shame people for feeding their families things that they enjoy.
if you are only a good cook if you have access to premium ingredients at whole foods or above prices then you arent really a good cook
The parmesan is the only one that's even slightly questionable.
Salt? Are you shaming people for using store-brand salt???
If I had to use three of those, I’d pick the cheese before I picked the garlic - it’s nothing like real parmeggiano but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, just that it’s a different cheese. Meanwhile I have never found a minced garlic that works out well.
You should ask other people in the comments about what type they use, they've apparently had some success. I've had excellent food made with garlic-ginger paste, but haven't replicated that myself.
Cheese powder as per box-mix macaroni and cheese is great, fwiw.
I have no idea who figures out how to make sure their recipe uses a whole number of lemons. Usually I want a small amount of lemon, for tea or artichokes or salads. Which is easy to take from a refrigerated bottle while leaving the rest for later, but hard to take from a lemon while leaving the rest for later.
I LOVE my jarred garlic. I struggle with the fine motor skills involved in peeling and cutting tiny, sticky garlic cloves. Measuring it out by the spoonful is so much easier. (Also, I found a brand that uses vinegar and salt as a preserving agent instead of citric acid. BIG improvement in flavour)
That tip about vinegar and salt instead of citric acid is the SHIT, that's the stuff i wanna know. Kinda like when you get the canned tuna, the tuna in oil has more flavor than the tuna in water.
Wanna know another thing about that ReaLemon?
I am 90% more likely to use that in leu of “Fresh Squeezed” lemon juice as an ACTIVE choice.
Not cuz I’m lazy (I am, but that’s not the main reason)
Not cuz not using the flesh + zest seems wasteful (it does, but again...)
Because with bottled citrus juices, you KNOW about how much acid you’re actually getting. Which is important, especially when you have heartburn issues that too much acid makes worse (to the point of wanting to die by ripping out my own intestines via my anus bare-handed). Fresh-squeezed is going to have a MUCH WIDER rage of acid content. This is... non-good for my health and sanity.
You will pry that little plastic lemon out of my fridge over my cold, dead, decomposing body.
#i know people have started criticizing the#‘men are afraid of getting laughed at women are afraid of getting killed’#but this is real?
Oh, yes.
A few years ago I went to pick up a woman I met on OKCupid for a date, and a friend of hers was there. They kind of over-explained “Oh, she just showed up to say hi” and there was a vague nervousness in the air that even my autistic ass was picking up on. Her friend was playing conspicuously with her phone. I went “Ah, the safety. Need to get a picture?”
Dead silence for about a second and a half, then the friend took a picture, looked at my date, and said “Have fun” and walked out the door.
(I would ordinarily have been clueless, but I’d just been asked to be the safety the previous night.)
My advice to male-presenting folks: recognize that this not your problem. By which I mean, this sort of security check isn’t a problem for you. It doesn’t hurt you. You aren’t being insulted or disrespected. And if you treat it like what it is– a reasonable adaptation to an unreasonable situation– and just roll with it, your dates will be more comfortable, and you will have a better time as a result.
The same applies to phone calls mid-date. Let them answer the damn phone without drama.
They aren’t accusing you of being a dangerous person. The very fact that they are willing to go on a goddamn date with you means that they have extended a certain level of trust. But the fact remains that there isn’t really a way to distinguish between “a man who isn’t dangerous” and “a man who knows how to behave like he’s not dangerous.”
OK, let’s be real here. This is less a “women” thing than a “people who date men” thing, but totally legit.
First date with a guy? You better believe there’s a folder on the desktop of my computer with at least 1 good pic and all the identifying information I have available. It syncs to my google drive. Certain Very Specific people know it’s there, and have access to it.
Because not all men, but men are fucking TERRIFYING as an aggregate.
And, for the record, I’m a 6′2″, 200lb+ man who has been known to accidentally injure someone with an over-enthusiastic hug.
Sometimes i get lucky and cause misunderstandings that are funny
'its not realistic for two characters to talk in the middle of a sword fight' cool I wrote it anyways because it fucks severely
Hey, have you ever fenced before? No? Then shut the fuck up, you wouldn’t know! Ask a fencer!
I'm gonna write six more mid-spar arguments to personallly piss you and only you off
I’m imagining this conversation happening while they fight with swords
I've literally heard a similar conversation by people who were fighting with swords. During the fight.
Thude, seriously, have you never seen people fight before? Anything short of Blind Rage, the battle is as much wit as weapon. Drunken fistfights come with both bloodshed and banter. Words are just as much weapons as any blade you have to hand, and if you’re not going to use the tools you have available, then woe betide.
