I wasn’t feeling well at work once and the boss told me to go get something to eat. I did feel better and a little while later when he saw me and asked if I was feeling better I thought that the food in my gut had helped I meant to say food in my belly but told him “I feel a lot better with something in my butt”. Not sure we ever spoke again.

I am a 5'2" woman with a not-particularly-deep voice, but I once started daydreaming in an office setting and got to humming a VERY old commercial jingle for dog food, at the end of which I scared the crap out of my co-workers by booming "MIGHTEH DAWG" in my best pretending-to-be-a-cowboy voice. Things got quiet and stayed that way for some time. Defense contractors are kinda skittish.

Was working on a routine job with another fella, me doing one aspect and he the other. He was almost done his part of it, so I go to ask him “want me to snug these bolts in?” Wires in my brain get crossed, I look him dead in the eyes and say “you wanna suck me?”

Cue an uncomfortable pause, he realizes what I meant to say, I realize what I just said, we both nearly died laughing. He’s one of my closest friends to this day.

Sometimes we have kids read nonsense words to practice their knowledge of letter sounds and how they interact without them attaching meaning to it. These are some good ones I came across today

Christ and Nikolai Gogol Eating Spaghetti by Andrei Bodko

[blessedarethebinarybreakers]

I looked this up because I had to know the context behind painting Christ with a nineteenth century Ukrainian-Russian novelist sharing spaghetti...I did not find any context, but I did learn Andrei Bodko has painted many such images of Christ hanging out with everyday people and I think I'm in love with some of them

Christ visiting a rehabilitation center:

Christ feeding construction workers:

Christ reading bedtime stories:

Christ visiting the artist:

Andrei Bodko's on Instagram @andrei_bodko.

And here's a website article that describes some of his paintings and explains that before Andrei was a professional iconographer,

"he was a street artist. In March 2024, he decided to diversify his iconography and draw a series of non-canonical religious pictures he called ‘Always Near’. He believes that his works are reminiscent of pre-revolutionary ‘lubki’ (Russian naive pics of church themes). 

'These are not icons, but religious paintings on Christian themes,' the artist says. 'How do we believe in Christ in the 21st century? Is he around, helping us? We believe that God is omnipresent, he hears every beat of our heart, sees all our thoughts. God is always near, but we don't see him.'

Domestic incompetence is going to kill men

[kaiasky]

ok but the sight of that giant lint block does not make me want to clean out lint more. imagine how good that shit would feel to touch omg

[regexkind]

You can just gather that shit. And then if you're only drying cottons or something you can take it camping and use it as firestarter

[sufficientlylargen]

Some other things a person might not know, especially if nobody ever taught them because their parents assumed that men don't need to do house maintenance:

Washing machines have filters to catch large debris; you should check these periodically and remove anything stuck in them. If you don't, it affects the machine's efficiency and eventually can lead to the filter getting clogged and flooding your laundry space.

Washing machines also need to be cleaned from time to time, generally by running them on hot with nothing in them except cleaning chemicals (you can buy washing machine cleaner, or google it for various diy solutions that probably involve vinegar or bleach). If you don't they'll start growing mold, and then all your stuff will come out of the wash smelling bad.

Dishwashers also generally have filters to catch large chunks of food and whatnot. Boy howdy can they smell bad if you don't ever check them.

There are dishwasher disinfectants as well, or you can do things with vinegar; either way, it'll prevent mold buildup and also hopefully rinse away buildup from soaps and whatnot.

If you have a reusable water bottle, wash it weekly. Otherwise you're probably drinking mold, the effects of which can be widely variable but almost always bad.

Vacuum cleaners often need their filters cleaned or replaced. If you vacuum a room and it smells worse than it did before, you probably need to change the filter or the vacuum bag.

[scienceandstorytelling]

To clarify, the reason you have to clean the lint out is 1) it makes your clothes not dry well and 2) it fucking CATCHES FIRE

Spin the wheel for your new government assigned hairstyle.

How do you feel about it?

Hell yeah, I can totally rock this! I love it!

It's not bad, actually. I like it.

Wow, I hate this. It's awful.

I've been hate crimed. I'm suing the government.

I already have this hairstyle.

How do people not know that many of them? 😭

[daggersandarrows]

wrt the "all of neil gaiman's books are actually stolen and he's lifted every single plot from some other, worthier writer": are we doing this because we actually believe that or are we doing this because we can't accept that bad people could ever make something beautiful or good or inspiring. we have Got to stop. we cannot retroactively sour grapes every single work of art created by every rapist, misogynist, cheater, and liar to exist. fucking stop equating beauty with goodness. austin jones has an incredible voice. austin jones is a horrific person. fucking hold it in your hands and look at it and be uncomfortable with it. beauty is not goodness. beauty is not goodness.
