The reason for having so many cooking recipes is hunger and boredom. But maybe that taste boredom comes from our nature telling us “move from here and find other place to live”

Judge: You have been charged with First Degree Kittenphilia. Several witnesses claim they saw you approaching kittens and acting suspiciously… they’re KITTENS! How do you answer to these charges?

Perhaps his lie only counts for things he knows though. Also, in an alien society he would be the most valuable asset from another world since he can create infinite wood which is the rarest element in our solar system.

At home it would be more accurate to say you sent a poop. You didn’t take a poop. Where are you taking it? And why?

I’m in the middle of breaking down the packaging of a Roland digital piano for recycling, and I’m impressed by how some of it uses intricately-folded cardboard instead of molded styrofoam to hold stuff in place.

Omg my parents and my maternal grandma was like: (about my older brother’s marriage thing) “You have to see out more options (in the same timeframe) in case your first match fails” or something…

Yes, Peter Thiel is an anagram of The Reptile. No, he isn’t literally a lizard man, any more biolgically related to a literal reptile than any other human. Unfortunately, his behavior is human. Psychopaths are human.

I remember seeing someone like this on train. No clue if they were staff, but I would have complied if they asked me to do something.

Well, not celebrities but TV shows and game shows where they appear.

Upvotes can be considered approval on how well the content fits the category.

An old fella I knew long gone now used to say this when ask a question he didn’t know the answer to.

Probably not the best place for this, but I couldn’t think of anywhere else to ponder on this simple, but potentially sublime, reflection. Anyways, all insightful comments as they relate to this thought are welcome.

The phrases “This shit is dope!” and “This dope is shit!” have exact opposite meanings.

Shamelessly stolen from one of this weeks FunFacts episodes (independent German News format)

For example, buy a calendar in June and it should be 50% off

It would be the logical first step in the conquest of humanity by the machine spirits.

In medicine you go from (and excuse my gendering for clarity) Ms/Mr to Dr. to Ms/Mr when you become a high-up consultant.

I don’t assume it would be that much if any, but it’d still seem reasonable if there were a slight measurable difference, right?

Imagine living in 1899. The 1900s are just around the corner, nothing feels the same.

so i just had this discussion with a friend whether smartphones should be required to be repairable by law.

Translation of the Chinese Characters: [It’s such a shame, since I could probably write a whole novel using 200 Chinese Characters! Long ago, there was a wolf. He really wants to eat goats. But he is very clumsy, so every time he tries, he fails to catch any goats. The End.¹]

Just thinking out loud here. I don’t know too much about starting my own business, but I have a pipe dream about having a side gig building on-site mini servers for clients who want to start their own businesses.

How quickly we accepted that it’s normal to pay someone to go get our groceries for us. To drive us around when public transportation is available. To run errands for us. To bring us fast food.

Oh no! I think I see a Gossip coming this way!

if you think about it, boats can’t go above a certain speed (hull speed) and airplanes can’t go below a certain speed (or they would stall). Really makes you think

Just occured to me that functionally that seems to be their role. Conspiratorially, super troubling. Viewed this way, it’s essentially the NSA without political oversight (what little the NSA had to begin with).

If I see a gap between two lines of text, and that gap vanishes when I commit the document to the web or save it to a file, then it’s not ‘WYSIWYG’. But this has been my experience with 100% of such editors.

Cuz it takes like a few weeks to process and get your passport and documents back…

To be honest, this development is simply the logical consequence of applying the principle of profit maximization.

anymore, lol.

hate waking up sweating because the morning is not as cold as the night and now I have too many blankets

When you smell something, that thing is actually inside you. You can say you smell a flower, but what you’re really smelling is some volatile molecules from the flower, and when you smell them they’re already inside your nose.

nor able to sweep up brick dust on the floor for decades because it is “destined” to be reverse-bullet damage that is fixed in the future.

Not like, a poisonous ant or anything, I mean how many times has a singular ant domino effected itself into killing a human. Like knocking a napkin off the table that someone then slips on.

whaddya mean i gotta click three times every morning to get my work programs open. I want them open for me!!

Like, i wanna help people is much easier to achieve than i wanna help 10 people.

@showerthoughts Do you need to be patient in order to understand psychotherapy ??

It’s just the sweet version of sauerkraut.

Now we can’t really know whether or not it was because time travel isn’t real or if no one from the future wants to make history by meeting with a pedophile.

Modern physics is all about conserved quantities. Every physical law can be described through an associated conserved quantity. Noether’s theorem establishes a connection between the two.

Actions speak louder than words. His actions in driving up the costs of fossil fuels, and showing the fragility the supply chain, is doing more to persuade other countries to divest from fossil fuels than any words from a sane president ever could. The decline of the US is an example of how it disadvantages a country to continue relying on them, while other countries forge ahead with renewables.

We pretty much always need an outside force to get us to stop.

If all the money ends up in hands of billionaires and their corporations and there will be no money in hands of regular plebs… Who do you think will have to pay the taxes? Also, the people would figure out a different way of trading or currency. And with that one getting taxed, all the billionaire’s money become worthless.

They always make out that it’s a free thing and then it’s not.

Don’t test that. Seriously. I hate you just for thinking about testing it. In fact, go off the internet and make a baby happy, now!
