I did do all of my high school crushes like my homework; thought about it every night, but never actually touched it

I hope that trivia question is “which US president got Mussolini’d”

if you put infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters, one of them will eventually write a proof of something. that doesn’t make that monkey, much less the entire collection of monkeys, a mathematician

I hope one day it’s his turn and they do the same. I’ll make popcorn

admitting incompetence is the most competent thing anyone associated with Trump’s businesses has ever done

Mercury appears retrograde roughly every 4 months, for a period of about 3 weeks

I mean it’s literally called cheba hut. it’s like working at a place called Mary Jane’s “Baked” Goods and wondering why there’s so many stoners around

from context I’ve pieced together that I missed a popular post saying something like “pov when you get up in the morning to go to work and see your partners titties”

but American singers also tend to sound more British, because they often sing without rhoticity, i.e. without pronouncing R’s that follow vowels, and are not followed by another vowel, e.g. pronouncing “larger” like “laja”

more like, you need to hit a goal at the bottom of a funnel-shaped pit, but you’re in a car driving in circles on the walls of the funnel at 100mph, and anything going 150 mph shoots out of the top of the funnel. aim isn’t the problem, the shape of the funnel will take care of that. the issue is to get to the bottom you have to kick the ball backward hard enough to cancel out the speed of the car, i.e. 100mph, whereas to launch out of the pit, you only have to kick the ball forward at 50mph. if you kick backwards at 50mph, the ball will just keep circling the pit at 50mph; it might eventually reach the bottom but it will take a long time

I did a similar thing except instead of every time it was just once and instead of $20 it was $60 and instead of a savings account it was a bottle of champagne, and now I just get to think of the day when I’ll finally get to pop it

not sure which one you’re referring to. can’t be the second, they executed Alex Pretti on the spot for legally carrying a pistol. after disarming him. which is also a violation of the 5th: “nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”

not sure “reading inevitably turns you evil” is the message the library wants to tell kids

what’s even crazier to think about is that there were likely several thousands of years where our ancestors were about as cognitively evolved as we are now, with language and society and culture, and simultaneously living alongside other now-extinct hominin species, like neanderthals and denisovans, who were likely similarly cognitively capable. makes me wonder if stories were still have from mythology about elves or dwarves or fae are cultural remnants of a time when we actually did live alongside not-quite-human sapient creatures

for the original clip that the images come from, you don’t really need any context other than what’s shown here in order to get the point of this particular meme: an explicit statement that you are not taking a stance on a particular issue is itself an explicit stance on that issue

but to give the context that’s not really needed, it’s a game show, and the objective of this particular part of the episode is “don’t acknowledge Ron Perlman,” but the twist is some players don’t know the objectives, and just walk into the room and see Ron Perlman with no instruction given

but not WHY. (Other than thinning out voters)

congratulations, you actually do understand why

elections in the US are run by the states, not the federal government. a handful of states (specifically California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington) automatically register eligible voters and send a mail ballot to every registered voter

scrotifera literally means “nutsack havers”

edit: I suppose that’s just a paraphrase of the title, isn’t it
