When micro-transactions make the leap to the real world, idiots will be obsessively ordering and paying for the same item, over and over, in hopes of getting the "with everything" version, instead of just paying a one time premium. Good for the vendors, dark days for the rest of us.

That's why patience is pretty much a teacher's most important quality. That or the ability to surpress murderous rage.

It seems that Instagram is missing the opportunity to offer a cyberstalking mode, that only allows one to scroll. So many embarrassing moments, not avoided, lol.

@catfluff Apparently they're high quality ice cream beads that are flash frozen cryogenically at -320°F. The reason they are not ubiquitous, is that in order to retain their look, feel and taste, they can never be exposed to temperatures above -40°F, thus precluding them from most store's "warmer" freezers and making shipping an expensive, time sensitive affair. That's why they are only offered as a specialty treat at high traffic venues that can absorb the shipping charges and justify the cost of running overclocked freezers full time.

Great. Like he doesn't already spend way too much time on Twitter.

Abandoned Soviet era Polish bunker became site of a wood ant colony that set up within it. Some worker ants, out on their daily food run, accidentally fell into a room below their path and became trapped. They couldn't walk the room's ceiling to get to the vent hole that they had fallen through. Those that didn't die from the fall, were forced by necessity, to uncharacteristically eat those that died. Over the years, this second, queenless and offspringless colony, of exclusively worker ants, survived on the steady rain of clumsy foragers who succumbed to the fall. There were about a million ants in that room, in an anthill they'd made from dirt on the floor, when scientists discovered them. The scientists put a 9 foot plank in place, that led from the floor to the previously unreachable vent. By the time they came back, a few months later, the ants had "escaped". The end.

@xlaxxine I never heard of the Barnum effect, but now I see how it applies exactly to me. Seriously though, I really never heard of it by that name but have read explanations for belief in psychic phenomenon and horoscopes that apply those principles.

Not so much fisting as a big electro-stim butt plug, though Steve, the guy holding it in place, is definitely up in there. If you are curious....https://youtu.be/twJL8Y5Nksk . Warning! It's not too romantic, though the blond seems pretty friendly, lol.

For the scholarly amongst you, Pornhub has many documentaries on how bones grow and form in hands. Science!

"Destroy Uranus!" thus Taco Bell joins the anti-space crusade.

Ha!! I pick my teeth with slivers of their bodies and wipe myself with the dried remnants of their shredded and boiled corpses!

Funny and clever. She seems like she'd be fun to hang with.

Find an appropriate nut, don't forget the washer and run it down TIGHT! Then post photo on r/DIWHY. Profit!

From Reddit: It's 178 years old! It cost the equivalent of around £3m to build back then, with 11,000,000 bricks brought up the Ouse river from the Netherlands and topped with French limestone. Since then it's had many times the original build cost spent on maintenance, it was originally designed to have a 120 year lifetime. But now that it's listed (and forms a key part of the London-to-Brighton mainline) it's hopefully here to stay for a lot longer still. Here's a view of it from another perspective: https://i.imgur.com/qk7KCT3.jpg

Partially true story. She's 22. She had an accident at 15 that caused a head injury, leaving her with episodic blindness, vertigo and other complications. She wasn't thrown off the bus by the driver, but chose to disembark after encountering an ignorant Karen(is there any other kind?) who loudly insisted that assistance dogs could ONLY be yellow, and as Karens are wont to do, would not be dissuaded nor shut her abusive and ignorant trap.

Sorry, but these are still viable. They are perfect stepping stones for those who are too afraid to make an immediate commitment to going full commando. They're like training wheels,lol.
