I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. I joined in the spring of 2013 and FS celebrated it's first year shortly after and it's sixth year this past spring.

No... don't. The "Dinosaur Thing" is a hornets nest. Don't poke it. It even got an entry long before FS proper did.

... and I take exception to the "takes from the sites..." comment. That's bullshit. It's called user curated.
I do want to say, "tumblr, niengag? Don't flatter yourself," but some funny shit does come from tumblr. Niengag... not so much. It's mostly all rip offs of other sites anyway.

Yes, there is a conversarion to be had about the ethics of paying those inmates $2 a day...

There's also a concersation to be had about whatever it was they did and to who that led them to earning a conviction and subesquent incarceration.

Well... like they said on that list, if licking Uranus is what it takes to get Humans into space, so be it.

Good question:

Basicly, certain radioactive isotopes of elements break down into "daughter elements" in very predictable rates and ratios.
By counting and adding up the isotopes, this can tell us how much of them were included in the rock when it formed and by comparing the ratio(s) tell us the age.

If I had to guess, they may have used Uranium-Lead, Uranium-Thorium and/or Rubidium-Strontium.

To tell that it is one, they also use the isotopes. The Earth has a known isotope signature or fingerprint. By comparing that to the canidate, they can tell if it's terrestrial or not. If it isn't, we've gotten good enough to also be able to sometimes tell where in the solar system it came from too.

Kinda, yeah...

Conversely, also depends on what you, your boyfreind and your mom have agreed on.

And weather or not you live in Florida and plan on being on the Jerry Springer Show.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just , like, your opinion, man.

Seriously though, gtfo and take your fail with you.
I'll bet you're one of those idiots that thinks reading is stupid. I almost pity you, that you are so stupid you can't understand the movie and are so insensative that you can't appreciate it either.

Almost.

My guess is that it's a natural spring that also has (very) high natural gas content.
Damned convenient and pretty effing cool too, I think.

Not that unusual either. There was that "eternal" flame behind a waterfall that was posted here not that long ago.

Nah, I just pick up my shit and go to the next one. Make it the problem of the AWOL selfcheck attendant.

If I DO see them, I hitch my thumb in its direction and tell them it's broken.

The one "luxury" we allowed... or rather, was demanded and I conceded to was the basic internet that kinda came with the telephone land line anyway. But that story is another thing entirely.

Smartphone? Nope. No cellphone of anykind, but I eventually got a prepaid flip phone after a while that caried just enough time on it to keep the number active that I wound up barely using.
Cable? Pffft. I wish. Rabbit ears were a thing for us long after they weren't for most people.
Subscriptions? None. Ever.

Actual essentials like water and power did get turned off semi regularly (well after the phone and internet) and sometimes we'd have to make do without until payday a few days later.

I can honestly say I'm alive and didn't starve thanks to ramen and PB&J sandwiches. The silver lining is that I like them both and still do.
