If Trump gets in, it may very well turn into a totalitarian single party system.

They did give at least a solid twelve years of music. The best unplugged episodes were in the early nineties.

Scientists discover THIS many shots of vodka will inebriate you

It's just a thought exercise. There are several reputable YouTube videos on this topic. None of them claim that the speed of light isn't the speed of light. They're just demonstrating that we can't prove it with current technology. Similar to the difficulty it took to finally prove that one plus one equals two. We know that's correct, but it took years to prove it.

Next up, mandatory marriage? Like if you're single past age twenty one or so, you're criminally charged? Maybe sent as cannon fodder in the colonies?

I didn't believe this was real. Looked it up. Here's a cool video. Don't worry, the chevrotain wins this one.

Maybe they'd be less antagonistic if the prices were metric

I know it's wrong and that I'm going to Internet hell for admitting to it, but there's a smell when Grandma would light her cigarette in the hot box car with the windows up that I find nostalgic to this day even though I find the concept of smoking in a car repugnant

The crazy thing is that it was so prevalent, I don't really remember the world smelling smoky unless I went into a small room like my grandparents living room.

I didn't notice it in places like restaurants and bars until after the bans came.

I would guess that my generation has a diminished sense of smell because of it.

No duck and cover for this Xer, but we did a shiton of stop, drop, and roll. Spontaneous combustion was apparently a big deal in my childhood.

It's not me and I have an office. It doesn't get to me.

But I can definitely see that it would bother a whole lot of people.

On that, I'm old enough to have begun my working life when people smoked cigarettes at their desks. This is a much, much better alternative.

People bring their dogs to work all the time in my office. Fortunately, all of us are dog lovers, so we all enjoy it.

The other trend that doesn't bother me, but surprises me is that I'd estimate about two thirds of the people in my office vape at their desks.

We also have bean to cup espresso, which is nice. People will go find high end beans and contribute them. It works out nicely.

We're highly educated professionals, damnit!

I've found myself repatronizing half priced books lately. I've gone through five books since mid May.

I was a voracious reader before mobile devices existed.

I'd forgotten just how much more satisfying it is to let yourself go in a good story rather than bicker about minutiae with countless strangers all day every day.

(Sidenote: I've been looking up reviews for the books I've read and am surprised to find indignation at sexual scenes in novels. Like, if you've ever read a John Irving novel in your life, and you're surprised and offended that the next one has sex in it, you should maybe reconsider your chosen career path)

Just remember that if you take a Southern Baptist fishing, you need to take two Southern Baptists fishing. If you only bring one, he'll drink all your beer.

I've had raw milk I think twice in my life - once straight from the tank at a dairy. It is exponentially more delicious than pasteurized. I wish there were a safe way to produce and consume it.

I just took a charter flight that didn't involve going through TSA or the airport terminal.

Whatever happened on the flight itself was irrelevant as the sheer pleasure of getting on a plane without the standard anal probe far outweighed all other aspects of the journey.

I saw a comment on that bastion of reasonable well thought out dialogue, Yahoo, that asserted if Caitlyn Clark were black, she'd be on the team.

To this I questioned where on the roster Angel Reese resides.

The US team is on a streak of what, seven or eight gold medals? I'll leave it to their organizers as to whom they would like to play.

About these Lemmy poster bones.

Do you make stock with them?

Do you use the stock to finish a nice shit poster paella?

What's for dessert?
