It means sex on the beach is allowed, but only if one of you is about to drown. Everyone knows this.

My response might be sligtly convoluted, but I'll try to keep it simple. It relates to allergies.

For me, I am extremely allergic to oysters, and largely also allergic to shellfish. I'm so badly allergic to oysters that I cannot be in the same room as someone else eating them, the smell alone makes me gag, my eyes water, and makes my bronchial tubes swell where I can't even breathe.

I however am luckily not allergic to peanuts. Regardless, I totally understand how potentially deadly a peanut allergy can be to those with the allergy, and if I'm in a public place around strangers, I tend to assume that anyone around me might have a peanut allergy.

Last year, I was in line at a gas station, and the woman in front of me waiting to pay had bought boiled peanuts. And she was fucking shelling and eating the peanuts while waiting in line, the bitch couldn't even wait to pay for them, with cash, and exit the store first.

I called her out on it, and even pretended that I did have a peanut allergy, and what she was doing was not only nasty, but also a danger to others handling her peanut juice covered money.

She proved to be a Karen and not give a fuck, but I did speak my mind, on behalf of people that could possibly fucking die over her nastiness and carelessness.

I thought Gidget was cute, back when I was like 12..

Interesting.

I saw a couple weeks ago where someone said TACO TOFU...

"Trump Always Chickens Out, Trump Only Fucks Up"

Fun fact:

STRAP ON spelled backwards is NO PARTS

You're welcome.

We are a result of our own ancestral design.

Think about it for just a few moments. When our ancient ancestors figured out how to make fire, rather than carry it around in a sled thanks to a lightning strike, everything changed...

You want more water? Turn off AI...

It's done all three, more or less in that very order.

Initially, modern tech was a progressive tool, helping immensely with science, mathematics, and documenting history and literature.

Then it became commonplace, everyone and their grandma has the internet, posting their random brainfarts, cat memes and fails of the day.

Now we're digressing, people using AI left and right, while simultaneously losing their own critical thinking skills, and also finding it harder and harder to double check anything without running into another AI brick wall.

Yes I realize your question is more about how tech has affected civilization. Technology has always been affecting civilization, so its done all three, evolved us, stagnated (I think peak useful tech and functioning generally happy civilization stagnated around 2014), and has been regressing since.

You just reminded me I have the first version of that game around somewhere, I might dig it back out one of these days soon.

Given that the average healthy body temperature is ~98.6⁰ F, and humidity on the Gulf Coast tends to be so high you gotta drink the air, I prefer temperatures 85⁰ or lower.

With high temperatures and high humidity, sweat can't even evaporate, forcing your internal body temperature into unhealthy feverish levels. I'm not a fan of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

I'm also not a fan of freezing temperatures either, but at least people can dress in layers to keep warm when it's cold.

My 750 watt power supply took a shit years ago, but I was planning on trying to fix it when I got another one for scrap parts.

Once I finally got a scrap parts PSU, I opened up the 750W, and I found the bottom side of the board was covered in blackened soot, apparently ionized nicotine and dust.

I cleaned all that shit off with rubbing alcohol, an old toothbrush, paper towels and Q-Tips. Apparently that's all it took to get it working again, yay!

LOL!

That randomly reminds me of a random post I saw on that other site years ago, goes something like this...

'Get 4 pigs, and paint them with numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5. Then let them loose in Walmart, and after they catch those 4, sit back and watch them look for #4...'

We're going to have to balance your engine then, so we're gonna have to remove piston #3 and #6 so it runs sorta smooth.

Good luck 🤞

For real though, 49 views in ~6 hours?!

I know right?! You could fit your entire wallet in there, and they'd never guess the password!

Don't ask how I know this, I don't have any trucknuts..

I was the weirdo that could change a filter with my left hand, while eating my lunch sandwich with my right hand totally clean.

There were still oddball incidents though, like magnetic oil plugs getting stuck magnetically and spraying my face with hot oil :(
