I bet if you blasted a crab with a strong enough beam of UV you could get it to sunburn eventually. Or at least suffer some equivalent injury

I disagree, I sometimes do laugh at explained jokes, if the reason is something I can understand but didn’t connect the dots on rather than an in-joke that I don’t have the context for.

Is the tower of London still an option?

I once found a random food court bathroom that has hand dryers that work amazingly well, and I was genuinely surprised by that when I stumbled on it. I’m guessing it probably is just more expensive or uses more power or something and places cheap out on them.

I have to eat really quick on workdays, so I don’t always get anything, but usually cereal, or I’ll spread applesauce and cinnamon on homemade bread if I’ve prepared some the last few days. Or recently pan dulce if I happen to have bought any recently because there’s a bakery nearby that ive discovered sells it fresh for quite cheap.

To my understanding, elements smaller than iron can produce energy in nuclear fusion reactions (like in stars and such), but bigger elements require a net energy input to make them fuse. Meanwhile, bigger elements eventually decay into smaller ones (though many take an extremely long time). So, given a sufficient not quite eternity of time for everything lighter to get fused together and everything bigger to decay, iron is the midpoint everything ends up as.

Bold of you to assume the guys crewing that spaceship aren’t just doing some job they hate to pay the bills

ah, right, forgot about hornbills

Do any birds have horns? (Rather than just horn shaped tufts of feathers)

On the other hand, drawing pockets somewhere because you just realized that the way you drew the arm means the hands wont reach the pants, and you really don’t feel like trying to draw a hand, is something a human might do.

It’s sometimes surprising to learn how many of the plants around are edible. Like so often I’ll see some common wild plant, wonder what it is, look it up, and discover that some random bit of it is technically edible even though I’d never heard of anyone eating it before.

I once confused my mother by calling a snow leopard at a zoo a snep forgetting that was internet lingo

I live in the US and even my walk to the library isn’t that bad. Ive done walks that long or a bit longer as a novelty or to get exercise, but in general no, about half an hour is about as long as I “normally” like to go without looking into a bus or something.

Memes like this just make me get anxious thinking about the past

Were it really true that letting people move between countries unrestricted causes some kind of serious problem, one might expect a similar kind of issue to arise from internal migration within a particularly large country like the US, and yet, one can freely move between states without it causing some kind of government failure. I don’t really believe modern society actually is different in a manner that makes larger populations disadvantageous, since demand for goods and services increases with population size, having more people in an economy should organically increase the number of jobs required to meet their needs, it’s not like we dig jobs out of the ground like oil such that a given place has a fixed number.

I do get that unrestricted immigration isn’t as popular with, say, the democrats or such, as anti-immigrant people like to claim. However, I am in favor of unrestricted immigration. For me to say that I want ICE abolished isn’t to misrepresent my stance on that matter; I can only truly speak for myself and whenever I say that I desire that organization dismantled, I mean it entirely literally.

I could see customs, but immigration? Honestly the more I think about it the more I conclude that the entire concept of immigration enforcement and a distinction between citizens and noncitizens is unethical

This seems like the equivalent of making nice straight cable bundles by just unplugging all the cables from where they need to go to avoid needing turns and such

Falafel gyroius just sounds silly

I’ve just realized: if the classic boomer meme is “wife bad” stuff, does that mean only the boomer men are making memes? Or is there a whole genre of “husband bad” memes made by the boomer women that are flying under the radar?

Isn’t cycling around kind of what money does though, just generally with a lot more links in the chain?
