There’s nothing more majestic than a galloping herd of wild chaise lounges…
Curse a lot. Think of how google’s AI summary won’t appear if you include the word “fuck” in your search, or how everyone on social media is self-censoring naughty words for fear of The Algorithm. The internet has been carefully curated and manicured to be marketable to every possible demographic, so they can milk data from everyone; from the six year old watching Fortnite videos to the pearl-clutching suburbanites worried about the Gays corrupting their Family Values. Become unmarketable by swearing like a sailor. Make communities with your fellow potty-mouths. Rebel against censorship by saying “fuck” a lot.
The best lesson I learned in chemistry class was to not put a wet beaker on a pre-heated hot plate
Republican?

Don’t dress for the ride, dress for the slide
Slava "Buran"
Commemorative Soviet watch made in the late 80s or early 90s, for the Buran space shuttle.
Yeah, I wish there was a company that made a fully dumb electric car
I’ve been thinking this too. How hard is it to start a car company, I wonder?
Of even if they have nothing bad to say, obsess about it anyways and think they must be lying to not hurt your feelings
Isn’t Artemis a guy?
Edit: Nevermind, I was thinking of Apollo
Isn’t that normal? My car’s wiring is grounded to the chassis, and I don’t have my wipers coming on every time I turn on the headlights

I start to laugh
I’m taking a shit

The postwar attitude towards food was somewhat different than ours today. Back then, processed food was seen as a technological marvel, a symbol of man’s mastery over nature. Fortified bread meant your kids could get their essential nutrients. Any kind of vegetable could be found in a can - no more reliance on whatever was in season. Everything a housewife could need was pre-packaged, condensed, powdered, canned, or frozen. Processed food was advertised as tastier, healthier, and easier to prepare. Food companies would publish recipes like this, which were basically just “toss a can of this and a can of that together for an easy meal!”
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”
Everyone has to slow down so they can point and laugh.
There’s also Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Can’t philosophize if you’re freezing to death.
If my body doesn’t like having so much sugar in it then why does it fucking crave it all the time
Some laptops come with that built in, or you could use some scotch tape and a little square of paper for free
It’s actually pretty easy thanks to the Dutch American Friendship Treaty
TIL about the Narrows or Dalles, a stretch of the Columbia river with narrow, deep, and fast rapids caused by basalt formations.
"[The water] rushes with great impetuosity; the foaming surges dash through the rocks with terrific violence; no craft, either large or small, can venture there safely. During floods, this obstruction, or ledge of rocks, is covered with water, yet the passage of the narrows is not thereby improved."
The rapids, along with nearby Celilo Falls, were submerged in 1957 with the construction of a dam.
Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer?
Several years ago I leapt enthusiastically into the realm of 3D printing by buying a massive, expensive delta-type printer. I had to put it together myself, which was fun, but after that I struggled to get it to print well. Even simply trying to get the prints to stick to the bed were difficult, leading me to add huge brims to all my parts which were a pain to cut off afterward. Eventually I gave up fiddling with it and it’s been gathering dust ever since.
I know that a lot of you treat the hobby as an opportunity for endless tinkering and optimization, which is great, but I think I’ve realized that what I’d prefer is something that just works out of the box with a minimum of adjustment.
