Born to Squint, Forced to See ⚜️

  • A fairly large number of people have different sized feet. When I sold shoes for a couple years, we always checked the sizes to make sure they were a match. 8/10 times there was a mismatch people would get visibly upset that we checked, or try to rush us and say its fine so we wouldnt check. Only like 2/10 times would people be like “oh Im so glad you checked, I only tried on one of them”. Honestly its common enough of a thing that Im surprised shoe manufacturers dont offer a way to order different sized shoes.

    A lot of professional athletes also have custom made shoes, skates, etc that accommodate their different sized feet. The reality is that its very common, yet people act more uncomfortable about having different sized feet than I ever saw anyone act about missing toes or having some kind of legitimate deformity

  • Bow ties are obviously business whimsical

  • With wings that is called “trashed”. Fry them half way, then sauce them, then finish frying them

    Its literally the best way to have wings, but a pain in the ass to find a restaurant that will do it. Let alone one that offers trashed wings as a menu item

  • Thats why I created UGC Followers. Are you tired of not getting enough real engagement with your fake ass testimonials? Now you can generate fake engagement characters to interact with your fake testimonials. Think of all the fake trending your fake testimonials and fake followers can generate!1!

  • Chirps (chips made of powdered cricket) exist, but they never took off. People have tried a lot of ideas, its moreso that consumers havent really shown much motivation towards insects as a protein

    Keratin protein bars is one of the better ideas Ive heard. Even still a lot of people wouldnt touch it if they saw it was insect-derived protein on the label

  • People who have literal geriatric fathers when theyre born tend to be wonky, especially with regard to being very tall or very thin.

    Technically having a kid in your late 30s is a geriatric pregnancy. Trump made that thing when he was 60+. Everyone Ive ever met with that old of a father was either very tall, very thin, or both. Usually both

  • There are roundabouts all over the US. Our capitol has roundabouts. Small towns in the mountain west have roundabouts. Medium and large cities have roundabouts. In Massachusetts they have roundabouts but call them rotaries. In some places they call it a traffic circle.

    We have no shortage of roundabouts here. If were avoidant of anything its light rail systems

  • Hes literally 79. Its not like hes on his deathbed

  • Aesthetically, one of my favorites is Zoom Earth. Visually its really impressive. Not the best for granular detail on a local area’s weather but still very cool

  • Thiel links these religious themes to what he calls the exhaustion of the Enlightenment story of progress and the crisis of modern liberal democracy, arguing modernity’s faith in reason, institutions, and global cooperation is breaking down under the weight of geopolitical conflict and technological upheaval. He has suggested the stagnation of transformative innovation, rising bureaucracy, and a growing reliance on supranational bodies are signals that the modern era is ending and that a new, more openly theological politics is emerging in its place.

    Within this framework, Thiel has repeatedly singled out Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as emblematic of what he calls “legionnaires of the Antichrist”—figures who seek to halt or tightly control scientific and technological development in the name of safety or planetary survival. In leaked recordings of a four‑part “Antichrist” lecture series, he described the modern Antichrist not as a reckless technologist, but as a “Luddite who wants to stop all science,” adding, “It’s someone like Greta,”

    Lets say for the sake of argument his overall idea has merit, but hes way off in choosing Thunberg. Who do we know, what major political figure, has massively undermined society’s faith in reason, institutions, and global cooperation? What major political figure has rejected scientific advancement that would save the planet in favor of the archaic “drill baby drill” model of propping up destructive industries like coal, oil, etc.? What major political figure has argued that the United States should have unilateral control over the western hemisphere, and has time and time again reduced global cooperation via the UN, treaties, etc.?

    I dont even think most of his argument is that far off base. I also think its plainly obvious that Donald Trump is the antichrist if there is one. His followers wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads (MAGA). He seemed to suffer mortal wounds, or came close, and yet miraculously survived (Covid. Or almost being shot in the face). He literally calls himself the “President of Peace” which is such a blatant ripoff of the “Prince of Peace” aka Jesus Christ. The antichrist is someone who will turn good people into bad people by convincing them that being on the side of evil is actually righteous. Look at the moral denigration of his followers who will never see the light.

    There was a website that tracked all the ways he was similar to the biblical descriptions of the antichrist that is ten miles long. They stopped updating it years ago before he even reached a second term in office. Its only gotten more obvious in the interim. Trump is literally the antichrist
