You know, at least in my area, when they wheel a vehicle out onto the ice in winter to gamble about when it’ll fall through in spring, they strip out all the fuel lines and interiors and stuff and just leave the shit frame, and the cars themselves don’t work prior to being selected for this. I’m pretty sure they also retrieve them afterwards.

Could they do something better with the thing? Almost certainly. But at least it’s not… as bad as launching fully functional cars into a river just for funsies..

Wolfboy and the everything factory is a really cute save the world adventure, where the main character is transported to the everything factory, the place where all things for the earth are made by magical sprites.

It stays relatively light and cheery even when they venture into deeper topics, and overall just totally worth a watch. Two seasons, fully contained story.

It’s an Apple Original, which may be why nobody has heard of it (seriously, the fragmentation of media into all these services is hell for discoverability), but honestly I think they are probably the best production studio out there right now, especially for animated stuff.

If you’ve seen owl house and liked it, this has strongly similar vibes.

Many of us are honestly equally confused by the idea of always/frequently being horny, which I hear is the case for many many men (probably also a lot of women but you rarely hear about it). I legitimately cannot imagine it. I’ve never felt whatever that feels like, as far as I know.

Same.

I like to start conversations with strangers by asking them to tell me something they personally find interesting (specifically not something they think I’ll find interesting, something they do). Sometimes I get some great new information, sometimes just a short conversation.

It really weeds out people with no personality or hobbies or whatever, though. Like the dude who decided to explain basketball to me.. not as an info dump, just because he had nothing else to talk about and it was on tv..

Even the guy who told me about how he designs machines to make trash bags was more interesting than basketball dude.

Adventure time, futurama, red dwarf, hyperdrive, over the garden wall, wolfboy and the everything factory (despite being fairly new, it’s absolutely amazing and I’ve watched it a lot), owl house, centaurworld, Steven universe, infinity train, Hilda, final space, bravest warriors, gravity falls, and lower decks.

Yes that’s a lot, yes there are more (I have a playlist that shuffles them all like a tv station made just for my comfort), and yes I do watch them when I can’t sleep. Which is frequent. Most of them I’ve seen so many times I don’t even need to watch, even though I’m aphantasic (no internal imagery). Hearing them is soothing, and plenty to know exactly what’s happening. They are safe, enjoyable, and mostly have enough episodes to cycle through that it doesn’t ever feel stale or like “the hell? I just watched this one…”

All of them except red dwarf and hyperdrive are animated because I have prosppagnosia (face blindness) and animation is typically a lot easier for me to get into in the first place, but importantly the two live shows have somewhat limited characters, fairly consistent wardrobes, and the characters don’t tend to resemble one another (a huge problem with most tv and movies these days; everyone looks so samey..) Star Trek would probably be on this list but there are so many of them that I’ve only seen each series a few times.

Entirely true. I wonder what it would take to create a bog..

I mean people have been filling them for ages right? It’d just be restoration.. but probably nowhere near where I am so probably still expensive ;)

I know of a swamp that’s kinda sorta nearby, but like people constantly joke about dumping bodies there so it wouldn’t be a good spot.

I wouldn’t get found until humanity gets its shit together and cleans up the place. So at this rate, never. But not a bad idea.

Nah, now that I’m older, I don’t want to leave anything behind that contributes to the litter. I mean heck I don’t even want to leave my future homestead to be cleared out and have my things dumped.. I’d rather hold the land in trust and pass it, and all the stuff therein, along to whomever I hire to help me when I’m too old to do everything myself.

At this point I just want my corpse dumped in the woods to be consumed, probably on my own land. Return to nature, maybe bury the bones if needed afterwards. Though it would be cool to have my skull collected and painted or something. Put on display somewhere on my land so I can stay there forever :)

It’s all dumbass security theater anyway. There’s no good reason to ever have done it. Same with the vast majority of other shit TSA makes one do.

I worked at an airport back in the late noughties, and as airport staff, TSA was significantly more lenient with screen checks, even though employees have far far far more opportunity to cause damage/terror than some rando traveler.

Same. I bought the kettle for tea but I’m not really big on tea. I’ve used it to make big batches for beer brewing, but not a lot for individual cups of tea. Now I have the French press and use it daily.

I like having food, clothing, kids, house, ac, and all the other shit I’ve bought

Where did you buy your kids? I never find them for sale around me. :(

Not clickbait, rage bait.

It’s just pro-corporate propaganda packaged in a way to drive engagement from both sympathetic corpo middle managers agreeing that nobody wants to work anymore, and burned out workers who kinda don’t want to work anymore under these conditions. Anything less than undying loyalty to our corpo overlords is worth writing a pressure piece about.

“Journalists” and other writers haven’t seemed to feel a duty to report objective truth in a long time. They have a duty to drive engagement and that attracts a completely different set of people than factual reporting.
