Insurance doesn't cover acts of God

I think that's what he was going for, so I'm not sure this is a great insult

Since this cat was getting diagnosed with diabetes I think it's a safe bet they identified the cause of the plastic chewing.

Well, not my kink, but you do you.

I was in college during the years leading up to y2k and supported myself at the time getting IT infrastructure ready. Some friends and I decided to write a "virus" that, on bootup, checks to see if the current date is in the first week of January 2000 and if it is and a backup of the fonts is not found (so it'll only run once) then it'll back up your fonts and alter the originals to replace the y character with the k. This affected everything system wide.

That created more chaos than anticipated.

Looks like this particular popemobile was recently commissioned, and it's large. Built on a dodge ram truck. He planned to donate that from the beginning, though I suspect he expected to be alive when it was converted.

In related news this is the first time a popemobile was used as a hearse, since it's spec'd in a way that allowed that.

I think it's clever. If it still resembles a popemobile after the conversion the image of it destroyed may haunt Isreal. But yes, he ensured it would be feasible.

The half with the maturity to admit mistakes

At a scout camp when I was a kid someone put underwear up on the giant flagpole they had there. It wasn't until the staff pulled it down did anyone realize that it was huge like the one in the picture here, but looked "right" when it was up on the pole.

We never figured out who did that or where the massive underwear came from.

That hole looks suspiciously phallic

If this is a serious question these are normally sold to hospitals and compound pharmacies. They're to ensure drugs are administered properly and safely. The company that makes these was baffled when this meme started since it was only their rectal stickers that were selling out, and it created actual problems for pharmacies. Some had to hand write these with marker for a while.

Here's another example plus there are a few others linked in the comments there.

Anecdotally one of my cats will "fix" her fur in the mirror if it gets messed up. My theory is that they do generally pass the mirror test but most cats just don't care.
