Boss gets a dollar, I get a dime…so I shitpost on company time.

Fairly certain I ran into these guys on my way towards the Goblin King.

A Gebra named Al, I think. I remember reading that in class in like eighth grade.

One of the best examples of how it’s expensive to be poor.

We got a BJs (regional wholesale club) membership around the time our first was born. It was worth it just for diapers and wipes. Hell, when he was on formula, a giant jar at BJs cost the same as a medium jar at the supermarket.

A lot of things were like this, but the best examples were the ones that take up the most space and either get used (comparatively) slowly or go bad relatively quickly. Like paper goods. Frozen anything. Fresh meat, produce, dairy.

But if you don’t have the space to store that stuff (and especially to stock up when there are coupons/sales), you’re missing out.

I’m thinking of buying a chest freezer just so I have a bunch of frozen pizzas on hand so we have no excuse to order delivery when we get home too tired to cook. On that use case alone, the freezer would probably pay for itself by 6 months, including electricity.

Can’t do that if you’ve got a 600sqft studio.

Sometimes one big purchase might be worth it to get a membership for. Like tires. How much you’d save on a set of tires would be less than the cost of a first-year membership, especially if you got a Groupon. But if you don’t have the space to store wholesale goods, it’s probably not even on your radar.

That happened to me on vacation, and why I was a member of the Houston Museum of Natural History (I think that’s what it was called), despite only being there one time and living like 1200mi away. For my family of four to go and park, tour the museum, see a planetarium show, etc, it was cheaper to become a member, even if we’d never be coming back during its term.

Is she…staring directly at the X-ray itself?

Like, I don’t pretend to understand how X-rays work. I know they emit a wavelength of light that goes through soft tissue like nothing.

And I know normally, nowadays (or at least before digital came around), there would be a piece of x-ray sensitive film on one side of the object, and a bulb that shone x-ray onto it, which would then be developed (i think in a process sort of similar to polaroid but I could be mistaken again).

The dentists panoramic X-ray that swung around your head like something out of a sci-fi VR movie was the coolest, imo.

But…it looks like she’s looking directly at his foot through a special lens? Does it just put some sort of filter between her and the X-ray that makes it look like a really bright flashlight through the fleshy bits between your fingers?

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.

Whose your friend who likes to play?

Realizing now that there are probably people here who were Riley’s age (11) when that movie came out (2015)…

“Dick Bong” sounds like a nickname you’d give someone you caught trying to turn a bong into a fleshlight. Or vice-versa…

There are 10 types of people in this world…those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Jesse is talking about where plant babies are coming from. Like, what came first the chicken or the egg. Well, what if “the egg” evolved two separate and unique times.

I.e, imagine that a few hundred million years ago there were no eggs. Like, chickens would just split in two and there’d be two chickens. Fast forward a bit and now that chicken lays eggs.

At the same time, there’s a turtle, right. And turtles work differently, in order for them to reproduce, the turtle had to cut off a foot and bury it. But the foot would grow back, so no permanent harm. Well, over time, eventually, over thousands of generations, the turtle also lays eggs.

The two traits, though they are the same result (egg laying), took two different paths to arrive at the same solution.

It’s called “convergent evolution”. Same idea as how crabs evolved five different times. Five completely different family trees whose common ancestor is like a bacteria or something.

Idk I’m not a scientist, I’m just high. I could be way off.

You ever see The Boys? Season 2, Episode 7, "Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker?

Like that. But trees.

What was it? A plastic 6-pack ring?

I think these are different teeth. Like one person tried it and another had insatiable curiosity after seeing the bit one.

Windows is just a hostile OS now. The only explanation for its dominance now is mass Stockholm syndrome.

Or use a password manager and strong unique passwords everywhere. It’s really not that hard. Just disable everything built into browsers and OS and use a good third-party platform like Bitwarden.

Honestly it’s easier than remembering one weak password (and then being to change it every 3 months for your bank and every 4 months for your utilities…)

Then you can store your passkeys in Bitwarden boom they are on all devices.

Googles Passkey is one of the easiest things to use in the world.

I really wish there was an opensource Social Auth option that was, ya know, actually used. I hate logging into my Google account, but likely for different reasons than op is stating.

So my kid is learning guitar, and I keep thinking of ideas for mildly inappropriate songs for him to learn, because he’s only nine.

I’m gonna add “Stacy’s Mom” to that list, for you.

I know it might be wrong, but I’m gonna teach him that song.

Lol nobody Rs TFM anymore. I’m in the middle of having ChatGPT teach me terraform lol.

Me, every time I see Fabuloso.

Hello, Clarice.
