  • The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It’s not your job to enforce traffic rules.




  • In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.

    German trains being on time is a myth.



  • I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.

    Yes she was barefoot.


  • I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

    I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

    I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

    I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

    I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

    I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

    I feed people’s pets without asking.

    I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

    I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

    I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

    I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

    I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.









  • Connecting to the network does not have to mean connecting to the internet. Basically every consumer grade router out there is capable of restricting a device to the local network only. It could reach other devices on the network and the other devices would be able to reach it, but it would still be cut off from the internet.



  • It wasn’t based on the book at all. The book itself is a compilation of short stories, but the movie’s script wasn’t based on any of those. It was originally written as an original action script that had nothing to do with anything Asimov. The studio that agreed to produce it made the writers rename it to “I, Robot” and insert a bunch of Asimov sounding shit in there, like the 3 laws and some character names.
