hello my foul little beasties, i am taking a (hopefully brief) hiatus to deal with some health & personal issues. in the meantime here are some
terrible awful no goodwholesome fun facts i’ve been meaning to share:
- bone china is called bone china bc yes it contains bones!
- i’m not saying that autistic bees exist but autistic bees exist
- for 15 years sweden thought russian submarines were invading its waters; it turned out to be herrings farting
- cows have regional accents
- sometimes massive fields of ice eggs wash up on beaches. literally just ice shaped like eggs. that is a thing that sometimes happens and i derive joy from this peculiar world
*a shriveled claw extends from the barren soil* hello my wretched lovelies, i have once again tunneled my way out of containment! i am returned to you like a long lost lover…like a faithful and persistent fungal infection. you’re welcome!
i am delighted to report (in no particular order) that i do NOT have cancer, i have finally gone no contact with my transphobic parents, I am receiving a Good Grade in Therapy (from my nice new therapist), and steady progress has been made on the Big Shiny Mystery Project i will be shoving down your throats circa 2024.
and now let’s ease back into our regularly scheduled shitposting with some more super wholesome fun facts!
- the collective nouns for clowns include “trunkload”
- at one point in history, billiard balls would occasionally explode during a game. tragically this was discontinued and sports have been going downhill ever since.
- given the opportunity, butterflies will happily drink spilled blood
- which is fine and totally less concerning than the fact some spiders nurse their young
- and whilst we’re on the subject of dedicated parents: adult wasps can’t eat the food they feed their larvae…because their waists are too small to digest solids
- last and also least: picture a kangaroo in your head.
- (go on, picture it. 3D rotate it in your mind. the kangaroo is a Shrinky Dink, a perfect stationary image melting in the centrifugal microwave of your mind’s eye…)
- are you picturing the kangaroo?
- INCORRECT that is a WALLABY
painfully true
Imagine saying “where sweets are baked, not bought” about the decade that invented blue raspberry
vampiricvitriol asked:
I had an experience in a shop today, which ended in the purchasing of this Crab Bell. Which everyone has either said "what the fuck is that?" Or "CRAB BELL CRAB BELL CRAB BELL" I thought you would enjoy him
I LOVE YOU CRAB BELL
I’m not giving context for this because it’s funnier that way.
Joining Ted Cruz’s war on Barbie on the side of Barbie.
Still laughing at Brian May offhandedly writing the greatest understatement in the history of academia in his astrophysics doctoral dissertation:
Ah, yes - “various pressures.” Like being one of the greatest guitarists ever and playing/writing/singing for the most legendary rock band of all time.
Those various pressures.
VARIOUS PRESSURES
PUSHING DOWN ON ME
PRESSING DOWN ON YOU
NO MAN ASK FOR
UPS drivers making more money will help all workers make more money.
Labor united helps all labor. Rising wages is not zero sum.
Don’t fall for ‘divide and conquer’ rhetoric from the Establishment. They fear the power and influence of worker solidarity.
Not only that but a Class A CDL can take thousands of dollars to get, and road experience comes as HARD LESSONS.
And it is freekin HARD to get on at UPS. I’ve been on the road as a driver for 2 years and I got ghosted by them. Plus they work in all (hot, storming, freezing) weather and all traffic conditions. GIVE THEM THE FREEKING $42 AN HOUR.
I had a company offer me $16 an hour for Class A CDL work. They would not have had the AUDACITY to lowball me like that if the going rate in the industry was where it should be. I’m making more than that frying chicken.
Wanna know why some store shelves are empty and there are still supply chain problems? Truckers don’t want to put up with your stupid ass in traffic to bring your “stuff” to the stores for $16 an hour.
