Ah, the panic of having to use the bathroom so severely you can’t make it to your book or magazine in time. Oh look, I wonder what Methyllaurelsulfate does?

I always thought the bathroom reader books were tacky and stupid, then a I got a couple and they came in clutch so many times.

Now that I have a phone, I think it’s kinda gross to have items out for everyone to touch while using the toilet. Weird how perception changes.

Tangentially, isn’t the phrase, “WITH abandon,” to mean unchecked, or unrestrained?

1. Happy Birthday!
2. They’re great. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll run to check it after seeing the generic weather and compare them. Mine also isn’t in the right place for the wind, but it gets enough I can pretty confidently multiply by a percentage to get the real number. I hope you find yours as interesting as I do.

I think it’s important that you know that another human being on Lemmy got both sides of your joke. You earned my upvote.

Okay it’s a little more expensive than I thought, but c’mon man!

What is that, 3lbs 223 oz?

Ga-lactic is where we get lactic!

🤔 a gameshow for newlyweds, you say? I wonder what someone might call that…

“As a chili pepper lover myself I absolutely do not get this garbage trope of treating chili pepper consumption as some kind of contest. The idea is to add heat to your food - not prove your pathetic “manliness.””

Yes, it took eighty years but they eventually realized making their Yakuza affiliation obvious to everyone could hinder some of the criming.

Just DON’T go to the tour office in Hawaii 😳

I do work for a bunch of pharmaceutical companies and developing nation health outreach type organizations. (Don’t ask me much technical, I’m not personally on the medical side.) But I can tell you that most major pharmas, Health NGOs and Government drug safety regulatory bodies are keenly aware that “Vaccines are a victim of their own success.” They have multiple approaches to dealing with the problem that a successful vaccine campaign makes the need for the vaccines socially invisible. There are varying degrees of success, but not a lot of generalized and reliable ways to combat this kind of cognitive disconnect.

As Melisdrawing made clear, never feel bad about using new information to make a better decision.

That was a lame joke about the check mark. 😔

Why is Javascript on Twitter?

Yeah honestly. I know we (USA), do any number of things In a screwed up way, but it’s also what I’m used to. There’s NO border control anywhere around there? Seems weird to me.

Appreciate the informative response. Thanks!

Their Indigo cousins are pretty cool too:

Serious question, did you actually have / find that picture laying around or is that an AI image? No shade either way, it’s fantastic, I’m just always amazed that someone can find a perfect specific picture no matter where the conversation goes.

Yes, but I find their uncovered legs disturbing. It’s like full body shots of Kermit, something ain’t right.

When I was in HS, back in the early 90s, my friend’s father worked for a 3 letter office, near the Fed Triangle. He got up at 4:30 am every morning to make it to the office by 6 to avoid the worst traffic. That was 30 years ago!
