One of my proudest moments as a white dude who likes spicy stuff was when a buddy and I were hanging out with some local guys while on a trip to Mexico. I was just chowing down on some super hot salsa and one of the Mexican guys gets real excited and starts calling me "the blond Mexican". I'm sure my wife is tired of that story, but I will continue to tell it to her for the rest of my days.

When I was in third grade I had an argument with my teacher who told me that insects were not animals. I was really into nature documentaries and books at the time and I knew that insects were in the animal kingdom. I remember going home and being really mad about it. That really soured me on school for the rest of my life. I'm still bitter about it!

Very accurate. The other day my partner walks in.

her - What are you doing?

me - reading about how to prepare acorns for cooking

her - huh, ok *walks away *

I think it went something like : See tree > acorns! > can you eat acorns? > look up acorns > spend 30 minutes reading about preparing and cooking acorns > Forget original thing I was going to do

Wait... I thought he was a jihadist? Or does this mean that jihadists now like the gays? I'm so confused.

why not both? I'm a formerly "gifted" child who is now an anxious adult with dozens of abandoned hobbies and unfinished projects. I'm also a doctor.

Why do you need a Geiger counter? It looks like a cool device, but why is it EDC?

All my airport signs run Arch, BTW.

Today I learned that badger badger badger is 22 years old. This has been stuck in my head for over two decades!

Right, the thing that caught my eye was running a full desktop OS for a sign board.

I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

Awful. They're not only creating a humanitarian disaster, but an environmental one as well.

Kid Rock is country? I thought he was shitty rap rock. Or is any MAGA artist now deemed "country"?

What about my 5 digit Slashdot uid number? Does anyone remember Slashdot?

Lake disappointment (contains no water)

Well, that would be very disappointing if your lake had no water. So I think they nailed that one.

It's the English way

I don't get this kind of stuff at all. And this is coming from someone who drives a manual transmission car. Electric cars don't need transmissions, why would I want to pretend to shift gears? It's like the fake engine noise. Very silly.

zombocom! Came here to say the same thing. I still pull it up once or twice a year for inspiration. You can do anything! The unattainable is unknown!
