    This sounds like an exaggeration, but a Twitch streamer got up and made a cup of coffee during a big motorcycle chase segment. His character was literally bouncing off of cars and guardrails on the highway, and he still finished the chase segment successfully. Literally didn’t touch the controller at all, and still finished it.


  • My mom’s side of the family is all at odds because my aunt was a chronic shit-stirrer who would casually make up blatant lies about other family members. She was extremely nice, so the people around her tended to believe her. But all of the family members who didn’t spend a lot of time around her would quickly see through her BS, often because they were the targets of her lies (because they were never around to defend themselves when she was lying about them).

    By the time she eventually died, like a quarter of my mom’s family refused to even go to the funeral, including two of her own children (my cousins). Another quarter of the family only went to try and mend bridges with the people who had been listening to her lies for years.

    Things are better now that she is dead, but there is still a lot of residual “I can’t believe you actually thought I would do that” type of tension between the formerly-ostracized family members, and the family members who had been listening to my aunt the whole time. And that remaining quarter of the family who refused to go to her funeral are still absent. It’s amazing what kind of lasting damage one manipulative person can do.

    It’s also worth noting that there is an extremely contagious parasite among rabbits, which causes white calloused spots on their liver. It is spread via feces, and rabbits (like most herbivores) eat the same plants that they poop on. If you’re hunting rabbits, one of the steps in field dressing your kills is checking the liver for spots. Because if it’s spotted, the rabbit is sick.


  • The funniest one is the mushroom that makes you see tiny people for like a week. It’s not like psilocybin that causes different visuals depending on the person. As far as we can tell, the only visual hallucinations that these mushrooms produce are just… Tiny people. Like little Smurf-sized people on every surface, clinging to your clothes, climbing up walls, etc…

    Secondly cashapp patel said that the animal would also not be disqualified

    Specifically, he said that current laws automatically disqualify both victims and perpetrators of sex crimes. For instance, both a pimp and his trafficked prostitute get charged with crimes. Kash said the law currently targets both parties. The senator then turned that around and went “so in cases of bestiality, the animal is the other party? And the animal could be hired by the FBI?” And Kash basically went “I mean… I guess if you want to put it like that?”

    In reality, if a trafficking victim is being forced into bestiality, the animal wouldn’t be the “other party” in this case. The other party would be whoever is forcing the victim into doing it. But the senator wanted their “Kash says FBI will hire rapist animals” soundbite, and Kash happily gave it to him because he’s a fucking idiot.

    I dislike Kash, (he always looks like someone is slowly but steadily inserting hardboiled eggs into his ass, and he’s trying not to react to it), but as the above poster said, the actual reasoning behind the decision isn’t awful. Trafficking victims often get charged with sex crimes under our existing laws, because the laws don’t make a distinction between victim and perpetrator. If you get caught for prostitution, the law isn’t going to care that you were trafficked and forced into it. Which then makes escaping the situation even harder because those arrests will show up on a background check when they apply for jobs. In that way, the system is actually designed to keep the victim in sex work, because it’s one of the few ways they’ll have to make money after being charged with a crime.

    Yeah, this photo was actually one of the things that he credits with helping him get clean. Because this was basically rock bottom for him, and seeing this photo in tabloids was a large part of what made him realize how bad his addiction truly was.

    He did the same thing that a lot of addicts do, and basically did a full 180 into health and fitness instead. Basically replaced the drug high with a workout high.




  • I actually enjoyed the Pattinson Batman movie. It was a callback to the Detective Comics origins. Hollywood tends to focus on the action, but Batman in the comics is first and foremost a detective. So the Battinson movie was focused on that. And for most of the movie, he was basically just a dude in a hoodie with a bike, riding around town looking for clues. The Riddler was a great villain for that kind of movie, and doing it any other way would have reduced Riddler’s entire character to just another punching bag.




  • I used Google Timeline to prove I was at work one time. This was back when I was freelancing. My client tried to say I was stealing time, because I had an off-site meeting that ran long. They were threatening to withhold a few hours of pay, even though I was at the worksite the entire time. I pulled up my timeline and used it to prove that I was, in fact, at the meeting site for an extra few hours. Being able to de-Google that functionality has a lot of value to certain people.

    It depends on how you’re doing it, (and how it was stored, because the molecule is pretty fragile and breaks down easily) but typically a single hit would be in the ballpark of 90-110 micrograms. So 500x would be about 0.05 grams. Which is a truly astronomical amount of LSD. Probably not the highest ever recorded, (that honor goes to a couple of idiots who thought it was cocaine and snorted it), but still a mind-meltingly high amount.

    That highest dosage (while technically unknown, because we only have the ER reports when they showed up completely comatose) is estimated that they had somewhere between 1000 to 2100 hits each. And they survived. So at least Toad isn’t in danger of OD’ing.



  • Tight hip flexors can also cause back pain. There is a group of muscles that run from the inside of your hip joint to your spine. They’re called the iliopsoas muscles. They’re basically impossible to reach with regular massage, because they’re fully surrounded by your pelvis. And when those muscles are too tight, it causes lower back pain.

    If you get lower back pain from sitting too long, or from laying on your back for too long, you may have tight iliopsoas muscles. There are technically ways to reach them for manual massage, but they’re not easy nor comfortable, (and they basically require a physician to do safely.)
