Sounds like that movie Wall-E.

The hose scientists are like “hmm the particles stopped flowing, there must be a kink.”

wtf

I like this one when you request of them “Ask me what the most important part of comedy is” and then when they begrudgingly say “okay fine, what is the most–” you interrupt them with “TIMING” frantically like you are desperately trying not to miss the window.

The dude’s last name irl is Fishman lol

Its hilarious seeing the same “absolutely insane” tag that I have used.

The background lore of the TV show Severance is gonna create a new rise of ether used as a recreational drug in a sort of “do not build the torment nexus” way.

To be perfectly fair, saying “there’s nothing else to say” is a way stronger example of a thought terminating exercise. Yet here we both are.

In 2000, The Thirteenth Floor was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film but lost to The Matrix.

Yeah that’s a pretty good sell. I’ll check it out.

“Punctuation yes, emoji no” sounds like something a grade school teacher would have embroidered on a throw pillow.

Yes but you haven’t heard this guy’s mother saying it in her native accent. It really gets the blood flowing.

Dance off for hambe

🟥🟥🔵👷I guess were doing memes now.

Yeah you can bounce yourself while a second person also bounces you at the exact same and so you are double bounced.

Alternatively, you can roll up like an egg while two other people try to bounce you and crack the egg. If two bounces manage to launch you a the same time then that also gets called a double bounce.

Both approaches to being double bounced are absolutely terrifying because you’re feeling twice the force that you expected. So if you’re an emotionally dead adult nostalgically looking back to the last time you felt something then the terror of being double bounced is a good candidate.

Ten days since the last post we are all very scared for our vehicle poster.

Me talking to the autistic kid in the back of the daycare stacking blocks and enjoying it a lot: “Enjoy your block.”

The autistic kid:

n9d was not very memorable for me so I think I probably agree with your taste overall. if you’re really only going to read one more then I would make sure not to skip The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I think Ghostwritten is one of his earliest books and I think it really shows.

It’s really really interesting to imagine a different order to read these stories when you think about which little overlaps you would or would not be able to appreciate.

One of my favorite things about his books is that all his gimmicks with the overlapping characters and the horologist stuff doesn’t really matter all that much if the story is just otherwise also extremely well-written. so the “gimmicks” really do feel like a bonus and not like the main point.

I have loved all of David Mitchell’s books but Cloud Atlas was the perfect one that I started with that made me want to see everything else he read. I just love the structure of it so so much.

This is what me and my partner say to each other when we drink good coffee.

My understanding of hard water is just that there’s more calcium and magnesium ions than would otherwise be present in softer water. The varying degrees of hardness would just be the varying concentrations of these ions.

The way you experience as a human (as opposed to measuring this with a water probe) is that soap will form a complex with these ions and maybe precipitate out a little soap scum, and this reaction will happen at the same time as the reaction which complexes with any oils or dirt so it’ll effectively be wasting some of your soap and you will have to use more soap.

So you’ll be shampooing your hair and you’ll use the same amount as you used back in the soft water city and you’ll be thinking “I used the same amount of shampoo as I always do so why does my hair still feel oily?”

I have one of those articulated segmented hose things on my shower head so you can pick it up and move it around while it’s spraying and the whole thing gets all covered in limescale super fast because the hard water evaporates and precipates out the magnesium and calcium as calcite or aragonite crystals. I had never seen this happen so fast and it ruins the hose so often that I thought I was dealing with excessively hard water.
