Almost as believable as cows giving milk just for humans! Hahaha…

Except cows aren't that smart.

Some use that as a way to get clicks/likes via sympathy.

Right I was think it was some good critical thinking for a kid.

Yeah, I grew up around a "biker gang.". Oh no, there they go on their poker run for charity, everyone hide...I heard just as many dorky dad jokes from them as I did any of my classmates' dad's.

In Australia there’s a big difference between someone who rides a bike (biker) and one who is a member of a bikie gang.

Living in a rural, quiet little village has its downsides. The area is very popular by bikers, so at any nice, sunny day it is impossible to enjoy the cafés or the rural roads. It is impossible to have a conversation. Dozens flock in, with a competition going on who can race the hardest and loudest, including the historic centre. The noise carries miles, obviously the idea is that everybody in the county should pay attention to them. When asked to dim a bit and have some respect for other people's home and let them enjoy their off time, you get threatened and bullied. The most smart thing one of these hollowheads said to me: "Go live in the remote countryside if you don't like it". Dude, I DO live in the remote countryside, it is YOU who is forcing your noise on us. Keep your noise at your place and terrorize your own neighbourhood. Many roads are closed for bike traffic now. It is sad for the normal bikers who use their bike as means of transport and don't tamper with the exhaust.

If you want a good happy cry, look up, "Bikers Against Child Abuse," on YouTube.

my dad's best friend was in the hell's angels... ventura county Ca. i grew up with those guys... i loved those freaks. they're a lot of fun and they were big goofballs with us kids.

You are kind of glossing over the real crime associated with some biker gangs. A gang that had a local presence near me was the Banditos. Including their national president. He and a couple of dozen others got indicted a number of years ago for a laundry list of crimes including stolen motorcycles and parts, kidnapping, drug dealing, illegal firearms, racketeering and a few other things. A local Harley Davidson dealer shut down because it was largely them. And sadly, so did an excellent burrito place named after them. Did they harass old ladies and stomp on puppies in public? No. But they did commit serious crimes in my area. In an unrelated situation, one of their members got arrested for plotting to blow up the homes of some rivals. I would not want to live next door to one of the victims getting blown up. Your dad may be a great person and of course not all bikers are 'bad'. But the ones who are are the reason "those who aren't bikers" have a certain image of them.

Ignorance. You don't know how people are until you speak to them.

You "brought" the house? From where?

You're afraid of bikers? Meet the nanna!

So. True.

Not true. I wanted to be poor, depressed and lonely even when I was a kid. Mostly because I already was as a kid, and I don't like change.

With "I have read and understood all the terms and conditions" in a very close second.

Not really. There is a way. It requires people to not give up on their dreams and ha e the hunger to do what it takes to get it. I know many who achieved this and none of them were rich when they started.

Dodged that (animated) bullet.

I had a similar idea. But further information on the job and the company let me know I'd never like working there 😉

That should definitely be a career option.

Don’t give up on mankind yet! 🙏🏻💕

Cute, but rivals everywhere! Worse than a real royal extended family

I’m forty and ready to fork over money.

Not even for mass marketing - like hyperdinension Neptunia style, that would be cool, the concept I mean not so much the bouncing boobehs. (All characters are based on being an xbox, sega etc but in human form that battle aliens, Japan right :) ).

Ginger, posh, baby, sporty, scary, and six guys named herb

I meant the UK *doesn't have some of those restaurants

What's funny is that this was told to my great grandfather, who actually managed to catch a crow. Parents were shocked, and he couldn't keep it in the end!

Yup. My mom would give all 3 of us a salt shaker and tell us we could keep the bird.

same

My grandmother had me believing she talked to birds.

They actually catch them?

Omg, this infuriates me!!! One of the reasons I despise children and just people in general.
