Load More Replies...It saddens me to think there are people who would actually do that.
They voted for Trump. Who advocated bleach to cure Covid.
Load More Replies...I worked in a doughnut shop. The (solidified-- think Crisco) grease that we put in the fryer to fry the doughnuts comes in a plastic bag inside of a cardboard box. The person prepping the fryer uses a spatula looking thingy to scoop out the grease from the bag, then refastens the bag to keep the grease usable. In large letters, on every side of the box including the bottom, is the message: Remove Grease from Plastic Before Using.
Am I the only person who felt a bit queasy after reading this? Even the mere thought that someone could’ve been foolish enough to pour boiled water (still hot) into their eyes made my gut clench & my own eyes water a little bit … I mean, holy sh*t! 😨
Never in my life will I get tired of that picture.

Everything about this is perfect. The facial expressions, the sign, even the shirt is perfect.
I will never not smile at this photograph! I want to be friends with these two guys.
This would literally be the ONLY Bond movie in which Bond is an actual spy. In every single other Bond narrative, he's not a spy by any stretch of the imagination - he's a merc.
"I'm from Universal Exports" "Isn't that the company that constantly uses that guy Bond to ruin the plans of us supervillians? Who are you by the way?" "Bond, James Bond"......."Oh ok, maybe a different guy, come into my lair... I mean office, yea office"
Load More Replies...I just got mad for a moment that op spoiled the ending of the movie.
Stresses >>>> FRANCHISE!!!! Just think of the possibilities!!!! for a new Bond each featured and all new villains. I will dream of this for a week lol
Load More Replies...I dreamt they made a new Bond movie, and I was one of the former Bonds. Best unreality ever.
. But it must be: classic: Bond. Classy & Funny because we alllll know she can't be serious all the time, she would explode lol!!!
Load More Replies...Tumblr was launched in 2007 and was an almost immediate success. By 2013, it was purchased for 1.1 billion dollars by Yahoo! Inc., and during 2014, the site hit over 200 million blogs. It was known for being a slightly subversive space where everyone was welcome, so it’s no surprise that the site attracted some of the funniest and silliest people on the internet as well. And that’s why Antisocialduckling on Instagram has unlimited content. This page, which has amassed an impressive 233k followers, has shared 7,500 wholesome and hilarious screenshots from Tumblr, featuring some of the most brilliant interactions the site has ever seen.
We got in touch with the page’s creators, Mash, Bram and Jake, via Instagram, and they were kind enough to have a chat with us about how Antisocialduckling was born. “We saw other pages with a similar style and decided to make this page to post what makes us laugh,” they told Bored Panda. “And hopefully that makes someone else laugh.”
Same. Mine is thick AND curly. Back when I was young and my mom made me go to hairdressers, we'd never be able to get them to believe that you could NOT blow-dry my hair and you could NOT brush it out, you had to use a comb only, and you could only comb it out when it was wet, NOT dry. I have many recent photos of me looking like Cousin Itt and/or Gimli because I've combed out my hair while it was dry, for shíts and giggles. XD I've gone to work with it combed out into a giant poof. Good times. (Everyone with normal hair: "OMG you're so LUCKY! I wish my hair was like yours!" Me: "No. No, you do not.")
Load More Replies...My hair is currently at a stage between cackling in the woods around a cauldron and telling eleven year olds that they are magical.
I’m rocking weasel in an air blade hand dryer. Fine, flyaway, ginger and p*ssed off
So I'm a mix between a weasel dipped on grease and holy $%*& it's Hagrid?
Fortunately, I happen to have a Tumblr account, and I found out that OP replied to their post! They wrote, "...huh well, file this under ‘posts I really didn’t expect to get so popular’ not that anyone will reblog this version now, but for the record I live in Wokingham, in England, and the Wokingham station announcer guy deserves all the love and congratulations he’s getting, since he always brightens up the morning commute"
Load More Replies...There's a wonderful woman who drives trains on the northern line on the underground in London who does similar. She is on TikTok and so funny. A few other underground/ london stations do similar to this too, I was at Tottenham Court Road the other week on the Elizabeth line and the train was delayed due to a signal fault and the guy on the announcements was apparently saying some funny things as everyone was laughing and I was confused (I'm deaf so didn't hear what he was saying) until another passenger explained to me. Quite a regular occurrence on the underground/ london stations for funny announcements
Some metropolitan stations in Melbourne have someone on each platform with a mic and amp who announces the next train. They don't always seem to be there though, maybe just if centralised system is down or something. They add some random commentary at times, including updating footy scores I think I remember from Richmond station.
Do people following this technique form a click clique?
Load More Replies...She was also training everybody else to be happy, people were happy to hear the click without even knowing why she was happy
She also Pavlov trained the poster as they were happy every time they heard the clicker too.
That’s what I thought the last Tumblr comment was going to be!
Load More Replies...To stop worrying, put a rubber band on your wrist. Every time you have a worrying thought snap the rubber band to create a bit of pain and then tell yourself to stop worrying. After a few days (and hundreds of pain zings) your brain will calm down. You get to a point you do not even have to snap the rubber band because your brain will automatically recognize the worrying thought and cut it off. You will eventually have a minimum of worrying thoughts.
There’s no question that Antisocialduckling has made hundreds of thousands of people laugh. But one thing you might find interesting is that the creators of the page actually never were avid Tumblr users. They can still appreciate how unique the site is though. “It’s special because it's nonsensical and chaotic, which I relate to strongly,” one of the creators shared.
And as far as how they decide what to share with their followers, there are not a lot of strict rules involved in the process. “If it makes me laugh, I post it,” one creator told Bored Panda. But they did note that all of the posts they share are screenshots they took themselves, and if there is someone who can be credited, they are sure to tag them.
Summonus Chocolatus... Removus fattus... no that didn't work.....mirrorus destructus
How are spells created? Could they make their own, just by saying latin/greek words? Does it have to be latin/greek?
Friend, JK Rowling pulled the magical wizarding world out of her áss. I'm not sure she even has any idea or set "rules" in mind for how the spells are created in the HP world XD She probably just chose whatever sounded coolest/fanciest for each spell, with no regard to logic or the rules of Latin/language.
Load More Replies...Ok they should take latin/Greek classes though, it would probably increase the number of spells they are able to remember, and help them invent their own
Then Umbrage would've banned it for enabling students to get dangerously creative. Talk about a missed opportunity for a subplot.
Load More Replies...Hogwarts doesn't offer practical courses like math, science, languages, or auto repair because only muggles need to learn them. Who needs to know the laws of thermodynamics or how to speak another language when you can just magic a solution. If you can count to 5, then you are ready for any potion making class as no good wizard would require 6 of something as ingredients. Too much work.

When your boyfriend is ready to propose I hope he gives your rooster the ring and has the rooster bring it to you!
We also asked the creators of Antisocialduckling if they had any particular posts they’ve ever shared that were their favorites. “The little gif where Timmy the Ostrich runs in circles,” they shared. “Guy is just a little bit lost.” And as far as what the future holds, the creators say that they don’t have any specific plans yet. “We will just keep posting and see what happens!” If you’d like to follow along with all of their chaotic and hilarious posts, be sure to visit Antisocialduckling on Instagram right here!

Went to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry with my adult children, over Christmas. They had a display of Mold-a-rama's over the years, with an assortment of machines in the entire museum. Of course, we came back with several plastic molds... and COVID.
Makes me think of Big Bang where Sheldon says, "Amy says I can have 2 things from the gift shop".
The purchase dragon must have challenge coins and books from every museum I visit. And as a teenager who is obsessed with military history, I go to a lot of museums!
I have 3 of dragons inside me. One hoards knowledge, another memes, and then there's Jerry. He hoards EVERYTHING.

Load More Replies...Well, if I'd earn 200 k€ a year and was asekd to spend 10 % of that in order to help the poor, animals, nature or just found countermeasures against messing up our climate's state of inhabitability (and, along, our planet's state of inhabitability of course), I will be ok with that. If they asked for 20 %, but only the REALLY rich would have to pay that, and the less wealthy - think 50 k€ to 100 k€ a year or so - would pay a smaller fraction, I'd be even more ok, and if the fraction is even lower for those earning less, even ok'er. Whatever share one is obligated to give from their earnings to any kind of community and the expenses thereof, needs to be progressively larger with higher income, otherwise, we will either end up having not enough to fulfill any of the tasks, or we make those already struggling bear too much a share of the overall load. Taxing the rich is fine, the rich not being ok with that is what the problem's core is about - greed.
TRUE!! I play mariokart all the time and I've gotten so used to it I've gotten bored of the computer (even though I'm a*s at playing online). But 99% of the time when I'm in first, the item I get is a SINGULAR COIN
Hang on. Hang on!!!!! WHERES ZARA????!!!! Zara!!!! ZARA!!!!! Oh god, oh god oh god. Where's Zara? Is she that squid?
My class was given the assignment of 'write what you learned at out trip to the police station'. I wrote a short story about a burglary. This included all sorts of forensic details, canvasing neighbours, etc. My teacher didn't know what to do with this. She showed the story to my Mam, also a teacher at that school. My Mam shrugged her shoulders and said, "You got what you asked for. Perhaps be a bit more specific in what you actually want."
The attention to detail is impressive! Sounds like your Mam is a sensible woman. What grade did you get for it?
Load More Replies...Instant friends with whoever that is, that sounds awesome lmao
The American version of “Squid Games” somehow sounds more disturbing than the original.
Ask anyone who was addicted to Tumblr in 2014, and they’ll tell you the site changed the landscape of the internet. It was a pioneer, and nowadays, it’s easy to forget how much of a trendsetter Tumblr was. But lucky for us, Jess Joho at Mashable wrote a piece exploring this topic to ensure we all remember. The first way in which Joho says Tumblr changed the internet is how it provided a safe place for women, queer folks and “kinksters” to explore their sexuality. “The Tumblr dashboard was one of the only places to see sex viewed through a primarily female gaze, to see what women liked to look at and not just hardcore [content] filmed for male pleasure," says Rachelle Hampton, Tumblr scholar and co-host of the ICYMI podcast.

Idgaf what people think, getting handed that controller is terrifying! How long does it take to pee?! (Obviously, I haven't gamed since I rented Extreme-G from Blockbuster. Now, I just watch and keep a regular heart rate).

Ah Susie Dent and for those who have seen '8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown' will probably know what she is looking in to next....
I'm choking on my laughter right now because my favorite coworker is Francois and we're in Texas, and it's actually hilarious watching his face when he's talking to someone and you know he's thinking "what the hell is going on in these Americans heads?!'
The dichotomy behind personal space is fascinating to me. Americans want physical space around them, whereas most of the rest of the word seemingly want mental space - as in, "if you don't know me, please don't greet me." Please correct me if I'm reading that wrong.
The proper distance when talking to another person varies by country. I recall reading that in Canada it’s about 1.2 meters and in some Arab countries as little as 0.6 meters. So when a Canadian and Arab talk you may see the pair moving as the Canadian walks backwards to increase the distance.
Load More Replies...The look on a Brit's face when he orders French dressing in a US steakhouse. Real memory for me. Also trying to get him a "proper" cup of hot tea in Texas. Thank you, waiter who put the saucer on top of the tea mug to imitate a teapot.
Hot tea? Did you really need to specify that? A 'proper cup of tea' is always going to be hot anyway.
Load More Replies...Ice in your water for some reason? I get that you don’t like it, but can you really not figure out that it’s there to make the water cold. “For some reason”?
Who is serving room temperature beverages with only ice to cool it down?
Load More Replies...My family is French, but we live in California and I can confirm it can be hilarious seeing my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins in various situations when they come to visit.
American here: here’s a hug, a high five, and we’ll share some beer. It’s cold beer, here. Gotta prep ya for that. I would watch this.
I always ask before I hug anyone. Consent is sēxy and needs to be universal. I even ask my sister's kids before I hug them. If they say no, I'll drop it. That's just me, though.
I also ask before I hug anyone. Sometimes I just don't want to be touched at all and when I've said no to family bugging me I've been told to suck it up. Once I cried because someone hugged me after I said no. Like please don't touch me when I'm not expecting it. I'm only okay with like two people touching me
Load More Replies...i should go to america and film it, call it “Dmitryy in the Midwest”
Must be a regional thing, because no one in New England will hug you out of nowhere.
My thoughts as well, except I'm in Oklahoma. However, my ex was military and so are both my boys, so I've lived and been quite a few places all over the US. I have never been randomly hugged by anyone and I am very much a people person/social butterfly.
Load More Replies...Just tell us the what, we don't care the why! Here's ten hail Marys now fck off!
Or don't go to confession. Literally nothing in the bible refers to any ritual like confession. Made up by the Catholic Church as a way to wield power.
Every single Catholic I know has told me the same story about the terror of confession when they were a child, how they didn't know what to say and so just made stuff up. Weird, weird religion.
Yes! Me too lol, I always exaggerated my sins. I lost my faith, aged 14, when the priest slapped a child (aged about 3) for playing with a toy gun during mass. Obviously, it was not the child's fault, it was the parents' inappropriate decision to allow the toy gun. I hate guns in any shape or form, but to slap a child for the toy? Disgustingly hipocritical 😡😡😡
Load More Replies...I confess, I like to break the rules. Short story long, it all started back in the womb....
Because exactly what will confession achieve aside from gossip, control and blackmail leverage over a dumb population when they realise you're abusing the alter boy.
Yep! Only the what; not the when or the where; preferably not the why or the how much; and definitely not the how
I'm not Catholic but in my church we do something like if you want to confess a sin because it's nagging you and your conscience, you can confess to a deacon or pastor and if you want, they will pray for you. You don't have to do it obviously but I think it's kind of helpful to have someone to have someone to talk to.
That was probably the origin of this ridiculous rule
Load More Replies...Tumblr was also a trendsetter in the way that it wove social justice discourse into internet youth culture. “Whether you know it or not, you likely learned words like ‘problematic’ thanks to Tumblr,” Joho explains. Popular blogs dissected issues like feminism and systemic racism in ways that were easy for youth to understand. “Tumblr changed online discourse forever by mainstreaming and distilling these complex socio-political theories into meme-able concepts accessible to young people who want to make the world a better place,” Joho continued.
Shoulda topped it off with the class yelling in unison, "SWIPER NO SWIPING!"
My late husband would have loved this. He kept getting tossed out of school for pranks like the time the Spanish teacher was called down to the office, and when she came back, she found the class seated in their correct spots but on the floor - they had put the desks and chairs out through the windows.
is that what american highschools look like?! respect to you guys holy s**t i could not be learning gradients in that
We used to all silently pick up our desks and move them forward a few inches each time our teacher turned to write on the blackboard. I am so sorry mr wilson.
Makes me question the ones that were clearly generous yet still a sight that would scare small children 😅
The phrase, "Warts, and all" is said to originate from Oliver Cromwell, when he commissioned a portrait from the artist, Peter Lely, and instructed him to, "portray him as he truly was, without concealing his blemishes. Warts, and all."
I was going to say photoshop but without the weird angles and shadows.
Load More Replies...It also eventually caused skin sores and lesions, hair loss, insomnia, weight loss, and death 💀 in some cases.
Load More Replies...Actually... the people who were able to afford portraits usually hat about the same amount of sugarconsumation as a regular Amerian nowadays. Only a lot more voluntary.
Load More Replies...They don’t bother to hide those.
Load More Replies...Awesome facial cleanser called “ how the #*#)& do I draw pimples”
I had acne into my adult years. Turns out it was all caused by my sugar consumption. I quit sugary foods and my acne was gone in three months. Apparently a diet high in sugar promotes bacterial growth. So back in the dark ages, they did not have processed sugar added to most food they ate.
But they did have bubonic plague that would have more than compensated for it 😉
Load More Replies...True. Henry VIII proposed to Anne of Cleves on the strength of her portrait and had the marriage annulled when he saw her in the flesh.
Oliver Cromwell was one of the exceptions, he told the artist that did his portrait not to change anything but to present him as he is "Warts and all!"
I once thought I saw my coworker (who had a blonde bob hairstyle,) from across the store and shouted, "Hey, Sandy!" It was a lamp.
There is a Christmas wreath hanging in the hallway (I leave Christmas decorations up all year, it's my favorite holiday and it makes my house my happy place). The number of times I mistook that wreath for my ex standing in the hall, back when we were still together... XD I used to call out to him using a pet name thinking the wreath was him. You are not alone. XD
Load More Replies...If someone assumed I were a trashcan I would just be like I’m not a trashcan I am the trash.
This is like life with my black cat. He's just a shadow so 90% of the "cats" I see in my house aren't him. I can't tell you how many times I've told him "hey" and realized I was talking to a shirt or a blanket.
Had a suit of armor at the top of stairways, almost died when I thought there was a strange man in my appt in the middle of the night.
This and the similar situations mentioned in the comments, prove that there is a system's glitch in the Matrix.
Unlike many other social media sites, where having anonymous profiles often harbors hate and inappropriate content, Joho says that being anonymous on Tumblr made the site a much more welcoming space. “Tumblr's anonymity gave its young users permission to build online identities without needing to offer up any of their IRL selves for the internet's ridicule,” she writes. “Unlike TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter, Tumblr was the one social networking platform where you could gain thousands of followers without ever revealing your face, name, age, gender, location, school, job, or any other personal details. That's probably a big reason why it was such a safe haven for the marginalized, too, as closeted queers found welcoming online homes that let them escape IRL homophobic households.”

Doesn't make sense, surely islands on New Zealand territory are still part of New Zealand so still have to adhere to their law? Great story though, and I love the inspector's response.
When you wanted to be on the Cheer Squad, but you live in Small Town, USA.
so in middle school a boy the year behind me wanted to try out for cheer and the school literally said no and said he could be the mascot. He took up the roll but everyone else was mad, hence why I know this even happened
Load More Replies...Wonder who put that horrible song on there like someone else did it to embarrass me when it comes on.
I do this all the time. I spend more time saying "Alexa - next" than I do listening to music.
I just added about 10 songs and I put it on shuffle. It plays everything but my new songs for over an hour. Couldn't find my new songs for a couple days.
Tumblr also rejected the idea of monetizing social media or promoting influencers. “As a group of proto anti-capitalists before anti-capitalism was cool, the Tumblr community remains adamant about keeping monetization off the platform. That probably contributed to Tumblr's shorter lifespan, but it's a hill the platform's survivors are absolutely willing to die on,” Joho writes.

Load More Replies...Good to know that ridiculous English class overanalysis is universal and non-time dependent
I was an English/Creative Writing major. I love reading. I read everything and anything. I had a poetry analysis class that literally destroyed my love of poetry because the teacher was so insanely pedantic and obtuse. He would take even the most literal poems (think "The Purple Cow" by Gelett Burgess) and nitpick them into pieces trying to pretend there was all this nonexistent symbolism in them. I don't read poetry any more XD
Load More Replies...To be fair, I did have a teacher tell us that everyone can get different meaning from one writing.
Author read an analysis of his work, and the English teacher was coming up with all sorts of symbolism. The author write to the the newspaper and said it didn't mean anything of the sort, and there was no hidden meaning. The English teacher replied is was obviously subconscious, because it WAS there. Yeah... who do I believe, the author or the over analysis person?!
Honestly, the English Teacher. It's like a Rorschach test. Just cause I draw a cigar, as a cigar, doesn't mean someone else can't see something else, so I believe the teacher saw something, whether it was intended or not... But yeah, I hate when people insist on symbolism being there for anyone but themselves.
Load More Replies...I had to draw a graphic for my school and I didn’t feel like drawing the faces so I didn’t and just made them liek mannequins and the principal was like wow it’s like you can see yourself as them, so deep. Nah I just didn’t have the time or motivation to draw faces lmao
Same, but with art class back in the day. I don't remember the exact point of the assignment, but one of my highlights was when I made something simple and s****y in Mondriaan style, and I used felt tips instead of paint because I couldn't be arsed to get all the painting equipment out. My profound BS explanation was that "it symbolizes how Mondriaan's work is basically kindergarten work". As I said, I don't remember the exact point of the assigment, but it did qualify and fit right in, and I got a really good grade. XD
Load More Replies...Reminds me of a time many moons ago in high school art class, we had a sub for a class bc our regular teacher was sick and she gave us a task to just draw whatever and one smart*ss from our class proceeded to draw the most hilarious drawing of Donald duck, with his left hand (he's right handed) and in the next class the regular teacher came back and made sure to make an elaborate analysis on his "work of art" in all seriousness. She one upped him and he never pulled a similar stunt with her since then...
Reminds me of how the projector wasn’t working and was just displaying a blue screen. We spent the first 10 min using the post-modernist lens to interpret the meaning behind the blue screen lol
I have a funny question but did you ever have those projectors in school that had those pens that you would have to calibrate by clicking each spot with the x? I remember having them in elementary and intermediate school but they suddenly disappeared and I haven't seen one since

Load More Replies...Wait until you find out about the camels that migrate by clinging to floating coconuts.
Nope, people transport coconuts. Thor Heyerdahl during the Kon-Tiki expedition proved conclusively that coconuts do not remain viable for very long when soaking in salt water.
Yes much more likely that they were brought by humans. Considering coconuts have existed for millions of years why would they only have arrived in the last 500 years.
Load More Replies...Tumblr was also the go-to place for many fandoms to thrive. “Fandom Tumblr liked to define itself, to a certain extent, in opposition to other Tumblr communities," Palmer Haasch, an Insider entertainment reporter, told Mashable. "There was a dichotomy that users kind of reinforced between the 'fandom' side of Tumblr and other, like, 'aesthetic' sides. But it was more so this dynamic where...fandom Tumblr was preemptively like 'even if you think we’re cringe, we don’t care and we’re gonna fan out harder."
Telling her she's already had 3 meals today and the vet says she's tubby so no mo grubby
I love you. You just made my day. I just snorted laughter at 5am and woke both of my cats. One of mine is overweight because we free-fed him when he had FIP as a kitten (he survived, yay!) He's still on a diet; he is ALMOST at his goal weight, but he is SO HANGRY 24/7. I am going to tell him he is "tubby so no mo grubby" from now on. Thank you. XD

inside hands omg that's amazing i want to learn sign language, so if i ever mad at someone i just start signing FURIOUSLY, as if I'm some translator at a rapper's concert, but no one will have NO IDEA what I'm saying 😝
It's pretty easy to learn the basics at least, but when you get to the more detailed stuff it's harder.

Uh, not to be THAT person, but... your uncle's mother would be your grandma, not your great-aunt.
eh names vary between families. My mom's aunt I call my aunt as well even tho I have an actual aunt that's my mom's sister

In American Sign Language, in university, we were split into pairs to practice basic communication. I asked if he liked his major. He signs, "I'm hard." I paused before bursting into laughter, and then he realized what he had done. We couldn't stop laughing, so I left the class early. Absolutely 😂
Just... casually... turn off the light. No more fighting! ANd when they try to sign at you say "can't hear you" 😂
how can your comment be even better than the post itself
Load More Replies...Even more annoying when the person dialing turns up their volume or puts it on speaker phone. The it could take a darker twist!
this would be better if there were like 20 people in the room, and they all stopped just to listen for the buzzing noise. true friends
PSA: everyone who ever comes into physical contact with a bat please get a rabies shot even if you think you didn't get hurt. Rabies is nightmare fuel so you can never be to certain.
Load More Replies...Sadly, this bat is actually in distress. Bats can't fly unless they drop from a high area first. Unlike birds, they can't launch from the ground and need the fall to get started. This bat is likely very much trying to reach a place he can use to get back in the air.
Aww... I made a joke, but I would scoop him or her up in real life. I can't stand suffering.

Load More Replies...I'm fairly sure I've told this story before, but anyway... When he was 8 my brother came home from school and confidently announced to mum that "gullible isn't in the dictionary". Mum, being the innocent soul she is, fetched the book in question to show him. She didn't want him to be made fun of - quite ignoring the fact he had the grin of Satan on his face and knew *exactly* what he was doing. When he was 10, he came home from school and confidently announced the same thing. Mum, apparently learning less than her children in two years, fetched the book again....
Is she that innocent or just a master manipulator? One of the best ways to deal with kids questions that are setting you up is to answer them as legitimate questions. Then the kid can either accept the answer or they get stuck with having to explain that it was meant to be a joke but fell flat.

My History Teacher that put the entire final exam, with answers!!!, on the bulletin board, two weeks ahead of the test. No one even noticed
Load More Replies...Really smart, smart a*s student, point of order historical facts are written by the victors, how do you check the losing sides version?
So students should never believe what any teacher tells them? They should spend the rest of the day doing research to check that their teachers are honest and accurate? And they are probably going to use the internet for that research, which as we all know is so truthful.
I bet most teachers would love it if the students spent all day doing research into the accuracy of the information they are taught, provided that the students understand the varying quality of the sources of information that they are using.

I was just wishing this morning that mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard could be sold in tubes like toothpaste, not these stupid squeeze bottles that sadistically won't let you have the last little bit of the particular product.

People always say when they see pics of rare phenomena like this, 'oh, I would love to see something like this in real life.' We both know if you saw this in real life you'd be wrapping tin foil round your head and hiding in the closet, Tonya.

I'm wanting a cake now, this moment. So if this is still on the internet in the future when time travel is possible someone please take note 14:56 Saturday 25th March 2023
but... what if the reason nobody's coming is because you destroyed the future?
"I'm thinking of committing several brutal murders. What's that? No one has come to stop me? Guess it's okay then."
Such a bad decision that you destroyed the future before time machines were invented?
The Time Tunnel? I've only seen it like once, and it was years ago....I think that's the name 😬🤞
Load More Replies...Call back to that time me and my friend mistakes platonic attraction for romantic attraction and accidentally dated for nine months and became absolute super friends but never kissed
I need genuine help on how to tell romantic from platonic love. I can literally never tell when I love someone or if I just like them as a friend. I don't really know if this has anything to do with the post and I know I'm probably wasting you guys time but if anyone can help that would be great.
Do you feel a twist in your stomach when you look at them? Do you want them to pay attention to you, to focus on you? When you imagine putting your arm around them or vice versa, does it feel exciting? All those things are generally signs of romantic attraction. Some people will say “well do you want to kiss them? Sleep with them?” but for many people, they need time to know the person better before they feel stirrings like that. I will say though that if the thought of sleeping with them makes you feel ill, that is a good sign to keep it platonic.
Load More Replies...99% of our friendships are platonic. Enjoy and appreciate the person. The rush to find a romantic relationship is destructive. It's so much less stress to just forget that whole side of things and just like people for being people. If it happens it happens, you'll know, if you don't know, then it's not, or the relationship has not progressed to that point yet. Chill.
I think I might be attracted to a girl in my class but I can’t tell what kind of attraction it is. Is it platonic, romantic or other? I can’t tell at all
HA HA HA!! Yes!! I’m storing this one for later, it’s fantastic!
Wait, shouldn't it be silent if it's an anti- thunderstorm? Far more terrifying if you were going about ypur life during the day, and it suddenly got pitch black & completely soundless.

I feel that. Our old chemistry teacher was veeeery energetic and would regularely drop to the floor or dramatically hold on to the shelves when we didnt know what to say. Dude was amazing as most of our chemistry teachers were.
Yesterday I tried to get my third graders to translate 'my favourite' into Polish and my example is always 'my favourite colour is pink' while holding my pink water bottle. First graders can guess the meaning at the start of the school year, but those third graders just stared at me. Oh, boy.
...at least you didn't have to suddenly emotionally support that teacher because they out loud said they were gonna kill themself.
Not true. he was bursting for a pee, and the nearest bathroom was 3 corridors away.
I misread at first and thought they were telling Dorothy L Sayers said, “okay cool”.
It makes sense that it's real because Gaudy Night involves the narrator returning to her Oxbridge college (yes I can't remember which university so I'm being inclusive) so she is reflecting on change and both universities have rivers, presumably with ducks.

My friends and I did this too. Has to be a common thing for young people. We also posed like we were dead, usually draped awkwardly off of furniture.
As a kid I saw a bunch of young guys doing the latter pose. It turned out they were all just really really hungover.
Load More Replies...People without heads are common once you gain access to higher level executives.
Brought to you by the same lot that took pictures of dead family members (memento mori) often babies posing them as if they were stiill alive
That one has more to do with people wanting at least one photo to remember their dead children and not having one from when they were alive, because it's hard to make kids stay still long enough for the photography of the time and it wasn't cheap either

Load More Replies...okay but for real does anyone feel like water has a sweet taste when you're really thirsty? just me? okay
Of course you can taste water. The first mistake is believing it doesn't have a taste.
Wait what, is it not normal to taste different kinds of waters differently?
Idk. But I was taught somewhere that real, pure water had no flavor/taste, and what we perceive as "water flavor" is just whatever minerals and whatnot that haven't been filtered out. TIL it's just that we don't have the correct taste buds for water? Mind blown 🤯

Yep. I was adopted at birth into a Hispanic family, so I'm fluent in Spanish and English. I dated my ex (who is Chinese) for 22 years and while I got to the point where I could understand a good bit of Mandarin, there is NO HECKIN' WAY I was capable of training my mouth to actually recreate the phonemes of Mandarin.

Excellent comment: "'The Monkey's Paw curls' is a standard reaction phrase these days meaning 'Sure, you'll get what you wish, but something else much more horrible will happen because of it'."

In the Netherlands we call this a "Lieveheersbeestje" Which are actually 3 words. Which roughly translates to: Love rule critter.... Sometimes I hate my own language
That's just because you're misinterpreting the word. 'heers' does not refer to 'heersen' (rule) but to 'heer' (lord), and the 's' refers to possession. Thinks of it as lieve-heer-zijn-beestje: dear lord's little animal (or critter, if you prefer). Basically God's animal, isn't that a cute name?

May soon be at eternal peace in the abandoned grain silo if it still has grain. (Complimentary public service announcement on the shockingly dangerous places that are grain silos. They should have used grain instead of quicksand in all those tv shows some of us grew up on.)
When I was a teen I watched an episode of an Australian medical drama where someone fell into a grain silo. Horrific! Then I saw an Irish series where characters were purposely jumping into a silo!
Fun Fact: Grain silos are explosive. Grain dust in the air is flammable, and if enough collects inside the silo, an ignition will cause it to explode. This is known as an FAE (Fuel Air Explosion)
Some major explosions have resulted from faulty equipment lighting grain dust
