What's with the censoring? Now I don't know if they were injected with a ding, dang or some dung

Relationship goals. ❤️

Hope he got a refund on the book.

OK, this is amazing.

How long before the orange one decides shipping people he doesn't like off to a camp in another country is too expensive and he just has ice lining people up in a horrific repeat of history.

Deep sigh ... I miss those prices along with standing in line overnight to get them!

I usually don't wear earrings. I might have to reevaluate that decision.

"My cat is a foot and a half in length and about six inches in height. When he curls up he is very small, looking like a black millet berry, but when he stretches out he is long, resembling a drawn bow. The pupils of his eyes sparkle, dazzlingly bright like shiny needles flashing with light, while the points of his ears stick straight up, unwaveringly, looking like the bowl of a spoon." - https://diariesofnote.com/2023/03/11/like-a-black-dragon-above-the-clouds/

WHAT A CUTIE AWWW

can we bring that back?

I guess this "fact" depends on how "traditional" you want that igloo to be. Some facts about the arctic. There are no trees from which to collect wood to build a fire. If you were an Inuit living prior to modern conditions, you would have collected seal, whale, and fish oil for burning. These were sacred though, and wouldn't be collected in large enough amounts for actual fires. Instead they were used to provide light to the interior. Most meat was consumed raw. Traditional Igloos were small, and are well insulated, but they were heated by the body heat of the people inside, not by fires. A hole was cut into the roof to let air flow in. Hot air would rise out of the hole at the top, and pull in air through the door. Otherwise the people inside would run out of oxygen. This was not for smoke. Modern igloos are much larger than traditional ones, and a small fire inside a large structure won't melt it very fast. If the structure is too small the ceiling will drip, and that would be deadly

Boss "You're still coming in though, right?"

I wish there was a banana for scale. Can't imagine the actual size of this beauty

1956 was when it was banned for under-14s, but that's not to say that it was routinely served up to young children, just that there was no law against it until then.

Michel and Nadine Vaujour, who are now published authors, were arrested 4 months later, he was sentenced to an additional 16 years (he was caught during a robbery) and she was sentenced to 2 years in prison. He was one of the most wanted criminals in France for a while and was detained in the Prison de la Santé, one of the most secure in France.

He's just enjoying watching the human's feeding time.
