My Workplace Decided To Wash All Our Legos Today
Ok, backstory here, I work at a place that is best described as a Lego museum (we have a ton of other interesting brands, like ones that can light up when you stack them or ones that just look like paper, but eh, Lego, right?). We found 7 huge unidentifiable boxes in our warehouse last week, filled to the brim with (what else could it be but) Lego.
Thus began our long journey of washing all said Legos. We're currently on box number 2, and this isn't even a quarter of it. I see no light at the end of the tunnel. If a stairway to hell exists, it must be inlaid with unwashed Legos.

At The Post Office Where I Work, Someone Mailed A Bunch Of Bees
UnclePanda 10 months ago
That's a standard unit of about 10,000 bees. Inside is a tinier cage with a young queen bee in it, with an escape hole filled with packed marshmallow or equivalent. By the time the 'plug' is eaten, she's ready for the hive and her role in it. The entire time, her cage is surrounded by dedicated attendants who somehow manage to look worried about their charge.

Sally Moen 10 months ago (edited)
Probably a western US state. There were so many rushed to discover minerals over the years, with so many places dug up with little produced, and then the mines abandoned. Copper, gold, silver, lead, coal...there are others I can think of
