Man. Joe has dysentery real bad, someone should take care of him. Wtf wants to nurse a guy through dysentery? No one that’s the problem! Wait, don’t we have a baboon around here?

Me too, so is my kid and she is a real smart kid. She feels like she is dumb sometimes because she isn't good at maths and science, but I have explained to her that there are lots of kinds of intelligence. She is great at art and creative writing; I was the same as a kid but nobody ever told me I was smart xD
Load More Replies...Life as an adult has stressed me out so much, I don't know how to daydream anymore 😢
Do you read much? Might help (Not sarcasm, genuinely may help)

Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.” Paraphrased from ― T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph

It can be an issue when you're working a job where you're needed right away at any point and need to communicate with others. You get so lost in your mind and then if you're not paying attention to little details you could end up making a hassle of a mistake.
Me: I'm such a daydreamer! I bet I'm so smart! Also me, trying to do math: Help I forgot what a square looks like
Me lol. This ans the forgetfulness ig I'm just f*****g Einstein at this point but I don't know how that helps me find the car keys
That's actually not surprising to me. The main way radiation kills living organisms is via DNA Damage. The most susceptible is DNA being decoded, as unused DNA is curled up and will less likely be damaged by radiation. The faster stuff grows the more susceptible to radiation damage (that's why radiating tumors works). As a bonsai is by design being kept withing very strict growing boundaries it has a much higher chance of surviving radiation than a normal growing counterpart. Plus fact: there is a bacterial species called Deinococcus radiodurans which as you may have guessed ist extremely durable towards radiation, they do this via very good DNA repair mechanism but also low metabolism and division rates.
Y’all this is really random but it’s 11:11 and it’s also almost Christmas. So I guess make a wish
Guilty as charged. But there has been so many deaths in my life this year.

A $50 bet, per Snopes. For the curious, here is a list of the 50 words that appear in Green Eggs and Ham: a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, you.
Aside from the hypothesis being 80 years old, little dogs living half this, and chickens also being an outlier - us having longer lifespans than 35 years is nothing to do with modern stuff. People historically lived to 60/80/90, General Cao Cao was 65 when he died in the 3rd century of a brain tumour. Lif expectancy was lower in the past but that was because of the high infant mortality rate bringing the number down, not people dropping dead in their 30s.
But, we all knew it was the genie. He's even obviously voiced by Robin Williams, the voice of the genie.
I've spent my kid's entire childhood telling other parents this, they all just think I'm an idiot. Oh well.
