A thermometer is like if we measured speed by crashing a car into a barrier and gauging how much it made the barrier shake.

It’s because the US doesn’t do secret trials. By default, everything in the courtroom is open to the public. An open, transparent justice system works really well in a functional democracy, but it’s going to seem hopelessly naïve in our current proto-facist hellscape.

Human anatomy: you’re technically always licking it. And now you’re aware of it. Your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Touching your teeth.

156 movies!? That’s like 3 per year since the ‘70s! That motherfucker works hard.

Parrots are definitely capable of using human words and phrases in context. Stuff like “bye bye” when someone leaves a room, or “want some water?” when they see you drinking from a glass and want to have a taste. Attaching sounds to concepts and using them to communicate those concepts seems like basic language stuff to me!

You don’t exterminate mosquitoes because they are evil, you get rid of them because they are parasites, unable to exist without feeding on you and your loved ones. They are disease vectors, it’s us or them.

The royal family feeds into hierarchical structures. They benefit from our subjugation. They knowingly and intentionally contribute to death and misery worldwide for their own benefit. If Charles was a decent man he’d abdicate.

Why the fuck would anyone want to ban medical emergency abortions? How would any sane person think this is a moral stance? The only goal is to kill women. How is this a mainstream political party’s stance?

Just declare open season on women already. Jesus Christ these people are fucking sick.

Somerton, not Somerset.

We had a local grocery chain get bought out by whole foods (before it was amazon). They went from 80% bullshit homeopathic vitamin shit and 20% old rotting produce to stores with actual (if overpriced) food. I’m sure the local vegans and crystal mommies were sad, but I thought it was a huge improvement.

Partyparrot. I just want to see more videos and photos of birds having a good time.

Like this guy.

I have so many questions.

Are they surgically implanting the pizza into the patient’s little rat belly?

Or just taking a pizza break in the middle of surgery?

Is this a delivery room and momma rat is hungry?

How did he get this job anyway? Is he a diversity hire? I cant imagine he’s very good at handling those tiny tools.

Are the ears part of the uniform? Or is he posing as a rat? Are the ratdoctors just too polite to call him out for being gigantic and definitely not a real rat?
