I find it inspiring that an animal changed its physiology to be a better *******.

Someday when you have a big boy job and wake up before the roosters :D Then you can go blast ICP in their coops for revenge.

I can just move in next to you and buy some neighbor hater speakers.

When I buy my house next year I'll build you a shed with internet and air conditioning, but you have to shovel the driveway when it snows.

I will literally accept this but since it's New Jersey you have to throw in central heating. I'll even get my water from a well and poop in the woods.

til there is such a thing as alpaca hot dogs

"Hey, what should we bring with us on our hike in the Andes?"

"I'll pack a hot dog."

stahp it

*begrudgingly nods head in approval*

Bill Clinton is a Peter Brötzmann fan.

link?

So do his blowjob, making Congress look like gossipy pervs, and free jazz cool points counteract his wife and the rest of his presidency?

TIL two important things: one, that there's an actual trick to sawing a woman in half and two, that despite what they say, Gorilla Glue does not stick everything back together! :yikes:

Its been an on going lesson but as of late I've been learning how not to be nice. People are generally undeserving and ****ty.

I'm 80% sure why I want to punch you for posting this.

I'm not entirely sure what you're on about but I'm sure it's something that should be on a motivational poster for losers.

I'm nice to people and it's worth it. Maybe people around here are just nicer. Or maybe some of you guys are just too cynical.

Maybe everyone is secretly laughing at you.

The guy who wrote "Amazing Grace" was such a potty mouth that his captain disciplined him for making up his own vulgarities to go above and beyond the filth lexicon.

It contributes to a positive society.

Cashiering isn't all that bad unless youre a miserable person to begin with or your boss makes it miserable.

**** having to interact with strangers all day.

Ha! Politeness is a HOAX

A general trend of not being a dick to people without provocation, I'm guessing.

A homogeneous society sounds bad in either direction.

What DwnWthWvls said. And people are nice to me if I'm nice to them, so it's win-win.

TIL that fallout 76 will not be on steam. Instead Bethesda is releasing a launcher for Fallout 76. Fine wit me. Hopefully they do allow for some connection to Steam through their launcher. I like being able to track hours. Maybe the launcher will have that anyway.

The collective actions of our population dictate, in part, the reality we face. Youre boring.

Im nice to people because I want other people to be nice to each other and recognize their role as a cog in the machine. If you dont want to be a cog then **** off and dont rely on the machine.

I have been getting really into the world of animalia lately for some reason.

TIL The Virginia opossum is the only native marsupial in North America.

TIL that it's illegal to sell unlabeled water bottles.

TIL Benjamin Franklin attempted to achieve perfect morality, failed, but in failure found catharsis toward the human condition.

"My intention being to acquire the habitude of all these virtues, I judg'd it would be well not to distract
my attention by attempting the whole at once, but to fix it on one of them at a time; and, when I should
be master of that, then to proceed to another, and so on, till I should have gone thro' the thirteen; and,
as the previous acquisition of some might facilitate the acquisition of certain others, I arrang'd them
with that view, as they stand above.

These names of virtues, with their precepts, were:
1. Temperance. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. Order. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. Resolution. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. Industry. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. Moderation. Avoid extreams; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. Cleanliness. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.
11. Tranquillity. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dulness, weakness, or the injury
of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. Humility. Imitate Jesus and Socrates."

Pretty boring guy.

When I was a child we used to go fishing at a pond. The owners of the pond sold unlabelled water bottles that were pierced and entwined with a length of fishing wire threaded by a hook at its end. I wonder if this would be illegal or if the bottle would have to be sold with the intention that it be used to drink out of.

If it wasn't allowed, I'm sure a great lawyer could find a way to categorize the line and hook as a label.

Nice

Ah I think I saw this on Cracked a few years ago.

Edit: found the link http://www.cracked.com/article_20364...-perverts.html

The human kidney creates urine that's less salty than salt water, so if you drink salt water, your body has to expel more liquid than you drank, thus dehydrating and killing you.

I think it means the body will try to get rid of the excess salt that has been absorbed, but because urine is less salty than water there is a deficit in how much liquid it can safely produce, so as it produces liquid to get rid of the excess salt it crosses the threshold of safety and dehydrates the body in the process.
