Speaking of drugs, it probably just took 190k years for someone to work up the courage to eat the mushrooms growing out of the poop.

I’m just spitballing here, I have no clue, but they have a bunch of (used to be pretty toxic) oil inside these and maybe during any sudden impact, making it scoot a little is preferable to the thing busting open and spilling everywhere? Sort of like the telecom cabinet in the other photo that was secured to the ground and shattered when it was hit

I couldn’t really tell you why, just that they aren’t typically bolted down.
Also, that’s a telecom crossbox in your photo. Here’s some lawn mowing site warning about the risk of hitting them and moving them:

The door locks, sure, and the entire thing is a good 200lbs+, but it’s often still just resting on top of the concrete pad. Kids probably can’t push it but an adult can probably hip check it an inch at a time.
Maybe a rider lawnmower bumps it and moves it 3 inches and now there’s a crevice between the concrete pad and the transformer that kids can reach into and grab high voltage power lines.
They ARE fairly safe, a lot of things have to go wrong, but bottom line it’s still something that will kill.
I’ve worked around them, and I never shooed or chastised any kids I saw playing on them. I’d just do a quick inspection with them, point out that it’s not crooked or bent or anything so they know what to look out for. I’d really prefer they didn’t play on it, but I get it

Looks like Reddit was on the case 6 years ago. I’m not going to link to the thread, and just dump the relevant bits instead. Most of the links appear dead anyway.
From reddit:
So it comes from a webcomic series of short gags with the title: “심심할때 그려보는 K군의 조금이상한 두컷만하”

edit: kjoonlee put the artist name down as 고병규 or “Byeong-Kyu Ko” and google brings up a profile for him:
Google Translated says that he went into mobile game dev as as a founding member / director of Flint (who developed Dragon Blaze)

There’s a bit of original writing still on the second panel that looks maybe Korean

The white V pattern on the bear makes it an Asian Black Bear. Definitely feeling Korean

This rabbit hole goes a LOT deeper than this if anyone is interested. It gets a lot less funny once you finish wubbys little mini doc on them. This is untreated mental illnesses, multiple.

- Comment on Especially the Ø... 1 week ago:
The musician MØ was asked how to pronounce her stage name once, and she pointed out its just her initials (Marie Ørsted) so there’s not really a right pronunciation to MØ.
I still don’t have a clue how Ø is pronounced, like in Ørsted.

- Comment on Everything is a problem 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen some neat features included, but it’s never worth all the added bullshit they add in. Being able to tell if your oven is still on, or garage door is still open is great, but the app is never just that. It always comes with a truck load of bullshit noone asked for.
- Comment on Everything is a problem 2 weeks ago:
TVs seem to have been pretty much taken over by ‘smart’ features.
I don’t mean this as a dare or a gotcha, but genuinely asking if you know of a decently priced modern TV that’s ‘dumb’ please let me know so I can buy it.

I always assumed it was just an extension of head. The brain is in the head, if you get head you’re getting brain too? Idk.
- Comment on What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites? 2 weeks ago:
Unrealistic, who would take them? Probably easier to reserve some small bits of land somewhere and let them live there. We can call them Reservides or something. Start off saying they have all sorts of rights to the land and slowly start walking back the rights over the years.

I wonder if underpowering a wifi frequency jammer and keeping it in your pocket would let wifi still work but break this sort of ‘vision’

It was pretty obviously an act as early as 1987 when the iron sheik and hacksaw got pulled over in the same car and arrested for dwi/possession. Fans weren’t so much angry about the substance abuse as they were the bitter rivals partying together off the clock.

I stopped off in Oregon once for some McDonald’s. My total ended up being $8.00 exactly and I let out a little smile and told the cashier ‘wow perfect, what are the chances’
She looked at me like I was an idiot, and I learned some things about Oregon that day.

- Comment on US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, line of sight can be a real killer for that type of signal. Is the object that is blocking the view just another building? You could make friends in that building and get them to sign up. Then that building that was in the way is now what they want line of sight to!
WISPs won’t really go down this road explaining all of that to a customer. It sounds unprofessional and unreliable, and on the flip side the buildings that realize they’re an important relay start to charge higher rent for that antenna on the roof…so this angle is rarely discussed. But it’s essentially how they grow their network.
I’ve sat on a roof before looking at a building a block down the road thinking damn that building needs to just go away. After the job I’d go to the marketing team and tell them how great it would be to get in that building. They would decend on that building like vultures. Your WISP may have even targeted that building and got in there because you checked!
- Comment on US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP 3 weeks ago:
Have you checked with the WISP to see if the exclusivity contract does in fact stop you from getting their service?
I worked for a WISP that laughed at those contracts and stuck an antenna on a windowsill. The exclusivity is for the DMARC and wiring going to your unit. If the WISP doesn’t need it then theres nothing in their way. It’s like sticking one of those cell sites in your house, who’s going to stop you?
