For a mistake that big, someone’s boss gets fired. If you were even able to fuck it up that bad there have already been so many fuck ups.

Oh my god, seeing that dude always makes my skin crawl. This man is the epitome of the evil that lives openly where I grew up. I don’t understand how anyone who believes in Satan doesn’t immediately see it when they look at him. I don’t even believe in Satan and I see it.

And in Southern California allergy season is year round. Fuck you, ragweed.

That’s definitely a decent chunk of what people in the media who talk about the ‘male loneliness epidemic’ are talking about, though. I don’t think I’ve read a single article about it that doesn’t devote time to how little sex young men allegedly aren’t having.

Possibly the original? or at least another widespread name for them is ‘granddaddy longlegs’, which is a very different kink. 🍋🥳

IIRC a study did show that does fuck up a lot of them. I can’t remember if they are temporarily or permanently blinded, but it’s not great for them.

Ah, no wonder the Wikipedia page didn’t help… the top result when I searched was for a cult leader named Alex Horn. Thanks for the explanation!

Sorry, I don’t get the reference and the Wikipedia page didn’t help!

Even if you think height divided by two, why even describe it that way? Giraffes are tall, but not so unfathomably tall that something half its size is incomprehensible. That’s 7-9ish feet. You couldn’t say the size of Andre the Giant?

You have a high concentration of blood vessels on the inside of your eyelids, which are kept in contact with the cornea by tears. It doesn’t only let oxygen through, some parts of blood (like lymph and antibodies) can also travel through the tears and into your cornea.

Punishment from God for his evil ways?

Is this false color SEM or really incredible macro focus stacking? Really cool either way.
- Comment on The warning signs the AI bubble is about to burst 1 week ago:
Is it me or did the ‘AI bubble is bursting’ articles all come out of nowhere overnight? Not complaining it’s finally getting acknowledged but still

I watched some video recently about how many of the women posting tradwife content on Instagram, TikTok, etc actually work a normal job on top of doing the tradwife cosplay. Literal LARPing, but with more christofascism and less self awareness.

Make sure to hold it at arm’s length, if you weren’t already. If it’s close to you it’s too big to vanish into the blind spot.

Clearly this means God’s chosen are the cephalopods.
- Comment on IYKYK 2 weeks ago:
It was plant oil, being fermented anaerobically and heated for millions of years chemically changes it.
- Comment on IYKYK 2 weeks ago:
From what I can find it sounds like plant oils, not petroleum, for anyone else that was confused.

Don’t be harsh on yourself, I think the drawing turned out great. I really like the shading and cross hatching!

As someone who takes a weekly shot, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME 😭
Uuugh I don’t want to switch to daily gel or patches, it’s such a pain in the ass.

I don’t think this was the exact article I read, but here’s another discussing the research: https://www.uml.edu/news/stories/2025/pfas-detox.aspx
- Comment on 🤝🤝🤝 2 weeks ago:
Some recent study also found that mucilaginous fiber binds with PFAS the same way that it binds with cholesterol to keep the body from absorbing it. PFAS already in your system is believed to be reintroduced to your digestive system through bile excretion, some binds with the fiber and leaves your system, the rest is absorbed.
If you don’t eat a lot of food with mucilage, the main ingredient in Metamucil has mucilaginous fiber, as the name suggests.
The study author in the interview I read emphasized it wasn’t like ‘take fiber for a few months and PFAS is all gone,’ she and her husband just incorporated a mucilage supplement into their diets because of how prevalent it is in the environment.

Is this the place to drop my recommendation for Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer? It’s 25 years old, but a fascinating read.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 2 weeks ago:
Still doesn’t give anyone a reason to be an ass about it. Nobody has a perfect diet and habits without having an eating disorder.

How would padding it with vegetables have helped? Would seltzer water have been less shaken up?
Shaming someone biking to and from the store for getting zero calorie soda is ridiculous. Post the contents of your last trip to the grocery store. Made on foot or bike I’m sure, right?
To be clear, even if the answer to that was yes and you eat nothing but ‘health food’ it wouldn’t t give you the right to sneer at what other people eat and drink.
- Comment on New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring ‘terrifying’ ordeal 2 weeks ago:
Oh, they detained her because she works in a prison?
Or are we just looking for the ‘right’ reason to throw immigrants and their children in prison without a trial?

Unless there is some extreme context here, I would immediately dump any therapist that said that. If I want to hear that trash I can talk to my relatives for free.
- Comment on LLMs’ “simulated reasoning” abilities are a “brittle mirage,” researchers find 3 weeks ago:
LLMs are incapable of reasoning. There is not a consciousness in there deciding and telling you things. My comment was entirely about whether LLMs can reason, not whether all people reason at the same level or might decide to trick you.
- Comment on LLMs’ “simulated reasoning” abilities are a “brittle mirage,” researchers find 3 weeks ago:
The difference being that people do reason, while LLMs don’t.
