  Caption writer seems to be confused about what a real photograph is and what conceptual means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proof of wormholes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Listen I know the RFK claim is nonsense but that doesn’t excuse faulty logic. This is like saying cancer existed before X so X can’t be a carcinogen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨be gay, do crimes (in space)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Best band name ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s one spicy meatball.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  With my own father and some others I know, I feel like the problem is less with being unable to learn new things then with being unable to unlearn things either which are no longer valid, or which were never valid but it should have become increasing obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the ‘myth’ you speak of is based on the fact that the opposite of what you describe is also true. Those who lose any interest in learning new things become progressively more rigid and stuck in their mindset and become less and less likely to learn or adapt as they age. I suspect there are more people leaning towards that than lifelong learners, but I may just be a pessimist.

  If you take out the word ‘completely’ you’ve got it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Woofstream⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe viralness is just proportional to stupid and so the stupid ones simply get copied and reencoded lossily more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news. :)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who else could offer more distraction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨STRAIGHT 2 JAIL⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea of this person is expert enough to tell the difference, but there are loon species in Europe that sound pretty similar to the common loon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🦈🦈🦈⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How do any of these sharks function without a cloaca?!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨KATHLEEN⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Katy is also kinda-sorta-not-really short for Kathleen. It’s short for Katherine.

  RFK jr?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, he’s just as unbelievable playing anyone with an average IQ.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Working Overtime at the Disease Factory⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously! When I put in an order for a plague, I don’t want to get sent an inadequately infectious one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When life gives ya lemons.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemon x mexican (key) lime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He was a snacc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand the “drag off” part. They don’t eat them where they found them? Why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can tell what type a base pair is by listening to the tone it makes, but it’s very quiet so you need a stethoscope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't we all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you hold the picture upside down the dna spirals the right way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cursed knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a great day for having eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's get Physical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What was that claim? And is there some equivalent of TLDR I can preemptively use about whatever news coverage contains this info which I don’t want to look up and wish to ignore if I eventually come across it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨electrostatic spider flight⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But how common are windless conditions, really? It seems incredibly rare that there would be so little air movement that the effect of it wouldn’t far overwhelm the electrostatic effect. I’m no meteorologist, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama Proxima⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry I was being unecessary obnoxious. I just meant they could have written it saying “this could happen” rather than presenting it as “this will happen.”

  I’m just really triggered lately with everything online being exaggerated for clicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama Proxima⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The English language has words and grammar for speculation, “will” is not one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Words were considered slurs even before there were social consequences for using them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, those noods are practcally naked! Come to think of it, it’s that they are not quite naked that makes them so hot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Always include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microwave Intensifies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a fake photograph. It’s actually a woodcut cleverly done to mimic one. It’s quite good, you can hardly make out the crosshatching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly Big Invertabrate was behind this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When your brain explodes out your other ear, you don’t want to be getting any in your eyes. Also, its not a plug, it just ties them to the table so you don’t steal them.
