I only know one guy who is into blacksmithing and - being a nerd myself, I saw this with kindness - but this dude is a super nerd. He’s also one of the scrawniest dudes I know. I’ve heard him tell women that he’s into blacksmithing before and it definitely does not have the desired effect that this chart would imply.
You always have to consider Rule #1 when taking these things into account.

My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin’ to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.
Bonus points for coming with other, terrible, slang. You can really get a cringe if you say something like "Chat, we’re cookin’ now - I’m all rizzed up”

This is the best part about growing up in Colorado. The mountains are west. It’s like having a cheat mode compass enabled all the time.

Will Smith is a farter… he’s, you know, a lovely guy. Just, he farts. Some do, some don’t.
I like that this director thinks that there are some people wires different to just never fart. But with that being said, I kind of get where he’s coming from. One of my brothers has no problem letting farts rip. One of his crowning achievements was making a pregnant lady puke when she walked into his office after he had been hot boxing it for a few hours.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind as well! I don’t know why, but Satisfactory’s spiders really get to me. I can’t play it without the kitties turned on. It’s the only game where they bother me.

I’ve gone over it again and again and again in my head and I still can’t make sense of it. He’s a three-star general. He works at the Pentagon. Why would he charge us for free snacks?
This part had me absolutely rolling. I loved that movie.

He also basically confirmed the Will Smith MIB fart rumor in the same interview.
Say what now?

Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…

No worries that you fucked things up! If you could just get your shit together, that would be great! Thanks so much for making me have to follow up with you to accomplish the very basics of your job!

Sapiens and Homo Deus are both such good books. Lots of little anecdotes like that we’re just so fascinating.

I feel like that’s good advice for reasonably intelligent people. But it’s kind of a slippery slope, especially for people that are dumb as shit. For example, my neighbor became a hard antivaxxer during COVID.
She mistrusted everything that was actually science, assuming that she since she didn’t understand what qualified professionals were saying, they must be wrong. But if someone could make a simple (even if incredibly wrong) argument on YouTube, shed eat that shit up.

I just did the math and that’s the equivalent to a little more that 3 and a half Chipotle burritos. I can’t imagine trying to flush that down my toilet.

That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

Hard to say. That study you linked mentions reductions in speed and crashes in the vicinity of the camera, which to me indicates that people are only slowing down because they know a camera is there. I suppose someone would have to do a study to see if speed cameras reduce speeds and crashes in areas where there aren’t currently cameras, but have been in the past. Meaning that people are slowing down in areas where they think there might be cameras.
