Random story, sorta sad, but has a good ending…
One day a jumping spider landed on the back of my neck. I didn’t see it, but of course I felt it. Out of instinct, I slapped my neck. I got the little bugger alright, but I was all too sad when I saw that it was a jumper ☹️
I put the little guy on the park bench, two legs broken off and not moving. I was so sad that I sat there for a while, occasionally blowing on it to see if there were any signs of life. After probably like 40 minutes or so, it actually got up and ran away 👍
I hope it went on to eat more flies, lay eggs and have lots of babies…
🕷️❤️

Apparently they ran on like 90 volts!
Yeah, I didn’t have a landline phone at home as a kid, but I was still stupid and curious enough to lick the phone wires at a friend’s house out of curiosity.
Note to self, don’t lick random wires… 💀

I’m 43. How does Call Waiting work? Like how do you switch over from one call to the other?
I’ve never had any situation where I had a second call come in while already in a call, but seriously how tf does that work?

Me: I got fucked by my boss today.
Her: Well did he at least use a condom?
Me: No, he withheld my paycheck, why the hell would you ask that?

Hey, a clock is a clock, the question didn’t ask for an analog clock specifically.
I’d end up having a word with the teacher that marked that sketch wrong.

Did you know that racoons in Australia are called Rangaroos? They spin backwards of the native kangaroos when they fly, and they breathe through their anus.

- Comment on NOW! 2 weeks ago:
Umm, we got one of these dumped off at our city park for like over a month or so. Yes used and starting to rust on top a bit, but still fully usable with just a bit of grill cleanup.
I think it’s been basically honorary community usage since it was dropped off, I’m surprised nobody has stolen or scrapped it yet.
- Comment on Teacher rapes partner's daughter, 4, then sits on her in bath until she drowns 2 weeks ago:
I’m not really upset either way, before or after the headline edit.
I don’t have any children either, but stories like this make me wonder what parents out there might be worrying about right at Halloween…
I get that it’s the creepy season and all, but people out there have been a bit crazier and more suspicious even of their own neighbors, especially in recent times.
I take these sort of stories/reports for what they are, sad and messed up, but generally rare situations. Some folks out there might see too many of these sort of reports just before sending their kids out for Haloween and get paranoid though…
🤷

This is obviously very disgusting and disturbing, but do we really need these sort of messed up stories right before Halloween?

Yeah, the finer grained details of timekeeping can get confusing, but I learned all that from online sources and curiosity by age 17.
We really do live in an amazing era where technology does so much for us behind the scenes, until AWS takes a shit anyways…
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
Very true yes, but even considering kids that aren’t as inclined to learn on their own, it can’t be too difficult for an adult or even older sibling to sit down for 5 minutes or so and explain it while watching the clock with them. It could be made even easier if you put it side by side with a synchronized digital clock/watch.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 3 weeks ago:
How hard can it actually even be? Nobody taught me how to read an analog clock, I just figured it out myself by staring at my parents’ analog clock for exactly 5 minutes, while carefully watching the hands move and counting.
When I realized that the second hand ticked 60 times per revolution, and after it had went around 5 times, and the longer of the two slow hands had advanced from the 12 to the 1, then I simply thought to myself “Well I get it now, that’s not so difficult!”
And yes I correctly extrapolated the correlation between the minute hand and the hour hand too.
