Huh, I was expecting a Gallifreyan song, not this.

Who?
- Comment on This makes so much more sense 1 week ago:
This made me think of the Bir Tawil dispute on the Egyptian-Sudanese border.
- Comment on This makes so much more sense 1 week ago:
This makes me think of that old Doctor Who episode where they’re in Pompeii, and anytime the Doctor or companion uses a Latin phrase, the locals get agitated and say things like “Hey! ME. NO. SPEAKIE. THE. CELTIC!”
Cute little quirk with the handwavey translation thing.

In the same vein, does the Kiel canal mean the Denmark is an archipelago instead of a peninsula + islands?
And the Panama canal is when America became two continents? :D

Asia is Northeast Africa, extended edition.
Europe is North Africa, extended edition.
It also leads me to count 4 continents: Africa (or Afrasia/Afro-Eurasia), America, Australia, Antarctica.

I thought for sure you’d have a picture of the Stargate…

Whoosh
At this point, ‘gaslighting’ is just a synonym for ‘lying’ (or in this case, ‘making excuses’).

Only if it’s garnished with silphium.

Perfect V/VII
- Comment on Day 773 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 month ago:
I play games basically every day. I don’t think I can claim 700+ straight days, though, I don’t really play games while on vacation.

I do, but it didn’t show a last name.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
Ha, delightfully petty. When it comes to text spam, though, I just block. Engaging in any way just encourages the spammers.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
just to see if you will respond
Yeah, could also be this. You never know.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
Ugh, if I had my druthers, all text spams would trigger an electric shock on the sender. It’s such an obnoxious waste.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
If it weren’t connected somehow, I wouldn’t be getting the misdirected spams.
Your theory seems likely. We bought a house together back in the “bad old days” long before we split.
It’s still a little jarring to see in my texts!

Of course it’s an externality! They for sure ain’t installing those panels on the inside of the house. Then it would be an internality. Heh.
(sorry, couldn’t resist. /s obviously)
- Comment on This is the chore that never ends 2 months ago:
I wonder what uses more water, manufacturing a paper plate or running the faucet to wash a ceramic plate?

This is basically why I look for DailyStrudel’s posts on imgur. It’s a little dollop of cute in an ugly world.

I was thinking much the same thing. Have an upvote.

One time I had my cat out for a walk in his harness. He started going nuts on this random spiky looking plant by a fence. My wife and I are like, uh oh, is that cat safe?
I took a photo and uploaded it to a plant ID site (was, and still am, amazed that they are just casually online with such a tool).
Catnip.

Put salami on bread,. everyone ignores your sandwich-making.
Put salami on a cat, everyone loses their minds!
Except the cat, he’ll just go “oh! A treat!”
