  My favorite is the Battle of El Sauce, at which the International Consortium of Spanish-speaking Countries defeated the Yum! Brands Taco Bell Corporate Mercenaries to save the word “salsa” from extinction

  Boom, roasted

  It’s also 8 hrs/day she doesn’t have random sweaty fat guys dumping loads in her. Anyone who doesn’t take that deal is either Ayn Rand level deranged or has beaten life and found their true passion

  I believe it. Only needed to read the first 4 words of the headline before my brain went “yeah no thanks”

  Oh no, my lumbar spine :(

  Well at least you don’t take it for granite

  Had never heard of these meme, assumed it was a different humorous Throckmorton reference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No mother, it's just the northern lights⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a Simpsons reference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropology⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I was going to make a joke about the peace and v signs by using the “peace be with you; and also with you” thing but have it say “Peace be with you. And also ‘fuck you’”. But then I was thinking, what if I said “up yours” instead because it’s a more direct reference and less offensive. But then I realized it doesn’t match anywhere near as well in syllables/sound.

  So, long story short, my question is which one would be funnier/more appealing? Seriously, I genuinely want to hear opinions

  Peace be with you. And also “thank you”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let π = 5⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …if they’re above average, I think they’ll figure out the explicitly defined variable. I think the instructor is trying to make sure this problem doesn’t require a calculator and figured defining pi as 5 makes it clear that you can treat it as a whole number. 3 would be more accurate and just as easy, but meh idk that this is that great of a blunder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Showing appreciation for hard work.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes of course, how could one possibly assume unkindness of someone just because they’re a Nazi. It’s just short for two common words, surely we can’t assume genocidal intent or otherwise fairly criticize anyone for something so trivial

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A bad influence⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s objectively worse than every major alternative while being absurdly resource intensive. Just watching it struggle feels like the punchline to a very dry & tragically unfunny joke

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ramadan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As “a person who doesn’t believe in any sky daddy” I don’t understand why you would find inspiration in something directly contradictory to your own purported views

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ramadan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m showing my bias, I hope not to offend: how does someone understanding/expert in enough math and science to become an astronaut still believe that the magic sky man cares what direction he bows in during prayer or when he eats? If it’s cultural significance I can understand that, but otherwise I just can’t comprehend how you can have such a dissonance between empiric study/career and fundamentalist religious belief

  Sometimes it’s nice to spruce up your pine for xmas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cinderella got radicalised⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the 🤙 kind of radicalization, as in to become totally rad. Not the culty scary kind

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trick or Treat!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To be a true “trick or treat,” it should be a 50-50 mix of habaneros and mini orange bell peppers. Which is the trick vs treat depends on if you’re a spicy liker or not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one really understands our struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it didn’t stop the Kaiser from making off with our word for “twenty.” Say, do you have 5 bees for a quarter?
