Postgrad studies. 💀 I’ll take a job any day over that hell!
- Comment on Bubble Wrap! 1 week ago:
One of my proudest moments was when a cardiologist looked at my ECG and asked if he could show it in his course the next day. Undortunately I could remember what he saw, and the arrythmia that led me to consult went away once I quit a major source of stress.
- Comment on Physicists vs Normal People 4 weeks ago:
It could be the handbrake (well, footbrake). If that’s the case, it’s unusually close to the other pedals.
- Comment on sterile rot 2 months ago:
Helicobacter, like Helicobacter pylori which causes ulcers.
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 2 months ago:
- Comment on At this rate, why not. 2 months ago:
No more climate change if no more climate!
- Comment on Is Soviet playground! Is fun! Go play on playground while Papa reads Pushkin. 2 months ago:
Compare with this real concrete slide from Romania, built in 1964
- Comment on Resume help 3 months ago:
Excellent at working under pressure
- Comment on Graphic Design Is My Passion 3 months ago:
The colors are delightfully retro. Especially the yellow and red, very Kodak.
- Comment on oh no 4 months ago:
Naegleria fowleri, the goddamn brain-eating amoeba, is goddamn everywhere and I goddamn hate knowing that.
- Comment on He's a little feisty, but he looked cold 5 months ago:
I looked it up and wow, that’s crazy. Messi is basically naturally domesticated. If the medical conditions are genetic, he could be the start of a lineage of house pumas.
- Comment on Read-onlys are cancer. Post stuff you want to see. 5 months ago:
Read-onlys be like Image while upvoting
- Comment on Caption this. 5 months ago:
The base pairs are off and that irritates me more than the art - at least that has the excuse of being evocative or something.
- Comment on How did people poop before smartphones were invented? 6 months ago:
I used to do that too! But living in Eastern Europe, our shampoo bottles had like twenty languages. I didn’t manage to learn any, but I did develop a sense of how closely related they were.

Microplastics!
- Comment on Sorrows you could not comprehend 7 months ago:
Chameleon! Wartortle,
Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl,
Omanyte, Slowpoke…
That’s all I’ve got. I will shed a single tear in remembrance of happier days.
- Comment on Distribution of English Letters 7 months ago:
Damn this one’s good, I only noticed when scrolling back up.
- Comment on The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss 7 months ago:
Another clue it isn’t Quebec is that Quebec wouldn’t bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
- Comment on Moss 7 months ago:
You know what, the high arctic probably looks similar to that prehistoric moss-covered landscape. Because moss is pretty much the only thing that can survive there (and some very small plants).
- Comment on Larry and the Legend of the Ligand Key 7 months ago:
The joke would have worked a lot better if Larry’s friends were different shapes. There’s no visual reason why Larry is the only one that can act as the key.
- Comment on Tibetan Sand Fox 7 months ago:
When you do, please post a picture of her expression so we can compare with the fox’s.
- Comment on Becoming et al. 7 months ago:
No scholar would ever tell anyone else to become a scholar. More like “Run! Run while you can! Get away from this cursed existence!”
- Comment on Lichens are things 7 months ago:
Gotta love oligotrophy. Some lichens grow inside rocks… definitely can’t replicate that in a lab (although not for lack of trying).
- Comment on please be nice to retail workers 8 months ago:
That’s because the cost of living is a bitch. We may make 5x more but our bills might be 7x more than yours, so overall we’re worse off.
- Comment on I always order Popular Problem. 8 months ago:
I’m late to the thread but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for taking the time to write it all up! You’ve helped me understand a few things about abjads, which makes the original post even more hilarious.
- Comment on Measurements 9 months ago:
What is your professional opinion on decimal feet? I had to use such a measuring tape at work, it took me half a day to figure out what was going on with that abomination.
- Comment on Extinctions 11 months ago:
Agreed, look at all the natural variation that was lost. The newcomers don’t convey the same intensity of emotions.
P.S. “extant” means still in existence, I believe you meant “extinct” :)
- Comment on What a fun gi 11 months ago:
I’ve noticed that too! I wonder if it’s some sort of watermark generated either by the meme generator program or by the website hosting the image. Anything I see on FB, for example, has these weird artifacts, or even entire words blanked out or garbled.
- Comment on Calculus made easy 11 months ago:
Thank you for this beautiful example of using “defiantly” correctly!
- Comment on Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing. 1 year ago:
And leeches. Can’t forget the leeches.
