just add 50 lbs of butter, 70 lbs of flour, 100 lbs of sugar, 10 lbs of baking soda and 500 eggs to the dirt … just throw it all into a cement mixer and pour it into a blast furnace for 30 seconds

“Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”

- Comment on Mark Cuban says Facebook knowingly runs AI deepfake scam ads as Meta docs reveal $16 billion in fraud-linked revenue 6 days ago:
The fact that something like Facebook exists without public oversight or control is absolutely insane … if your national public rely heavily on one source for the majority of the information and communication, what do you think is going to happen? Is like saying that there is only one company that owns every newspaper across the country and they are allowed to self regulate themselves.
It’s like Joseph Goebbels said about media and communications ‘Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.’
Except this time, we’ve allowed multinational corporations at the keyboard to play the music that we all dance to

or just take two tablespoons of peanut butter and like one friend I know, balance ten tablespoons worth of peanut butter on one tablespoon and do it twice and almost completely empty out one small jar and still comfortably say that you only used two tablespoons of peanut butter.
- Comment on Sir Patrick Stewart is the only Star Trek actor to appear as his character and with himself on screen at the same time 1 week ago:
Great story and great research … kudos to Jörg Hillebrand for finding this amazing bit of Trek lore … not only is Captain Jean Luc Picard famous for being part of Trek but so is Patrick Stewart … amazing! I’m sure that someone on the production crew of the original TNG lineup was in on this hidden easter egg (maybe even Stewart himself) but it only take a dedicated Trek fan to be able to discover it
- Comment on When it was all trial and error 1 month ago:
Everything we currently eat or are able to eat was established by the deaths of millions of people who helped us to figure out what not to eat. And we’re dumb animals, so often it would take several deaths or unfortunate circumstances before we figured out what was bad for us.
It’s kind of like OSHA rules and regulations … it’s all written in blood and death.

Engagement and data collection … sometimes it’s just a way to collect data. Anyone that responds gets added to their list of accounts that have a live person.
They do the same for telemarketing, email, mail, phone, sms, and any other contact request … once there’s a response, it’s confirmation that the account has a human owner

Time to bring back ‘Kent Micronite filtered cigarettes’ …
From March 1952 until at least May 1956, however, the “Micronite filter” in Kent cigarettes contained a mixture of crimped crêpe paper and compressed blue asbestos, the most carcinogenic type of asbestos.

- Comment on I'll catch you outside 4 months ago:
This happened to us one winter. We had installed the cheapest security camera system we could buy about ten years ago and it gave out an image that was just one step better than standard definition … but the great thing was that we were able to access it remotely online with an app on our phones. We thought we had entered into the future world and we were technologically more advanced than anyone we knew. The image was terrible, the connection was spotty and it frequently dropped connection if we logged on too long and scrolled through the video notices.
Then one night while we were hours away from home, we went to review the security cam again … an alien creature was sprawled out on our lawn with dozens of legs and appendages that moved in various directions. We thought it was just dust, or sticks or grass and monitored it for several minutes until it started moving like some intelligent creature.
My wife stepped back and walked away, disgusted at what she saw … then from far away, she started laughing and said, ‘put it down’ and I stepped back … from ten feet away, we could clearly see that a spider had made a web over the camera

That’s also hilarious logic … God creates man in his own image … God creates woman because ‘reasons’ and makes the decision to give her an opening that physically compliments his appendage … then places them both in a garden where they are completely unaware of why the anatomy between their legs is so different between the two of them. Tells the two of them not to eat this particular apple … but they eat it anyway, so God throws an epic eternal hissy fit, throws them out of the garden because the apple has caused them to look at their junk and think that they could rub up against one another and he could penetrate her and it would be totally fun for both of them
For a guy who totally created everything in the universe … you’d think he could be able to hit the reset button on all this and just not allow any created person any chance of gaining any kind of knowledge and just let them live out their existence like a beautiful flower or a tree and not disturb anything or anyone

Also creates two sexes so that there can be a complicated method of procreation … makes the act very enjoyable … even makes using the parts by yourself very enjoyable
Bans everyone from doing it or even thinking about it and only allows them to do it to reproduce … watches everyone who even thinks about doing it or acting out on it
- Comment on Nobody ever knows 5 months ago:
The thinking, mentality and emotions about all this are normal … I know, because I’m getting to the age and experience in life that I feel this way too sometimes …
… the part that is not normal is that many of these people choose not to be polite, considerate, accommodating, compassionate, empathetic or kind and keep these thoughts and ideas to themselves.
Think about it … if I applied every idea or thought that you thought was a good idea, it would satisfy a good percentage of everyone, but it would not be suitable for everyone. The same thing applies to everyone else’s ideas or thoughts. None of our individual ideas will ever perfectly mesh with everyone in society … we all have to learn to accept and live with the idea that we all have to live within certain limits and learn to accommodate others around us and hope that they do the same for us.
We all have to compromise a little bit for one another and that way, we all get to live in a little bit of peace … because due to human nature and our ever expanding ability to screw with one another in ever more creative ways, it’s the best we can hope for.
Perhaps the first step towards any kind of sanity in all this is in first understanding that this is how we all are.

I’ve often thought of doing that … but around here, enough people do that that it isn’t that scary for people any more … my idea was to create three or four identical scarecrows or dressed up characters and sit in as one of them.
- Comment on In case you weren’t sure which box 5 months ago:
They are common up here in northern Ontario in Canada … but it’s just a habit with people up here … everyone prefers using the back door and when you get there, you knock on the door. The front door is more or less decorative and seldom used and usually used only for days like Halloween or mail package deliveries (and package carriers are better as they almost always use door bell)
- Comment on In case you weren’t sure which box 5 months ago:
lol … my favourite is Halloween … a few years ago, I put up a paper sign on the door with an arrow pointing to the ‘DOOR BELL’ … I even added extra instructions ‘RING DOORBELL FOR CANDY’ … and at one point I even put a sign lower to the ground so that kids could read it. My wife laughed at me and said that people weren’t that stupid and they’ll see the large bright glowing button of the doorbell and use it to get our attention.
About three quarters of the people - whether they be kids or adults or both - knocked loudly on the door and ignored all the signs. I even had some miffed adults look at me weird for taking too long because I didn’t hear them pounding on the door.
For the past few Halloweens, I gave up and now I just sit by the door and wait for people to arrive and greet them before they even have a chance to knock.
