I don't care if it produced an endless supply of hot delicious churros straight out of the glovebox, I will never buy a fucking Tesla

At this point, Tesla marketing is shaped exactly the same as a phishing scam email: filter out all but the stupidest people in the world, and then fleece them for all they're worth

Not unrelated, if that person off tikky would stop me and ask which piece of original art I would want to own personally, Going to the Match (football) would be one of the two I would name.

Vildi að ég væri á Íslandi til að sjá Hlemm á stóra tjaldinu í Bíó Paradís. Klárlega besta íslenska heimildamyndin, sem varð til þess að ég kynntist Ómari afa mínum ❤️

Discworld Convention @dwcon.org · 20h
Today is #GlobalCatDay. Below is a famous Sir #TerryPratchett quote about cats -- even though he never actually said it! He did write The Unadulterated Cat, a hilarious book about cat ownership. Show off your own Cats (Unadulterated or otherwise) in the replies! #Discworld #DiscworldConvention
Black text on a pale grey background with a black Art Nouveau border.

The text reads: "'In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.' is *not* a quote from Terry Pratchett."

The word 'not' is capitalised and underlined for emphasis. We're really sorry, folks! It's a great quote! But Pterry never wrote it.

Telling Americans about the Christingle Orange again
The Christingle Orange - an Orange (which represents the world) with a ribbon round it (for Christ's blood), sticks with sweets on them (for the four seasons/gods creations) and a candle (for Jesus). There is also some tinfoil, which is purely functional.

We have arguably already discovered dark matter, says columnist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein. To observe it, we will need to figure out whether we expect it to act like a particle or a wave.

A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

The first time I was properly in London was in '86 and I remember well my amazement at those. Very new at the time of course but I only realised that later. Still a highlight every time I visit. Love them and they're a powerful nostalgia trigger.

So I just saw this posted by some random engagement farming account and want to use it as an example of a certain kind of post because they piss me off. This image is just a lie. These are not Hot Wheels. You can tell since they have no branding on the bottom.
image showing the underside of 3 die cast cars labeled '1997' '2012' and '2016', with less detail under each of them each time. It has the text 'Hot Wheels losing details over the years'.

After a few months the "perfectly identical" socks start diverging from each other. You can no longer just grab two and assume they're a pair. You still have to match them but they're similar enough that the job is a right old pain. Have you learned nothing from plastic takeaway containers & lids
