The spooky season has arrived, and that means Creepy Biology is upon us. It's time to talk origins. It's time to talk gore. It's time to talk about BLOOD. Specifically, YOUR blood 🩸 [a thread]

There’s many hilariously awful things about Google wasting half a page of search results on their asinine LLM thing, but perhaps the best one is that it takes every page of the SCP Foundation wiki completely seriously and reports it as stone cold fact.

1996, my college friends and I had an email list (hello DUHC!) and I distinctly remember the day we all got excited, after much effort, when we managed to send over 100 messages in a single day. Ah, the folly of youth.

When the Democrats sweep Congress in the midterms I'm calling both of my Senators and my Rep and asking them point-blank: What is your plan to absolutely and utterly destroy the Republican Party? The Republican Party shouldn't be able to win so much as a hall monitor election for the next 100 years

When can My girlfriend sit on my face again
I'm 21M my Girlfriend 21 F, and I broke my lower jaw 9 weeks ago, it was fractured in 2 places and I have 2 titanium plates and screws in my mouth, everything has gotten back to normal now at this point though, l've been eating and going about my life almost completely normal, but I was wondering if she was able to sit in my face now at this point in jaw surgery. I'm not on any medication I haven't been since week 2 and I'm healing great. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, please and thank you!!!

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

My neighbor told me the Middle East keeps eating his carrier groups so I asked how many carrier groups he has he said he just goes to PACOM and gets a new carrier group afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding carrier groups to the Middle East and then Pete Hegseth started crying.

Whole Foods knows about the Four Waters that are combined in a specific order to create normal water but they won't tell you them
Bathroom sink area where one can see three pipes coming out of three adjacent places on the wall which combine left plus center and right plus center and then all three again into one and then up through a weird larger tube section and then up and then down again to combine with flow from a fourth pipe coming out of a different place in the wall and then into a white plastic shrouded pipe section(?) and then up into/under the sink. Hot water has its own separate pipe from the wall. OkClose up

First pan con tomate of the season, with tomatoes and baguette from the Ypsilanti Farmers Market.
A small plastic tray, with two pieces of toasted baguette with yellow heirloom tomato pulp spread on top with smoked sea salt and black pepper. In the upper left of the tray is a small glass half full of yellow tomato water.

Ok, this is driving me bonkers: at some point in the last year I listened to an album on repeat in the car, it was indie or Midwest emo, and had a song about a girl sitting on a curb watching traffic lights change, should she call her parents, something like that. I cannot remember the name of it.
