ppl who make the argument that the earth has survived many drastic shifts in climate over the course of its existence are technically correct. our earth is wonderful at healing itself. the bit they live out is that while the earth continues, the majority of species living on it at the time do not

Kudos to HMRC I know. Weird. Phoned up to GIVE THEM MONEY (missing NI years) and they told me not to bother because I’ll hit max in 6 years anyway. Cheers HMRC (your hold music and waiting time still sucks though)

So, let’s say I’m the posterior opening of the digestive tract, through which solid waste, or feces, is excreted. And I am located at the end of the rectum and is surrounded by two sphincter muscles that control the passage of stool. AITAH?

Dire wolves remain very extinct
Despite what you are being fed, de-extinction is a con, full of gloss, bullshit and ghoulish greed.

Laser beans!
An image with the text "Because we all need it, here's what happens when a cat touches a plasma ball". Underneath are three images showing a cat's paw on a clear glass ball. Inside the ball, electric current creates a jagged laser line to the cat's paw. The cat looks on, intrigued.

My love for you is like a peregrine falcon. One more valentine from a past year.
A stern peregrine falcon looks at the reader against a background of pinks. "My love for you is like a Peregrine Falcon. Strong. Powerful." The peregrine zooms through the sky over a forest. "Energetic. Zooming towards you at 200 mph." The peregrine catches a bird. "Striking prey in a dramatic mid-air explosion of feathers. Storing excess meat in crevices or on ledges." The peregrine barfs up a pellet with a BLECHHH. "Vomiting up pellets of bone, feathers, gizzard, and other coarse material. Wait. What were we talking about?"

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”

I wake up in the morning.
I sit at my computer.

I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.
