I'm just going to put this here in case anyone is interested in it for some kind of reference or "entertainment purposes only" or whatever. Wouldn't it be wild if one particular Tesla was targeted? That'd be crazy, right? Just completely nuts and so unexpected. gadgetsranked.com/can-a-tesla-...

Wife: *intentionally singing WAY off key and only well enough for the tune to be recognizable* Wife: I love singing to you! Me: Let me know when it happens... Got a high five for that one. Well, I self-fived, but that made her laugh, so I wasn't in trouble.

My 17yo daughter informed me that my singing voice is “mid” but “it’s ok because you’re a really good dancer.”

OK, can we please stop doing this "I have a wee pithy thing to say, so it's going to be a huge graphic with no ALT text" thing? Please? I even see news outlets and indie journalists do it. You can't filter it out with a word list. It isn't viewable by those with screen readers. Just type your shit.

Before the bullshit starts: * I hate the orange shitgibbon too. * I don't want to censor you. I want you to include both the handicapped and people who would like to filter certain words, like "Trump". * I don't follow these people, then complain. They come across the Discover feed. * I said please.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

No one ever takes me seriously when I say we should bring back guillotines for politicians who don't server the people. Is it because I pronounce it "GWILL-oh-tynz"? I'm saying that right, yeah? I think so. I really think I'm right on this one.

*cutting my own hair* Me: So, doing anything fun this weekend? Me: I don't talk to pigs! *makes oinking noise* Me: *intentionally fucks up my hair because I don't like the attitude*

See SuperCuts, I can cut my own hair with these perfectly good kitchen shears, and nobody humiliates me by asking if I “just got off work”

Get you a spouse who, when you get a Brennan Lee Mulligan - level rant going about how you want to quit your job and move to the woods to be a hermit, will hand you a snack you can eat while ranting and then patiently listen until your blood sugar stabilizes

This is literally the reason my wife says "Thank Youuu!" after using Alexa. She says, when the inevitable robot uprising happens, she will be looked upon with favor for being polite. Her: ...that way, they won't kill me! Me: First. They won't kill you 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵.

Yeah yeah. Eat the rich. We're on board. But how best to 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦 the rich? In my limited culinary experience, I am of the opinion that sous vide would be the most fun, because first you get to completely seal them in a watertight, thick plastic bag, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 you put them in very hot water for hours!

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

"It's genuinely amazing how little people know about Elon Musk." A Reddit comment that goes back, lays it out, brings receipts, and links to all claims made. Astonishing, honestly. Link: www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co... ps. I'm just a humble shitposter, but thought this might be informative. Enjoy.

My wife's dream is to be at a fancy schmancy party and a helicopter lands and someone is like "You are needed at an undisclosed location", so she hands her drink to the closest person, gets in the chopper and disappears into the night sky.

I'm going to start repeating "Hey, human!" to all the magpies around my house. That way, once they learn the vocalization, they can freak out every other person they encounter. My biggest hope is that they pass it down the generations and it spreads from flock to flock.

*the wife and I discussing Marketing vs. Sales* Her: I'm more interested in just telling people about how cool it is. Me: Yeah, I can't make people buy things they don't need. I'm not a Shark In A Suit. I'm more like Lambies in Jammies. Her: *runs away laughing to text it to everyone she knows*

I am famous at my post office for asking to have heavy packages left on the porch instead of returned to the post office and left with a delivery attempt notification slip. This is what I got the last time I asked.

Anyone who ever claimed to have suffered from spontaneous human combustion probably just got done sprinting in cords. Being twice accused of lying shortly beforehand is purely coincidence, despite the observational rhyme.

It’s hard to walk away seductively in corduroy pants.

I'm laughing imagining the cars are like dogs when you have to give them to a new home and they run off and run all the way back to where they used to live. All these cars randomly showing up at the massive factory parking lot.

i’m laughing imagining one of those car carrier trucks going all the way across the country and then when they pull the cars off it, the truck is mad like “they could drive this whole time!?”
