Why would your first thought on seeing bigfoot "oh, it's bigfoot, I should shoot him!"
ignore the other answers:

Bigfoots are from a different dimension and therefore it is entirely safe and legal to shoot the Bigfoots.

also according to "Extradimensional Bigfoot" this is also true:

what the gently caress are they even /doing/? it's not like those people are actually doing anything except meaningless slide decks
my guess? 3-6 hours of meetings per day and watching graphs during and throughout

imagine going to school for years to be a drone pilot but you never even get to watch your kills, only number

it's inhumane

But no, don't, unless you want something unreliable and want to abuse a warranty.

This video popped up in my recommendations. It's a piece of deep investigative journalism (at least by the standards of Youtube :v:) on why McDonald's ice cream machines are seemingly always broken (and it turns out it's because the company that makes the machines profits from them being broken :capitalism:):

thanks for posting this. makes a hell of a lot more sense than "it's broken" meaning "we ran the cleaning cycle at noon for some reason"

pretty sure a lot of it is they don't remember what the initialism stands for any more either, they just remember what it represents.

like if during a brain fart you couldn't remember "Federal Bureau of Investigation" wouldn't you still know what "FBI" means?

"laser" and "scuba" are perfectly cromulent even if you don't quite remember what the acronyms are short for

what’s caffeine’s LD50

Wikipedia posted:

The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on individual sensitivity, but is estimated to be 150–200 milligrams per kilogram (2.2 lb) of body mass (75–100 cups of coffee for a 70 kg (150 lb) adult). There are cases where doses as low as 57 milligrams per kilogram have been fatal.

This sounds like some kind of reverse-FOMO. Like a fear or paranoia of others having the same things, or the same opportunities as you.

All of these stories are so bizarre, "A holiday is only good if other people don't get to take it". Imagine spending your holiday obsessing in delight over the misery of other people who didn't get to go, instead of just enjoying the holiday.
bucket crab mentality is a hell of a drug. always a race to the bottom as long as someone else has it worse.

Like Alexander the Great assaulted the ISLAND city of Tyre by building a dirt "bridge" to it a kilometer long, under enemy fire (when they got close). That bridge is still connecting the city to the mainland today.

Yeah, I think working on cars is less inherently dangerous than operating metalworking or woodworking machinery. And stoves. Well. (I set my class notebook on fire on an electric stove, but that's because I am gifted.)

The one class I remember is that we made spaghetti and I refused to let my teammates break it up and I wound mine around a spoon the way I did at home and the teacher made the rest of the class do it. God, who'd be 16 again.
As someone that turned 17 very shortly before exactly 20 years ago?
