What in the world are you talking about? This just simply isn’t true

Another great one syllable Yiddish word is Schmuck

Maybe someone smarter than me can answer a question that this picture prompted in my mind. How come Mars in just a pinprick in the sky for us looking at Mars from Earth, but a crescent is visible of the earth from the surface of Mars?

Edit: I am as dumb as I expected. Thanks for the responses, and a big fuck you to the person who shamed me for my ignorance. I’m glad that there was only one

What the fuck are you talking about?

I had the same thought. Predicably, someone did ☝️

That would be a shame. Threshers aren’t designed to grind up trash and it might cost the owner a bit in maintenance

I had a plastic brontosaurus toy as a kid that I loved. It had a weird chemical smell to it. 30+ years later, when I hear “brontosaurus” I instantly and vividly swear I can smell it

Years ago, when projectors were common in conference rooms. Someone was giving a practice presentation before the real deal in front of 80+ audience members. It was just our team of 8 or so the room for the dry run. In the middle of the presentation, there was a terrifyingly loud POP sound as the bulb blew out in the projector. It scared the shit out of everyone in the room. We all laughed after the initial shock wore off.

One of my coworkers stepped up on a table to take a look at it. I was near him and I waited for silence in the room while he was fucking with the thing, and clapped my hands together very loudly, simulating the previous scare. He let out a shriek of terror and clutched his chest. Everyone laughed. Eventually he laughed as well, but said something like “damn, that scared me.” Within a week he had a legit heart attack.

He was ultimately okay, but I still think about it. I know I didn’t cause it, but for a long time I couldn’t shake the guilty feeling that I contributed to it. Oops. Sorry Ken.

Counterpoint: Considering the scale of Lemmy compared to reddit, it’s hard to strike a chord. Suspend your doubt and keep making music jokes on a regular cadence. Someday you’ll hit the right tempo and and reach harmony with other users who recognize it as your signature style.

lol

Yeah, totally. As someone who used reddit for 10 years and had comment karma in the several hundreds of thousands, it still pisses me off that it was ruined in the way it was

Surprisingly, porcupines and hedgehogs are not closely related

I get the apathy, but it’s not the way forward. It just makes matters worse

God I hate marketing bullshit like this.

Such a great short story. My first exposure to this was the Kursgesagt animated version:
