One Of My Very Own

NEWSY BITS



This is what 5 million pounds of thrust looks like.

And each of those rockets is huge!

And check out the cost.

Just one remarkable thing after another.

The fastest car in history is a Tesla Roadster. A copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The photos were stunning.
That guy just pulled off the greatest ad campaign in the history of ad campaigns.

Flat Earth Theorist Right Now

Picture taken by DiscovR Spacecraft 1 millions mile away, showing the far side of the moon.

Not long now...

My internet sites are going nuts over this accomplishment.

Tesla circuit board launched into space by SpaceX.

But that's not the only humor in a space program.

Earthquake in Taiwan this morning.
Yeah, that is just how easy it is to die.
And if I'm not mistaken, this is a different building in similar distress.

I'll just let this speak for itself.

THE INTERNET AGE

It is no secret that many people today are obsessed with internet points, the best of which is called "going viral."
I guess that is an okay thing to strive for, and can even be fun, as demonstrated by these two lovelies.

But it can turn ugly very quickly.
Who the hell films themselves having sex then puts it on the internet?!

Remember the Pokemon hunts that grabbed the world's attention not too long ago? 
That was innocent enough, I guess. At least it gave young people some exercise.

I have been known to post outright lies.
This is always done for the humor and I assume no one believes them.

Recently, to remove all doubt, I have begun to use this: MNBT* (Might Not Be True)

I, of course, went a little nuts over the possibility that there was a movement afoot declaring that the earth was flat. I have since learned these people are just trolling people like me, for what purpose I can't fathom.
But not all is innocent. Consider the recent plague of kids eating Tide capsules. That is very dangerous, but young people accept the challenge for those fake internet points discussed earlier.

Amazingly, the biggest and by far most dangerous internet bullshit is this.
These perpetrators are literally killing people. It amazes me that people get trolled so badly that they put their children in harm's way when they have the most powerful information tool known to man in their hand at this very moment.
You want to eat a packet of detergent? Fuck it, go for it. You want to endanger you child? Please ask your doctor. Surely you have someone in your extended family in some form of the medical profession. Ask them. Read what the Center for Disease Control has to say.

I few days after penning the above I stumbled upon this clip of just what lengths some people will go for internet attention.

PEOPLE ARE SO VERY STRANGE

And this is why we watch the game.
Give that man a raise.

And if you think that was odd, consider this...

A dozen beasts have been disqualified from this year's Saudi "camel beauty contest" because their handlers used Botox to make them more handsome.

"The camel," explained the chief judge of the show, Fawzan al-Madi, "is a symbol of Saudi Arabia. We used to preserve it out of necessity, now we preserve it as a pastime."

As if being a teenager isn't hard enough, try being a 9,000 years old!

In 2008, the couple took their three daughters, then infants 5 months, 4 months and 18 months old, on a vacation to San Diego. They snapped more than 100 photos during the trip, like parents do, including several of the girls playing together during bath time. When they returned to their home in Peoria, Arizona, they dropped the camera’s memory stick off at a Walmart for developing.

This came with no backstory.
I'm assuming the army was conducting maneuvers on the prairie.

PLACES IN THE WORLD AROUND US





Municipal networks are cheaper and faster than the ones that cable and telephone duopolists build after being given exclusive franchises to serve cities, which is why the FCC had to issue an order banning cities to stop building them -- in the absence of such an order, it seems likely that most of America would end up using municipal internet connections (unlike today, when 100,000,000 Americans are served by a single ISP).

Deer population is controlled by releasing wolves into an area. All problems should be solved that way. Too much pollution? Release wolves in factories. Dislike Congress? Wolves. Wanna lose weight? That's right, wolves.

If you don't know what this is, ask a farmer."
Anybody?
I'm going to guess it's something very painful.

From the comment section:

"Is it trying to appear bigger as a self defense thing?"

"This is a hatchling. These things actually grow to about two or three feet and will eat small pets, birds, snakes, and misbehaving children."

I didn't know that.

German Artist Creates Miniature Scenes With A Darkly Satirical Twist


As a fan of the absurd, you know I love these.




I wonder if he sells the actual object or the photographs of them....or both, I guess.

The farmer tool is used to castrate lambs with a minimum of trauma. The rubber bands cut off circulation and the scrotum falls off in a few days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGgA4jauSFg
