Well, we all know how they will vote.
Giving this president the right to enlist election assistance from foreign governments means that EVERY president will have this right. We all know what the founding fathers said about this. What say you?

FUN WITH LANGUAGE

^^A1^^

Why not raise them like sheep just to take their children while their fur is still white and supple? Can we eat seals?
^^A2^^

^^A3^^

And those tribes took it from other tribes who got there first.

If your kid goes to meet a chicken nugget that shit's just natural selection at that point.

Said a man who can't hear shit.

Dog sitting my sister’s terrier:

How much do we feed her?

-It’s cool just leave her food out.

Our lab:

You don't see many toast artists anymore.

Why wouldn't he just lay them out on the ice?

Some guy in Arizona had this custom-built at a cost of ~$7M. Not a prop. It runs...or so I was told.

Or so it was stated.

[first day in hell]

Hostess Demon: Welcome to hell. please take a seat.

Waiter Demon: *pouring wine* Your steak will be out shortly, sir.

Me: Wow this isn’t so bad.

Group of waiter demons approaching in distance: Happpppy bir...

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

This microscopic water bear appears to be scratching his back.

"Tardigrades, known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of water-dwelling eight-legged segmented micro-animals. He may be scratching his back just like bears do with trees.

Or he may be temporarily stuck to the little bubble because of surface tension, the physics of the microbial world is very different then we experience in everyday life."
The most remarkable organism we have yet to discover. It survives high temperatures, freezing temperatures, vacuums, draught, and just about anything else we can throw at it.
But what is that little thing following it around the orb?

I would like to dump the Bald Eagle and use this bad motherfucker as our national emblem.

^^C1^^

Well, you don't see that every day.
^^C2^^

This magnificent creature has amazing skills.

The blue whale is the largest animal to ever exist on earth. Yes even bigger than dinosaurs. A marine biologist was able to attach a heart monitor to a blue whale for the first time. At the deepest part of the whales dive their hearts are only beating 2-4 times a minute. At its fastest, it was beating at 34 times a minute.

Gandalf: A wizard is never late, nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to.

Mrs. Gandalf: *glares into the camera*

WORLD HAPPENINGS

What to guess what this is?

Bicycles.
China has a Bicycle Bubble. They have so many they just ditch them wherever. City workers go around picking them up and dumping them in mountains.

Sometimes they store them neatly.

Looks like tulips...

But it is just different colored bikes.

That is fake, of course, but it's faked very well.

So this is a thing now.

Trying to combat poor living conditions, some farmers are now putting virtual reality headsets on their cows to try and improve failing milk quality. It seems to me like some real-life matrix shit happening to these cows and I personally think it’s inhumane to trick an animal into believing it’s in an alternate reality to profit off them. Another option could be, ya know, giving them better-living conditions. but hey it’s the future I guess, curious to get some feedback on this. Here’s a link to the story

"Google Uyghur" graffiti in Hong Kong

I did it for you:

Wikipedia:

"Since 2016, it's estimated that a million Uyghurs have been detained in Xinjiang re-education camps. According to Chinese government operating procedures, Obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, the main feature of the camps is to ensure adherence to Chinese Communist Party ideology. Voluntary departure from the camps is not possible and Inmates are detained for a minimum of 12 months depending on their performance in Chinese ideology tests. Communication between inmates and their family members is limited to one phone call per week. In 2017, Human Rights Watch released a report saying "The Chinese government agents should immediately free people held in unlawful 'political education' centers in Xinjiang, and shut them down." United Nation and many media reports said as many as one million people are held in such "re-education camps" in this region. As of November 2019, 1 in 10 Uyghurs is being detained in re-education camps."

If it works.

Rosetta Stone. Breathtaking

"Being able to see something that completely changed our understanding of the ancient language. If it wasn’t for this we wouldn’t understand hieroglyphics."
I know you all know that, but I'm still in awe. I watched a documentary on the guy who cracked the code and as I recall it had to do with the frequency of certain words that remains the same no matter the language.
^^D7^^

language was invented. like everyone was chill and quiet and then one day someone just started saying some shit.

AND THEN THERE WERE SETBACKS

"Ok. Wanna play that way? Fine. Let me introduce you to my friend, Mr. Bitey."
^^E1^^

I would wear it with pride.
^^E2^^

It looked like the caldron broke. He was really smart to drive out of it, but he's sitting on a propane-fueled forklift so I wouldn't dillydally.
Update: He dumped wet material in the caldron.
^^E3^^

That recent Plant Explosion in Port Neches, TX

That tower is at least 80ft tall and 2000LBS and judging by the height of these other towers it probably flew 300-400ft in the air.
(Who holds a camera like that?)
^^E4^^

I remember when a Sparrow missile launched off the rail of a F-4 while it was on the tarmac. When they called the manufacturer, Raytheon, and told them their response was, "That's impossible."

^^E5^^

Me: Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to stay in the shower?

All other inmates (in unison): No.

PONDERABLES

And there are people who will say they "earned" it without a thought of buying lawmakers to exempt them from taxes.

And...

This argument has been raging for a long, long time...

And remember the US used to tax the shit out of the super-rich and our economy did not collapse.
^^F1^^

An old moon globe where the far side of the moon is unmapped

Think of how much we have learned in our lifetime.
^^F2^^

Women attempt more, Men succeed more. Men use more violent and instant means like guns. Women use pills which I assume gives them time to change their minds and/or be discovered and rescued.
^^F2^^

I'm terrified of the dentist office so would probably react like this...

^^F4^^

The new normal.
I lost my virginity in a high school cafeteria.
^^F5^^

Speaking of cars...

And someone found this in an old video game...

My wife and I have decided that when one of our vehicles needs replacing that we are going to trade both mine and hers in on one of those trucks. But we want to give it a few years for them to work the kinks out.
