What a delightful story 😄

Very nice news to see first thing in the morning, thanks

They’ll never let it go lol, just permanently triggered.

Not even the 90s, colleges up to the 2020s required your vaccines all be up to date. Knew someone who got screwed on having to pay out of pocket for a chicken pox vaccine their parents never got them as a kid and they weren’t able to buy books that semester because of it. American healthcare system is whack, vaccines should be free.

That was beautiful.

And the alt-text made me laugh hard enough to hurt myself lol

Allegedly, it’s piggybacking off some evolutionary tribalism instinct to protect our species’ young. But the instinct went too hard, so we want to preserve everyone else’s young too, like puppies and kitties.

But this explanation still doesn’t account for people who respond to baby schema in animals but find it repulsive in human babies lol

Quality science maymay

Pathetic.

Who hurt you lol

My favorite thing about Russian is that most things translated to English sound so rude out of context, haha

Most of the speech sounds like aggressive dictation “Come over”, “Sit down”, which is such a stark contrast to the English manner of speech: “Do you think it might be possible if it doesn’t terribly trouble you to pass the salt?”

I also learned a little while ago that apparently this manner of speech is also seen as somewhat offensive in parts of Scandinavia because it’s seen as passive aggressive lol

Sneezing at a urinal must be terrible lmaoooo

Hahahahaha

It’s so weird how you can sneeze a million times and people will treat you like the panda meme, but a few coughs in the row and suddenly this quiet blanket of dread falls over the room like “Are they dying? Should we call the CDC?” 😂

I did this during the entire training day of one of my first jobs, and at the end my boss asked me if I’d ever been in the ROTC. I said no, having no clue what it was, until I looked it up later at home.

The job was BOH at a pizza joint 🫠

Neurodivergent peeps in this thread: 👀

Most British food, haggis, black pudding, kidney pie. Also tried marinated intestine once in Shanghai and got addicted to it, so now I’m always on the hunt for authentic Chinese restaurants that serve it.

Basically most offals or paste-like foods.

Xkcd is slowly becoming like The Simpsons, but for Lemmy.

Everywhere niche science or tech observation, “Xkcd did it” lol

Unironically yes lol

Not about to listen to supposed expertise from a comment that begins with “Bro yapping”, lmfaooo

Good news, so does ChatGPT lol
