Taco Bell is great because a multi multi billion dollar company somehow managed to lack the foresight to realize that "purple and millennial gray" is potentially the least appetizing color scheme to rebrand a fast food restaurant to

Q: why did the cardiologist think she needed hearing aids? A: every time she tried to listen to a heart all she heard was murmuring!

Why did hats lose popularity in the past few decades? Nobody wears hats like they used to

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised

Lack of healthcare explains American vulnerability to basically the entirety of the "wellness industry" (chiropractors, bullshit supplements, ivermectin for covid, homeopathy, etc). There is no point to asking a chatbot or a chiropractor for help when you have easy access to a real doctor

Ok so like. Urinals are objectively bad, right? They don't take up that much less space than a normal stall, which can be used for both urinating and defecating instead of just urinating. Overall less utility in exchange for very questionable improvements in efficiency, right?

They should implement the ability to edit other people's posts before they implement the ability to edit your own posts

We should start describing historical price comparisons in both directions, not just past to present. It's great and all to describe a $20 camera from 1894 and explain what it would cost in today's money, but why don't we ever qualify discussions of a modern $5k camera to what it would cost in 1894?

Psychiatric meds are great because you have exactly 2 options which are A) serotonin pathway modulation and B) dopamine pathway modulation. It's really that simple

I'm glad tech companies are integrating AI In such innovative ways like "loosely summarizing posts in a sentence". This vastly improves my online experience now that I don't have to bother looking at the posts on the platform you made for me. This is absolutely worth tens of billions of dollars

"a watched pot never boils" is patently false btw. You should definitely keep watching that pot. It's going to start boiling any minute now. I promise.

Can scientists or philosophers explain why the Outlook mobile app sucks soooooo bad

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Is it just me or has the popularity of singing "la la la" in songs dropped off dramatically in the past decade or two?

Being a historian in ancient times must have been so boring. Like what do you even have to work with? Last week??

I love when YouTubers ask me to share my comments or opinions in the comments below. Like aww you care what I think? Little ol' me? 🥺

The biggest mistake that guy who flew too close from the sun made was that he wanted to experience flying for himself. He would probably still be alive if he just experienced it through his father icariously

@themountaingoats.bsky.social do you have a favorite song or favorite band/musician? Are you even able to pick just one? I'm curious what my favorite artists' favorite artists and favorite arts are

what do you mean the stranger things documentary shows them writing the script on a computer with 3 chat gpt tabs open

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

“you get back here or so help me I’ll…”

my last giant(ish) centipede had a clutch of babies a few months ago, here she is cuddling them right after they hatched

Mr. Spotted Towhee just hanging out and being handsome. #birds #becurious 🪶

Plastic can last for centuries in the environment, which can be terrible for the ecosystem. Thankfully there is a much quicker alternative for getting rid of plastics: burning them in an incinerator

Parents, be vigilant- I'm hearing reports that people have been hiding razor blades in fireworks. Make sure to check your kid's fireworks before you let them fire them off in the driveway. Safety comes first

Tip for getting through the cold winter months: front-load your warmth to get you through the rest of the day. Heating yourself to 576°F for just one hour at the start of the day will give you the equivalent warmth of 72° per hour for the next 8 hours— plenty enough to get through most workdays

Followers who have been in Washington, I beseech you: recommend me good Mt Rainier trails for hiking ideally less than 3 hours

Is it a hot take to say "modernized"/pop-y covers of classic holiday songs are atrocious without fail and famous musicians should stop making them?

Has anyone else noticed that time seems to be passing faster lately? What's that about?what's going on?

Jars of food from the store are too hard to open. A food company could make millions from selling food in jars that have already had their seal broken

Why is "green" the color of sickness? People don't actually turn green when they're sick

Why is "palindrome" not, itself, a palindrome? Seems like a pretty egregious oversight

@google maps free enshittification idea for you: program the directions so that the ETA shown to the user is a little bit later than the actual ETA so users always think that they end up making good time and getting to their destinations earlier

So I guess Texas A&M lost to Texas B&C&D&E&F&G&H&I&J&K&L&N&O&P&Q&R&S&T&U&V&W&X&Y&Z?

I absolutely decry unrealistic beauty standards in women, but I do actually support surrealistic beauty standards. The ideal woman's body is one that's contorted and distorted into bizarre forms, covered in colors and patterns that render her almost unrecognizable

I've found that double-exposing film is actually a great hack for saving money in an already expensive hobby. I can take twice as many pictures with the same amount of film!

Photography fact: the "noise" you see when you use high ISOs in dark settings isn't noise, it's ghosts. You aren't changing the signal:noise ratio when increasing ISO, you're changing the signal:ghost ratio. Take a photo with high enough ISO and you might even be able to make out faces in the dark..

My toxic trait is that I put the "P.S." section of a letter/email BEFORE my signature, not after

That’s not who’s supposed to be at the end of the tunnel!

People say that many of the most compelling villains are ones whose motives are understandable to some degree. Using this principle I will endeavor to create the most compelling villain ever seen, by making them unequivocally good and justified in both their motives and means

Ok so what are the ethics of befriending urban/suburban crows and ravens? My gut says to keep wild animals wild but I've heard people say that they're already so synanthropic that it doesn't really make a difference

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd that most tv news chyrons don't include the date? Like sometimes it'll include the time of day but never the actual date?? It seems like a very glaring omission

Million dollar idea: a top-loading dishwasher

A few #RainbowWings from yesterday early evening. Nice colors, I think 🌈 👀 #birds #backyardbirds #hummingbirds

Of course I'm gonna put all my eggs in one basket. Why spend the effort of having to carry a second basket if I don't have to?

How the hell do people drive without blindspot mirrors. I'm driving a rental car and it feels genuinely unsafe how hard it is to tell if I'm going to run into another car if I try to merge
