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

Talk about "unrealistic" beauty standards!

Ok real talk why aren't banks open on weekends. That doesn't seem right

It's always so embarrassing to see a drama show kill it's main character... Like sorry but it's giving declining ratings 💅

Do you think Mike Collins ever held any resentment over being the one guy on Apollo 11 that didn't get to walk on the moon? I would be sooooo pissed if that were me. After we got back to earth I probably couldn't even look at Neil and Buzz without steam coming out of my ears

There's something odd imo about the concept of priests/rabbis/imams etc retiring. Like you're dedicating your life to God and telling people how important he is and then your like "alright well I'm out, y'all have fun with that tho"?? It just doesn't sit right with me

Do you think TV actors get a thrill out of being the one who gets to say "Previously on..." at the start of episodes? I like to imagine they play rock paper scissors to decide and the loser gets really pouty

Warty Leaf Beetle in all its glory. A focused stacked image to show all of the lumps and bumps and textures of this amazing little beetle. (Neochlamisus sp.)

Over-ripe cicada bursting at the seams #inverts

Watching How to Get Away with Murder and this show has some of the most atrocious character pairings I've EVER seen in a show 😭 I can't tell whether they picked intentionally bad pairing or just threw darts at a board to see who hooks up 😭

While they're at it they should also make an editing software that isn't painful to use but also isn't ad*be l*ghtroom

madder red clouds #art #photo #photography #sky #evening #clouds #EastCoastKin #silhouette ©️skinskin

Someone should invent a "pop" slider for photo editing software where if you increase the slider it makes the photo "pop" more

Does anyone have recommendations for a good company to ship a car across the country?

Risk-averse and boilerplate are my two favorite genres of media

I'm a pretty big movie fan and I watch a lot of them but I will never ever predict a plot twist no matter how obviously telegraphed.i just always take a movie at it's word like yeah ok that checks out 🙂 wait... Oh my god 🤯
