A few months ago @[email protected] regularly posted cucumber shitposts, usually some kind of pun with an image of uncomfortably detailed pickles. Today, I noticed food additive E412, made from guar beans, is often called "guar seed flour" in German (Guar-kern-mehl). This sounds a lot like like "cucumber-flour" (Gurken mehl), so I edited an image to show what that may look like.

Sorry to say, reality is disappointing, as E412 just looks like any gray powder and has nothing to do with cucumbers.

I just take a nice, relaxing ride on my bicycle to a nearby park instead.

The ducks have learned about this habit and leave me alone now, fearing for their eardrums.

Hab das meinen Neffen erzählt und wenn er mit den gespielten Rauchen aufhört, spende ich ihm die tolle Fruchtschorle, die in einer bunten Sektflasche kommt.

No one hates a particular religious group quite like the people whose own religion is 99.9% identical to theirs (e.g. Catholic vs. Protestant)

I know about the 30 years war and whatnot, and it might have been necessary to at least mention the Troubles as a partially religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants that spawned the biggest terrorist attacks in the UK, or perhaps more noteworthy the relationship between Sunni and Shia Muslims and their majority countries...

But be fucking for real. If the West just doesn't care about religion any more, we wouldn't have religious discrimination. Do Catholics get more assaulted for their Religion than Muslims in the US? Are South American Catholics absolutely viscous when it comes to Christian Heretics but the same people are tolerant to Vodou? Are there any Evangelical Terror attacks in Kenya I missed?

You are denying reality justifying this.

I once bit of a piece of sausage, quickly noticed it was too hot to chew, and decided in my infinite wisdom that the best way to handle this situation was to swallow the unchewed piece. It was too big to go down on its own, but whatever self preservation reflex kicked in also took forever to make it go back up, so I had enough time to decide I didn't want to make a scene at the dinner table, so I had to force it down by swallowing more and more spit to make my esophagus move the right way again. Pretty sure alternative reality me chocked on that.

Almost impossible to make a series of worse decisions in my lifetime.

Here Is Everything That Has Changed Since Congestion Pricing Started in New York

I really don't like how, whenever there is an article on something that works, people feel the need to post whatever solution they prefer and say it's better.

This project had 2 goals - reduce pollution and raise revenue for transit upgrades. It succeeded. Better than a tram would have on it's own, I might add.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good, if you want to share that video so much, just post it, instead of linking it with that downer of a comment.

Should get a discount or something

"Don't you hate it when you walk into a grocer and they expect you to pick out the items yourself? I don't work here, I just want to say "1 pound of ham and 2 loafs of bread" at the clerk, pay and pick them up. I've been to this new Piggley Wiggly, can't find anything, spent like an hour to find beans. Imagine if I was paid for that time, I would have made 15¢!"

OP in 1925, probably.

Was nicht alles in der Zeitung landet. Dieser große Textblock gefolgt vom ungefährem Wert hat mich dann doch zum Schmunzeln gebracht.

Mensch, was machen wir noch hier? Schmeißt diese Gesellschaft weg und startet nochmal von vorn, Gerangel und Zeitungsartikel für unter 10€. Mir wurde das 5 Fache in meiner Schulzeit entwendet, und ich habe nie Texte darüber in irgendwelchen Medien veröffentlicht. Kevin, ich weiß dass du es warst!
