I was under direct orders not to die
🐵❌💀

I lived in a complete shithole of an apartment before buying my house, and we had flour beetles infest our food. You do not want to eat anything they have touched. I cannot describe what they taste like, but it's by far the worst thing on the planet. It's overwhelmingly strong, very sour, and the taste stays in your mouth for hours. I have never come across anything that smells or tastes anything like them except maybe varnish. If there is even one beetle or larva in your cookie, the entire thing is ruined. Ruined.

I've been told that "vagina bones" is meant as a humorous term. It's still really dumb, of course.

A girl I know pointed out the male equivalent of these, and claimed they were known as 'cock slides'. That term has always amused me.

Can you explain this funny tweet? I don't understand it because I am not a bookworm.

Even considering how convenient it is to have a device that can hold hundreds of books the batteries on those things last for something like 20 goddamn hours. I'm sure you can find time to charge it during then.

Usually the same people who hold books (all books regardless of content) as sacred objects. The type who see this



as desecration. Who think that the bad thing about book burning is the physical destruction of books rather than the underlying censorship. Who talk about having so many books because they can't bear to get rid of them. And who for some reason never seem to talk about any books they've read recently, just about how they reread Lord of the Rings or Pride and Prejudice at least once a year and how little time they have for TV/movies/video games.

If you turn wireless off you won't need to recharge for days. Weeks even, depending on how much you use them.

Its funny, I have a friend who reads hundreds of books a year (no exaggeration)and works in a library. Yet she never posts a single meme about how ebooks are terrible or shits on other people's tastes in novels. To her, reading is something she loves and enjoys, and not a status symbol or replacement for a personality.

Ebooks are better because you can read them on the train and that oval office halfway down the carriage can't judge you because he doesn't know what you're reading.

Again, personal preference. Maybe you want everyone to know that you're nearly finished Mein Kampf.

Just cut the cover off a respectable book and glue it over whatever you're actually reading. Problem solved.

Fun fact: If you buy a book in a store in Japan, they'll include a slip-on cover for it so you can read it on the train without getting judged.
