Huh, looks like they finally killed off the Snopes discussion forums. I used to drop by there occasionally but in the last few years after the Snopes founding husband and wife team divorced and Snopes got embroiled in a nasty legal dispute with his new business partners the forums turned to poo poo, membership dropped off and it became real obvious that no one was even bothering to moderate the forums any more so I stopped visiting.

 Just found out that the character "Tairy Green" is played by a comedic actor named Zack something or other, and is not in fact Robert Redford.

X-post from the weird news thread: One of the English translators of Asterix and many other bandes dessinées comics, Anthea Bell, also translated W.G. Sebald. Small world, smaller for some.

I've played (and beaten) Zelda 2 numerous times since it first released three decades ago, but just realized this the other day... The game over screen:  How I saw it:  What it really is:  A snout, because he's a big pig-demon I feel like a real dummy.

Jason Mantzoukas just played a character named Rafi on a show, he did not transition from writing children's songs about banana phones to portraying various crazed dirtbags.

Rafi lives on an island near me and I've gone there and gotten hugs from him, he's real and good and a huge children's and environmental advocate.

The juice boxes I bought for my work lunches have bendy straws, but they don't actually bend that well. I realized today that the bendy part is supposed to go inside the box, so the drinking end of the straw sticks straight out of the top, and the remainder angles into the bottom corner, so you can get every last drop of that delicious fruit punch. Yes, I am a 31 year old man who buys juice boxes for himself.

Allow me to clarify with pictures. After piercing the foil:  Inserting the straw further and trying to bend it upright, it immediately folds back down:  With the bendy bit inside the box:

That might work but the reason they use bendy straws is mostly so they can't fall or be pushed into the box.

I mean, I'd been believing he'd been piercing the lid with the long end then pulling it out and shoving the short end through the hole and drinking with the pointy long end in his mouth, so this is at least an improvement.

Much like a chimpanzee using a long stick to get at the tasty tasty termites inside the nest, you can reach all the juice with either end of the straw with a little bit of effort

If you tilt the box, magic will gather the tasty sugar liquid in one corner of the tetra pak and you can just put the pointy end into that corner and suck

The pointy end comes to a stop at the flat bottom of the box unless it's maneuvered into place like I demonstrated in the last picture. Perhaps it's just that certain brand? Whatever, I've spent far too long thinking about juice boxes today. I'm going to go make a pizza now with gummy bear and mini M&M toppings.

You're opening the French side of the box while thinking in English. All juice box mockery aside, I get a craving for Five Alive (aka Déli-cinq  ) about once a year. I'm sure it's almost entirely nostalgia, but I don't see why I got to talk my brain's pleasure circuits into not working on a technicality.

Everyone in school always tore the top of the box open to chug it faster because we only got a 10 minute lunch break and there was 3-4 minutes left by the time you got to a table. Still feels weird to actually use the straw.

So what's the life hack for getting a straw into the Capri Sun pouch without stabbing it straight through the back and into your finger?
