duz posted:put it on my cube wall at work to show what a fun place we are I bought a featureless obsidian cube from the weird lady at the swap meet that sells rocks and placed it prominently on the central pillar of the desk pod thing I sit at at work, in a little circular thing so it can appear to stand up on one point. If you're gonna put random garbage around your workspace you might as well make it weird vaguely-ominous random garbage and not BRANDS!!

was train diesel, diesel electric, full electric or steam??? e: I have a mold filled mason jar on my desk, mostly because I really don't want to open it. (the edibles creation method did not work) I like to think of it as an unexploded improvised biological warfare grenade. T-man has issued a correction as of 20:03 on Nov 20, 2019 |

Excuse the low quality, spotted this while stuck in traffic. Homeless person tented in front of the WeWork building in the Irish capital. Not an unusual sight, all around the offices of the financial and tech companies there's homeless living under bridges while the workers pass them by. The cranes in the background are building a hotel where social apartments were bought out and knocked down by the developer. The same hotel will rent some rooms out to the government to house homeless people because all the homes are being rented out to tourists on AirBnB.

There are ladles that "fling itself" out of bowls? How small a bowl are we talking here, any why would you need a ladle for them.

The other ladle I have is thin plastic for the bowl and metal for the handle, so it likes to escape pretty sizeable bowls

They make little wireless speakers specifically for this kinda thing, which you connect to your TV and then the speaker unit itself can sit right next to you on the table or w/e and doesn't have to be as loud plus the loudness is more localized. Techmoan did a video about one, but it's kinda expensive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn3hKbl9f-U I'm sure there's cheaper ones if you look around. I've been considering getting one for my mom cuz she's also slowly losing her hearing to old-ness.

The idea isn't to collect it just to collect it but to have barbie's kitchen stocked with real stuff.  the supermarkets in Australia have had these for a couple years, they even sell a display folder specifically for them. There are Facebook groups specifically for trying to complete the sets. These supermarkets are selling these lovely plastic trinkets while also shaming people for using plastic bags

Look at how adorably innocent and kind-hearted they are, why do you hate coal miners, I bet the real cause is india/china/cow farts anyway, America can't possibly be causing the whole world's problems"
