jojoinnit posted:Don't remember who said it but there's a very correct line about how the only difference between crazy and eccentric is money. It's come up in Discworld every now and again. It's like rabbits in Australia are literally just because of some British gently caress who wanted familiar things to shoot. StillFullyTerrible posted:One of my favorite facts about the mirror test is that gorillas pass the test, but a silverback gorilla will still engage in threat posturing at his own reflection, because while that is probably just him in the mirror, he cannot be 100% sure that it's not another silverback pretending to be his reflection Are they sure he isn't just practicing

Holy poo poo, the tweet they linked to in the article is pretty damning (be sure to expand the pics): https://twitter.com/princessana319/status/1308161625535459328 (Also looks like Vice mixed up white/black in that tweet, unsurprisingly the algorithm prefers white faces.)

The rat I used to wipe told me that cleaning the little chunks out of my arse hairs was the worst thing it had ever had to do and that the world would be better if I had no anus.

You should see the India/Pakistan daily border closing ceremony, it's amazing. National grudges really do get that petty. (Historical trauma not helping at all. Blame the British, as usual)

Indians on social media are also weird. They ask "why are foreign media spreading hate about our country" and then they have a dozen posts abut how Islam is a death cult and why cow eaters need to be executed.

It's kind of sad that India's going down the path of religious nationalism. Pakistan's been at it for a while longer, with giant mobs forming whenever there's a rumor that someone may have potentially disrespected Islam in some way.

Blame the British, as usual) the border crossing ceremonies are the least bad thing about that rivalry, though. they have bleachers for audiences & it looks like theyre having fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12cBeHhvMA8 e: and to me, the doorbell pranks go under that as well. lets off steam you know?
