poo poo, I forgot about travois, I upgraded my trading post a while back and haven't seen any since.



Travois was a word that I assumed was in much wider use than it turned out to be. I find I still drop this word when describing something hauled in this manner and nobody knows what the gently caress I'm talking about.

It looks like Big Bang Theory was aggressively hatewatched in the first season and then from s2 onwards only the kind of person who likes big bang theory bothered to watch it. This also implies there might be a group of dedicated ashton kutcher haters who kept watching two and a half men in a rage for four seasons. I would at least hope that after twenty years of disappointment the original Simpsons fans aren't still watching it and it's a whole new generation of disappointed TV watchers getting mad about it online

Did you know the Ojibwe have a single word meaning "Ojibwe leans in hard on agglutination"? I think we can conclude a lot about their society from this

Related etymology that sounds too silly to be true:

To the Greeks, giraffes are just leopard-print camels, or kamelopardalis.

There's a wonderful little bird here in Australia called the pardalote, which just means spotted. But then a really spotted kind was discovered, which was named the spotted pardalote. So the spotted spotted.
They are quite hard to spot.

(And then there is a southern variant called the forty-spotted pardalote, which is a delightfully specific name)

This was immediately after he found out he was HIV positive. Or maybe right before? I can't remember and both would kinda make sense.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

Columbo's first pilot was in 1968 and its final episode aired in 2003.

It's not a bad guess.

Coronation Street started in 1960 and is still airing. They did their 10,000th episode in 2020.

sketchy colour scheme, imo. compare the difference between e.g. 7.4 and 7.7 vs 8.0 and 8.3. i think this makes some slow declines look a lot more sudden (like bob's burgers, which changes hue suddenly)

there's some bias here in that it only includes shows that are already long running, so presumably there may well be some long running hit shows that are just in their early good period before getting beaten to death over fifteen seasons. Except the ones on Netflix which will all get canned after 1-3 seasons regardless of quality

Does he know that you can just refrain from flushing the toilet until it is full enough to be economical to flush? German hippies have been doing that for decades.

Does anyone under the age of sixty fill and use the basin for daily ablutions?

I know that people used to rinse razors and such in standing water, and like plane lavatories have signs asking you to wipe down the basin after use, but it’s always been gross. Use running water from the faucet.

I do it when shaving because otherwise my beard hair clogs the drain and the basin fills up anyway.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
Let's correct their math. Currently in 2023, r/Sinkpissers has 28,000 members, not 4 million (lmao). They take an average of 7 pisses per day, but google tells me it's 6-7, and also, on average about one of those will be accompanied by a poop sesh that'll need flushing anyway, so that brings it down to ~5.5 flushes saved. 1.6 gallons is a standard toilet flush size, but some fraction of people will have lower-capacity toilets; but I'm too lazy to find data on that so I'll take that 1.6 gallons and be generous to them by slightly overestimating the sinkpisser savings. Therefore, the total Sinkpisser Savings is 28000 members * 5.5 pisses/(member-day) * 365.25 days/year * 1.6 gallons/piss = 90,000,000 gallons per year. Certainly not 22 billion.

To put that number in perspective: According to the US Geological Survey, in 2015, an average 322,000,000,000 gallons of fresh water were used every day in the United States. Obviously, not everyone in that subreddit is American, but most of them probably are, so I'm going to compare them to that. Using that number, the entire subreddit sinkpissing for an entire year accounts for a savings of 24 seconds worth of water saved.

80% of people in USA own lawns, and if r/Sinkpissers is a representative sample, they can save (very rough estimate) about eight times as much water by all pissing in the toilet like a normal human and those with lawns replacing their lawn with local plants that don't require watering.
