Auritech posted:This one has always been my favorite, and it's from Reuters, too. I recall there was some lovely Christian internet newspaper that grabbed that article, but since it was a conservative Christian website, it had an automatic word filter that changed every instance of the word "gay" to "homosexual". Because...? Tyson Homosexual

Aesop Poprock posted:A story that's basically "A duck was around" on what appears to be the front page of a newspaper. I feel like you would die of boredom even accidentally passing over whatever town that is in an airplane Don't know about you, but a duck hanging out and just being cool while I'm working would pretty much be the highlight of my day. In my defense, my job is boring as hell.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Isn't that basically how some actual languages work? Sure, but the idea of a spacefaring civilization not having a native word for "table" is a bit ridiculous. My personal favorites are German and Chinese: Feuerzeug is German for "lighter" (as in cigarettes), and literally means "fire-thing". In Mandarin, a lot of adjectives (which also function as verbs!) are compounds with 好 hǎo, "good", such as: 好吃 hǎochī "tasty", lit. "good eat", 好笑 hǎoxiào "funny", lit. "good laugh". Languages are cool as heck. venus de lmao has a new favorite as of 14:09 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Per the Boston thread, it was something like 30 scared, crying Nazis escorted away by police after huddling on the Common surrounded by 30,000+ angry counter-protestors. I kind of wish I was there but my car was totaled by a hay bale so I went and visited my dad and grandma instead.

quote:"We'd had a really nice evening," he said. "We'd had a meal at a well-known chicken restaurant, had a few beers and then gone back to mine for a bottle of wine and a film." I love this. The editor replaced the name of the restaurant with the phrase "a well-known chicken restaurant"* and then went and left the caption referring to the "post-Nando's incident" untouched. * At least I hope this was some editor's attempt to save the restaurant from the notoriety of being in the headlines for the Tinder Poo Date, because the alternative, that a dude would just say "we went to a well-known chicken restaurant" and not say which one, is too hilarious to contemplate.

Similar in that it's the same tier of casual dining. Nando's has a great story. Portuguese-born Fernando Duarte takes entrepreneur friend to a restaurant, they try chicken cooked in piri piri sauce and like it so much that they just buy the goddamn restaurant outright.

I'm not giving that lovely clickbait the traffic, but the headline is ridiculous. How does the average millennial spend ninety-six billion dollars on anything? Just loving lol if you think milennials have money. E: I caved and clicked on it. It's actually "all milennials collectively spend $96b annually on food" but the author is a smug idiot pandering to the kind of smug idiot boomers who think that wanting affordable education and a living wage is just laziness and entitlement. Who needs things like "accuracy" or "basic journalistic integrity" when you have the self-congratulatory ego masturbation of a thousand clicks and shares from people your dad's age who lost touch with the world in 1975 and think everything still works the way it did when they were 30 and already had a house, kids, a fully paid off car, and a guaranteed pension. venus de lmao has a new favorite as of 21:21 on Sep 18, 2017 |
