If you just sit still and turn the steering wheel back and forth you're grinding one spot on your tires into the pavement. If you do it a lot it can wear the tires unevenly and shorten their lifespan.

Yeah, but when you get to a parking spot, the chances of you being at the same spot in the tires as last time is miniscule.

There was the trend of making your legs longer so you’d be taller, at the cost of being unable to walk comfortably ever again

Wouldn't... That make your legs look disproportionately long in comparison to the rest of your body?

I remember something similar happening to me as a kid on one of those concrete half-pipe-sled things (cannot recall for the life of me what the name was) when I got rammed into from behind and knocked off the sled at speed onto the concrete while wearing shorts. I wasn't very happy that summer.

Yeah, it looks like medibot hasn't posted since 2015.
For some reason the thing that stands out the most to me from back then is the Coldstone Creamery thing, but that thing has long since disappeared off the internet.

Iirc a whole bunch of the bigger LPers left after the Shmorky debacle, namely how Lowtax 'dealt' with it, leading to... I think PsychedelicEyeball saying it was not cool having his daughter be part of it.

As a tiny child I once got swarmed by a flock of geese and my tiny little 110lb mother charged in like an avenging angel, grabbed a goose in each hand by the neck and used those geese as weapons against the other geese.

I'm fairly certain that I could defeat a goose if I so chose to do so. Even if i'm not a mother.

Dual-wielding goose flails sounds like something that should be viable in Dark Souls.

If it's anything like previous buttcoin stuff, it means that the people who are trying to sell their butts are actually a secret evil cabal trying to manipulate the price by selling, and that means that if you buy their coins for the price they're asking you're actually defeating them in glorious battle

This year the Utah legislature passed an anti-trans bathroom bill. It says that people must use the bathroom that corresponds to their birth sex in government buildings. It also mandated that the Utah Auditor's office investigate reports of violations of this law. An online reporting tool was created for people to submit alleged violations. It's going about as well as you'd expect.

tldr is: "We're lovely people who passed a lovely law and people are griefing it by submitting 4000 false complaints over a couple of days which the government is now required to investigate."

Good!
