ShowerThoughts

All corn can’t become popcorn, the kernel’s skin in something like yellow corn is too thick. So after corn was domesticated another variety with thinner skin had to emerge before the first popcorn could be made.

Imagine just trying to roast the staple crop you’ve grown up eating and it suddenly explodes and turns into this feather light white fluffy thing. If I didn’t grow up knowing what popcorn was I don’t know what I’d think.

Google Maps or Apple Maps, they work the same way. With your permission, they detect your location and speed and collect all the information and can tell people relatively accurate traffic conditions.

So why does Weather go online to ask the temperature when you’re outside and it could just measure the actual temperature, collate all the data, and tell people the temperature it actually is?

Aside from the fact that most phones can’t tell the temperature around them. I mean if they could.

I’m starting to believe the authorities are lying to us about the heat. My car can tell me the temperature, and it’s usually like 5°F hotter than my phone says.

mods in .world removed it so I try my luck here

like when bees clean each other or humans comb the fur of their hampters

People say "your ass" in place of "you", "my ass" in place of "me", "his ass" in place of "him", and "her ass" in place of "her"

She would have immediately known the mysterious magic diary was Voldemort's and wouldn't have kept interacting with it. She probably would have given it to her parents and they probably would have sent it to Dumbledore to destroy

Am I the only one who thinks this is just hilariously idiotic?

Title says it all.

I'm not sure when or where this occurred, but at some point I just became less inclined to speak up on social media. I still do, of course, but now there's this little...cringe....inside of me whenever I do. The sarcasm, the gaslighting, the armchair 'experts' who seemingly exist just to punch holes in whatever opinion I have - this mean-spiritedness has made me far, far less likely to engage in most conversations online. And, I've watch this translate over into my offline life, as well. It seems like my world has become a gigantic minefield where every step could potentially blow up in my face from someone who somehow got offended by something I said, or someone who has made it their life's mission to correct every opinion I have. I just....stopped engaging, for the most part.

What's even worse is that I've found myself exhibiting the exact same sort of behavior from time to time. It's like social media is trying to train me to be argumentative and rude. Everyone tells me that it's 'just the way it is', but I can't help feeling like we can do better....or at least wishing that we could.

backstory is that i try to fill up my tank more when gas prices are at a low and less as prices go up to make my long term average cost per gallon lower.

now given current events, and empirical reality, gas has only been going up and will continue to go up. we could assume different curves(only constraint being that price per gallon goes up as time goes forward), but if you buy your gas now you will spend less money then you have if you bought it tomorrow, day after, or week down the road. my estimate is that it will be month minimum before it gets cheaper.

now that I have put this out there into the world you should fill up asap, I already filled up before making this post and other people will come up with this idea independently of me.

Who wants to imply their marriage is a joke?

Obviously those things suck no matter what day they happen on, but a lot of people’s first reaction to hearing about it is going to be immediately assuming (or at least wondering if) it’s a bad joke.

Due to social media, literally anyone with internet access and a loud voice has been able to get attention for any crackpot political opinion.

I never liked the analogy.

The french word for vagina is "vagin". IT IS MASCULIN.

We have been taken for fools! The charlattans in French linguistic departments are mocking us.

That would make our sinuses/brain cavity the attic and the tops of our heads the roof
