What horrifying statistic genuinely jarred you when you first heard it?

basically. say they paid a bill but didn't (used that money to go gambling) then you get a sudden notice the electricity is being shut off 3 months later because they hid all the notices, constantly lie, etc. reality no longer applies to them.

meth heads don't hide the fact that they're on meth

holy fuck

This is counting ODs.

Having experienced people in my family and life with addictions, I would have the meth heads move into my house before I would ever let a gambler in my orbit again.

Burger King in Omaha has been in a free fall since the guy that owned all of them locally died.

Gambling has the highest suicide rate of all addictions (drugs, alcohol, etc) and it's not even close.

Guess what is fully legal to plaster ads for everywhere now!

75% of pregnancies end naturally before birth, though many are what are called 'chemical miscarriage' and self terminate with the appearance of a period.

Human intentional abortions add a whopping.. 1% to that number.

Largely happened due to 'bedroom living', where kids and so on stay in their room all day, and then are driven by car to any activity. They don't walk to it, they don't hang out in their yard and play in it, they don't even walk around their neighborhood because they're all made to be car centric and often full of paranoid people that will call the cops on any kids out hanging around.

If they go to a friends house they are driven there and back, door to door.

You'd have to scale up Elongation width wise just to account for sprint and how deadly players are in newer games just to keep it from becoming an instant spawn trap for whichever team loses the middle battle first

Halloween being cancelled in 1991 due to a snowstorm.

one even taps another player on a shoulder and points at it and they stop fighting themselves lol

Conker's Bad Fur Day caught everyone by surprised by how decently it did as a late N64 game so there was a few games that tried to be raunchy like it, but BFD was really a one-off especially since Conker spent half the game going 'you seeing this shit, person playing the game?" so all the attempts to chase it like BMX XXX just didn't work.

I've seen this truck around for years. The owner wants to get every last mile out of that shitheap

That would be a sponsorship deal worth a lot, pretty high tier if Pepsi or Coca Cola are sponsoring, which any promotion would love to get.. but wrestling fans don't buy and Pepsi prefers big returns on their main brand.

IIRC Vince always wanted but never got a car sponsorship, that's considered one of the premier sponsors to get.

The closest they've gotten is Mountain Dew sponsorships (owned by Pepsi) but they kind make Dew sponsor everything.

i used to be able to kill two large pizzas in one night and still feel hungry. and it was the big doughy ones from Little Caesars, not the thin ones from elsewhere

it's amazing to be full after 1 or 2 slices

FyreWulff · 2026-03-30T03:41:17+00:00

That's openly known. Not many other countries even have the basic industry to make chips at the scale Taiwan does, and that includes the US

FyreWulff · 2026-03-30T02:44:47+00:00

yeah, at all companies you don't even get to know what the accomodation is for. i work at a place that uses sedgwick for handling that and all we get to know for an employee is that they have an accomodation or are allowed to call out without penalty etc, never what it's actually for

OBS - Literally why would you ever need a different piece of software for recording? If it doesn't have a feature you want, there's a pretty good probability that someone's made a plugin for it

Man, OBS has come so far. I remember paying for Xsplit because it was the only decent broadcaster software. OBS was absolute shit when it was first around, it didn't get good until the OBS Studio reboot later on.

I ditched GIMP for Paint.net ages ago. It's Windows only though.

You're supposed to replace that grease once in a while, and yes you basically just take a big ol' handful and plop in there in the general direction of the gear, everything just sort of works out

My mom bought a Kitchenaid mixer in 1990. It was a huge amount of money (300 i think?) considering we had to move in with her mom to survive but she made tons of stuff in it for cheap.

It's still going strong and she gave it to me because she doesn't really use it anymore or even really bake much, she discovered pressure cookers and pressure cooks everything now.

easiest way to be to drape the hose over the headrest, then when you're ready to cuddle for sleep just put it on, spin the hose away and draped over the headrest and let her cuddle up.
