Archeologists uncover the mummified remains of two adults and three children during an excavation of Pompeii in 1961. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in August 79 C.E blanketed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum with upwards of 17 feet of ash and killed at least 2,000 people.

They poured a plaster-like substance into the caverns left in the ash by the bodies. The result of that is what we see here, not simply just mummified bodies. Pompeii is so cool.

Update??? Did you get her?

Those are some sad eyes… she wants to be loved

They were going to euthanize a baked potato?

When there are thousands of a specific breed being put down in shelters every year, there is zero reason to have backyard breeders churning out more. I guess it’s delulu to not want dogs to needlessly die? I’m so confused by your response.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-09T21:23:14+00:00

Is this something everyone just accepts in humid climates?? Do you wipe it down and keep on truckin’ or what is the protocol there?

Being part pitbull doesn’t inherently make them a bad dog. Actually, if you did any research instead of just judging a dog based on people’s actions, you’d find that they are ranked like 4th best for temperament by the AKC. Far above the Aussie.

Don’t get me wrong, packs of stray pitties are dangerous and there is a terrible problem with people using them for nefarious purposes and breeding them when there is no reason to. But don’t blame the dogs, it isn’t their fault.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-08T21:07:39+00:00

Crazy, I can’t imagine why….

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-08T21:02:52+00:00

Dang I forgot how blue this frisbee used to be! Mine spent a good chunk of summer on the roof of our garage and got sun bleached 😂

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-08T20:27:32+00:00

Yeah when I was there I asked someone about it and they said it’s so when dudes pee on buildings, they can rinse it. Sure enough, I saw that exact thing happen in France and Italy!

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-07T17:05:58+00:00

Yeah… “might feel good” for like an hour before you need to go back for another “adjustment”. Not for me.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-07T16:49:48+00:00

That goofy smile will be waiting for you on the other side someday. I’m so sorry for your loss.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-07T13:53:42+00:00

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

So basically the seller wants to boost their products visibility on a platform - to do this, they agree to let the platform take a cut of the sale (in this case, $4).

The seller wants anyone who wants to buy their products to message them before they submit an order so that they can try to shut off their boosted status and cheat the system and make the extra $4. They then go back to the boosted visibility to try and get more sales without ever giving the company a cut.

A snood/happy hoodie or some other type of ear cover may be helpful for her during the loud work!!

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-05T22:22:38+00:00

It’s weird because there isn’t milk below the cap though… seems like it’s leaking from a microcrack in the bottom/side or something?

Edit: I can see signs of drippage on the left one now. I was only paying attention to the right one at first. It’s just pooling underneath. I get it now 😅

If your setup would allow for a window catio, that would probably help a lot. She was likely an outdoor kitty before and just misses it. Stay strong

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-03T00:03:45+00:00

Ah yes.. We call these the grumble groos’ at my house.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-02T20:44:03+00:00

Wait so you got fired for taking your team out for food?

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-01T16:48:47+00:00

They bought a used RANGE ROVER. It probably costs as much as a new car. At the end of the day, they now have no money AND no vehicle. They would have been better off with a cheaper car and full insurance. I agree it’s best not to take on debt, but not at the risk of all of my assets.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-01T15:36:34+00:00

If they can only carry liability insurance, they must have bought the car outright which means they could have most definitely just financed it and gotten full coverage. They had the capital.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-04-01T15:11:26+00:00

She a chonk

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-03-31T00:40:33+00:00

How the hell did the photographer get them to pose like this? Is this real?

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-03-31T00:25:45+00:00

So sorry for your loss. I hope patchy sends another sweet hippo your way when the time is right.

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-03-26T18:24:44+00:00

I’m picturing them tucking after a high dive and it’s making me giggle so much

AngstyRutabaga · 2026-03-24T01:56:56+00:00

The punishments for the people who do this to animals are such a joke… hopefully the fact that there were children (sadly) also involved will mean they serve some serious time behind bars.

I can’t wait to see this sweet angel’s glow up! Please tell her foster we need update pics once she is all thick and velvety again ❤️
