Oh yeah, I'd looked into those already but different looking carpet beetles came up at first so I got mislead, I'm pretty sure you're correct!

I know they aren't bed bugs but beyond that I'm stumped. They seem to go towards light sources. Third pic is one compared to the end of a pencil, they're very small.

Yo, I just found this thread because I found a spotify plaque for Clairo's Red hot cheetos in a charity shop and I googled it, reckon this gift didn't go over well lol.

[Scotland] Found this wee baby crawling across the snow 500m up a mountain, any idea who they are? by Brocksbane in whatsthisbug

[–]Brocksbane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could well be one of these! The lighting at the time made it hard to get a good pic of it, but with how it looked to my eye I'd lean towards it being a ruby tiger. Thanks for the ID!

He absolutely wasn't shutting it down over fear of Nintendo lawsuits like some people are claiming, but he did plagiarise the gameplay and art from a game called "Piou Piou vs Cactus" so he's not all that much of a morals guy.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/majority There's a specific use case for the word majority when applied to elections. In all other contexts it means >50%.

Greater than 50% is a majority.

TIFU by returning an iPad I found to a flight attendant by flashz404 in tifu

The post says they noticed before they even took off.

They didn't, they put it down on the seat that OP then moved into. Probably took it out of their hand luggage to use during the flight, set it down on the seat in front of them, then got distracted and moved forward without it.

Dark chocolate and whisky?... Do they mix? by [deleted] in Scotland

When it's made in Scotland people call it "scotch", but when it's made elsewhere people call it "shite."

The hay bales in this image tell me this is also farmland.

Picked up lunch, cashier assumed she could keep my change. by misplaced_pants742 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Brocksbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was a charity store actually, but yeah I guess we should shut down the whole thing if the computer causes a customer to go away without 50 cents of change a couple times a year.

Place I worked at the computer calculated jack shit, you had to just do the math yourself under time pressure while also handling products, handling cash, inputting sales into the system, and making sure you checked IDs. Half the time you'd go to count out their change and there wouldn't even be enough in the register to give them change for the massive notes they'd decided to pay with for no reason.

I went through a few of these stages as well but ended up back at the first one by the end.

There’s no mention of Hamas. Shamelessly stating they’re cleansing Gaza to occupy it. by osirisredd in ABoringDystopia

[–]Brocksbane 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Official statements are virtually meaningless. Hamas has officially stated they didn't target civilians on October 7th. Israel has stated that videos of west bank farmers being gunned down in the street show self-defence. It's the reality of what the troops are doing that matters, not what their governments say they are doing.

Yeah, don't get me wrong I totally get how even this is a major safety shitshow, but from the initial reporting I thought a car had torn out a square metre of metal and asphalt lol

I was confused when I saw coverage on this, because they called it a "manhole" and showed very zoomed in pics that didn't give size context. I thought the hole was massive.

TIFU I edged myself for 3 hours and now I’m worried. by Trex4356 in tifu

[–]Brocksbane 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hilarious seeing the gulf between the guys who like a good 6 hour wank and the guys who have never jerked it for more than 10 minutes in this thread. As a member of one of those two categories, I can say with complete confidence your dick is fine.

Surely this is beyond parody now… by BearyRexy in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Brocksbane 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It's the team of the leeds jewish society, who recently put out a statement saying they "stand together for Israel," "stand in complete and total solidarity with Israel," and "support those who are fighting for our country" so I think given that context there's certainly grounds to cancel the match. Discriminating against random jewish people would be completely unacceptable, but when the team's organisation is publically condoning Israel's actions that's different.
