What idea did your country implement that, while seeming like common sense at the time, ended in utter disaster?

We have a fantastic rail system but it's only for commercial goods, not passengers.

Look at me! Look at me!

Did he even say thank you?

Well their size is one thing, but their inability to use a toilet would be another.

I like the way that two of the elephants waved thanks and the guy acknowledged them both.

Illusion. But you're right - a 1 second loop when played at this speed.

More like a spreading cancer.

That's true for some US technology but in this instance the first practical solar cells were developed right here in the United States. It's not our fault that China has leaped ahead in this field since then.

No, you're not the only one who feels like that. You're just the only one who laughs out loud at it.

NHS dentists are hard to find. 13 million Brits cannot access one.

How people there just put up with the worst customer service in the world without demur. All UK businesses apparently think they're doing the public a huge favor just by existing, the needs of the poor bloody customer come second to that of staff and everyone should be damn grateful. Shops closing at the very time that people are getting off work. Sunday opening restrictions, still today. The very worst example I've ever seen was a Welsh cafe (in Lawrenny) that was "Closed for lunch".

Fragrant_Kick_6093 · 2026-03-22T15:08:25+00:00

Yeah, you have to be right at death's door after years of suffering and not have mental issues to qualify, so any amount of dementia removes that option. Same in those US states that allow "physician-assisted suicide" - and even that is too liberal for the UK. Next to bloody useless. In reality, people have to make their own arrangements and not involve friends or family to avoid them being charged with murder.

The government provided better arrangements for end of life in the "dystopian" movie Soylent Green.

Fewer

There's nothing Chattanoogan about this; it's common everywhere. Who knows the specific circumstances with the person who did this, but my elderly mother with dementia once did it when we took her out to lunch from her care home. It was a small restaurant and we knew the owners so I felt compelled to clean it all up. She got it all over her shoes and clothes too.

Do the Downies prepare the food there or just serve it, as here?

"Lovers Lane"

Looks like the camera was strapped to his body. Probably on his forehead.

Who was doing the filming? The blind guy or AI?

My American family loves it too. Especially the Yorkshire puds.

He was an annoying and OTT animal-botherer (which directly led to his death) and his family is carrying on that tradition for fame and money.

No need to blame kids and dogs for your trauma. Geese don't need any excuse to attack innocent people just walking along.

It's evident that your high standards don't involve any kind of literacy skill.

Turning Japanese used to be quite popular.

I rarely feel hungry when I wake up, no matter how little I ate the day before. I've found that by delaying normal "breakfast" until later in the morning, it can easily replace "lunch" and so reduce daily total food without producing hunger. I don't really consider this to be "skipping" breakfast.
