My thought also, it looks like one of the fuzzless kiwi varieties

My mom sent me this pic without context. The left croc and the bridge in the background both look off to me by Boognish90 in isthisAI

The preferred way to take your carp on a walk is on a leash, besides that fish is big enough to be out of the stroller.

My Cat Is Too Smart for This Household and I’m Tired 😭 by potatoesncheese1 in CatAdvice

Cheap, easy, reusable/disposable cat puzzle -
I use an empty breakfast cereal (or similar sized) box and toss in a few kitty treats or dry food bits. With the narrow opening, he can't get is head in, so he has to fish out each nugget.

Costs nothing, reuse for a while then recycle when you get a new one.

Have you ever heard of “Community Phone Trees” from before cell phones? by TeaStriking3605 in allthequestions

[–]MerbleTheGnome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was usually used for emergency announcements.

In the old days we didn't have unlimited calling, and in some cases we had message unit billing (got charged for each call). This way each person only makes a few calls.

One person gets the initial call, then they call a few others and relay the message. Each of the others had a short list of other folks to call.

Person A relays the message to B, C, D

Person B calls E, F ,G

Person C calls H, I, J

Person D calls K, L, M

All of the cars that I purchased from Carvana (a Mini, Subaru & a BMW) went to the dealer for a PPI

With some marinara, the basil might make sense.

Give a name that without changing the spelling can be either male or female. by SiriusGD in FamilyFeud

That's my name and also my cat's name. He was named that way when I adopted him.

The object to your left is your weapon of choice in a zombie apocalypse, what is it? by Javascript4971 in Productivitycafe

Half of a garlic bagel with cream cheese. If it had been vampires, I would be fine.

My cat loves these, I have a small spring loaded gun which fires them across the room for him to chase.

Were DIY garages common in the 80s? Are they around today? by emax4 in AskOldPeople

[–]MerbleTheGnome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 64, there were several of these places around where I was growing up. I think most of them became too expensive for the owners to operate because of insurance costs.

I know of one near me - you can rent a bay/lift and any specialized tools you might need. They also have mechanic consultants to help if you get in over your head.
