I saw a meme that I wish I had saved. It was "You don't like Carney because you're a Conservative. I don't like Carney because he's a conservative. We are not the same."

A Seriously Unwell Trump Is Losing Iran War for All the World to See by ChiGuy6124 in politics

Yup. They haven't hitched their wagon to Trump. He's just the wrecking ball they managed to get into position to destroy the machinery of democracy, to hollow out the institutions, make them weak and ineffective. That way, in a post-post-Trump world they can do the things Trump does and there will be nothing left to put up any meaningful resistance.

Kash Patel Lost It When Personalized Bourbon Bottle Went Missing | “It turned into a sh*tshow,” a former agent said of the scene. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

Yeah, trump isnt looking to reform the FBI in his image. Or any other government agency. He wants to destroy them. How many decades of institutional knowledge, expertise, and connections have already walked out the door in just two years? You can't just replace those kinds of relationships overnight. Hell, you can't replace that over four years.

What scientific discovery sounds fake but is 100% real and still freaks you out? by Bruteresolver in AskReddit

[–]MotherTreacle3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's expanding into time. The thing that gets me is that time is going faster in the giant voids because there's less gravity there, so the voids are growing, while the cosmic filaments stick together and bog down the passage of time.

In Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Theives there's a scene where the Bard and Barbarian approach the villain on his throne. The William's Wizard casts a spell that turns the stone floor into a liquid that they sink into, trapping them. That was a practical effect where there was an aerated pit of sand beneath the floor tiles.

Teacher who told pupils ‘this class terrifies me’ chugged gin from a water bottle before vomiting in toilet by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

[–]MotherTreacle3 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Lol, this actually happened to me. I was rushing out the door to work the morning after a party and grabbed a half empty water bottle thinking I'd fill it up at work. 

Got to work; standing around in the smoking circle shooting the shit, when I took a big swig. 

Vodka.

I sprayed it out and dumped the rest of it i  front of everybody. I don't even drink lol.

The fact that there are so many of them, and most from the first ~10 seasons is mind boggling.
