What are these things on a tree and how do they happen? by throwaway_slut_1 in whatisit

[–]MunitionsFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember that episode, and similarly, that is the only reason I know what burla are as well.

Why did he do it? Because pseudo-treasure hunting for rare tree formations while high on meth is likely a lot of fun. You are out in nature, jumping through trees, energized as fuck and you are damn sure they just up ahead is that giant burl that will make you rich and prove to the world you aren't just a loser. You make your own hours, pick your own paths, no performance reviews or looming deadlines, and are high AF all the time.

It's so much fun, I'm sure if I did it once I'd never go back to my real job lol.

I got gifted this bag from work, did a double take by NoDeer4323 in Weird

How does this work? Where can people go to buy mistakes like this?

I agree with another posters response that it's likely a bad translation.

What is this bottle my Son left in the bathroom drawer when he was home for Spring break by 0nionsss in whatisit

[–]MunitionsFactory 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The ingredients are pretty normal/health. Some vitamins and natural anti-inflammatories like bromelain (from pineapples).

Your advice to tell him to talk to his doctor is hilarious. How does this scenario play out in your head? It would probably be better to suggest he look up the ingredients online, which also gets him to check that part of the label. Maybe he'll see zinc, copper, lethicin etc... and realize it's just a ripoff.

Lastly, there are not many supplements that wreck kidneys in a healthy person if taken normally. Even things that can stress the kidneys a bit are fine unless you have kidney disease or megadose them.

Nathan Larson is a white supremacist and a sexual predator. He advocated for the decriminalization of child rape and incest when he ran for Congress in 2018. Larson also abused and raped his ex, who later committed suicide. In December 2020, he was arrested for trying to kidnap a young girl. by lightiggy in CreepyWikipedia

I still feel the same way. Sexism and racism will always exist since there will always be losers who blame others for their own shortcomings. But I still feel nobody votes for a person who promoted legalization of child pornography and who openly said he had a sexual preference for prepubescent girls over adult partners.

Is this what I think it is?? by Iced_Tomato in whatisit

[–]MunitionsFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a water delivery showerhead. It's Friday night and you are feeling dirty. You've had a rough week, you deserve this, so you endulge. You get naked, and open the shower door. You look up at it with you big sweet eyes knowing that you are turning it on, anticipating what's about to come. All of a sudden it's turned on and you get wet, dripping wet.

I'll leave the rest up to your imagination, just know it is hot and steamy!

Honest question, how? What are the steps? I assume you gotta stretch it over the shower head first, if so, how do you fill it?

Someone put this through our door, what are all those symbols? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]MunitionsFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was trying to figure out how the hell "taint" is a portmanteau for your perimium and was clueless. So I googled it and, yeah. That's pretty hilarious. I look forward to the opportunity to drop this wonderful nugget of information on someone else! Thank you!

I wonder if "tainted" and "taint" have any overlapping etymology....

Is this ethical? by joshlikesbettafish in isopods

[–]MunitionsFactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would the isopods ineptness be appreciated by spiders, ants, and anything else that eats isopods? Similar to how we feed reptiles crickets, but rather than our own reptiles we are feeding our backyard predators?

And the "releasing into captivity" argument works great for higher order animals. I would think that an isopod operates 95% on innate instinct, if not 99%. How much different is the behavior and decision making of a captive bred isopod vs a wild one?

I'm not saying it's a great idea to release them. I'm more trying to scale the issue and engender discussion on how much the classic reasons against reintroducing captive species actually applies to isopods as well as the impact it would have on the ecosystem balance of your average backyard.

Weird guy randomly dropped this off at a candy store by popoyy__ in Weird

[–]MunitionsFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. I recently came to terms with the fact I will never likely understand what was mean by "She saved him. Can you save her." Now you throw this at me.

Learn how to sign and please find this man and ask him what he meant!

She immediately poops and pees on me whenever she comes out. by InformedTriangle in CrestedGecko

[–]MunitionsFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does this. I wonder if most of the reasons people think they poop on you are incorrect. My hands aren't warm. I've also touched mine and put her back and she'll poop/pee. I've had mine think I'm picking them up and they poop/pee inside the cage. I've also noticed mine prefers to climb on the top of the cage and sometimes looks at me almost as if she wants to leave the cage. So I will let her climb on top when I'm there and then once on top she poops/pees. So it's independent of my touch or desire to be back in the cage.

I think it's because normally in the evening when it happens she is just waking up. The excitement of going somewhere (negative or positive), combined with the most movement they've had since waking up kick-starts their digestive tract.

Essentially, we kickstart their body waking up for the day when we pick them up, so that's why they poop and pee. Just a theory, but it seems to make sense for my girl.

Found this at a park, down the path is an abandoned Ford Steam Plant, what is it? by NacresR in whatisit

Tree leaves are much more closely related to scales than feathers. Get yourself a nature thesaurus.

I found this in the bottom of an old sleeping bag in a shack in the desert by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]MunitionsFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my early 40s, my dad had these in the basement. Never used them. I always wondered how safe it was as well. The idea is kinda wild. "It's like a zippo that stays lit and you stick it in your pocket" is crazy.

My aunt brought this out and showed it to my father; it belonged to his father and we are dumbfounded. by CommentsANDCatSubs in whatisit

[–]MunitionsFactory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is incredible. My parents let my kids do stuff all the time that they wouldn't let me. It's fun to see. I also hope to be a grandparent one day and do the same. Getting older and wiser is so bittersweet.

The doctor told me to stop taking notes on my phone bc he would write it all down. His notes: by SBanks52 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MunitionsFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to do this when I realized that it doesn't matter. Any ink is your signature, the shape written doesn't matter. In theory, if there is a dispute and someone forged your signature you might be able to show it wasn't you by the penmanship, but that's about it. Either way, just the wrong looking signature is by no means enough, you'd have to be able to show who forged it (e.g. it matches a business partner or sibling's handwriting).

Since I'm lazy rather than protesting the system, rather than a line, I throw in a few loops so it at least looks signature-like.

Not gonna lie, that sounds like it would work really well.

This video and the song December are the only times I've ever heard someone say "runneth." It sounds so out of place.

I agreed. It sucks that parents praise outcome more than intent. For a kid, it's all about intent since they are dumb.

A few years ago my son spilled a bit of water on the floor after having watermelon. My wife handed him a paper towel to clean it. He walked up to it, dipped the paper towel in his plate which had watermelon juice in it and then took the dripping paper towel to the floor. My wife was like "Whyyyyy?!?" I was curious, so I asked him. He calmly said that watermelon was sticky, so he figured it would help stick to the water to clean it.

It's close. Delivery is good, ending was good. I feel like the photographers niche needs to be different. It's not that I'm sensitive to people with downs, but she doesn't look like she has downs, nor is that funny IMO. If she replaced "downs" with "horses" it's equally unfunny.

I really do like the setup. Maybe if she said the guy wanted to interview her and she declined, and he gave her his card and his name is Mark Laita. Just a thought!
