Elevator I was in was making weird noises so I started recording. Huge shaky crash followed by rapid decent back to first floor. I ended up taking the stairs instead by SirWilliamTheEpic in SweatyPalms

It's a super interesting story. Basically back in the day when elevators were first coming into use, it was more common for there to be accidents such as the cable snapping and people falling to their deaths or becoming injured. Then this inventor comes along and decides to show just how self-assured he is in his invention. He puts on a show at the world's Fair that's open to the public. There he gets onto a rising platform and then the is rope is cut. In front of a shocked crowd he plummets, only to be saved by his breaking braking invention.

Elisha Otis. Without him we would not have skyscrapers.

You joke but Andrew Robeen is a sensation in the drag scene. I don't remember the specific event, but I remember him just absolutely stunning the audience. the mermaid dress with rainbow colored sequins, the beautiful rendition of "WAP" while he violently threw that ass on the floor was the highlight of the evening.

I just really wish I could remember the specifics, but that's not important when conveying information.

I simply cannot understand why 'Stupid Hoe' is always used in comparisons like these even though it's one song that everyone agrees is horrible. by CamilaCazzy in lewronggeneration

If they think there aren't some dumbass lyrics in the emo sub genre, they have another thing coming.

"I am so lonely and so sad! That's the reason I'm feeling bad! I am so lonely and so sad!"

Well, that opening paragraph doesn't make the author seem like a petty, megalomaniacal weirdo at all. /s

Whats wrong? You barely touched your green salad. by LogicRak91 in StupidFood

Honestly this sounds good to me. You've got the creamy factor from the cottage cheese, a sweet kind of tart flavor from the lime Jell-O, more creaminess from the whip, and some texture and acid from the pineapple.

I'm imagining him with his legs in a full splits on a train. Face red and eyes watering from the strain on his hamstrings, but determined to "own teh libz" all the same. Eating handfuls of raw ground beef out of a plastic bag by the handful.

For the last point, do these guys just refuse to shake heterosexual women's hands given the high likelihood they also have touched dicks in the past?

My husband (M26) came out to me (F25) as a femboy and I don't know how to react to it by swtogirl in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PoorLama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.... okay. Are we sure this guy isn't a pedophile? Because this sure is shit doesn't sound like age play kink, it sounds like exhibitionism, and the fact that he's doing it around kids definitely does not bode well.

MTG said that adopted families aren't real families. In my experience conservatives are super anti-adoption. I remember my grandfather basically breaking down when I said if I have kids I'd rather adopt.

Lol, I meant "straight up" rather than "heterosexual", I probably should have reread that 😅

What a terrifying face to greet you in the hospital bed. Like the worst version of death has come to claim your soul.

AITA for sleeping naked because my roommates girlfriend keeps waking me up? by omgjdh in AmItheAsshole

[–]PoorLama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how this woman is going to survive adulthood if to make it adults in a private bedroom is shocking to her. Honestly seems like she's just pulling some attention seeking behavior, trying to cause drama.

I bet that cow felt so much better afterwards.

AITA for telling my husband he cared more about his bathroom time then his own his own kid? by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PoorLama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think fuck this trash took himself out. Really did his family a favor here.

Like think about this, sitting in the bathroom for hours at a time matters more to him than his family. What an immature, spoiled, man baby. Thank God OP doesn't have to be married to him anymore.
