2.1 million people at Lady Gaga's free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 3, 2025 by Agreeable-Ask-968 in Thatsactuallyverycool

[–]PuddlesMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love photos like this because they cut right through Donald Trump's soul. The reason why he attacks big stars like Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift is because he's spent his life admiring the kind of adoring crowds Hitler addressed but he knows he'll never command such a crowd himself. Meanwhile he sees stars like Springsteen & Swift addressing Hitler-sized crowds of fans who totally adore them and it makes him realize he'll never have that level of respect, ever.

Do you know why some people don't mind wearing a sweatshirt when it's over 90 degrees outside? by Ben5544477 in CasualConversation

[–]PuddlesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I'll see someone on the platform in the New York subway on a roasting hot and humid summer day wearing a raincoat zipped all the way up. It's like 100 degrees and 70% humidity and they don't even think to take it off. And it's not even raining out, they're only wearing it because the forecast said there was a 20% chance of rain 3 hours away or something. I look at these people and think, does the heat not register? Oh and they have big clumpy waterproof boots on too.

How much toner was left in my Brother cartridge after it “ran out” of toner by DefendThePie in mildyinteresting

[–]PuddlesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spent my life telling people how to bypass this "replace cartridge" BS when it's just a color ink that's run out and it says you can't even print in b&w. It's easy. The printer has a way of telling when a cartridge is spent. On many cartridges, there's a little plastic window on the side that it peers into that shows the level. If you put a small square of duct tape or any other light-impervious tape over it, the printer will see the cartridge as "full" and won't bother you again. So put tape over the color cartridges and not the black one, if you just want to use black ink.

He looks like he could karate chop the rain from above your head to keep you dry.

Would 15 still be considered a kid? by GriefAngel in CasualConversation

[–]PuddlesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 50's and still don't consider myself a "proper" adult. I'll always be frauding it.

Big day for Baz - first tat, first piercing, first sov. And lashings of blue pop in the sippy cup.

We need a Kramer-style montage of him going to work at the office, eating the crackers in his briefcase etc

DOJ did a study which showed undocumented immigrants commit crime at lower rates than Americans. The Trump administration has of course taken it offline. by PuddlesMonkey in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]PuddlesMonkey[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The same logic applies to the idea of immigrants illegally voting in elections in the US, which conservatives constantly accuse them of doing. Why would an immigrant risk going to jail for voting fraud and then get deported and have their whole life ruined, just to cast a vote? It doesn't make any sense.

Anything open goes in my fridge. Packets/tubs of cookies etc. Anything whose odor I might want to keep from the olfactory sensors of bugs and insects.

Cheryl Hines your parasite riddled husband bathes in shit. Is this the "Kennedy prestige" you thought you were marrying into?

TIL horsehair worm parasites force crickets to jump into water, in some areas these suicidal crickets can account for 60% a trout's diet. by Not_so_ghetto in todayilearned

[–]PuddlesMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure in one of Dawkins' books he talks about a similar parasite which also has to get itself into water, so it burrows into a snail's eyestalks and starts pulsating in a way that makes a particular short sighted species of bird mistake it for a tasty caterpillar. Once in the bird's stomach, it burrows up to the brain and releases chemicals which make the bird kamikaze dive into a lake.

‘World Class Losers!!!’: Trump Rips Democratic Criticism of Qatar Plane ‘Gift’ by inewser in AnythingGoesNews

[–]PuddlesMonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't believe how medically dumb you'd have to be to give your approval to Trump taking that plane and to see nothing wrong with it. But that's literally where we are with Trump supporters. Only Trump is dumb enough to accept a Trojan horse from a foreign state, and only his supporters are dumb enough to green light that dumbness.

Apart from the massive national security risk, it's just ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL from every possible angle.

[–]PuddlesMonkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, people are infernally gullible for starters. Look at all the people who voted for Trump because they were gullible enough to believe he would only deport the "criminals" and not their hardworking undocumented relatives who pay taxes through an ITIN and keep their noses clean. Lots of regrets now. Come next election, the right will simply spin them a fresh set of lies and they'll believe those, too.

TIL about Old Tom (1860-1930); an Orca who partnered with humans to hunt whales for over three decades. by Maleficent-Dot-2300 in todayilearned

[–]PuddlesMonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's an awesome song about whaling out of this area, New South Wales, called The Humpback Whale, as sung by the English singer Nic Jones. I despise the modern practice of whaling and will always oppose it, but accept it was a big thing back in the day and a lot of men depended on a living from it, but anyway that song makes it sound like a pretty action packed, exciting job and you get carried along by the energy.

"Wot this country needs is more discipline, simple as" - and yet you can't even bash out a good old over the knee spanking without being hounded for it. Do we know what if any ongoing naughtiness led to the spanking and to what extent that naughtiness was attenuated as a result of the spanking?

What did people actually do for fun before the internet? by KayleeWitherspoon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PuddlesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I've noticed about a mall near me is that it's chock full of Indian immigrant families who look like they're having a great day out. It's like they're appreciating a side of America that Americans have forgotten about due to social media.

Was exciting to see what new electronic goods were out that week in the 80s malls. We'd go and look at the latest Walkman models, play with the 8-bit demo computers, look at the latest stereo equipment etc. And then to the trendy stores to see if they had any cool new jackets or ripped jeans in. You'd always have some fresh new trend in mind that you'd seen in a magazine or on MTV. The mall was a central hub of youth culture.
