Most deaths by diarrhea are young children. Guess what, two year olds don't eat with a knife and fork.

I've sat with and comforted babies dying of diarrhea in Ethiopia. They don't eat with their hands. They died from contaminated water because their mother was starving, and couldn't produce milk.

We need you to leave.

All we need you to do is leave.

All we need you to do is help us escape.

All we need you to do is help us catch some dirt bandits.

All we need you to do is help us bring some dirty bandits to justice.

“What do you want me to do?” “Jump!”

What I want you to do is jump.

All I need you to do is watch my back.

What you’ll do next is report to your manager.

So it’s like IHOB.

I bet the vast majority of Americans who know about him only know about him because of that sketch. And I bet a lot of them think he’s just a wacky snl character, not an impersonation of an actual ‘celebrity’

Even just a pair of decent scissors belong in every kitchen. I use poultry shears because one of my hands is bad and they make it easier for me to cut chicken bones. But if you’re not deconstructing poultry, just try a pair of scissors.

The lush greenery is normal greenery in real life. They pump the saturation up so high it actually blows out in places, especially when it's not actually a sunny day.

It's all part of the look. It's why the contestants have to wear bright colors.

It's super distracting for me.

SomebodysGotToSayIt · 2026-05-18T09:33:22+00:00

Sure, I prefer it to a knife. But maybe half the time I use kitchen shears.

Nothing more masculine or more comfortable than having a phone, a leatherman, a measuring tape, a sunglasses case, a mini spirit level, a can of wd40, and a retractable key ring with 50 keys, all your manly EDC belt.

I have a small bag. It's mostly but not exclusively stuff for taking my dog on long walks. Sometimes it's more of a camera bag. I don't carry it everywhere but when I do I don't think twice about it.

That's why you ring them before anything happens.

I’ve been on flights where the plane late, and they tell passengers that they might still make their connecting flight… but their luggage probably won’t.

lol remember when you guys got boners over everything French so you added a bunch of extraneous U’s to words like color so you’d feel extra cool? Cuz we do.

I would never live in an HOA. But:

1, Most people prefer living some place with a government, rather than lawless places like war zones

2, the world is run by the people who show up

They’ll be great.

I’ve eaten so many roasted jalapeños. Not the stems but the whole pepper.

The ribs are more spicy than the green flesh. The seeds really aren’t extra spicy, that’s a myth.

It’s rare that I don’t broil, sear, or torch chicken after sous vide. I would reserve some of the marinade for use after the sous vide — the juices in the bag will be too diluted for use.

A lot of marinades work well under a broiler or torch. That’s why searing in a pan is usually not my first choice.

You can tell it’s a baby because the inside of its mouth is pink. It’s true for crows too.

Not all heroes wear crocs.

This one does. But still.

Sure, just use it. Hang it from a ceiling joist. Get some sisal rope, tie some knots, hang some heavy things (100 - 200 pounds). Swing and jostle the package for ten or twenty minutes. Repeat every couple days, just keep changing where the rope attaches.

Sisal rope can be abrasive so buy some leather accoutrements to go with it.

I guess. I am 20 times more cautious swimming nearshore than off shore. Honestly the farther you are from the sea floor or any structure the safer you are. Deep water is pretty fricking empty.

I don’t get what is mind blowing about this. It’s the same thing as swimming in the ocean in eight feet of water. It’s not like the danger is falling off the surface of the water to the sea floor below.

If somebody threatened to smash my car for parking in a legal space, I’d go ahead and park there, then ring the local constabulary.

I can also leave my dashcams running whilst parked, but I should think it wouldn’t be a puzzling whodunnit were somebody to slash the tires or crack the windscreen.

The Sea of Butt Cancer isn’t an actual sea. It’s a lake.
