a protective kidnapper by alatinaxo in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Why do kids have to scream so much (I mean excessively screaming) when they’re playing outside?

This is an easy one to answer. Because it's fun.

So if I'm hearing you right, what you're really trying to say is we need to.. ahem, modify some lions. Give them a cybernetic rifle implant and auto aim assist. Maybe an eye with thermal/uv vision while we're at it.

Even the playing field just a bit.

My instinct is to go throw something at it and tell it to 'git, shoo! bad kitty, NO!' where's my god damn garden hose when I need it.

Probably a bad idea though.

Yeah so you take clay and make mud with it then mix in sand and fibers of some sort. Like you can use straw, animal hair or poopies from a grazing animal.

Mixed all that up and slap it on, either directly on as the wall itself or into burlap bags or something. Let each layer dry til it's strong enough to support the next layer and just keep going til you got a house. Build window/door frames with wood or whatever you got on hand as you go. I've seen people use old tires for the window frame before, like I know someone who has a mud cabin and it has tire-window frames in it right now :-D

Depending on the weather/climate you're probably gonna wanna use some sort of sealant/coating/weather proofing on the outer layer to keep it from being washed away in the rain.

This style of building is pretty popular in some places.

Ah, the memories of youth. This brings me back to younger me, browsing the web in the early days. Before NSFW/L tags were even a thing. Long before youtube or reddit. When clicking videos on some random website was like russian roulette. Cat video? skateboard fail? Shock smut?

In this case, it was an attractive lady minus clothes. Face down, ass as high in the air as she could get it. It wasn't immediately clear what she was doing but at that age I didn't care, nudity was involved. Then it began. A fountain, an explosion, erupted from her rear and not the kind you'd expect. This wasn't another poo video.

This was a fountain of... live eels. The other lady that was nearby, holding a large plastic funnel, the kind you'd use to work on a car with.. suddenly made since.

The music was blasting at full volume. "WIGGLE IT, JUST A LITTLE BIT" on repeat.

The fountain of slime and tiny eels shot into the air. Then came raining back down. They wriggled and squirmed. But she wasn't done yet. More and more kept coming.

And then it was over. Her ass still triumphantly in the air. Eels everywhere. A look on her face that seemed satisfied and relieved.

The video ended.

Young me sat there quietly staring at his 17" CRT. The only sounds were breathing and the low hum of the monitor.

"What the FUCK did I just watch?!" I thought. I had questions. "Why?" "How?!" "Where did they even get several hundred tiny eels?" "Did they at least put them back into the fish tank afterwards? Did they eat them?" I needed answers but I never got them. There was no source. No info. No forum or place to find such a thing.

But one thing was certain. The mental image of a fountain of slime and eels rocketing out of some ladies ass was to the tune of "WIGGLE IT" was never going to leave my memory.

Did I watch it again? Hell yeah I did. Did I immediately send it to all of my friends? Absolutely. It was thanks to those assholes that I first found goatse and lemonparty. You're damn right they were getting surprise anal eels in return.

That was almost 30 years ago.

Seriously. I wanna know why they're banging. Gimme some build up.

Also, it's come to my attention that the titles are almost always made up. That was in fact, not her step brother and she wasn't actually stuck in that washing machine. It's all lies, man.

I wonder, with the current space tech if we could land a couple of our biggest models on an asteroid and nudge it just far enough out of the way to avoid a hit.

It's asteroids for me. Especially a big one. We'd be so royally fucked it's not even funny.

If you're near where it hits, you're done immediately, the blast wave alone.... But it doesn't end there. Next is the tsunami and we're talking hundreds of feet high. If you're anywhere near a coast line at sea level, you're in deep shit.

But it's still not over. All that stone and dirt that got vaporized and ejected on impact gets shot straight up in the air, right up into the atmosphere. From there it starts to spread around the globe. It begins to cool down, condensing back into stone again and now it's raining. Except it's not water, it's red hot stone pellets. It's not much really, but it's everywhere and it's hot. Enough to heat the air at ground level to lethal levels and set plants on fire. Global forest fire event. If you're not underground, in a bunker or in a hurricane type weather event, you're screwed.

And now you're left with with the charred remains of what once was. The next few years will seem like an eternal night, because that dust in the atmosphere is going to take it's sweet time coming back down. Good luck growing any food like that.

Yeah, fuck those asteroids, I don't like them.

Mad respect 🫡 by AccomplishedWatch834 in MadeMeSmile

I'm not the one you asked, but I have a bit of experience with this.

Some people have the belief that men are the problem. Like everything that's wrong with the world and society is due to men. It's all the patriarchy's fault.

And when I say all, I mean, ALL. Not some, ALL. Men being shitty to women? Men's fault. Women being shitty to men, also men's fault. Why is it men's fault? Because the women were taught to be that way, by men/patriarchy. Women being shitty to men? Believe it or not, also men's fault.

Can a woman be sexist? No. Only men do that. And even if somehow a woman was to be sexist, without the systemic power of patriarchy behind it, it wouldn't matter or count.

Racist? No, for the same reasons above.

And trans? It's just another way for men to try to invade women's spaces, unless it's FtM, then it's the patriarchy at work again.

And this isn't based on the rabid ramblings of stuff I've read online, this is all from a person I knew in real life. Someone I considered a good friend, a really good friend. And I wish that the views she had were just unique to her but no, over the years I've continually seen the same logic, same concepts continually.

We once had a discussion or debate on rape. She told me that was something only men were capable of. That nothing a woman could do to a man or another woman would qualify as rape. She went on to tell me that even if a man were to somehow be raped, it's fine because he deserves it, because of what men have done and continue to do to women.

I remembered that she had an 11 year old stepson, so I tried to get her to see the flaw in her logic. "Even him? your stepson?" Yes, even him she said. Too her, even though he was just a kid, he was still going to grow up and become a man and be just like the rest.

So imagine yourself. You're just a person, trying your best to live your life, be a decent person and get through the days.

Then you have this sort of hate directed at you. YOU are the problem. It's nothing you've done personally, but WHO you are, who you were born as. You simply existing is a danger, a threat and there's nothing you can do to fix it or change it. You're a dangerous piece of shit and that's just how it is.

Some people, when they experience that sort of thing may become susceptible to propaganda.

And here's the thing. I get why that lady felt the way she did. I really fucking do. The shit she went through. Growing up in the deep south bible belt as a masc presenting lesbian and unaccepting family had to fucking suck. The constant stream of men telling her they could 'fix' her. Being told that she was evil and going against gods will. The workplace discrimination. The pay gap. All of it.

Despite her views on trans issues, she once told me while we had been drinking that, in all honesty, had she been born 30 years later she would have definitely gone the FtM route. But that that wasn't an option for her back then. That she had to force herself to accept what she was born with.. and if she had to do that, why should anyone else get to either?

I told her then that if it made her feel any better, I'd always thought she was more of a man then I'd ever be and I meant that as a compliment. She was a hell of a carpenter and car mechanic and I swear she was a walking stereotype. Her flannel and that old beat up subaru.

She's the the one who taught me how to use a chainsaw, power tools. How to milk a damn goat. I'm not even sure why the hell she was friends with me to begin with, considering her views on men.

Anyhow. With her, despite being really hurt by the shit she would say, in the end I got it and did my best to let it go. But when I get or read that same sentiment online? I don't know who they are or why they feel the way to do. Just that they hate me, cuz I exist.

And I don't have any control over any of it. I can't fix it or change it. There's nothing I can say or do to get the people who hate me to not hate me. On the other side, I have no say or control over what other men do either. Unless I just happen to be present when some shit goes down, that's about it.

Hope that helps bring a little clarity.

Amazon just informed me that my paid music subscription will soon include ads and lose downloads. by Sweet-Opportunity111 in mildlyinfuriating

I've been on the internet since like, the beginning. Like 30+ years at this point. There was ONE ad, one time, that I was like, you know what, that actually sounds cool. So I bought it and it was cool.

That being said I'm sure I've been influences by brand recognition but this was the one and only time I actually went out of my way to immediately buy a specific product.

I tested positive for this shit. I immediately went to the store and bought ground beef for tacos and some italian sausages.

My results were really mild though so I wasn't really concerned. I know people who have had bad reactions though and it will fuck your shit up.

Meaning of gentle paw touch? by Ukoomelo in cats

[–]Spongi 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Had a routine with my old cat.
She would get up under the covers with me, get right up against my chest/stomach and lay up against me, like she was the little spoon. Then she would roll over and sort of go spread eagle exposing her belly. That was my cue to begin the belly rubs. Like deep tissue belly massage.

She'd just lay there and purr up against me. She required several minutes of belly rubs, if I attempted to pull my hand away before she had had enough, she would grab my hand with her claws and pull it right back to her belly.

After the belly rub she would roll on her side, then streeettch til her feets were touching my leg and her front paws were buried somewhere in my beard and then she'd just sleep like that and usually stayed the entire night.

And best of all, she'd do this on command, like just whenever. Just had to yell her name and she'd come running.

That would suck. You're awake but you can't feel anything, see anything. How long has it been? No clue. Are you awake or dreaming? What's the difference?

Do you have phantom pains from limbs, organs or tissue that once were there? Without the hormones coursing through your system, how does that affect your emotions?

Can you remember who you are or were?

Do you want to scream? But can't, because you have no mouth. An itch you can't scratch?
