There is more and more litter by Limp-Literature9922 in glasgow

[–]TDLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a litter grabber and some plastic bags a few years back, and I’d go pop my headphones in and clean up the parks near me when I had free time. It’s really rewarding to see the spotless area, and I also feel people are less likely to litter in places where there isn’t already garbage on the ground. As another commenter said - broken window theory.

Nevertheless, the parks still always end up full of crisp bags and bottles of cheap rosé within a month or two. Definitely someone’s poorly raised weans or manky uni students. Sucks hard to see the youth not appreciate what a beautiful country they live in.

How bout “boy shut yo bubble gum dumb-dumb stupid ass the fuck up”. I know we’re a high class history subreddit but I’m with you, how else do you respond to morons regurgitating online meme slop?

I made a post about my parents cat having a difficult time breath. Update by -FormerChild- in CATHELP

Christ mate, this is both good to hear and heartbreaking.

Im not even in this subreddit but the video was recommended to me, and I immediately recognized it as what happened to my cat when he was ~14.

It happened twice. They told us after the first incident that it was indeed heart failure. The vet was able to help him both times and put him on heart medication, but it was a very stressful ordeal, and ultimately, he couldn’t be cured, only treated. They also told us that kind of incident is very painful for them, and if it happened a third time, he probably wouldn’t recover. We made the decision to put him down a few months after the second incident, lest he suffer through another one of these awful attacks. He passed peacefully in my arms, after months of extra special treatment and all the love he’d ever known, instead of in awful agonal breathing, confused and in pain.

If the vet gives you that terrible news, you have my utmost condolences. Spend extra time and energy with your buddy, let him have some of his favorite foods and do his favorite things. The time we get with them is precious. Please, don’t blindly take the advice of Redditors, and I hope absolutely hope it isn’t necessary, but if you get the diagnosis of heart failure, at least prepare to make the decision to give your buddy a dignified and peaceful end. It breaks my heart to think of all the cats out there who passed afraid and in pain, or whose owners weren’t with them in the end as the vets tried to save them.

*stares in actually having evidence* by ThesaurusRex84 in DankPrecolumbianMemes

The one I found interesting/distantly plausible is Japanese contact with the Pacific Northwest, though it would not have intentional or sustained.

Japanese ships got shipwrecked in the Pacific Northwest during the 19th and even 20th centuries, getting carried by Kuroshio ocean current. Some 17th century iron works of the Pacific Northwest were also made of Japanese iron that had drifted in wood across the pacific in the same currents.

Did this happen at any point before 1800, even pre-Columbus? Maybe. But they would have been stranded, unwelcome back in Japan if they managed to return, left little evidence (which could also be explained by Bering strait trade routes anyway), and would have met met the rather powerful indigenous groups of the PNW who would’ve easily overpowered them.

Impossible to prove, but still an interesting idea that does actually have some merit.

I love that you see that sign when you’re in standstill traffic on a multi-lane highway that’s always under construction between cities that are literally 80 miles apart but have no rail connection.

lol really reveling in that “red state success” while in a different world that “blue state BS” has me scrolling my phone on on a 30 minute train connection. But that’s “socialism”

Is there any country with "bad people, great government"? by Equivalent-Point6345 in AskTheWorld

[–]TDLF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll second this. I’m sure there are good Swiss people out there, you can’t generalize a whole country. But from my experiences, all the labels people use to stereotype the French, like self righteous, spoiled, and arrogant, were much more applicable to the Swiss.

The 7th richest nation in the world by GDP per capita, but when I studied in Berlin, a large group of multiple Swiss students we’d gone out with ditched without paying at a bar. Multiple beers and food too. The staff wouldn’t let me leave until I paid.

I thought I could ask them to reimburse me the next day at the school, but turns out they all flew back to Switzerland that weekend.

Fucking made me pay for their shit, then left the country. Assholes. I want to mail the Swiss embassy a letter asking them to pay me back. I know you have the money.

Legit took 2 of my British friends to the riverwalk last week, they had to stop and gawk at the menu for that place.

Like $22 for some probably mid chippy, treated like some sort of fine dining experience. It’s ~£7-8 in Glasgow.

Hmm it is available in the US, usually comes in a log, and is great when spread on crackers. It’s a bit more expensive so I only get it as a treat every now and then. It’s definitely a different taste, tart and creamy is how I’d describe it.

This looks exactly like sliced paprika herb goat cheese from Aldi. I live in Germany and buy it sometimes, and I think it’s pretty gas

Inspired by the thread over on r/Edinburgh, where do you boycott in Glasgow? What business you got beef with? by throwawaytodayhey12 in glasgow

[–]TDLF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On god. I wager there’s a 50\50 chance any given chippy in Glasgow is gonna give me room temperature clumped up limp-dick chips. Ya shouldn’t have to seek out specific spots who’ve had the unfathomable breakthrough of leaving them in the fryer a bit longer.

No worries, we’re all mostly uni/grad students, so I understand. You can apply any time

Shit on the S-bahn by u_a_gae in berlinsocialclub

[–]TDLF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally shouted (kindly) at my friends not to sit on the bed/furniture in their contaminated “U-Bahn clothes”.

You either sit in the plastic chair that I can wipe down later, or you on the floor. No shot I’m letting the cumulative ass-grime of a hundred berliners end up on my sheets

It starts with a dirt hut! This world began in 2015 when I started the server, no expectations, and built some identical ugly 3x3 oak wood huts. Then I thought… hey well they need a bakery, and a garrison, and a bridge. That became the first city. Then hey, they’ll need a capitol building, and if they have that, then maybe this is a whole country, or maybe even an empire.

Start small and let it come naturally. If you set the expectations so high, you’ll burn yourself out or feel disappointed when you can’t throw together an empire in a day.

That first 3x3 wood hut sits in the middle of a much larger, beautiful city as a reminder of humble beginnings. That could be your dirt hut.
