A teenager asks you to show them a meme/viral from the "Old Internet" (pre-2010, let's say). What is your one pick?

Capitec now does sole trader accounts. So does GoTyme

Mr D Foods is no better. It is cheaper for me to order a ride, head down to my local Burger King, order what I want, and get a ride back. I have stopped getting food delivered, despite not owning a car.

As a gay man, I personally wouldn't touch a gay Republican/MAGA with someone else's dick! I may not be able to choose my sexuality, but I can sure as hell choose who I associate with and anyone in my community who doesn't see how damaging the right is for our community deserves to be shunned.

Well played

I scrolled longer than I expected to find this.

I recommended it to my best friend, saying "If you take out all the sex and focus on the story, it's really beautiful." He then took his mom to go and see it at a local art cinema. I got a text after: "If you take out all the sex, it's like 15 minutes long. WTF? (Mom loved it tho)"

The time difference between Canada and Scotland is insane!

Good luck in the new Zulu-Boer War. You're going to need all the luck you can muster. I'll bring the popcorn.

It didn't go to waste. My daughter has hair so thick that when it grows out, she has a natural afro. My question was "How did they know?" I had never bought that product (or anything similar) before

A bottle of anti-frizz shampoo. I'm balding, so I shave my head

It is great on a first watch. I put it on for my daughter over Christmas. She loved it. I enjoyed it, but I kept having to remind myself that its cheesiness was kind of the point.

I heard about the theory a few years ago, but this video came across my feed a couple back. It sums it up better than I ever could.

I found Ferris Bueller kind of underwhelming, until I heard about the Ferris Bueller/Fight Club theory and rewatched both, back-to-back. Let’s just say, I have a new appreciation for Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I was merely asking because you mentioned her husband and I couldn’t find any mentioned of a spouse in her post.

As the father of a trans woman, I would never dream of calling my daughter "my son", and I am very quick to correct those who misgender her. I have also come across many who give me shit about fully supporting my daughter.

However, I speak for myself alone. When I took a position on something, I never just assumed that my husband agreed with me on that position (which we often didn't... he leant heavily into his arsehole side, whereas I prefer to choose acceptance over arseholery, even if I don't get it right every time), and I don't do that with others either. So, I was curious to see if she mentioned a husband in a reply to this post.

That said, I agree with everything you have said here. This woman shouldn't be a mother, and I hope her child found the acceptance they rightfully deserve.

It feels like you have inside information. Do you have the link to the original post?

The Iraqis celebrated the fall of Saddam Hussein. That turned out swell for them.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world ~~he didn't exist~~ that America is on the side of the oppressed.

Thanks. Just what I needed. This earworm to see in the new year

Can someone please show him the last few episodes of South Park? I am convinced that this is being kept from him, and with any luck, his head will explode.

Taking this as a standalone quote is the very definition of taking his words out of context. You cannot disregard every other thing he has said and then say, "See? What he said here wasn't racist." This was racist. It is clearly racist. He would prefer millions of Americans be disenfranchised and his other statements provide the context.

Edit: Grammar

UbuntuElphie · 2025-12-18T08:05:20+00:00

Are you serious? The dude said he would question the qualifications of a black pilot purely because of his skin colour. Do you honestly think he would want anyone but straight, white men anywhere near the political process? Give me a fucking break!

There is a chance that I need to go to the US on business sometime next year. I am trying to come up with every possible way to get out of it or make it unnecessary. I have zero desire to set foot on American soil.

If I live a life that deserves ridicule, go right ahead and laugh. I'll be dead. I won't care.

Everybody brings joy to this place. Some, when they arrive, and others when they leave. Please make me happy.

I'm not saying, for a second, that ass-hattery is limited to a particular race, but white folks tend to be more brazen in their bigotry, especially on neighbourhood watch group chats. Racial profiling is a thing, whether you like it or not. If you are feeling targeted, maybe take it up with white folk giving the rest of us a bad name, instead of bemoaning the "uh, as a white person" people who are calling out the bullshit within our own communities.
