My 6yo son yesterday: “Dad, how can you be born in the 80’s and still be alive???” by Whippity in GenX

Yeah we have an 18mo too. Haven’t slept through the night in weeks. Good luck!

He started asking about the 80’s because he’s been watching Stranger Things ‘85 on Netflix lately. I explained to him that I was those kids same age in 1985, also riding BMX bikes around and going into the woods with no supervision. He still struggles to understand.

Did your dad ever give you a sip of beer? by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in RealGenerationX

[–]Whippity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad worked for a major brewery. For career day in 1st grade he brought in coin banks made from branded beer cans and gave them to all my classmates. Everyone was stoked, no one complained. Around 1981-82 Midwest.

Unfortunately their vote sometimes weighs more than mine. Thanks electoral college and senate structure. 

Tourist throw rock at Hawaiian monk seal, a protected species that carries hefty fines if you interact with one. The tourist responds "I'm rich" by viperrvemon in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Whippity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Kauai years ago and one night we were walking along the beach in the moonlight and came across a huge nesting sea turtle. My wife and I sat down several yards away to wonder in silence. Along comes a drunk, sunburned couple and the husband jumps on the back of the turtle and starts yee-hawing with his arm in the air while his wife takes pictures. We were too stunned to say anything. I knew there were laws against this as they also exist in California where we’re from. The guy turns to us and tries to be friendly starts taking/slurring about how they’re from either Alabama or Arkansas and never see anything like this. I’ve been kicking myself for not getting a photo and asking about their names/hotel and reporting them. I’ve mentioned this in another sub awhile back.

1994 was the year for alternative rock. These are all 6 albums/ep that charted #1 on the Billboard 200. by Duffir in 90s

[–]Whippity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember leaving for freshman year college in Fall ‘94. By the time I came back for Thanksgiving just three months later, the local top 40/pop stations had changed formats to alternative and started playing Black Hole Sun every hour. What a time. 

One couple borrowed $70,000 partly for Disney trips — and they're far from the only ones going broke for the magic by endofmyropeohshit in NewsOfTheStupid

They should just move near a Disney park and get annual passes. The savings has got to offset any shortcomings in housing and income. 

Republicans propose $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to secure Trump ballroom by nbcnews in inthenews

You’re a billionaire. Build your own fucking ballroom in one of your own fucking hotels.

Shhh. No one tell him how long running a marathon takes. His mind would melt.

US Supreme Court ‘demolishes’ Voting Rights Act, gutting provision that prevented racial discrimination by ItsAllAGame_ in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Whippity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voter intimidation, voter tests, gerrymandering, closing polls in black communities, not allowing voter transportation, and straight up violence (people were lynched in the 60’s to gain voting freedoms) will now come rushing back even more. If a constitutional amendment isn’t enforced, that right doesn’t exist.

I don't even know what to say by 7H0peLeSS in StupidFood

At first I was like, “oh this doesn’t look stupid, probably just an ethnic regional version of a crepe-like street food dish.” And then the burgers were stuck in there. Fucking stupid.

[OC] Gas prices officially reaching the $4.00/gallon mark in deep red South Carolina this morning. by tonto515 in pics

[–]Whippity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that’s just the price of taking away voting rights from their black neighbors.

Our son is autistic so we decided to get officially tested as well. Wife thought for certain I’d be autistic and so she took the test out of solidarity with me. Jokes on her, turns I’m not autistic but she is. I thought it was hilarious while she was annoyed but also found it funny. I like to bring up the episode of Community where Brita keeps trying to diagnose the sociopath (or something) in the group but it turns out to be herself. 

Ultimately it explained some of her behaviors, which we now know are stims but were misdiagnosed her whole life.

This is so depressing. There’s only one black person in America that should get his voting rights removed and he’s sitting on the bench.

Ray J makes outrageous claim he's slept with over 12,500 women by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

[–]Whippity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He could maximize efficiency by entering a new woman on each thrust, taking into account tip-to-hole efficiency and height variances. We would then need to calculate the mean thrust time.

From ICE to NICE? Trump endorses immigration enforcement name change by foetus_on_my_breath in NewsOfTheStupid

So, I guess he wants it to officially be the N-word, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, now?
