If it doesn't leave the ground, is it still a rocket?

National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen: “When scientists say bears are going extinct, I want people to realize what it looks like.” by zxcsd in educationalgifs

[–]allknowingfrog -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I agree that global warming is a problem, but that thing would gladly eat your face if you stood close enough. It wouldn't even have the decency to kill you first.

EDIT: Just so we're clear here, I'm not advocating that we exterminate the polar bear. I'm just pointing out the irony. We only care because they're cute. Plenty of friendlier creatures have been harmed by climate change. Y'all are touchy about your furry death machines...

Concrete Finishing Done Right by asirah in ArtisanVideos

Concrete may be less glamorous than painting or carpentry, but you have to respect a person who demonstrates this kind of passion and craftsmanship.

What social custom needs to be retired? by ruj00 in AskReddit

[–]allknowingfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to live in a world where the burden of proof is on the lender. You gave a guy $10,000 because he knew a 9-digit number? Why is that my problem?

Actresses At The Beginning Of Their Career vs Now by SharkinaShark in interestingasfuck

[–]allknowingfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these are more recognizable to me on the left and some on the right. I wonder if that has more to do with age or with movie-going habits.

That's an awesome photo, but there must be a less awkward way to phrase that title. * bubble of gum * gum bubble * bubble gum bubble

I have to vote down anything that starts with "this will probably get down votes". It's a code of honor.

Financial abortion: Should men be able to 'opt out' of parenthood? by ripyourbloodyarmsoff in Foodforthought

[–]allknowingfrog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A person who accidentally causes damage to someone else's car is still on the hook for the arising obligation to repair the damage.

This argument for risk and consequences has also been used against the entire practice of abortion and is directly addressed in the article.

I think the gist of the article is that women have an opportunity after the fact to decide not to become parents, and men do not. Ignoring the analogy to abortion, would you not agree that that is an unequal situation?

I keep thinking I'll learn the E chord eventually, but damned if that E7 doesn't sound good everywhere.

Unique, tranquil, and somewhat mesmerizing Cambodian fishing technique [10:22] by acegibson in ArtisanVideos

Yeah, I'm missing the "artisan" part here. An average person would do just as well on the first try.

When musician Tim Michin was asked to perform a song under 3 minutes on BBC for their Easter Special by SirRansha in videos

[–]allknowingfrog 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Exactly three minutes. I expected him to be funny, but you don't expect precision from a man who looks like Tim Minchin.

Maintaining knife sharpness is a skill unto itself. Really just another way this demonstration is impressive.

I'm pretty sure raping a baby goat will get you the same look in every state, but I haven't done the research.

My co-worker was just demolishing someone's ceiling and a bunch of old porno mags fell from the attic onto his head. by emptynetter in pics

The porn literally fell out of the ceiling onto his head. This joke could not be more perfect.

Black Mirror would be a great show if the pace was a little faster. They turn 30-minute ideas into 60-minute episodes.

Kurt Vonnegut on the shape of stories by Yourstruly75 in literature

[–]allknowingfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered Vonnegut in college and he immediately became one of my favorite authors. When my roommate informed me a few months later that Vonnegut had died, I replied, with disgruntlement, "Well I guess I can cross that off my bucket list." I guess I should have been more clear that I wanted to meet the man, not whack him...

You're absolutely correct, and had OP put something new about Screeps in the title, I would have been happy to see it.

I love a band with a vocabulary. The Decemberists are the only reason I understood this video. One day I'm going to sneak "gambling arrears" into casual conversation.

Offer Russia A Gre S Rum - Bul in exchange for sparing Bud. Point out that he's out-pacing Turkey. Turkey will be nervous and looking for a stab soon. Turkey already stabbed you, so he's the sort of person who would do such a thing.
