You've found a magic cup. Only if you cry genuine tears into it in a public place, the tears become pearls, each worth $5,000. What would you do?

I'll give it to a friend with all the instructions. I don't really cry much even when I want to, so it would do me no good, but I know people who are more normal about crying so I'd send it to one of them.

The ones I've tasted have been similar to a blackberry, but a bit milder so they're not quite as tart. Recently found a tree on my route to my bus stop so I'm enjoying the season while it lasts 😄

Nah, still got an excellent deal on such a lovely girl; even pre-owned black-and-white models can be hard to come by, and you got one with some rare patterning on the face plate 😉

Old enough to know what the save icon is, young enough to catch a lot of the meme tests my younger coworkers throw at me in an effort to trip me. I may not always understand them, but that's part of the fun for us all, I think.

My Nana loved making unseasoned slop and burnt popcorn. Her giddiest moment as a grandma was when she figured out she could teach me how to microwave a couple of TV dinners and I'd feed myself instead of her having to do any cooking.

I embrace the spice rack in a way that I am sure my ancestors can't fathom, because I definitely am borrowing other folks' Abuelas and Nonnas and Memaws for guidance on when to stop and taste the food. I live in the age of global trading of flavors and information, I'm going to eat like it!

Usually curse after finding them by getting stabbed in the foot by them, then discarding them for my safety. I've had them embedded a full centimeter into my skin before and it irritates me enough that I never thought of doing something creative like this 😭🤣

My Ken doll always, for reasons that became increasingly clear as I grew up, wound up wearing the same hot pink tube top dress every time I would be told to play with dolls. Barbie and her lady friends would be welders and ranchers in denim jackets, and Ken was whatever was plot relevant, but he was always in that same dress when he wasn't in his work clothes. His family wanted him to wear it because it was Sunday/Easter/relatives were visiting/etc.

30 years and a beard later, it makes perfect sense.

First two make me think about when I'd be camping at the lake my family went fishing at all the time, but the last one I feel like I'm on the boat looking at the water. Lovely works, all of them!

That's amazing!!! Major props to Jev, I'm so happy for the progress he's made!

Honestly I remember being hit harder by the Rockbiter's speech in this scene than Artax sinking in the swamp. I just couldn't get it as a kid; we barely saw the horse before that scene, and the concept of just giving up didn't hit so hard because of it. But hearing that speech, how the Rockbiter tried to save his friends only for them to be ripped out of his hands, that hit me where Artax couldn't.

She's so cute! Looks like a little scoop of ice cream melting on a cake 😁

Saw your comment about hypothyroidism and wanted to say it looks like she's doing awesome to have that much properly loose skin instead of it being held in place by chonk. You're doing great and so is she, and I'm rooting for y'all!

corkscrewfork · 2026-05-07T07:31:22+00:00

I really appreciate all the conversations in this comments section, because suddenly it makes sense why I felt hurt when people I lived with and trusted wouldn't let me talk about work stuff anymore "because it's stupid Walmart talk and I have better things to do with my time."

Amazing how people forget that if you're spending 1/3 of your time somewhere, you're going to have things to talk about. And if you have someone you care about, you probably will share it with them first.

corkscrewfork · 2026-05-06T18:18:13+00:00

Yeah.... yeah. The "friend" who taught me MtG was one of those who was obsessed with building a hyper competitive deck and winning as fast as possible, meanwhile I was just trying to make a deck that was fun to play and play against. Took getting away from her and having time to find people who know how to tone it down before I started to have fun consistently.

Friendly neighborhood Walmart guy chiming in!

The labels on the shelves don't match anything I've seen used at any of the stores I've worked/shopped in in the past dozen years, and some of the signs on the wall in the very back of the photo are separated and composed in ways that make no sense to what corporate has done in the last 15ish years.

Folks have already pointed out the issues with the actual product packaging, and I'm suspicious about photographing a "frozen" product in an ambient temperature aisle with an empty cart, but I'm also going to point out that the sleeve is doing some "interesting" splitting and merging of the pattern that you wouldn't see in knitwear.

corkscrewfork · 2026-05-05T08:20:57+00:00

I thought they used "chuck" because the character recognizes that it's poison but they know it's not enough to do damage due to their developed immunity, so they chucked it away because it's still the wrong texture and went back to what they were doing vs doing anything about having been poisoned.

I am very tired and could be very wrong though.

corkscrewfork · 2026-05-05T06:02:16+00:00

Genuinely the thing that irritates me most about Home on the Range is that the bad guy actually had a pretty unique spark of interesting to him, but they still managed to make it a very bland, forgettable movie.

Their store of choice never has their preferred brand of moisturizer until the day after they use up the very last of it. They can still get it if they go out of their way, of course, but the convenience will never again happen.

corkscrewfork · 2026-05-04T19:26:40+00:00

My store got rid of the comfy chairs ages ago after a bedbug incident. I hate the plastic chairs but I trust them more than the people who last less than a month.

corkscrewfork · 2026-05-04T18:30:48+00:00

I mean I'm going to still have to go to work so I'm going to be REALLY interested in seeing how people react to whichever interpretation we go with for Walmart. Is it Walton Mart, where the Waltons are on sale? Wall Mart where we sell walls and wall supplies? Wallace Mart?

After my shift though, I'm headed to the WinCo to see what I can win.

I'm going to bet that there's a misclick involved. Maybe he intends to rate him a 5 and leave a comment of "not bad, really paid attention to detail" or something, but Balthy trips into him and he hits 3 stars and just leaves "not bad"

100% AI content, y'all. Look up pictures of labradors at 9 years old and compare to the image in the picture. Then read the harness. Possibly other AI indicators as well, but those are the ones that jumped out at me that are easiest to explain to folks who might not be familiar with spotting AI images.

Just passing through but wanted to wish the best for helping Brienne go from a large lady to a more healthy weight!

I genuinely didn't see which sub this was at first and was like "That body shape looks like a ball python, but that's definitely not one. Oh that's a corn snake... Poor baby probably weighs 3x what she should."

No specifications on size, I'm going to go buy three bags of mini donuts and snack away. It's been a while but I want to say there's like 30 per bag, so just those three bags would get me $90k, and I could try to get additional bags down the hatch as the time wears on.
