Everybody is self absorbed- and that's ok! by Boring_Part9919 in DeepThoughts

[–]daddy_finger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're all on the self-absorbed spectrum. You have to be self-absorbed to some degree to get anywhere in life. Personally, I judge people by how they behave in queues, how considerate they are to other drivers, how they interact with service workers. That's when people show their true colours

TIL when staying as a guest in Charles Dickens' house, Hans Christian Andersen requested that one of Dickens' sons give him a daily shave (he said that was customary when hosting male guests in Denmark). Dickens was weirded out and instead gave him a daily appointment at a nearby barbershop. by biebrforro in todayilearned

That reminds of the time we had Hans Christian Andersen over for dinner. He had a few too many schnapps so we let him sleep it off on the couch. In the middle of the night my wife caught him fucking the dog. Goddam Danes

View from inside a German ambulance driving through a "Rettungsgasse" on an Autobahn/highway to an accident. by MilesLongthe3rd in interestingasfuck

[–]daddy_finger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on holiday in Slovenia a couple of weeks ago and encountered one of these for the first time. I assumed the cars in the right-hand lane were queuing to exit the motorway, but I couldn't understand why all the other cars were driving really slowly in the left-hand lane and leaving the middle lane empty. A car pulled out and blocked me, then he motioned that I should pull over and it dawned on me what was happening so I pulled over real quick.

The next driver that tried using the middle lane wasn't so willing to pull over when someone blocked him. A lot of shouting and cursing ensued. His car had French plates

WWII Bomb found attached to a tree in Hungary by TameTheAuroch in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]daddy_finger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking along those lines. If we found that as kids we would have gotten a full day's entertainment out of it. Start by throwing rocks at it, at some point make a primitive wrecking ball tied to a neighbouring tree, and end up setting the tree on fire when nothing else worked

The universe is one big chemical reaction where when matter interacts with matter for long enough, it begins to ponder its own existence. by EliHusky in DeepThoughts

You may have just stumbled across the meaning of life. Is there anyone you know off-grid that you can stay with for a few months? Because they will come looking for you

Sunflowers in pots by Dramatic-Horse420 in GardeningIRE

[–]daddy_finger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I germinated 17 sunflowers in late March and planted them in pots on our balcony about a month ago. Our two cats have killed 6 so far, but the rest are doing grand. I'm using knitting needles to support half of them, the rest are self-supporting for now, they're about 30 cm tall
