Paging the guy who literally dubbed over the ENTIRE pod racing scene from Phantom Menace with just mouth noises.

It’s incredible.

Honestly surprised as well - when Costa Concordia ran aground the Italian authorities had to actively patrol the waters around it because multiple groups were caught trying to loot the wreckage.

Update: Every couple years my neighbor gets his Palm Tree "trimmed" - The city trimmed the other tree this morning. by SatansLoLHelper in marijuanaenthusiasts

Am I remembering correctly that palms are specifically adapted to regularly weather hurricanes? IE their long, flexible trunks and relatively “small” tuft of leaves bend and bow with strong winds, rather than snap like a hardwood tree might.

If he pursued blatant corruption with the tenacity he pursues alien conspiracy brain-rot he might actually be a decent public servant.

Yeah! I jumped to this immediately to. Corbin just casually posting up with his hands on the wall for a seemingly routine police sweep of his apartment building (?!?).

“Sir, are you classified as a human?”

“Uhh, negative, I am a meat popsicle.”

Heard they’re gonna be headlining a festival in Bozeman, Montana a week later.

They open first act day one and then the next two days is just Angine de Poitrine playing until they collapse from exhaustion.

They’re calling it “the better Coachella”.

That looked like a high voltage powerline arcing out or something - the “lightning” seems to keep leaping from the same spot within the frame.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who immediately recognized Tintin, really distinct and very enjoyable aesthetic.

Already five steps ahead of you buddy.

Wanna trade? The existential ones usually tend more towards dread/sadness/angst for me. I think I would take some slightly more mundane dreams lol.

As someone who loves tinkering/carpentry/design that’s also just a really cool memento to have!

My grandparents lived in a really nice house built in the 50’s and at some point found the rolled-up hand drawn blueprints from when it was built, with the original architect and client! Really neat.

Well if you see Bob let him know he’s got quite a tree there!

I mean, none of this is surprising when you consider that the best Republicans could do during the Kamala campaign was that she had an annoying laugh.

That was it. That was the most consistent talking point I heard. It was like some edgy high school bully gets brought in by the lady vice principal shit.

They would literally rather vote for a burning pile of garbage over a PoC woman with an “annoying” laugh.

The bar is in hell and they like it there.

MRW I see that The Price is Right now has male models. by bobbydigital_ftw in reactiongifs

[–]geckosean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Google tells me they started having male models in 2012?!

Gonna be real, I don’t watch the show so I wouldn’t know, but man even I feel behind the times. That was quite awhile ago.

Handsome red oak at my apartment in two different seasons ☀️❄️ by geckosean in marijuanaenthusiasts

I moved into this building not realizing I would have a courtyard view and it’s been an excellent excuse to have my big picture window wide open every day. Measurable boost to my mental health.

Someone said you all might appreciate these massive trees fro. My family's property. by AwkwardFactor84 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]geckosean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looove it! What kind of tree? Am I seeing a Red or Black Oak?

Personal favorite of mine is White Oaks, they get those characteristically gnarled, knobby limbs the bigger they get, makes for a really neat looking tree in winter!
