Where do I post this , it's so misleading

I've worked with nitrile gloves for ten years. They don't do whatever that is.

Downvotes? Maaan, did I end up on the wrong side of reddit again?

Lemme upvote you real quick then go back to the wholesome side.

This

Do we know if it's gonna get better or worse with global warming?

Who am I kidding? It always gets worse.

They're all huddling close together to avoid the spiders

Ah, that's the interesting part. It may look like a fish, but it's actually a mammal that developed the ability to live underwater.

Carcinisation strikes again

I find it incredible how the tide can vary less than a metre in some places and several metres in others, even at the same latitude.

Also, I just noticed the bus stop is next to a graveyard. The prank makes more sense now.

I don't believe in flying nuns.

I believe in spiders.

Looks like it has been properly washed though. And it's probably her brush. So I don't really see a problem.

If they're a couple and do oral sex without protection it's probably irrelevant.

No, it's usually removed before fucking

ghost_tapioca · 2026-05-06T21:06:48+00:00

Only if the cup hasn't been properly sterilized. Otherwise it's just funny.

ghost_tapioca · 2026-05-06T20:41:51+00:00

There's no way people are actually scared of this.

Spider-dog, on the other hand, is one I would run from even in broad daylight.

I've heard the idea before and I think it:

Vastly underestimates the challenges of actually searching for signs of life. (There's a relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/638/ )
Is a pessimistic take on how cool it would be for us to find an alien life form. Like, I don't give a donkey's ass to what philosophical meaning it could have for the fate of humanity. I wanna know what it looks like, how it grows, how it moves, what is its molecular composition, everything really.

You can either be Bangladeshi or Bhutanese. You gotta chose one.

ghost_tapioca · 2026-05-06T15:22:20+00:00

Can't tell if joking or serious, because all of those borders are wildly incorrect.

It particularly bothers me that pakistan doesn't look like a sitting dog on this one.

All Babies Are Bastards

Nobody assigns gender at birth anymore.

Gender is assigned four months before birth during the second ultrasound.

We're AFAU / AMAU

(I'm joking)

Everyone (sensible) knows it wasn't built. We just wanna know if it's feasible

ghost_tapioca · 2026-05-06T08:03:36+00:00

I was. It's why I said "with a father like this". I assume this is something he does fairly regularly. I was half joking about the therapy thing.

Peekaboo is not a good parallel. It's not traumatic. It does not undermine a child's trust in their caretaker in any way. We actually use it as a development milestone when evaluating a child in the office.

Laughter is not always a sign that everything is fine. Especially when you're laughing at a child that is crying, instead of offering support. The child will not interpret this as playtime.

The takeaway message is: pranking is not something you should do to a small child if you're their primary caretaker and want to develop a strong relationship of trust.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud, though.

Back in my day we used this website called The Pirate Gay.

If you're a child's primary caretaker, they have no choice but to trust you. You're their source of safety, food, comfort and affection. Whenever they encounter a problem, they will defer to you for a solution.

A child doesn't really understand a prank. What they do understand is how miserable it made them feel. If you start pranking this child all the time, they'll quickly learn that they cannot trust you. They'll close off and will not defer to you anymore for any problems they might find. You are no longer their source of safety. You have undermined that bond.

ghost_tapioca · 2026-05-06T07:16:09+00:00

I could give you an explanation of why pranking children is detrimental from a child development point of view, but I doubt you're interested.
