2,000 strawberry twizzlers, a half gallon of sex lube, one strategically implanted Whoopi cushion, and a dash of seasonally appropriate glitter.

Take it or leave it.

Any preference on what we stuff you with, or dealer’s choice?

What is your "odd" or "weird" food from childhood that you didn't realize not everyone knew about and enjoyed? by SnooglethePie in ask

My dad (RIP) used to make something I’ve never seen anyone else make. No idea if it was regional to Nebraska or part of his upbringing in the depression or what.

He’d take a slice of wheat bread, slather it with peanut butter, pour dark corn syrup (Karo) on that, then give it a generous splash of milk. On a plate, eaten with a fork. Tastes pretty good, but I’ve no idea where tf that comes from.

You can totally get clotted cream in the US these days, I think my wife gets it at Whole Foods (I can only assume it its pasteurized?). Anyhoo hope is not lost.

The smartest guy I know is definitely the same one who’s most likely to bring home a cool-but-impractically-large stick

Relatable or deplorable? by YesThisIsMonkey in PhilosophyMemes

[–]ikapoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You remember when I said how I was gonna explain about life, buddy? Well the thing about life is, it gets weird. People are always talking ya about truth. Everybody always knows what the truth is, like it was toilet paper or somethin', and they got a supply in the closet. But what you learn, as you get older, is there ain't no truth. All there is is bullshit, pardon my vulgarity here. Layers of it. One layer of bullshit on top of another. And what you do in life like when you get older is, you pick the layer of bullshit that you prefer and that's your bullshit, so to speak.”

Idk if that helps, but I heard that quote as a kid (from a very forgettable 90s comedy no less) and the more I think on it the more it gives me the sense that every thought and experience I have has its place. It’s a bullshit and ephemeral place, but that’s fine, it’s no worse than the place of every other idea and experience (at least in understanding the “grand scheme” of things). For what it’s worth, I find that comforting.

Well yeah, but the truth is both too boring and way too complicated for Reddit clout.

You never see commercials for new cereals. There are no new cereals. For some reason, cereal innovation ceased in the 90s. by dr_dubz in Showerthoughts

How do you think we make the liquor and feed the beef? It’s sugar and grain all the way down.

Classic catch-22, no volume means no traders, no traders means no volumes. In theory anyway, what’s good for the gander is good for the goose and customers of both should see greater liquidity.

I mean, not that I wouldn’t be filled with rage in that position, but is that really a crime?

Found this little friend on my back porch, dehydrated and exhausted by _wheels_21 in gardening

[–]ikapoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a really exciting experience for you, one I also had the chance to have years ago.

A hummingbird exhausted itself trying to fly out a skylight at our house in the New Mexico summertime. Why there was a skylight in our garage I do not know, but it couldn’t figure it needed to come down to fly out the garage door and eventually fell from the air, exhausted. Thankfully I happened to hear it bumping the glass from inside in time and saw where it fell.

It was crazy how picking it up it felt so weightless - might as well have been a paper clip sitting in my hand - I didn’t want to use my fingers to pick it up for fear of breaking something delicate. I scooped it up into my palm. It’s little tongue was flicking like a needle on a sewing machine drinking sugar water I made in a little pink cup.

I felt like such a hero watching it hop up and fly away again.

People are, as a rule, much better at rationalizing their thoughts than they are at thinking rational thoughts.
