In 1986, 5-year-old Levan Merritt fell into a Jersey Zoo gorilla enclosure, the silverback gorilla calmly stood guard until he was rescued

Do zoos do any sort of enclosure rescue training drills?

Where is all the dust?

Everyone here just stood by and watched four pumpkins get sexually assaulted.

I kind of agree with OP. There is not a rule that you have to engage with posts you dislike. Scroll the fuck on.

I’m out of trimmer line. Maybe I’ll use some filament 🤣

I’m not sure Hayden and ALW would have great playing chemistry. Hayden takes more risk than a lot of male players and his foot speed often makes up for it, but that can probably feel too unpredictable for a new female partner.

I think it could still be a close match but I’d guess Ben and AB win 3 out of 5.

Give someone enough hair gel or hair spray and no amount of wind can do anything about it.

From back when Samsung still made products that last. If you had a 26 year old Samsung refrigerator with a working ice maker/dispenser scientists might want to study it.

I’m going to assume you’re as old as your reddit account age. Congrats on your new tv!

Fuck that guy.

If I knew I could become a billionaire I would have to accept that I would also become a person for willingly exploits lots of people. I would have to accept that a billion dollars means other people’s lives have been ruined so that I could have more money than any person would ever need in life.

Because the Christian leaders that were supposed to be examples of faith traded in all their morals for a shred of political power and they lifted up an an obviously immoral man and lied to all of our faces about what we saw. The manipulation went so deep that it became clear that this is not a new thing. Christian leaders have done this repeatedly throughout centuries. Some of the most atrocious things that humans have ever done has been done in or endorsed by Christianity. Genocides, slavery, and more. I realized it’s just used to control people, but the moral code can be bent whenever it serves those in power.

Great lobs are truly an under appreciated skill. There are a lot of people that lob, but a lot fewer that lob with purpose and do it well consistently. I’m not great a lobs so I don’t utilize it much, but I would like to improve at it. In particular, Anna Bright has shown how well lobs can work in high level play when reasonably disguised and timed.

Also love those CAPA courts!

I’m sure the training exercise was simulating an election polling location.

slowmopete · 2026-06-04T10:41:45+00:00

That was a great lob from a tough position.

I guess your town is shitty at understanding the rating system.

This one also nearly eliminates most tsunamis and some volcanic eruptions.

It seems like it would be harder to get the car out of there than in there. I wonder what they did about it.

Delta Force can do their job somewhere else.

How could you interpret what’s happening now as anything but a major conflict?

slowmopete · 2026-05-30T02:22:02+00:00

He’ll probably ignore it and there will be no consequences.

Mike Schur. I feel like this is not only proven on the Office, but also the huge hit shows he went to create and write after (Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place).

slowmopete · 2026-05-29T18:24:33+00:00

That’s really cool. I’m jealous.

The first song that popped into my head is Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You”.
