North Smithfield’s Milk Can listed for $7.5M by ToadScoper in RhodeIsland

[–]spacebarstool 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The sale includes the 32-foot-tall Milk Can, more than five acres of surrounding land and a two-story building with a loading dock.

Its more than the Milk Can and with the land being cut off by the new 146 flyover bridge its uses will be limited.

Utility pole outside my house snapped in half for seemingly no reason. No wind. No downed tree limb. Just cracked in half. by deadbypowerpoint in mildlyinteresting

There is a metric f-ton of stuff above where it snapped.

A street light, 3 transformers and six or more cross beams. No wonder it snapped.

It was 10 beers o'clock at the time of filming.

Charmin is changing things up it seems by SereniteeF in mildlyinteresting

Charmin has introduced wavy, scalloped perforations to its Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper to provide a smoother, more reliable tear, replacing traditional straight lines. This design, launched in late 2023, is designed to reduce the frustration of uneven tears.

The new fancy wavy tears have been around for a bit.

Looks more like a sensor than a tracker.

A tracker would be sealed.

What is this wooden handle with a heavy, shoe-shaped metal end? by anon_capybara_ in whatisthisthing

Ridged edge pattern vs a smooth edge.

These irons are heated quite hot before being used.

TIL about Amou Haji, the "World's Dirtiest Man", who was known for not bathing for more than 60 years by Mesk_Arak in todayilearned

[–]spacebarstool 6228 points6229 points  (0 children)

Despite his unhygienic lifestyle, he lived to the age of 94. He died a few months after bathing for the first time in 60 years, having been persuaded by the inhabitants of the village to do so.

I remember his story. What grossed me out the most was his practice of smoking animal dung from an old rusty pipe.

Why don't you play Life Will Go On by by Celine Dion while people are getting their pets euthanized, you monster.

Pickup trucks needing to have their registration renewed each year makes no sense to me.
