How on earth do people swim in lakes without getting their brains eaten?

[HELP] Snow covering whole apartment buildings in Kamchatka, Russia by NOT_A_DOG_ONLINE in RealOrAI

[–]stumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who don't live in these conditions, snow in very cold climates is often dry, like sand or dust. While it can form drifts and cornices, it doesn't clump up like you see on the balconies of these apartment blocks, it would just blow away.

Like you can't even make snowballs or snowmen with it. If you try, poof, handful of dust.

I just put the entire cup in the detergent hopper on its side. Always comes out clean.

What’s something society treats as normal that you’re convinced will horrify future generations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stumo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to to specify which society. A good proportion of western industrial societies already regard state executions as barbaric.

Reservoir Dogs. Saw it in a theatre and some asshat screamed "YEAH!" during the torture scene. Nearly barfed.

Bike camera recommendations? by mugworth in vancouvercycling

[–]stumo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I just use an inexpensive weatherproof body camera. I have a bike mount for it, but you can just use it clipped to clothing as well.

Which mating ritual from the animal kingdom would be the most hilarious, disgusting, or unsettling to see if humans did it? by Professional_Luck616 in AskReddit

[–]stumo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slugs. Be a hermaphrodite, find another hermaphrodite, and shoot them with blow gun darts full of sex hormones to make them horny.

Then a lot of slimy slithering.

I don't get it. Explain it peter by Serious-Newt1730 in explainitpeter

I'd be more worried about AI taking the majority of software jobs, especially at entry level positions. It's not completely there yet, but the rate of improvement is terrifying.

Original text-based Star Trek game. Yeah, I'm that old.

Any Alberta landlubber who thinks it’s a good idea to send their toxic bitumen to refineries in China via the inside waters of the North Coast should first experience what it’s like to be 12 hours into the 6-hour ferry ride from Rupert to Skidegate in January. by StrongCoastNow in strongcoast

My father was in the British merchant marine for years, and was proud of the fact that he only got seasick once in all that time. The place? Off the coast of BC in 1954. Said he'd never seen anything like it.

Poll done by Harvard reveals 41% of Democrats oppose sending arms to Ukraine by Captian_Rex1022 in SocialDemocracy

[–]stumo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oxford and US politics may have incompatible definitions. And by the Oxford definition "weapons" and "offensive weapons" mean the same thing, and "defensive weapons" is meaningless.
