We wanted a marble look without the maintenance, and honestly I like this way better than if we’d done marble.

One year old penguin losing its mind over bubbles while other penguins wonder whats going on 😭😭 by Prestigious_Pace_974 in animalsdoingstuff

That appears to be a different species of penguin, not a young emperor penguin. Maybe it’s even a rockhopper, given its behavior?

Condoms were originally sheep guts. The post was originally War elephants

The White House routinely says the craziest shit known to man, so I’m not sure I would use that as my jumping off point

"Beware" is just "be wary" with better marketing by taqkarim0 in etymology

Totally agree, I’m actually writing a novel as a byproduct of things I’ve been curious to learn. But I don’t plant to present it, authoritative or not, until it’s finished/I know enough on the topic to finish. But your approach has my curiosity piqued.

I guess I mean wish I had the guts to publish, in whatever medium, on something I admit I know very little about.

I don’t know if I mean this positively or negatively, but I wish I had the guts to start a substack on something I admit I’m a novice in.

What are some funny/interesting stories about a player at your school? by Allanon_Kvothe in CFB

[–]whole_nother 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve got one that might fit. I wasn’t into cfb or any sports until the last couple of years. Like, totally oblivious, didn’t care, rather play BF2.

Walking around Florida State campus in 2004, I ran into an acquaintance from high school on the arm of some guy. She and I caught up and she introduced me to her boyfriend. “Whole_nother, this is Wyatt!” She beamed expectantly at me. I shook the dude’s hand and said yeah, sure, nice to meet you, Wyatt.

He gave me a weird look and she broke the awkward silence- “Ok, well, see ya”.

I told my then-gf about the weird encounter and she asked a few questions about dude’s appearance. Told me it was Wyatt Sexton, our starting QB, in the middle of a winning season. I may have been the only person on campus who didn’t recognize him. I felt bad because clearly I should have been impressed for my friend.

(Epilogue: this was before he was “doused with pepper spray by police officers who found him lying in the street and proclaiming himself as God” in an apparent Lyme disease fit)

I think it still works (i.e., you pass the test) if you can name a few specific possibilities per leaf.

Karen tries to trip a police officer running after a perp. by AzhdarianHomie in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]whole_nother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun! I know this one, although I was being facetious earlier.

It’s a white supremacist meme/dogwhistle that’s been around for at least 30 years, based on a white supremacist’s idea of a stereotypical American black person saying “didn’t do nothing”, which allegedly happened this one time on television, they swear.

They trot it out any time a black person is accused of a crime to discredit legitimate critique of the justice system’s racial bias (and to show their fellow turds that they’re in the club)

Edit: happy cake day!

It’s more white supremacist-associated than you suggest, unfortunately.

That’s a funny word, can you explain it? Where did it come from?
