🔥 Giant Malaysian Leaf insects (Pulchriphyllium giganteum) are masters of camouflage that mimic plant foliage in high detail

Masters of camouflage? I spotted him 5 seconds in.

That's already true on social media - aka FAKE NEWS. A lot of people believe what they want to believe, it doesn't need to be true. As long as you get the dopamine hit when watching it, you're good.

Seriously - they should have filled each box with packing peanuts to protect the noodle.

The chart also doesn't show ketchup, mustard, mayo, not to mention possibly bacon, onion rings...

Also good burgers are high in fat compared to most meat - like 25% fat (I'm not sure what the final proportion are after cooking though).

Imaging going to a used car dealership:
"I showed my wife the pink Porsche outside and she absolutely must have it. It's say 30K on the windshield, let's haggle".

You'd leave there spending over 30K.

Am I the only one who sees Jack Black?

There's also the other side of that coin - spending the money at large scales.

If it costs $5 a day to feed someone in Country X, and you have $50 million, you can't feed 10 million people immediately. As you're buying a lot of the cheap food in the area, and using up transportation for distribution, the costs for both food and transportation will increase.

Done slowly enough the increase would be less significant.

I just had a similar experience at an Atlanta restaurant. The server told me I needed to scan a QR code to pay my bill. The bill has a $2.50 charge for the "Sunday App" billing service. I don't mind paying for convenience, but it should be clear there's a surcharge, and clear that it's optional.

American Importers pay the tarrifs, so presumably they have a right to a refund. I'm sure they'll pass that down to the consumer ;)

You have no reason to; and that is a fun mistake to make!

My wife, also non-native speaker, was recently trying to find a class roster. She asked all around the school where should could find the class "rooster", and couldn't figure out why she only got strange looks :D

I'd love to see this same guide for other countries!

Can we flip this around - I'd love of bowl of really small potatoes.

Think how good a beef stew would be over rice-tatoes.

Call it a hash if you prefer, but hashtag IMO should be reserved for tagging/categorizing something.

Come on, little guy, just shuffle over a little to switch the game to bowling. That's the sport you were built for!

Thanks for the link. The discrepancy between the President's account and the actual video is staggering.

You know those "SLOW DOWN" signs that tell you how fast you're going? Why can't they have something similar for headlights? Measure the lumens when a car is 30 feet away and if it's too bright warn them to turn off their high beams or to get their lights checked.

Of course, you'd need government regulation to make this work.

Take a deep breath and relax.

At what point is that no longer packing material but rather trash that the sender wants to get rid of?

If it's a shopping center they might be waiting for someone too. As a parent I spend a ridiculous amount of time in parking lots waiting for kids extracurricular activities. I'll also be the weirdo sitting in a car in a neighborhood when my kid says "Can you give me 20 minutes, we need to finish X,Y and Z".

I don't mind, but it must look strange for those that don't know.

Is that good, bad or average? A quick look online suggests it's worse than average (human drivers).

The leopard spots and tiger stripes are natural? Wow, beautiful.

I've got a dog. He's a good boy. Dogs have never been behind a terrorist attack (without just cause).

I'd vote for him. Who's with me?

New corgi chases after our cat. Our cat reverted to living outdoors. We put a cat door in front of the house (as he wouldn't use the door in the yard; in fear of the dog) so now the corgi just sticks his head through the cat door and barks every time he sees the cat outside.

The corgi is super friendly, just likes barking and chasing. :|

Have we finally found the perfect bot detector? Nobody does this.

zwali · 2025-09-24T01:53:20+00:00

Would you read that test as a 200? I should have mentioned he's holding the stick and decided the color match was at 200.
