My kids used to call the play place with all of the inflatable bounce houses "the bouncy store".

My eldest couldn't remember the name for bagpipes and called them "autotuned hornbags" which is one of my favorites, and I still use it.

In relation to mario kart, we had no idea what the superhorn was called, we always called in "The Honkerbanger". Likewise we didn't understand what the drafting sprites were in MK on the wii, it looked like the person in front of you was sweating big droplets of water. We'd say we were "getting sweat".

On a similar note I'll mention Dendrocnide moroides better known as the gympie gympie tree.

"Revoked a scientific finding" is as smart as saying "water not wet anymore".

Why would anyone believe he would deescalate something? Why would anyone believe anything he says?

I live on the edge of the soda / pop line in western NY. I grew up firmly in soda land, and that's what I call it.

What is pop? That's your daddy. Or music. Or goes the weasel. Certainly not your beverage, man.

At least we don't call everything coke, I guess.

SOMA is the bomb. I came here to post this.

We observed the higgs boson just 20-ish days off of the maya's predicted date for 2012 if you factor in leap years, which they did not account for.

They somehow knew we were going to observe quantum phenomena and collapse realities around this point in history. We broke something by observing the state of that particle.

We finally had to break down and accept a smart TV as our last purchase. I didn't want anything like that on my network. It never gets updates, it never talks to home, it never asks me to agree to anything. The way a display should be.

I do have a few IOT monitors, but they are relegated to the banishment VLAN and are unaware there is anything else on network in the house.

For those who want an dumb TV, you want to shop for a commercial signage display. It's what a TV should be.

Projectors are also a good option if you want a huge picture with a simple display.

As others have stated, water expands when it freezes, making it less dense.

You wait. Narcan is not given for Cannabis.

Cannabis overdose results in illness but never death. You wait for your body to metabolize it. The LD50 is high enough where medical professionals don't consider it a risk at all.

*Because *I replied to a comment that says "that's a download button".

I made no other comment, and what I said is correct.

I'm blocking you to stop you from wasting any more of my time because you can't read.
