all ya’ll admitting to ironing your clothes in the comments are a bunch of dweebs, just saying.
would you care to explain the punchline?
this joke doesn’t really make sense to me. even if Israel didn’t exist in 2025, why would everyone have just forgotten about it, especially when it was such big international news in 2024, and furthermore, for the time traveller to be able to pinpoint the year as 2025, that would imply that in 2026, there also exists Israel. and if 2025 is the only year that someone would not know about Israel, then why would the time traveller ask that question, when it only serves to distinguish between 2025 and not-2025. like, just ask what year it is, what the fuck.
words do area-of-effect damage, friend.
if you use the r-slur around me, even if its not directed at me, it hurts, and it makes me feel less safe with you, because of the way that word has been used to specifically target me for hatred based on my neurotype. plus there’s the fact that you acknowledge it to be a mean word for disabled people, and if you’re using it as a weapon against non-disabled people, you’re really saying ‘haha, you’re like those disabled people, and that’s terrible.’ i hope you can see how this probably doesn’t feel so good to a lot of us?
i think:
Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do
gosh i wish that were more true. given the equal representation of states in the senate, and the subsequent higher weighting of low-population states in the electoral college, the vote of a californian is worth a lot less than the vote of a wyomingian. and someone in washington D.C. has even less say. it’s a pretty fucked up pseudo-democracy, tbh.
well yeah, but also, you don’t pour grease down the drain so you can use it later. any time i’m pan frying anything, the pan gets a bit of bacon grease. if i accumulate enough of it, i’ll use it for deep frying too. throwing it out, down the drain or in the trash just does not make sense to me.
why the hell would someone throw out perfectly good bacon grease? or is that the joke, that the third fellow is deranged?
i think ‘mafia ramen’ has a nice ring to it.
having an SD card slot and headphone jack is much more important to me than durability
por que no los dos? i drop my phone on nearly a daily basis, because i am clumsy af, but the screen is more scratch and impact resistant than any screen protector i could purchase, and it’s still fine after a couple years of that abuse. it still has a headphone jack and removable sim/sd tray, and if it ever gets dirty i can wash it in the sink. i do wish it had a removable battery and a better camera, but nothing’s perfect i guess. there’s no reason sturdiness or waterproofness need to get in the way of any functionality.
the trick is though, they don’t market these sorts of phones to clumsy people, they more aim them at construction workers.
anyone want to explain what the joke is here?
thank you for sharing that article cause i had never heard of this and was completely confused.
correct. the latest numbers from the federal reserves estimates the total value of all physical US currency in circulation at about $2.3 trillion. meanwhile, this analysis of data from forbes puts the combined wealth of US billionaires at about $4.2 trillion as of April 2021, and that number has almost certainly risen since then. billionaires don’t run on cash, they run on manipulating numbers in computer systems, and most of their wealth is in the forms of stocks and such, rather than money in a bank account anyways.
here ya go!
