pocket sized disaster

The funniest thing I learned from the notes on this is that people outside the U.S. not only don't have garbage disposals in their kitchen sinks, but when they're aware of them, they sometimes for some reason assume that it's for disposing of "trash" in general. The sink garbage disposal clogs and breaks if anything like cardboard or plastic goes in. It exists to prevent the sink from being clogged by all the gunk from your dirty dishes.

"for some reason" you call it a garbage disposal. so it must be for general garbage

Yeah, no shade to bogleech but "We cannot know why those non-Americans think the thing we call a garbage disposal is for garbage" is considerably funnier as a concept than said non-Americans thinking garbage disposals are for garbage

changsheng.....awooo

a good chunk of r/amitheasshole is like, adults having beef with teenagers (kids' friends, nieces/nephews, stepkids, etc etc) and a startling portion of commenters are always like...extremely unaware that teenagers are still KIDS and they're all "oh they're basically almost an adult and they should know better" like people are defending this parent who yelled at her daughter's friend to quote "get the fuck out of my home" during an argument with said child (???) like why are you having a shouting match with somebody else's kid, am i going insane

adults on r/AITA: "these teenagers are knowingly and strategically ruining my life. they are psychologically and spiritually problematic and they deserve to be morally eviscerated"

actual teenagers:

I love when you see stray cats experience joy and comfort the likes of which they've never even dreamed and they literally don't know how to respond to it yet. it's like they're just mashing every response button wildly, trying to figure out how to express this overwhelming feeling: PURR? KNEAD? BITE? SCRATCH? WRITHE? SNARL? MEOW? RUB?? ???

Gosh, that's a healthy motor, lmao. Perfect little baby. :')

We need shittable cities (actively maintained public restrooms).

A city without well-maintained restrooms is a city where many of the chronically ill cannot leave their homes, and where the homeless are criminalized for bodily functions. If I had a nickel for every day I haven’t gone somewhere with friends because I didn’t know the bathroom situation, I’d have enough to put in a sock and beat a couple of billionaires to death.

I literally can't visit Seattle anymore for this reason. I am glad I didn't move there.

American Restroom Association does a lot of good advocacy for things like this, and Project for Sanitation Justice maps out public toilets in the San Diego area. This article has a few more suggestions for places to start.

And for the people who seem convinced that leaving bathrooms open 24/7 is dangerous, you know what else is dangerous? Cholera.

Other people who need public restrooms:

A few weeks ago I tried explaining to my non tumblr friends what blorbo/eeby deeby/glup shitto/scrunglo/plinko was and it almost gave all of us an aneurysm

This was the post I was trying to explain. This was how I looked

Yeah I can see how this would feel like having a stroke to an outsider

Baby tumblr user here, so I think I somewhat understand but can someone pls attempt to explain in case I'm wrong? Thanks =3

I will try because it's funny. This is only 2 layers deep there's just a lot of funny words with contextually specific meanings crammed into level two.

Oh thank God someone explained all this shit...

Left to her own devices, a girl will literally get snuggled up oh so cozy in bed

see writing is funny because sometimes you have to google things like “can the human body survive with every rib broken” and other times you have to google things like “is there an ikea in manhattan???”

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.

it's kinda comforting to me when my friends are a little annoying or longwinded or abrasive or tired and inarticulate, or they don't do the exact politest thing in every interaction, and stuff, because I know I'm sometimes annoying, or take up a more than my share of conversational space, or forget to ask them questions, etc etc, and... like, I'm always working to be nice to my friends and to get better and better at friend-ing, but it just makes me feel more human about it :}

anyway I love you friends plz know I'm not counting, in fact I feel great affection toward you even (especially) when conversations go less than Perfectly Ideal

I'm not proud to say it but this line from a 60 year old detective novel made me re-think some things about friendship

‘redditors need to know this’, ‘twitterinas need to know that’… no. you need to know one thing and that is that you are not allowed to complain about werewolf fuckers. this is the werewolf fucking website. grow up and go fuck a werewolf.

What does this gif have to do with werewolves?

if you have to ask you’re not ready

can you explain? i don’t get it

This is like someone just informed the newcomers about the devils sacrament taking place every full moon and the devil itself popped up asking “what sacrament?” with a cheshire grin.
