Omen, Excorcist, Nightmare on Elm St, Jason, Cujo, Friday the 13th - I was a very free range kid. The one that really sticks out is (IIRC) The Amityville Horror. There is a scene with these red glowing eyes down a dark hallway…the adult in me knows it was probably just some guy with two flashlights, but it still raises the hairs on my arms thinking about it

The microplastics in my body laugh at arsenic’s petty attempt on my life!

If you’re a chili purist, I’d recommend not ordering chili in Cincinnati. Way back when, some Greek guy wanted to sell Greek meat sauce to a bunch of Germans, but he wasn’t gaining any traction - because what sausage loving German wants Greek meat water.

He then had the bright idea of renaming it ‘chili,’ and an unholy abomination was concieved that day, it threatened to plunge all of existence into the void…actually if you’ve ever had italian (the tomato based) meat sauce on spaghetti, it’s kinda like that, just with a handful of cinnamon and neon yellow shredded cheese…because, why not. Folks in Cincinnati seem to like it though, so much so they sell it in cans in the grocery stores

I too loose it when people can’t get the difference, it’s like c’mon, you can’t be so lose with your words

Sorry, couldn’t help myself 😁

Don’t worry, it finally gets renamed in 2630

I see you woke up and chose violence. Dueling pistols at dawn it is then

For me, it’s actually much better for file name sorting - and just about everything else. It numerically orders items in a logical manner allowing for batch processing of large sets of data using wildcards or regex, but I understand that it may not fit everyone’s usecase…which is why, it seems everyday, there’s someone introducing a new date format

For me it’s YYYY-MM-DD https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html

Also, there is a special place for those people who keep making up new timestamps

I miss Final Space and Mooncake!

TiL. I’m going to have to play around with this, thank you!

I put it on basically anything that’s fatty/greasy. I feel it helps to balance out the flavours with the right amount of acid

I’ve been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I’ll let everyone know how it goes!

A small spider bite, which gives me the ability to punch someone in the mouth through their TV or computer screen…It has always been one of my ideas for an online business

When they initially created the Michelin guide (more a booklet), they gave it away for free to garages, automotive shops, and filling stations as promotional material. Unnfortunately because it was free, the employees were using it to prop up things, just left them laying around and generally didn’t use it as a promotional device. Once Michenlin started charging for the guide, drivers started looking more closely and started using the guides increasely for trips

Not me, but I recall a story from a while back. ISP tech answers call from an irate customer who isn’t able to get online. After basic troubleshooting, the tech advises the customer to power cycle the cable modem and router…the customer scoffs, how can I do that when my power is out? 😂

One of my local tea shops sells tea w/ basically these tiny hershey kisses mixed in. Honestly I tried it (Ex: Chocolate Drizzle) and it wasn’t for me, but if you really want that chocolate flavour it seems you can just straight up just add chocolate or sweetened cocoa powder to your tea. You may need to experiment to get the ratios the way you like it

I feel bad for both parties in these scams. The scammer, from what I’ve read, is duped into the job and threatened with violence and death (along with their family) to continue the work. On the other side are the poor kids who risk a level of psychological damage that may take years to repair, if it can be repaired…all for a few bucks

If you’re on a scam binge, the NYT (yes, I know) Daily podcast did a piece on how drug cartels are scamming people using the sale of property

Inspired by this article. Thankfully it seems more like a chest thumping move, rather than standard practice. It’s not like there are hordes of addicts ravaging cemeteries like some post apocalyptic movie
