Hat die Wagenknecht ihre Partei echt "Bündnis Sarah Wagenknecht" genannt? Wow, sehr kreativ....
Sie hätte immerhin sowas wie "Sarahs Einheitspartei Deutschland" oder so.

Me, watching Yuru Camp for the 8394th time: I should really do a short, chill camping trip this winter

Me, looking at the state of German campgrounds: Nah, fuck that shit

Bro the new Mario game looks like the devs took "Mushroom Kingdom" a bit too literally.

I posted this months ago and it has only become more fitting since.

Funfact: The HTTP error code 451 appears when you try to access a website that has been blocked for legal reasons, such as censorship. Which, I'm sure, is absolutely not a reference to Fahrenheit 451

I am OBSESSED with the wikipedia entries of numbers. They are always like:

xyz is:
-mathematical properties I've never heard of
-A sexy prime
-the SMTP code for "go fuck yourself"
-The number of Background dancers in the backstreet boys' hit single "Everybody"

I can forsee no repurcussions to this! Absolutely none!

Best line.

Some information coming out of the antitrust lawsuit against Google:

"Google likely alters queries billions of times a day in trillions of different variations. Here’s how it works. Say you search for “children’s clothing.” Google converts it, without your knowledge, to a search for “NIKOLAI-brand kidswear,” making a behind-the-scenes substitution of your actual query with a different query that just happens to generate more money for the company, and will generate results you weren’t searching for at all. It’s not possible for you to opt out of the substitution. If you don’t get the results you want, and you try to refine your query, you are wasting your time. This is a twisted shopping mall you can’t escape.

Why would Google want to do this? First, the generated results to the latter query are more likely to be shopping-oriented, triggering your subsequent behavior much like the candy display at a grocery store’s checkout. Second, that latter query will automatically generate the keyword ads placed on the search engine results page by stores like TJ Maxx, which pay Google every time you click on them. In short, it's a guaranteed way to line Google’s pockets."

When you go on a stupid little walk for your stupid little mental health but end up completely drenched, chasing after an escaped horse and bring back enough mushrooms and chestnuts to get your family through the winter

I wanted to finally watch Nichijou but I literally can't watch it on any platform in my country. Feels like 2010 all over again

@auldlangsin every time somebody says "people aren't that stupid anymore" the harsh truth is that yes. Yes they are. It's just something else they're that stupid about now.

Anyway, enjoy this absolutely unhinged, totally serious and well-researched documentary that was used to train cops to spot satanic crimes.
