CBC’s As It Happens covered this story last week and the amount of times the host said boiled chicken made me giggle like a small child (in my defense he was playing up how “good” boiled chicken is).

I was so tempted by that product but then I thought about the birds. 😢

Who are these monsters in your area that have water balloon fights on a fucking BEACH?? BAN THEM FOREVER.

Two for flinching.

The ‘story’ is perhaps the most important aspect of art. So many things are beautiful and rare, but it’s the piece with the best story behind it that wins the day.  

The Earth’s mass is too low and the Moon’s mass is too big for the Earth to have a ring system. Even then most of the space junk isn’t in the right place. Now if we had some sort of Supervillan Banksy would would blow up just enough of the moon, you just might get your Earth ring.

Magpies are the best corvids. Also possibly the best birds. Read more

Destin’s first video on Prince Rupert’s Drop was 4 years ago, explaining exactly what you explained in the article. So when you say they “finally” know. They have known for a while. Also you should explain that why the drop in the GIF didn’t explode when you can clearly see the tail breaking. It’s because they used a…

I watched it an hour ago, and I bothered me so much I had to come back and check if anyone else had noticed this.

“Sound of Music 2: Electric Boogaloo”
I’d totally watch that! I’d watch that before any Sharknado movie. That’s for sure.

Now just watch, in not even a couple months time, some stupid remaking of the Sound Of Music will actually be announced.

Of course Vin Diesel can pull this off. Here’s Morgan Freeman demonstrating the method that I’m hoping for. It almost makes hastening the helium shortage if it works out this way.

I would love it if they tried to do a Doom Patrol series. I even have the entire concept laid out where they have to fight “weird crime.” But yeah, it would be so weird nobody would ever greenlight it.

So you want a procedural mystery that also has very few special effects, can be done cheaply, but still has a pretty good hook and can grab you. You want something street level (like Daredevil), but not something that is just a copy of it.

You forgot “Artisanal”
