#signage #fonts #fontchoice #funny #daycare
A large homemade sign has been erected from a phone pole in front of a house. The sheet (of plywood?) is white, with ragged, orange-red text whose spray-painted letters go downhill and have paint drips trailing down to the bottom of the sign. The lettering looks a bit scary or spooky. The sign says, "DAY CARE". The title above the picture says, "Font choices matter."

"People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is -- just be a little kinder." -- Aldous Huxley

"It's strange to work in a hospital. You know, in one room there's a father holding his son for the first time, in another room there's a son holding his father for the last time.

"And then in another room there's a guy with a remote stuck in his anus. It's the circle of life."
A hospital room is shown. The accompanying text says: It's strange to work in a hospital. You know, in one room there's a father holding his son for the first time, in another room there's a son holding his father for the last time. And then in another room there's a guy with a remote stuck in his anus. It's the circle of life.

Where are the adult versions of field trips? Like, "Sorry, boss; I can't come in; I'm at the science museum with a Capri Sun."

#tvscreen #menu #Bluetooth #PasswordFail #funny
A picture is shown of a fast-food burger joint. A worker in back is making fries. A woman is standing at the left of the frame. LCD screens overhead show various food offerings... ...except for the third screen from the left, which appears to be showing a video game or a movie (but definitely *not* an item from the restaurant's menu). Above the picture is text, which continues below the picture: "Fun fact: The TV menus at most restaurants have Bluetooth ... and the password is usually either 0000 or 1234."

A blue plaid cat-bed has been placed atop a piece of furniture, right in front of a window. A mostly-white cat is in the bed, lying on its back, four legs splayed. The caption reads: "So much to do; so little desire to do it".

A yellow warning sign is shown, having been posted on a phone pole. The top of the sign says "CAUTION" and the bottom of the sign says "PEDESTRIANS". In the middle is a picture of pedestrians running away from a forklift. The slowest runner appears to have been impaled through his torso by the raised forks. The caption above the picture of the sign says, "Apparently being a forklift operator is a lot of fun".

No, I think she's winning.
A gray cat is shown lying on a green couch. Four remotes have been balanced on the cat's side, and a roll of cello-tape is balanced on its head. The caption says, " My cat took my spot on the couch, so I decided to annoy her enough to get her to move. We are at a stalemate."

Unpopular opinion: I don't think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; I think it's okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die.

#geology #rocks #jasper #sandwich
geologywonders1 says, "An absolute insane piece of willow creek jasper". In reply, Blue Heron Farm says, "I'm sorry, but I need you to see this rock that looks like a sandwich that I just found on Instagram". The picture shows the smooth flat of interior of a rock, light brown at top and bottom, with coils of vegetable green and lunch-meat pink. The rock looks exactly like a stuffed club sandwich.

#fart #AI #neuralnetworks #funny
Subject line: I trained an AI on three months of continuous fart sounds. Here's what happened. Text: So I collected 2.5 million feet samples (approximately three months of non-stop farting) and trained a neural network on them. The results: * It can identify your diet with 87% accuracy from a single fart. * It learned that there are only 7 basic fart types (all others are combinations) * It started generating "fart symphonies" that actually slap. * It predicted the stock market with 52% accuracy (barely better than random, but still). Most disturbing discovery: When I asked it to generate "the perfect fart", it created a 3.7-second sound that made my dog cry and my roommate move out.
