Why do people go to college to study socio-economics when they can read Terry Pratchett instead?

Hearing all the drama in the fitness community about “resolutionaries” has me more grateful than ever for my humble home gym 🙏

I joined the gym six months ago and there’s still no progress

I’m going there tomorrow in person to see what’s really going on

This egg discourse has me feeling the need to point out that Spanish style fried eggs are criminally underrated

Theory: part of the reason Meta is reworking their policies to be so extremely right wing and transphobic is because Zuck made some back room deals with Trump in response to his waffling on the Tik Tok ban. Insta reels is (was) the obvious replacement of Tik Tok goes away

If you need a break from what will no doubt be a LOT of bleak political discussion today, may I suggest a pair of spectacularly gorgeous images of colliding galaxies taken using Hubble and JWST?

Anyone else getting a distinct vibe of disappointment from right wingers online that the left isn’t trying to pull any shit today?

Definitely feels like they were hoping the left would pull their own J6 so that it would start to normalize their insurrection BS

I'm playing two chess grandmasters by mail. One as white, the other as black. I just send them each other's moves. They both think I'm a genius. Both invite me to their homes to make love to their wives as they watch from the closet. That's when I secretly charge all my electronics. Free electricity

I’m 100% in agreement that cooking is inarguably cheaper than eating out, but one aspect of the debate I haven’t seen mentioned is how expensive it is to START cooking.

If I want to make a stir fry, all I need to buy is maybe a few veggies I’m missing and a protein.

Also, most sites for hosting #3dprinting models will reward you for posting your models, replacement parts for my printer are entirely paid for using my Makerworld credits, with leftovers for filament - and I'm not even particularly good at it!

Knowing how to make your own 3d models really transforms #3dprinting from a neat toy into an absolutely indispensable household utility. Needing a super specific part, brace, mount , etc and being able to manifest it within hours is straight up life changing

Me and my wife are having our first kid soon, can anyone better versed in medical law weigh in on the RFK jr.s apparent war on the polio vaccine?

Specifically, living in a deep blue state, will I need to worry about being able to get it for my son? Or will state laws override his BS at the fed lvl?

Question for #reading buffs out there. Is there any service/app/whatever I can sign up for to get notifications when my favorite authors put out new books? I never seem to find out until it's already been out for a few months

It’s honestly hilarious watching the media try and fail to turn public opinion against Luigi. Every article I see tries some new tactic, whether it’s focusing on his family wealth, portraying him as a rabidly violent madman, or just childish shit like circulating unflattering pictures

To anyone who is daunted by the idea of setting up a domain to use #bluesky 's #verification system. You should know that you can handle the whole process WITHIN bluesky itself account.bsky.app/user/domains

It really is not as complicated as you might be imagining. And way cheaper than X
