Currently resisting the urge to get "BULLSHIT" tattooed on my hand so that when some #Portland hippy starts spouting pseudoscience, I can ask them if they'll "read my palm".

Getting really tired of my massively expensive health care company sending me ads for already-free apps in place of actual mental or physical healthcare.
No, I don't want to meditate with the "Calm" app or talk to an #AI therapist to help me get over the death of a loved one.

Does anyone else judge people who refer to multiplication by saying "times it by" instead of "multiply it by"?
To me, saying "times it by three" is like saying "plus it by three" instead of "add three" - which, I hope we can all agree, would be absurd.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.
There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.
"Curious. What ritual is this?"
"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"
"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

#TIL that if I become mayor of a town, I'm allowed to just set the time zone to whatever the hell I want.
I need to become mayor.
I NEED to have a time zone that constantly flips like GMT+10 and GMT-63.5, and then it's GMT-8:03:11:40, then on Thursdays it's GMT+2π.

Can anyone explain to me why my dryer has a "whites" setting?
Or what the heck the difference is between "normal" and "regular"?

Correction - this is so fucking hilarious that I'm now selling the handbook third edition on audible.
It's like four bucks, and the Kindle edition addon is only two more.
So the Kindle version is $6 instead of $10 if you're enough of a madlad to buy the audiobook version.
