This might be the most horrifying thing I’ve ever read on this site


It's a pretty gruesome accident. Fire sprinklers became detached and started flooding the room after the collapse, so the gore of the situation escalated pretty substantially.


That name sounded familiar! Those were the days.


I do criticize where individualism and those kinds of societies have gone wrong, but I also think it's going to be very hard for a parent to control that.


A single parent, definitely.

A group of parents? I’m more hoepeful.

(In my country,) There are many levels of government between the individual and the nation. Sometimes that is a curse. But sometimes change needs to start locally. This is an excellent example.


Those almost sound like antonyms which is ironic given how closely related the two languages are


Dammit, you found my technique of “citing” sources for papers in high school...


At least when I pulled random citations off Wikipedia I could reasonably trust whoever put it there figured it was tangentially related to what was being cited. I’m not sure I could get away with putting a literal press release that I didn’t read anywhere.

Big L for media literacy there.


Even ignoring enjoying your youth and funding things that would provide that, most youth who make six figures are barely cracking that, and likely live in HCOL cities that eat so much of that.


You just angered a lot of cat people


In my experience most people lovingly refer to their cats in negative-sounding ways. One of the terms of endearment we used for our most recent cat was "stinky little piss baby". I think most cat owners are well aware that they're unsanitary creatures.


If your housecat stinks, it's likely unhealthy or you're not providing it with a clean litterbox or you have insufficient litterboxes for the number of cats you have.


He got the nickname while he was dying of cancer. He had stopped grooming himself because of his medications.

So you aren't entirely wrong, but rest assured that we were agonizingly aware of the ways in which he was unhealthy.


Calling your cat stinky does not actually mean they smell bad


dog person here : they're unsanitary how? they constantly fastidously clean themselves, from what i see. dogs roll in rotting anything for sport.


I suppose they're unsanitary in the same way all animals that aren't humans are: They don't was their hands? Cats don't strike me a particularly dirty creatures. They're not exactly clean and well groomed from nature, but no animal really is.

If you covered yourself in spit would that be sanitary?


you just made me wonder if the fact we sweat serves a similar purpose as your spit covering example.

(i don't know, but you triggered a thought!)


Nope, it's evaporative cooling (like a swamp cooler) for your body.


that's only the famous part of the story, though.

here's what i was thinking...presence of protein lysing enzymes in sweat as a protective mechanism.

I just use mine to doomscroll on Instagram and look at the fluorescent orange color like I’m holding lava


I used it for a while a year or so ago when it was in beta and gave 20M free tokens daily


Meta already has video feeds in facebook and instagram though, I imagine they wouldn’t want to detract users from those
