Some microscopic animals don’t have anuses, but that’s because they have one dual purpose orifice that handles food in both directions.

Fuuuuck. 2026 is the worst year… yet!

Agreed. I was in a number of ska bands throughout the nineties, but they all wanted to be third wave. I vastly preferred the sound and energy of first wave.
I’m sadly allergic to alliums. Onions, garlic, shallots: you name it, it wrecks my guts. The massive downside, beyond how they’re in everything, is my partner stopped eating them too and couldn’t stand them except in small amounts. They lost their tolerance for the flavor, so anything with a normal amount of onions tasted overpowering. I experience the same, so at least I immediately know if something has alliums in it.
Compared to the US 1990s to early 2000s ska revival skanking.
It’s a typo but the intended group still fits! Love it.
You and I both. I have nostalgia from years of using it in grad school for R. I found Kate is pretty close, but NPP runs fine in Bottles.
Considering this is a meme, I’m not sure which non-real numbers you’re referring to. Here are some real numbers about why you should let a doctor jam a camera up your ass.
It the United States, the lifetime frequency of colon cancer is 1 in 25 (4%) for men and 1 in 26 (3.8%) in women[1](https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/colon-rectal-cancer/about/key-statistics.html). Frequencies are similar for most Western European countries. It’s one of the most common cancers, being third in the US and second in western Europe as an aggregate [1](https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/colon-rectal-cancer/about/key-statistics.html), [2](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11905646/) In the US, colon cancer frequency is increasing amongst those under 55 by 3% each year and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in that group[3](https://www.cancerresearch.org/blog/colorectal-cancer-awareness-month).
It’s highly preventable. The majority of colon cancers begin as slow-growing polyps which are easily detected and removed. Doctors snip them off while in there. Easy as that.
If you do skip screening and get colon cancer, it’s fucking terrible to deal with, as are all cancers of the GI tract. If gone undetected, it will have slowly proliferated throughout your colon. You’ll experience bouts of severe cramping, constipation, and painful, uncontrollable, bloody diarrhea that prompt you to see a doctor. The affected length of colon will then be surgically removed. If you’re lucky, they’ll reattach what’s left to your anus. If not, they’ll route it out through a hole in your abdomen, called a stoma. Either way, you now have diarrhea for life, possibly in a bag you have to tape to your stomach and periodically empty, and you’ll have to shit much more frequently since your body can no longer effectively remove the water from your feces.
You’ll likely need chemotherapy, which will make you sick and miserable throughout its course as it often severely affects the gastrointestinal system. You’ll spend a lot of time in the bathroom, vomiting and emptying the even more rapidly filling shit bag on your stomach. At that point, you’d give anything to go back in time and let a doctor probe your asshole. If you’re lucky, you go into remission but will require increased screening for the rest of your life in case it returns. If you’re unlucky, you’ll die painfully, shitting and vomiting on your way to the grave.
My thoughts exactly. Why bother? They’re hopeless if they haven’t figured it out by now, so you’re just antagonizing an idiot. I’d rather spend my limited capacity doing something productive, though antagonizing idiots might be productive for some.
4·3 months agoI did a quick scan of your comment history and you seem like a nice, reasonable person. I’m baffled.
5·3 months agoCan confirm. I’ve spent several hours the last few weeks teaching a friend’s 24 year old daughter basic computer literacy on a W11 system. None of her friend group could help because they know just as little. When we started, she didn’t know how to shut down or reset the system.
I can’t support this comment enough. My last job was chemical and biological safety oversight but had a lot of overlap with regular safety people. It takes no extra time to ensure a circuit is properly locked and tagged out because anyone working on that circuit should already have their own lock on it, using a gang lock if there are multiple people.
Then you still prove test prove. For those not in the biz, this means to test your sensing equipment on a known live circuit, test the circuit being worked on, then retest the tester as before because breakers get mislabeled and meters break all the time.
On that note, there’s the time an energized circuit almost killed my sister-in-law. She said she understood 120v wiring, so was changing out a light fixture. She asked me for some help with getting it mounted, so I asked her if the breaker was off, and she assured me it was. As I was working on it, it let out a loud pop, slightly zapped me, and blew the breaker.
I’m normally a very nice, chill person, but I was fucking livid. I asked her to show me the breaker she turned off and she pointed to the fucking wall switch. Someone had switched it on, likely out of habit. I inspected the wiring and found she used a cracked wire nut and overtightened it until the hot wire protruded well past the end. I wasn’t grounded but I was holding the fixture… with my left hand. I could have had a heart attack if I had been grounded
It’s a boomer joke, but I was what almost killed her. I had never been so angry with someone before. We still love her, but we don’t let her work on anything with stored energy anymore.
I worked at three call centers over two years. It was the longest two years of my life and it took years to recover. I was once written up for “lying to a customer” because I confirmed something I knew personally to be true but my employer hadn’t included in our scripts. It’s like being in a cult.
Dude, it’s the opposite problem. Where do you think the sunlight goes when it hits a solar panel? It sucks it all up! If we set up too many solar panels, they’re going to use up all the sunshine and cool the globe until we have another ice age. Big brother petroleum has been saving us!
Either enjoy with three friends or use it solo and go four times as long between cleanings.
It’s “full self driving (supervised)” last I checked.
Single cab trucks prioritize cargo space over seating space, generally having only a single bench seat that fits 2 adults and a child, or three often uncomfortable adults. This truck prioritizes cargo space to a much greater degree, having only a single seat, so it’s aggressively “single cab”.
In no order:
