Of all the things to admit on the internet, “I don’t know how bananas work” is one of the funniest

Spoken like a man who has never had to shop for himself.

Sincere apologies to any neighbours or passers-by who may have witnessed me brandishing a large kitchen knife at the window. There was a spider.

How illegal is making iced coffee from instant? Asking for a friend

An analogy to 19th century homeopathic hospitals springs to mind: useless, of course, but not actively harmful to their patients in the same way that bloodletting with unsterilised instruments etc was in conventional hospitals. Perhaps this is less dangerous than him spreading misinformation?

Apropos of nothing, I think that Musk should be encouraged to take a nice, relaxing space holiday in one of his own fleet. I'm sure the guy would benefit from some time off.

Would love to hear Eugene Fama weigh in on how SpaceX and Tesla's valuations square with the EMH

A guy went out to see what his dog was up to and discovered it happily playing with a capybara. Original post

What she does and does not consider forgiveable offences really speaks volumes about her priorities. Also just a very funny defence: "oh it's fine, the job isn't really important anyway? The bins don't care who takes them out"

Waterbeds are a thing, right? Well, has anyone tried freezing them? This seems like an excellent and very practical solution to sleeping in hot weather (shhh no, condensation and volume expansion definitely won't cause any issues)

AI is a very useful tool

If you spell your name Geoff then you should know that I will always read this as 'Joff' and mentally refer to you as such. Sorry.

Reluctantly conceding that there may in fact be such a thing as too much garlic (why no, my dinner turned out great and very edible, thank you)

Many excellent reasons to hate Hegseth, not least his war crimes and generally being a morally reprehensible PoS, but among the worse ones has to be ruining the word tepid. A perfectly good word until he came along, and one that I want back. Lukewarm just doesn't have the same ring.

How exactly did Britain end up with platoons of horrible, spite-crazed middle aged men doing tours of university campuses trolling and insulting students, then running squealing in terror to the press when they were - quite reasonably - asked to fuck off

Call me immature, but I do think that there must be better ways of driving workplace efficiency than abbreviating 'cumulative value' to 'cum value'

Losses expected to exceed $5 billion for the first half alone and a P/S ratio of almost 138, even before we get onto the reliance on government contracts and dodgy dealings? Yeah, I feel like the time to ask questions was *before* investing

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

Say what you like about Kemi, at least she has principles. Support for Net Zero or ECHR membership? Gtfo. Racism, anti-Semitism and assault? Welcome aboard!

Former neo-Nazi activist selected as Tory candidate for Somerset council election

Had thought that the heat stopped me from ever falling asleep last night but suddenly recalling that I did spend part of the night battling JK Rowling and a small army of vampires on a mountain of mouldy chocolate cake, which would suggest that I was not, in fact, perfectly lucid at all times.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonades* *grenades made of lemons, to wage war on life

You cannot claim to have principles and then conveniently ignore Rod Liddle's long history of misogyny, racism, homophobia and generally disgusting behaviour because he happened to advance your career or supported your transphobic agenda. Nakedly selfish opportunists, blind to their own hypocrisy.

calling yourself a feminist and then eulogising *Rod Liddle* is truly the brainworm's brainwork
