I used to work in a baked goods factory where scrapped product and ingredients got sold to a pig feed supplier
They constantly told the workers not to put any product that had touched the floor into the pig feed bins (the floor, aside from being the fucking gross floor, often had metal shavings, machine oil, etc. on it) but everyone ignored that rule and management barely tried to enforce it
Another reason to feel bad for factory farmed animals. Those pigs probably have lacerations throughout their digestive system. :(
why are we making console startup sounds less cool as time goes on :/
i haven’t kept my browser history since like 2014

cool ass premises but flawed executions
how about we gut the premise but keep the badass ninja schoolgirls and campy explosion-filled fight scenes and charmingly dated CGI, and let Angela Robinson direct it
this looks freakin sweet!
unless it’s a frictionless one made of physics-textbook-inium, definitely in the realm of possibility if you use it wrong really fast

A council in Japan has voted to remove its mayor who has been unconscious for several months.
is it not medically considered a coma by now?
also came looking for the Japan exception. [disappointed weeb noises]
Maybe some old tech or gadget you have laying around that isn’t worth much and you’re unlikely to user/sell/repurpose. Just make sure to remove any kind of battery, and wrap the device in paper, then plastic to minimize chance of corrosion damage and mess from plasticizers breaking down
A construction/utility worker in 50–100 years may get a kick out of seeing a midrange smartphone from 2010 the same way I’d be thrilled to find a cheap trypewriter or electric clothes iron from 50+ years ago. Mundane things don’t tend to get intentionally preserved, so it’s fun when you find one.
impossible to know until you try. I’m really oily and have intermittent acne, yet can* use coconut or olive oil as a face moisturizer without it triggering additional acne. i don’t understand it at all.
in fact the best facial soap I’ve ever used is my hipster friend’s soap he made in his apartment by saponifying just olive oil
*I usually don’t though cuz it feels gross lol
as someone who has tried to use regular bar soap as shampoo
yeah that shit will WAY over strip your hair oils. at least try using a “moisturizing” bar soap and you’re gonna need a fuck ton of conditioner also
deadass the only people i ever met who bragged about intentionally committing fraud (hiding income and claiming dependents they didn’t actually support, in their case) to qualify for benefits were also the pasty whitest trash I’ve met
also they were just generally mean horrible people
and i’d rather a million fuckers like them get their undeserved benefits if it meant nobody who needs it ever gets denied.
this could also massively boost overall public health because if everyone automatically got SNAP, they’d have no incentive to try to save money by buying shitty cheap convenience food
a lot of people would be able to spend the extra few dollars to get the frozen dinner with more vegetables, the fresh (cold) deli sandwich, the whole grain higher fiber options, etc.
and since you can’t use it on takeout/restaurants, a bunch of people are now more motivated to cook at home with their free food money (even if the cooking is just heating up prepared stuff that’s often healthier than fast food)
after 10 years or so we’d probably save billions in public health costs alone
about damn time
