Today I Learned

Post Reply New Topic

Today I learned that if something on my phone is inexplicably not working (no internet in this case) the fix is the old tried and true: restart it! That's the first thing you learn about using a computer but sometimes it doesn't occur to me that the phone is just a computer.

I couldn't call an Uber because I couldn't figure out how to get the internet to work on the phone, so I had to take the bus plus a long walk and it really wore me out. Now I'll be tired for days.

Learned that the majority of the middle aged population where I live in this densely populated area of this suburb
Whom are people that parents didnt want to actually raise their children well ..spoiled them .. never moved away from their aged parents houses and just want to engage in purely self gratifying pursuits ...( never developed any work ethic)
and seem to attract others that behave that way and are just hanging out . Engaging in more serious drug use. And it seems like a generation ,has been lost to this behaviour . But I write from a retired persons point of veiw. Wish some of these folk might take advantage of the work support programs available in this city . .but whom am I to judge

Today i learned that not measuring the powdered sugar for the cake glaze can make it way too sweet and that i should taste test the glaze stuff before smothering the entire cake in it

Superworms can eat styrofoam.

Wow I threw a load of that away last week as well

Between 2004 and 2018, 23 World Drivers Championships have been won by someone named Seb in WRC, F1 and Champ Car.

Today I learned that love is easier than war. The culture of life is better than the culture of war. The culture of war is part of the culture of death and fear.

I was on TV Tropes and I learned about a British anti puppy-mill PSA for a toy dog called Suzy Puppy. The PSA plays out like a toy commercial where a little girl is very happy to get Suzy, but because Suzy has been cruelly raised in a puppy mill where people only sell puppies for profit, she has all kinds of horrible diseases like conjunctivitis and canine parvovirus, and the little girl gets a lot less happy as Suzy's condition worsens and then she dies and the girl has to bury her. It was pretty disturbing.

And then they came out with an official real plush toy of Suzy Puppy, and on the box it proudly says now she has worms!
The toy comes with a birth certificate saying her mother in the puppy mill was killed after Suzy was born, and is only six weeks old (the UK has a law that puppies need to be with their mother for at least eight weeks). She has one bulgy bloodshot eye from conjunctivitis and comes with plush poop because she also has horrible diarrhea (which could be a symptom of parvovirus)

Holy gods.
