I am not sick anymore. The sickness only lasted like 3-4 days this time.
In the meanwhile I binge-watched the entire “LOTR: Rings of Power” T.V. show.
There are tons of memes on Reddit, but this one hit home most:
It is the only meme that I can share without spoiling the show(also reddit linking doesn’t work on these forums anymore somehow).
According to a certain bald metaphysician, Göbeklitepe and other places that are dated around that time are going to be discovered that they’re much older, like 50.000 years old, by scientists. However, nobody asked him “how”, yet. He doesn’t get the chance to answer it because all of those hybrid children questions.
Firstly among the artefacts of Africa, archeologists found they could differentiate and classify those of less than 50,000 years into many different categories, such as projectile points, engraving tools, knife blades, and drilling and piercing tools. These new stone-tool types have been described as being distinctly differentiated from each other; each tool had a specific purpose. The early modern humans who expanded into Europe, commonly referred to as the Cro-Magnons, left many sophisticated stone tools, carved and engraved pieces on bone, ivory and antler, cave paintings and Venus figurines.
There was some kind of revolution then in technology.
OK, my brain just had a short and took me like 8 replays (three of them slow motion) to understand what is supposed to be going on. And now I don’t feel like even trying to figure what’s actually going on…
I’ve been collecting watches these past years. This is my daily watch and it is more durable&accurate than a Rolex while being hundreds of times cheaper. I remember it being a status symbol among the kids at school all those years ago.
He is bending the spoon, but the spoon is not bent after his bending. Of course realization of the fact that the spoon is not bent simultanously with realization of the offensive and obvious fact of him only faking the bending, is what some people find funny.
The value of Rolex is brand recognition… people know what a Rolex is, which is good for showing off, but that’s it, they’re not over-the-top good but people in the hobby know of better brands and of the absolute top watchmakers. And then there’s Richard Mille, whose products are the equivalent of repeatedly slamming a wristwatch into someone’s eye socket…
And now that I shared 90% of my knowledge on luxury orology, I’m off to sleep. Nighties lovelies!
Also: Björk (aged 23) opening and talking about a Sony Trinitron TV set, back in 1988
Honestly, I find watches with no dials hard to read the current time from and therefore I can’t grok why people buy such watches…but that’s just me.
There was a Dragon Ball Z episode about this. In the episode, the protagonist of the series had to fight a huge guy who never had a bath since he was born. The referee and every one else not fighting had to wear gas masks or something.
Once upon a time an astronaut landed on an alien world. The world was full of trees and plants and wildlife. But one species in particular caught his eye. Short and round with huge feet, they were kind. They sang songs all day, drank, and made merry. After observing them from afar for many days, the astronaut decided to approach them and make first contact. Upon speaking to them, he found that they called themselves the Jibbles.
The astronaut lived amongst the Jibbles for many years and found that they used a unique series of toe rings as currency. Unable to pronounce their word for the currency, he called them ToeKins, chuckling to himself at his pun.
As the years went by, the astronaut learned of a war-like race of Jibbles. They came to his village and raided their supplies. They beat up several of the sweet Jibbles, and they threatened the astronaut. Months of this had the sweet Jibbles exhausted, and the astronaut hatched a plan.
Taking all the gear from his spaceship, he snuck away to the mean Jibbles camp in the night. He met with their leader and offered him his wealth in order to buy a peace between their villages. Seeing the array of technology the astronaut had brought, the chief agreed to his terms. The astronaut asked for a sign of good faith he could show his village when he returned. So the chief removed one of his toe rings, took a knife, and sketched a crude picture of a jibble and the astronaut holding hands. This he gave to the astronaut.
Returning home, the astronaut declared that there was now peace amongst their villages! The Jibbles drank and made merry and everyone wanted to see the gift from the other tribe. Late that night, when everyone had gone to sleep drunk, the mean Jibbles snuck into camp and killed them all. Turning over the astronauts corpse, they found they couldn’t remove the ring from his hand.
And that’s why you shouldn’t trust non-fun-Jibble-toekins.
