I’ve never noticed such a pattern myself and I’m not sure I’d agree that most kings are depicted as red-headed. It would be a little odd considering the relative rarity of red hair in people. What specific depictions are you talking about? Could you give us a list of examples? If you google “cartoon king”, you’ll find only a few redheads among dozens of brown or white-haired kings, which is what I’d expected to find. Maybe if this is a legit trend you see, it could be regional thing? Are there many red-headed people in your country?

Yes. If you weren’t aware, the YMCA was a very common meeting/cruising place for gay men back in the day. The YMCA used to be known for providing cheap food and housing, so it attracted a lot of dudes to come stay there and some of them were gay. Gay bars weren’t really a thing for the most part, so other places like the YMCA became the default. It’s even more convenient if you already happen to live there.

As early as 1919, the YMCA was already a common cruising spot for both members of the US military and civilians. Some guy went up to FDR (Assistant Secretary of the Navy at the time) and was like “Want me to catch some of the gay dudes in the Navy?” When FDR approved, the Navy sent undercover twinks to the YMCA in Newport, Rhode Island to fuck a bunch dudes and report back like, “Yep, they were gay. I know because we fucked.” Pretty shitty, since the result was a court-martial and some people ended up getting sent to naval prison or dishonorably discharged (a few were found not guilty). The investigators rarely expressed any objection to the sexual acts in their reports, either, so it’s a little messed up that they’d get dudes in trouble for fucking by fucking them. I can still find an element of humor, though, in the fact that the US Navy was cool with sending specifically young, good-looking dudes to honeypot sailors into boning as a means of investigation all the way back in 1919. It was known as the Newport sex scandal if you want to read more.

Are those real stockings? During WWII, almost all the synthetic fabrics being produced were being used for the war effort, which made stockings incredibly difficult or impossible to find, so women took to drawing on the “seam” with makeup instead. Maybe they’re inspecting how good of a job they did at faking them?

Hmm, well that’s a little suspicious. It certainly sounds like retaliation. And the police saying they were chasing him to protect him? What?

The basic rule is that if you can drop the name and the sentence still makes sense, use a comma. It still applies to greetings, since a greeting is still a greeting whether or not you use a person’s name while doing so.

You wouldn’t use a comma if you said something like “Jack went to work.”

That’s a correct use of a comma. You often use commas when using a persons name. Isn’t that right, Grandwolf?

“Mom, have you seen my keys?”

“I’m off to the store, Sarah.”

“My best bud, Zach, is a geologist.”

Say no to ecofascism, kids.

Also, despite what some mushroom books will say, it’s not the 🤮😵 kind of poison (except in rare cases)

It’s the 😵‍💫🤤 kind of poison

Basically. Top it with olive oil, olives, and some anchovies for a traditional fisherman’s snack.

Wouldn’t most pizza snobs say that Margherita is the most pure pizza? After all, this guy doesn’t actually like pizza, he’s just using it as a vehicle for all that extra cheese. Hell, pizza Marinara doesn’t have cheese at all and originally didn’t even have tomato sauce. Surely that’s even more pure? I guess I’m a pizza snob snob. /s

Also, It’s kind of a stupid opinion. It’s ignorant of some absolutely fantastic kinds of pizza like capricciosa, which is one of the most popular kinds of pizza in Italy. If the inventors of pizza say plenty of toppings are fine and even good, why be so prescriptive for everyone else? If OOP could expand their definition of pizza, they might even get to try the magnificence of pissaladière.

If this is how I hear about Quincy Jones dying, fuck you

Yeah, but you came into my room

People always freak out over this picture but it’s just a joke about motorcycles. Bumper stickers say “Yamaha” and “Look twice for motorcycles”, but it seems to be partially torn so “for mo” is cut off.

Yeah, it’s this iconic image. There’s a meme that claims this image was on Osama Bin Laden’s hard drive.

Ah, fresh from the tree! There’s nothing else like it…

Honestly, maybe not the easiest concept for Disney to pull off when more than a hundred of their films (a little over half) have a main character with one or both parents dead or missing. Even with just the ones on the box, Ariel’s mom is dead, Max’s mom is dead, Tiana’s dad dies off-camera during the movie, and we all know what happens to Mufasa.

I actually wondered the same thing while I was writing lol. Further research is clearly warranted 🧑‍🔬🔬

In his 1953 autobiography, Danish explorer Peter Freuchen claimed that in 1926, he became trapped in a blizzard while running a dog team and was forced to take shelter under his sled for 30 hours while snow built up and froze around him. When he tried to emerge, he found he was entombed in ice and unable to break free with his hands alone. Thinking quickly, he took a shit right there, shaped the turd into a chisel, and allowed it to freeze solid. He then claims he was able to use his newly made tool to chip his way free and make it back to camp. Peter was the only witness to his supposed escape. The study mentions it’s based on an Inuit ethnographic account, however. Maybe Peter, having spent much time in the Arctic with Inuit peoples simply took the story for himself. With the runners of the study finding that they were unable to replicate such a technique, it lends credibility to the claim that story may have been fabricated.

Good thing we also have more thylacines than ever before, right?
