isaacdude123 , in I'm so tired of this wheel crap.

My foreman in the quarry is a wheel fanatic. Now we are expected to mine, cut, and load into cart at twice the pace, because the 'haulers' (ain't hauling anything if you ask me) would be sitting on their asses otherwise.

Gods mercy make me foreman for a day and see what I'll do to stupid wheel.

einlander , in Kids today are so lazy. They don't know how to do anything for themselves. They just spend all day looking at their tablets. And cylinders.

Eat hot chip and lie.

there are many reasons why we should stay in Nineveh.

Name one good thing about Nineveh that doesn't revolve around pleasing Inanna.

Inanna, Inanna, Inanna. That's all you hear all day at Nineveh.

Now Marduk. That's a god.

God thing they specified before rock paper scissors cause other wise this looks like a beat off contest.

Synthuir ,

I hate it when the bros and I keep tying in the beat off contest 😞

bionicjoey , in It's a pretty funny joke, but it's funnier if you hear it in person.

I heard a good one recently:

A dog walks into a bar and says, "I can't see a thing. I guess I'll open this one"

I'm not normally one for blind dogs in bars jokes, but that's a damn good one.

stardustsystem , in AITA I (24M) Saw something weird in village today
@stardustsystem@lemmy.world avatar

Oh dear, you....might need to beg your gods forgiveness.

I've heard of other villages merging this tin with their copper to create sturdy tools and weapons, even ones capable of breaking bronze and wooden implements like shields. A marauder we captured last year called it "eyerown", but I didn't understand his language so please confirm with your elders.

Our village has such a traveling merchant we've traded with in the past who was able to get us a small amount of tin. We've only used it to produce elaborate bowls and chalices for our leader, at his request. He likes the way they shine in the sunlight.

threelonmusketeers ,

You may be slightly mistaken. I believe that merging tin with copper is the very way to create this "bronze" you speak of.

Our village also obtained some "eye-yearn" (similar to your eye-rown?) from a travelling merchant last year. We have been attempting to replicate it by merging varies quantities of copper, tin, and silver, but without success. We are beginning to suspect that it cannot be created through merging, and must be extracted with a process or ore unknown to us.

Might as well compromise and move to either Sodom or Gomorrah.

You're right. I will compromise. I will sell the wife.
