Re the disclaimer - This might be an old meme, but it's still very light-hearted and can be interpreted in a few different ways.

If either a man or a woman finds this offensive, they are doing so entirely for personal attention and I'd rather "spark a conversation" with a brain-damaged goat than with boring cunts like that 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Sorry old bean, I fell asleep halfway through your comment

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Dandelion leaves are like crack to ducks and geese and you can use them to influence said fowl for your own nefarious purposes

Hugh_Jeggs ,

If only a very small handful of people make the same mistake, it doesn't evolve the language, it's just a mistake, plain and simple.

I know you're just trying to make yourself feel a wee bit morally superior by saying that, but it's the complete opposite of how language evolution works

Hugh_Jeggs ,

It's still a mistake, no matter whether yo cn undrstnd th sntnce

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Article reads like it was written by an LLM that watched too much TV

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Devil's advocate -

Isn't 0.4% of a gigantic city's budget for just library services really fuckin expensive?

Do they mean that their budget's been cut by 50+ million?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Aldi has been doing it forever

That's because most supermarkets in Europe have had these systems for about 15 years. As usual, the yanks are a decade behind and find a way to use it for greed :(

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Excellent answers and I'd add -

Baaa-ing at lambs and baby goats - they're incredible vocal little guys

Sticking googly eyes on things (not artwork or statues)

Feeding ducks - one should always use canned peas because they sink slowly, creating a kind of "How low will it go" game

Befriending geese - this is remarkably simple. Just walk past them every day and feed them a few dandelion leaves. Within a month or two you will have your new friends that you can pat on the head, and for some reason they show their affection by nibbling your shoes

More UK/Europe based communities

Americans shoehorning (their own) politics and religion in every single comment thread is so unbelievably boring

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Well put, but my point was that politics and religion shouldn't ever be mentioned unless you want to start an argument. It's just not a thing in civilised countries. You just don't talk about it because nothing you say will change anyone's beliefs about either subject in any way whatsoever, and it's just antagonistic.

Americans will bring politics or religion into meme threads, shitposts, casual conversation, comic strips etc etc

If you're not on a political sub or a news sub, you're here for a laugh, and fuck me neither of those subjects is ever humourous

Pls stop 😅

Hugh_Jeggs ,

In many places

In very few places ftfy

Hugh_Jeggs ,

This could kill a European

If it didn't contain so many banned ingredients

Hugh_Jeggs ,

English or English [Simplified]?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Imagine a society so fucked up they verbally assault someone for wearing a mask. How fucking barbaric do you have to be to do that?!? 😂

Hugh_Jeggs , (edited )

Depends on the surface. If it's stone or something, no probs, bleach will do it

If it's wood, ha ha no luck, it's a bastard to get rid of. Damn near impossible

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Yeah unfortunately it'll get into the grain of the wood and just keep reappearing once you clean it :(

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Hugging ✅

Snuggling - Not really a problem

Playful wrestling - Guaranteed the guy who instigated it is in the closet, same with most people who watch actual wrestling

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Just to be pedantic, mowers are 4-stroke because they need torque, not speed

Things like chainsaws are 2-stroke

Hugh_Jeggs ,

worry about it starting every season

Honda. Any mower with a Honda engine will start first time every time

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Reading these comments about the defence budget, I'm trying to remember the last time the US "defended" themselves

Was it in 2001 when they "defended" themselves against Saudi Arabia by attacking Iraq?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Ah yes, that's what Bin Laden was doing too!

Terrorism

Hugh_Jeggs ,

What, you expect us to remember in which order they started genociding brown people?!? 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Why would anyone attack you? You'd have to spend decades destabilising the planet through pure greed to make people angry enough

Hugh_Jeggs ,

water engineer

You MAKE water!? How?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

They must have to stamp on it really hard

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Pretty much anywhere in Provence

Hire a convertible Fiat 500 and just drive

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Hmm wasn't expecting an actual answer on Quora but I was pleasantly surprised

Hugh_Jeggs ,

The rest of us can see the flag in the thumbnail 😂

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Sync. Unfortunately I'm on lem.ee which is shit for uploading pics but yes I can see the flag in the background

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Guy on the far left there is like "IT'S MAAAAM!!!!"

Hugh_Jeggs ,

You sound like you're 12

If you're going to troll, the bare minimum requirement is humour. That way your mummy can print out your comments and stick them to the fridge

Hugh_Jeggs ,

And one that prohibits "reduced to clear" labels from being too sticky so you can use sandwiches as gifts

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Is this like Robot Wars?

Hugh_Jeggs ,

You'd have to be from a pretty ignorant country to not...

Ah right, as you were

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Remember that period from about 2008 to 2013 when the internet was really taking off and the yanks spent their entire time online bleating about how much better the US was, how much more Freedom ©®™ they had, how much more money they had, how their healthcare was superior, etc etc etc, then for the last decade it's been slowly dawning on them that they had, to use their own vernacular "drank the cool aid" and that everything was a lie, they get fucked in the arse daily and those goddamn commies across the pond actually do have it way, way better than they could have possibly imagined?

It's payback time boyo :)

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Oh man, I would happily pay someone lots of money to sort out my digital mess.

Like, I run a business where I do different types of work for multiple properties, some of which is one side of the business, some the other. Some is indoor work at one rate, some is outdoor at another. Some of it is purchases, some is hours etc etc

Fuck me I'd love to find an app that could keep track of all this shit and put it all in one place, from Android where I note it down, to Windows where I do my invoices

It just doesn't exist :(

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I tried to weave my way through their overdesigned website and nearly vomited at the sheer volume of business-speak 🤢

Fuckin hell it's like AI scraped LinkedIn for taglines

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Gun owners are literally the most cowardly people on the planet

Yous are scared of your own fucking shadows

"Whatcha scared of, coward?" "Uh, just other cowards is all" 😂

We built a mean game to test AI's ability to apologise ( www.bbc.com )

The project was a test to see how artificial intelligence might change one of the most delicate types of human interaction: the interpersonal apology. The companies who make AI-powered chatbots suggest we should find ways to insert them into our lives when we don’t know what to say or how to say it. That’s all well and good...

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Personal opinion - Americans only think Canadians are polite because they're so fucking rude and selfish themselves

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Used to live in Paris and the waiters all thought Americans were hilarious. They treat waitstaff and cleaners like they're beneath them and in France that's a MASSIVE no-no. They're big on equality. The waiters would deliberately wind them up to make them angry.

Hence the British/American belief that everyone in France is rude. I mean the Parisians are, but just especially so to certain people

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I know! If it said "Friends, cake, tea" it would rhyme

Hugh_Jeggs ,

You say that like it'd be difficult to train an AI to complain when you piss on the toilet seat because they left it down

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Again, how's that helping the woman? Poor lass

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Oops I Did It Again, but this version

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Dropping one nobody has ever heard but it's amazing -

Jain - Come

Adorable

This is like walking into a newsagents and saying "Boo to paid newspapers"

Paywalls are as easy to bypass as it is to steal the newspaper and run away
