IggyTheSmidge , (edited ) to politics in Trump praises fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter during rally speech

How much d'you want to bet that Putin was waxing lyrical to him about Hannibal (the Carthaginian General and great military tactician), and the ignorant fuckwit assumed he meant Lecter?

Edit: typo.

IggyTheSmidge , to Terrible Estate Agent Photos in Oh my eyes!

I mean, I'm not saying I like it, but it probably looks much less garish IRL.
The estate agents have clearly taken the photos on an overcast day, then (with their usual cack-handed approach to photography) fucked with the sliders in Photoshop until the pictures look less dingy.

IggyTheSmidge , to Asklemmy in Did you choose for Linux for freedom or ...

I switched to Linux full time (I'd gone back and forth for a while) about 10 years ago when my XP laptop died.
I had access to Windows 7 via work, but I didn't like how much telemetry was being sent back to MS...

IggyTheSmidge , to Science in "Don't put garlic in your nose": The dangers of sinusitis misinformation on TikTok

Now I'm just imagining Pliny the Elder with access to TikTok:

Pliny the Elder, The Natural History - BOOK XXVIII. REMEDIES DERIVED FROM LIVING CREATURES:

The human bite is also looked upon as one of the most dangerous of all. The proper remedy for it is human ear-wax: a thing that we must not be surprised at, seeing that, if applied immediately, it is a cure for the stings of scorpions even, and serpents.

For the cure of cataract, it is reckoned a good plan to apply a wolf's excrements

IggyTheSmidge , to politics in Wisconsin ‘fake elector’ Andrew Hitt says he was tricked into signing document claiming Trump won in 2020

It's not my fault! The bigger boys tricked me!

IggyTheSmidge , to Ask UK in What's a British TV show that the Yanks did better?

Huh - I assumed they were the same thing.
I wonder if it never aired in the UK...

IggyTheSmidge , to Ask UK in What's a British TV show that the Yanks did better?

Cosby predates One Foot in the Grave - I remember watching Cosby as a kid in the 80s, and OFitG didn't show up until the 90s. OFitG became (I think) Curb Your Enthusiam.

IggyTheSmidge , to politics in Trump Says Anyone Who Donates to Haley Is 'Permanently Banned' From MAGA

"The devil told you that! the devil told you that!" cried the little man, and in his anger he stamped with his right foot so hard that it went into the ground above his knee; then he seized his left foot with both his hands in such a fury that he split in two, and there was an end of him.
