Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

The comments in that thread are so lovely. Debates on ages of a prodigy to what type of instrument she is playing to how good or bad she is. People are so smart and talented they want the world to know from their Twitter/X response.
 
Out for the afternoon dog walk, I had an idea for a super-villain(?): Captain Stupid. Alter-ego: Darwin Charles. He doesn't rob anything or do any typical "crimes," but when he sees someone who is clearly too stupid to live, he kills them, (hopefully) eliminating them from the gene pool.

On a related note, for a time I was confused by how my smarts could've degraded to the point where, watching "Jeopardy!" I realize I'm no longer fast enough to be a viable contestant--yet it seems like the vast majority of people in the world are exponentially stupider than they were a few years ago. Then I realized: They have far more smart people than they need for "Jeopardy!" That's why they have screening: so they can pick the ones they think will be best for the show. Even if the average IQ dropped significantly they could still find smart contestants. They just wouldn't have as wide a selection to choose from.
 
Do you think there are any checks and balances at suicide hotlines, to make sure they don't get an operator who's just like "Y'know, you should stop being a pussy and just do it." :bergman:
 
Today I replaced the gaskets and bolts on a toilet. Technically it is an easy job, IN REALITY, getting the tank gasket to seat is not super easy when you can't actually get behind the toilet to see what you are doing. The youtubers made it look easy. I probably tried to tighten the wing nuts for 45 minutes before I realized the entire bolt was turning. I SWEATED AND I SWEARED.

I like nothing about toilet problems. But unless it is the most simple and basic repair, I'm almost as likely to just swap out the whole thing. You can get a whole new toilet for around $110 at Home Depot that will usually even include the wax seal. Shut off the water, drain it, take off 2 nuts and a hose, lift the old one off, putty knife the old wax seal, slap the new one on, drop on the new toilet, new nuts on the bolts, put the hose back on and turn the water back on and you're done. The biggest worry is if the bolts are too rusted. Luckily, I've never had that.

I had one leaky toilet that I replaced a couple things on and after the 3rd phone call and day of messing with it I just grabbed a new toilet and replaced the whole thing.
 
I'm mildly amused at the search results DuckDuckGo gleaned for "Borat Manboobs, Mayor of New York."
 
I WANT TO STAND AT THE END OF A PANDA EXPRESS/ASIAN BUFFET AND HAVE PEOPLE FEED ME BONELESS BREADED SEASONED FRIED CHICKEN UNTIL I PUKE.

Teriyaki, Orange, General Tso, you name it. Shovel it in. I want to see the grease oozing from my pores while my skin blisters with cottage cheez fat like an anime capital ship being destroyed by a missile barrage.

GEH! IN! MAH! BELLEH!
 
Big birds do not frighten me. Geese. Swans. Turkeys. It's kind of a meme that big birds are frightening. Bring 'em on. Fuck it. I'll fight Big Bird. He doesn't scare me.
 
For a long time I have tried to go with the healthy cereals: Wheaties, Cheerios, Raisin bran. Fuck it. I want me some Apple Jacks and Fruit Loops. Shit that makes your skin tingle and lets you see the 4th dimension if you have more than 2 bowls.

What about a DUCK THE SIZE OF A HORSE? Or, 100 DUCK-SIZED HORSES?

 
Did you ever get so old? Sheryll Crow. "All I Want to Do" ...giant car wash. All the good people, washing their shiny Datsuns and Buicks as best they can, in skirts and suits, before going back to the record store and the phone company..."

Who wears suits and skirts to go to work in LA? And who drives Datsuns? And who works at a record store or phone company? It's almost like watching Bruce Willis get off a plane with a gun, smoke a cigarette in the airport, and other impossible things.
