“What we looking at?”
Dog with pipe in mouth (1875) by the Minnesota Historical Society
some enterprising minnesotan, bobbing behind us on the wake of history, clearly had the right idea
If you ever, and I mean EVER think that you fucked something up royally, remember that the organizers of the 1904 Olympic marathon:
- Had zero stations for water on the 26 mile (42 km) course
- Accidentally gave North American competitor Tom Hicks a cocktail made of egg whites, brandy, and actual fucking rat poison
- Had a guy come into the race late wearing a beret and cutoff slacks, sneak into an apple orchard during the race because no food had been given to him for 40 hours, eat rotten apples, projectile vomit onto the track, fall asleep for hours, and finish in fourth place OVERALL because most of the other runners collapsed of exhaustion or injuries
- Conducted the race on a dusty road, which caused so much dust to be kicked into the air that an American runner somehow inhaled enough to tear his STOMACH LINING open
- Accidentally released feral dogs onto the track
- Fucked the other competitors up SO BADLY that Tom Hicks—the guy who ate RAT POISON and was HALLUCINATING the entire run—came in first place
Making friends with people from other countries is so crazy. I sent my group chat a Big Bird gif.
And this one girl says, “why isn’t he blue?”
I’m like, the fuck you mean??
So today I learned that in the Dutch version of Sesame Street, they do, in fact, have a blue Big Bird.
I was baffled by this so I went on Muppets Wiki and guess what.
In Mexico, Big Bird is green and his name is Abelardo.
Turkish Big Bird (aka Minik Kus) is apparently fucking orange.
This looks like a fuckin alternate universe or smth. I can’t.
What the fuck!
turns out when they say “don’t accept food from strangers” and “don’t get in a stranger’s car”, it’s actually about government vehicles
since cops disguise themselves all the time you shouldnt take anything anyone offers you in case they are a cop
I wonder if there are any artists around that can do an indigenous-Anishinabe version of a dragon in the Morrisseau style. I am in the planning or thinking process of making a door to pay tribute to the former residents of my new place.
but the way every site is just becoming more obsessed with being overly family and child friendly is insane. “i cant believe you’ve done this” getting taken down from youtube for ‘violence’. the way on tiktok if you want to subtitle your video you have to jump through hoops to censor words that arent even swears or sexual or else the video gets removed. i seen someone that had to censor the word diarrhea
