I absolutely can't tell the difference between Alec and Billy. The logic part of my brain says Alec is the focal point, but the "holy shit, how fucking spot on was 30 Rock" part of my brain is totally convinced he's the one on the right. Is Billy out-Alecking Alec here?
Daniel, btw, the one you've never heard of is Daniel. There's a reason for that.

Not long after the accident. Handsome before, handsome during healing, handsome now, and a seriously good dude to boot. Hamill is pretty much my forever crush.

Reply to Mushroom that looks like a butt by DeathShadow424
Every single time I start to think I've finally matured, there's a butt mushroom to remind me that's probably just never going to happen.

Reply to TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged
I wonder how he'd feel about that semicolon.

Reply to TIL "pruney fingers" are not caused by your skin swelling from absorbing water. They're actually caused by your nervous system constricting the blood vessels in the skin, causing them to shrink and the skin to fold over them. by OverdriverJC
Do people think A) wrinkling is caused by too much water, and B) skin absorbs it externally in great quantities like that?

You teach your kids that grace is intrinsically linked to finery and outward appearance, I'm gonna go ahead and root for the people that teach them it comes from kindness and compassion instead of material trappings. 👍

Reply to comment by Bierbart12 in TIL that for weddings, it is customary for the groom not to see his bride in her dress until the day of, since seeing it before is considered "bad luck". This goes back to the days of arranged marriages, where both parties didn't even meet each other until the day of the wedding. by HagridsLeftShoe
It's literally just sitcom fodder though. Like, every movie or TV show that features a wedding will inevitably have this trope.

Decidedly vegans. Unless it's specifically a halal or kosher company, pretty much nobody gives a flying fuck about religious food exemptions. The lactose intolerant, who make up quite literally over half the world's population, are finally (like, the past 5-7 years) getting to eat things that more than vaguely resemble dairy because of the vegans. Their inability to shut the fuck up about their food choices has honestly paid dividends for transparency, accessibility, and innovation.

Reply to comment by frankoyvind in TIL We are currently amidst the longest gap between EF5 tornadoes in history by Danielnrg
There IS more wind and less wind, there IS more rain and less rain, there ARE more fires and less fires, there ARE more hurricanes and less hurricanes, there ARE more tornadoes and less tornadoes, you're just too fucking myopic to consider anything outside the specific microcosm in which you live as valid evidence.
You might as well have said "Dur hur it snowed this year, where's the global warming??" instead of risking a potential migraine from "over" "thinking" it like you did. You don't actually get to beg to differ, because you don't know what you're talking about.
