If wetness is the property of having water on something, what is the property of something in water?

I’m firmly on the side of “water is not wet” in this debate, but it’s a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it. Water cannot itself be wet because you can’t get water on water. However, what is a fish in a lake? It can’t be wet until it’s taken out of the water, but it’s not dry...

I’m most looking forward to investing in stocks.

American media regularly censors the word ass but not the English word arse despite most Americans not knowing the difference is spelling not pronunciation.

Edit: I don’t mean they sound the same I mean the word arse is pronounced how I figured British would pronounce ass with the drawn r rather than the way arse is pronounced (at least where I’m from) it’s a hard r

About half of the stuff on Reddit is just "Best of Twitter"

What if Tyrannosaurus Rexes moved and walked like chicken do?

Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.

Later generations will have less attachment to how things were when they grew up because everything changes a lot faster.

Or at the very least less common attachment because they grew up outside of a monoculture.

Money doesn't make people crazy. Money lets people stop having to act sane.

The greatest insult of our time is to accuse someone of being an AI chatbot.

The number of times I’ve seen this accusation in the last year is astounding.

PEMDAS is technically correct, but morally wrong

If we’re supposed to be able to understand math as easily as a language, we should be able to read it from left to right like a language....

Elder waitresses should be called something else, like waitrons or waitriarchs.

If nudity weren’t as taboo as it is, most political rant TikToks would be filmed in the shower, instead of in the car

I used to go into the store to find a game. Now I go into the game to find a store.

Are you actually horny or do you just need a shit and it's pressing on your prostate?

Sorry didn’t know where to post this and it’s been heavy on my mind.

The people living in the world of "A Quiet Place" must be IMMENSELY skilled in judging/trusting their farts

If someone built an anti spam AI bot to answer spam calls the phone lines would just be call centre bots talking to AI bots

Google Apps are like junk food, bad for your health/privacy, but very good in taste/product otherwise.

Think about it, Google Maps is (I think) the biggest collection of map data and information on locations everywhere around the world, yet I don’t want an advertising company knowing that I just went to a fast food place....

Literal shower thought.

While in the shower today, I realized that I’ve used Irish Spring soap for over 25 years. For two reasons. One: it’s green. Two: this commercial....

If the Spiderman character was invented today, he would be stopping school shootings

Al Jazeera could probably fire/replace its writers with LLMs, rebrand as AI Jazeera, and no one would immediately notice.

I’m not dunking on their writers, just how Al and AI look the same in most fonts.

There's more people who wake up at the same second than people who fall asleep at the same second.

Somewhere along the way Humanity lost the ability for long term thinking.

Imagine if we prepared for Covid back during influenza. Also we should have realize smoking is bad for you.

Cooking is just applied chemistry

You mix together chemicals and compounds, delicately adding them and heating them at specific temperatures to get a desirable output. You often have to care for other factors like air flow (how much to leave the pot closed or open) and material weight (like not adding too much in a cake or it’ll all sink to the bottom)....
