Which way is left? Why do people use left and right and not x degrees clockwise or the other way? Or to the North/ East/ South/ West... If it said "Look south by south-west" the reader may have looked to the right er, west? direction. Not to mention the fact that most people would have to get a compass out to figure out which direction was requested.

You can see where shadows fall during the day. When I was a kid, I was on bars like this a lot (the blocks didn't look as nice and clean as in this photo I found on the internet, but whatever, you can still see the bar). They were for beating dust out of carpets, but I used them as a monkey uses a branch. Or something. Anyway, I made my bar schedule based on the shadows. For example, I knew I could stay on bar #1 until 4pm in the summer, because that's when it stopped being in the shadow of the block south from it. Then I'd have to move to the bar at the next block. Because these were metal bars, getting hot in the sun. And sweaty skin would really stick to them in a way that felt really unpleasant when I was hanging upside down (like they hang from the trapeze at the circus). --- Unrelated

You might think this post is stupid, but the spoiler says otherwise otherwise

Quick animal fact: If you stacked every elephant in the world on top of each other, they wouldn't like it.

My socks are mocking me. I'm wearing socks with cats who are sticking their tongues out. So every time I look down, it looks like they're laughing at me...

That moment when you're watching a recording from a festival from the '90s and you look at the band... dafuq were they wearing? Then you see the audience... dafuq were they wearing? Then it finally hits you... dafuq were you wearing those days? I did wear some pretty dubious and embarrassing things in the '90s. And there's photographic evidence of some of it.

If your parachute doesn't open, don't worry about it. You'll have the rest of your life to figure it out.

The best safe word to use is 'Meatloaf'
It means, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

Of all the things that taste like chicken, it's weird that eggs aren't one of them.

I understand this is probably petty, but it still got to me. Long form twitter thread. Long story short: dude made multiple accounts with photos of cute girls from Russia that he took without permission off their social media, milked off #WomenInTech and other hashtags/ trends while tweeting shallow list-style coding tips he copy pasted off random websites, gathered tens of thousands of followers within months for each account and fuck knows how much money from donations and people buying pdfs with tips (that were probably rip-offs too). In the meanwhile, I've been busting my ass off to constantly produce original, innovative, high quality code for about a decade and it's only now I'm starting to be approaching the minimum salary level in Romania. Which is still ~25% of the minimum salary in Germany and less than 15% of the minimum salary in the richer countries in Europe.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you can bang his wife every weekend.
