Can't up vote this one enough

They have become a real problem in many places. Cities are having to spend our tax dollars removing "fatbergs" from their sewer systems. Too many people are pitching all kinds of things down the drain. Apparently the worst culprits are wipes, disposable diapers (!), and grease, that then congeal together making a fatberg that plugs up the system. People, please just toss you trash in the bin! Toilet tissue is the ONLY THING specifically made to dissolve so it doesn't cause problems.

It's not any of those things.

Like we germans had with the German "Democratic Republik"

I'm sure the Supreme Leader is very interested in your naming critique.

Any country with democratic in its name tends not to be.

Any country with the word 'democratic' in its name is anything but.

Things are ramping up over there with South Korea.

Yes, and just smaller

Growing up on a farm, life held no secrets. When we dispatched an animal, we referred to the act as putting the animal down. But even as kids, we knew it meant death. I think suburban kids lag behind rural and city kids who see various shades of life on the daily.

I'm still waiting for that money from the Reagan years.

Yes, that looks like ringworm, so I don't understand the furore *https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ringworm/ *

Me too but not for the same reasons.

Doesn’t contain any islands in it either.

Conservative doublespeak. Just like citizens united.

To me, a waterboard should be what we used to call a kickboard, used during beginner swimming lessons. Or any kind of board used in water - surfboard, boogie board, etc.

"Yeah I'll be there in a sec, gotta put on my moccasins to go to the beach - OW F**K OW WHAT THE HELL HOW THE HELL DID THAT GET THERE OW OW OW also how did I not see that it was a snake OW OW S**T OW OW OW" - Someone, probably

Please post a video.

Sweetmeats on the other hand are, which makes it even more confusing.

"Right to work" means "right of employers to bust unions and pay their employees starvation wages."

"Inflammable" came first and makes sense, and I quote: 'we get inflammable from the Latin verb inflammare, which combines flammare ("to catch fire") with a Latin prefix in- (more commonly seen as en- in English, as in enfold) meaning "to cause to be." ' More here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/flammable-or-inflammable

Orwellian phrases.

Why is it on doordash? 😂

It's a "pregnancy" because it's a fertilized ovum. It's ectopic because it's "out of place."

You typically find them in of broken Dyson ball cleaners.

Their mission almost sounds reasonable until you realize it a bunch of Conservative jackoffs who want to indoctrinate people towards their skewed way of visualizing the US.

Her brother was called Sweet Jesus.

I used to work in a hospital. We somewhat-jokingly called it Goheavily.

These days you could just as well call it Nutty Putty Tomb. Because that's what it is.

Should be called diabetes water

and I found out it was misnamed the hard way.

In the UK, it's called the "cor anglais", ultimately coming from Middle High German "engellisches Horn" meaning "angelic horn". All very odd, really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cor_anglais#History_and_etymology

Golden Delicious on the other hand actually are really good.

Don't you like more seamen on your poop deck?

Here's the wikipedia-explanation to help understanding: "Yellowcake (also called urania) is a type of powdered uranium concentrate obtained from leach solutions, in an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores. It is a step in the processing of uranium after it has been mined but before fuel fabrication or uranium enrichment."

I thought it was just called board wax 🤔

HAMster 🤣

Ask Monica Lewinsky...

I went to a work event in the USA (from the UK) and they arranged to play it in the evening... I was really concerned until it was explained 😁

Makes those people being supervised the underblind?

Who the heII says "unloosen" anyway? Unloosen should mean the same thing as "tighten".

FSD, coming to a car accident near you.

Series of Unfortunate Events!

Yeah the cheese, cream cheese mayo and sour cream kinda cancel the healthy part out but it tastes good. Not what is pictured though.

Yeeaahh... Weak joke.

So much for that bag of chips I brought... darn.

The original name came from the propellent used in the replica weapons used, which was less powerful than CO2, "soft air". Due to translation differences this became "air soft" or airsoft as we know it today.

You need to get in touch with Henry Cavill.

They were invented a long time ago and was used for children until the correlation with Reye's syndrome was found.
