Hitler actually stabilized their economy

Literally my first thought at seeing that was "that's a 14 year old..."

The spike across all of them on Jan. 21st 😂

Can we also add "infinite economic growth" to the list?

A close up of a garden lantern with its light pouring out onto the large squash leaves around it. The light of the lantern makes stripes of yellow that radiate out from the center. The sky still has a hint of light, just after twilight yet still not quite night.

This photo of my squash leaves feels like the end of summer. Can't wait for 🍂 🍁🍂 #photography #photographer #picoftheday #nature #naturephotography #garden #evening #summer #fall #autumn #artsky #artist #art #artwork

Idk if I can justify $2 for a 10mg gummy 😭 why is my pack $20 all of a sudden? 😭😭😭

Black pepper or fennel seed 😂

Phone’s broken so I moved to my old iPad. Skylight won’t authenticate though 🥲

According to the Associated Press, gaining an hour tends to be easier for most people than losing it, though everybody’s internal clock still needs to adjust. Studies have found heart attacks and strokes tend to increase right after DST starts in March, while sleep struggles and depression (including seasonal affective disorder) can occur more often in the shorter days of fall and winter. As a result, experts recommend preparing for the changing of clocks by shifting bedtimes little by little in the days ahead. Aim for the same amount of sunshine or more to help reset your circadian rhythm for healthy, restful sleep.

Uh, I'm no expert, but may I recommend GETTING RID OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME?? People are having heart attacks? 😭

Oh thank god, I thought this was living in my skin 😭

While I don't think the entirety of the gun problem rests solely on the shoulders of our education system, using test scores to influence funding pushes focus towards cumulative academic ability instead of individual well being. Math, reading, and science, etc. are important, but so is introspection, and understanding psychology. Imagine kids in elementary school having lessons on emotions; how each one feels in the body, healthy ways to express them, what to do when a classmate might be overwhelmed. Then in middle school they start getting a dedicated, age appropriate phych class, mandatory every year until graduation.

Every child gaining the ability over the years to look out for emotional red flags amongst their peers, and call attention to them so they can get the help they need. Recognizing how the brain functions, and understanding various reasons for why a person may be acting the way they are. All of this, coupled with actual gun regulations, would create a society that is, on the whole, emotionally stable. Emotionally stable people don't engage in mass shootings, whether guns are available or not. Psychologically aware people understand the need for safety regulations and perhaps banning certain weapons, as not every person is guaranteed to be emotionally stable.

Instead, we force kids to memorize and regurgitate academic information to make test scores look good, and most of that information is lost after graduation anyway, because it largely does not pertain to the day to day lives most Americans hold. Bringing psychology, home ec, and in depth nutrition into schools would be far more beneficial than hammering the Pythagorean theorem into their subconscious.

I forgot I can use screenshots to write whatever I want anyway 😂

In regards to guns or just generally? I only have so many words on here 😂

Many of our issues stem back to our education system, unfortunately 😔

Why do some carrots taste sweet, and delicious, and refreshing, and some taste like the inside of a cigarette smoker's mouth? 😭

The book cover for Ken Follet's Fall of Giants, Book One of the Century Trilogy. Other text on the cover includes: "#1 New York Times Bestseller by the author of Pillars of the Earth. Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and historical information so vividly." Pictured on the cover is a manor house and a steam train.

I'm working through Fall of Giants by Ken Follett right now!

Peppa is so out of pocket 😂

Finally convinced my timid 4yo to watch SpongeBob and now I can watch my favorite kids show again 🥳

Just let nature be 😭

I'll never forgive people for cutting down trees. Especially when they're like 85 and probably have barely 10 years left on this planet anyway 😭 ESPECIALLY when it's not on their property and literally would not have affected their property in any way if it was allowed to keep growing 🤬

I've just been informed that if you have the free version of Spotify you cannot turn shuffle off. If they put ads on premium I'm gone so fast. What's your favorite alt music streaming service? 😤

A weekly graph showing a pattern of sleep that averages about 3 to 4 two hour chunks per day.

In case anyone was curious, this is what your sleep looks like when you're newborn food 😩 and I have it easier because other people can bottle feed and let me rest more...

(The blue blocks are sleep)

Yeah, I think that's what they meant 😅

It's 3am and I'm trying to YouTube myself awake while I keep this newborn alive, when I come across this absolutely niche gem of a video. SPG was truly ahead of it's time back in the day, because I'm pretty sure this type of thing is exactly what the kids are into now lmao

A screenshot of a comment by Marian that reads: "how about the fact that at the beginning Hamilton's phrase was "I'm [not] throwing away my shot" and Burr's was "wait for it," and in the end Hamilton died because he threw away his shot and Burr didn't wait for it"

Bruh, just when you think Hamilton can't get any better 😭

You can still buy through the app and get delivery 😌

I put in some headphones and expect to go the walking equivalent of 5mph 😭

I love watching new Bill Nye stuff. You can tell he's so done with everyone's shit that he can barely keep it together on TV 😂

A meme. A man squats next to a fresh grave, and gives a bro peace sign to the camera. The gravestone says "jesus". The man is also identified as jesus.

Obligatory Easter meme

Americans know a fancy set when they see one
