Was told by my wife that nobody "invented" okra. As if Throk didn't have cavemen over his shoulder going "science go too far Throk" while he was figuring out how to put seeds in a hole in the dirt.

Do you think Upton Sinclair would rather have worked in an 1890s meat packing plant, or a 2020 Amazon delivery van?

When your dad was a centaur and your mom was a mermaid but you rolled "the human part" in the genetic lottery on both. So instead of getting to be a cool fish horse, you're just a normal human. I'd be pissed if it was me.

(while I'm getting dragged to quantum jail for thought crimes) I just don't think they need to put scrambled eggs in pad thai, that's all. What's it doing in there? What's the point?

How is off-hours in #guildwars2 WvW different from playing in primetime? In the Borderlands Chat (Ep.3) Southeast Asia, Oceania, and European players give their thoughts on what the gamemode is like during these times, and what can be improved. youtu.be/WLPoYuIMoqw

Every time you tell a fortune teller what your birthday is they're always so optimistic. "Good birthday and omens, you will achieve great things, etc"

Show me the guy who's got a birthday that makes the fortune teller go "Oh no, you're an idiot and will do nothing with your life". I trust them.

The straightest man on Earth working in a laboratory to genetically engineer the hottest male that he can think of to prove his straight-ness empirically.

A physicist will tell you that a perpetual motion device is impossible, but I moved through my entire day without doing anything at all.

My executive content producer has informed me that actually Michaelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Unfortunate. See you all tomorrow I guess.

I wonder how much money Leonardo da Vinci could have raised on Kickstarter. He seems like the kind of guy who would have had some stuff going on there.

Sistine Chapel Painting Stretch Goal -- if this campaign hits $1m I'll put some stuff in there that will really stick it to the Pope.

There's a pretty big difference in terms of strategy between 1v1 duels, 5v5 fights, 15v15/20v20 GvGs, and larger 30v30 and up RvRs. Can't speak to viewing experience necessarily, but the scale of the fights are very different, and the approach that players have should be interesting to see.

Keyyba - Twitch Veteran || Mexican || Jiu Jitsu Champion

This Saturday at 3pm (est) I'll be joining twitch.tv/keyyba to help cast the first NA 5v5 WvW tournament of 2025. Come watch 13 teams duke it out in EotM, with the Community Warlord title, gems, and gold all up for grabs as prizes. See you there!

Hot honey is an overrated condiment.

Broke the shower diverter in our tub yesterday and had to install a new tub faucet. Plumbing is actually very cool. Highly recommend taking things apart in your bathroom.

"Let me eat this thing I forgot about six months ago" has to have killed 99 out of 100 people who tried it though.

I'm not anti-cheese. I love cheese. I just want to know what the guy who invented cheese was thinking, that's all. Like how did he know it would do that.

What if ancient Greece was actually super heteronormative, and all of the gay romance stuff that we've found was just people engraving horny fanfics about their favorite philosophers onto stone tablets or something.

Thinking about opening a store that sells bagels, but is only open at night. I'm tired of morning people buying all of the everything bagels while I sleep in. Night owls shouldn't have to settle for only having plain bagels available.

Most modern forms of electricity come down to "find some rocks, use them to make water really hot, and then spin a turbine with it". That's cool, but we can do better. Have any scientists thought about inventing a new rock, or a new liquid or something?

This country has real problems (the specific country is left up to your imagination).

I think people are spending a lot of time hand-wringing about whether the youth need to learn cursive or not, when they should be hand-wringing about whether the youth need to learn to read an analog clock face.
