Cyclonic condoms curb climate crises?

Motorized microbes to mobilize methane?

All-you-can-eat oil slick buffets?

Sonic solutions for sound slurry?

Me: "Adult."
Them: "What?"
Me: "I identify as a human experienced at adulting."
On to round four...
SMH.

Do NOT get me started...Pigs are very intelligent.

Eew! Important evidence, yes. So glad it's not my job to glean criminal acts in those videos. Just the thought makes my skin crawl.
