It’s like porn - I know it when I see it

I’m reading these now - I’m up to Fall of the Mutants. It’s been so much fun!

This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

And that issue is incredible

YouTube video by bunnyoku Dude, you have no Quran - Short version

Still one of the best moments in news

“Have you seen this chicken?” and “Good grief! It’s you!” are two of the most perfect jokes I’ve ever had the pleasure of witnessing

Feels like a crime tbh
