Whenever I get into an elevator with my dog I wonder if he understands what's going on or if he thinks we're just entering the teleportation chamber

I wish we could go back to a time before every single TV remote was used to sell ad space to streaming companies

The sheer audacity of websites that provide a mute button but not a volume slider

Big and Little Spoons

This has, frankly, gnawed at me since it became idiomatic well over a decade ago

xkcd.com

this is literally never not accurate

I will support any New York mayoral candidate who admits bodegas are just convenience stores and everywhere in the world has them

Um

The only ever actual phishing emails I've received at work were the ones sent by my own IT department trying to trick me

Everyone going around preparing for the Last Generation without ever realizing we're it

I remember him doing a 60 Minutes interview ~20 years ago where he talked about giving away all of his money through his foundation, yet somehow his net worth has done the opposite of that

NYTimes sending their best intern

I can’t explain why, but I am 100% convinced that Panda Express is the funniest restaurant to give someone a gift card for

I'm kind of relieved that I have until November 4 to finish Silksong or my Game Pass expiring will effectively finish it for me

Yes I’m playing Silksong

Games where if you die you then have to loot your previous corpse to get your stuff back and it disappears forever if you die while en route to your corpse can go die in a fire

Day of the Tentacle let you play the original Maniac Mansion on Weird Ed's computer, over a decade earlier. Felt especially wild back in 1993 (still the early days of CD-ROM games), that kind of move was unprecedented

No, this may be terrible but it’s actually very savvy of them. Short-form video from sites like TikTok is dominating other forms right now in the battle for limited hours of media consumption. Disney wants their foot in the door. The mouse always evolves

Should I punish myself by getting Silksong or reward myself by just playing SOTN again for the 20th time 🤔

Couldn’t that mean they’re working?

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

My phone number brings all the scammers to the yard

Expensing business travel in the 21st century is such an antiquated process. You paid with a corp card, we have all the data already, most of it came in via integrated corporate accounts we have with the hotel, airline, Uber, etc. but we still need you to manually upload copies of everything

FSAs should never be forfeited. They should always either roll over or be paid back out to you with taxes withheld. That "use it or lose it" is the law is flagrantly and embarrassingly anti-employee.

So much life advice comes down to people advocating for taking big risks, and I wonder how much survivor bias plays into that

In uni I was in a course where we had to review each other’s essays, and I remember being SO MAD when my randomly assigned partner clearly plagiarized his. I refused to grade it, wrote on it my job was to review his work and not Google’s. So no, I don’t think I’d do well in the era of ChatGPT.

Realistically if I was a character in Better Call Saul I would be dead by the second season

Yoshi out in the first round… against Dry Bones??? Something doesn’t add up here

As much as I loved Better Call Saul, it beggars belief that Gus Fring was able to build a secret tunnel connecting two houses across a suburban, non-dead end street, for any amount of drug money

It’s weird that strawberries taste red to me and blueberries taste blue
