Honestly, once it was clear to me as a kid making sense of the whole uterus thing that I could only make human babies, not kittens, I lost all interest in that pursuit. Got sterilized, will keep adopting cats until I am old and grouchy

I leave the TV on all day for the cats, I’m sure they’re getting lots of useful data while they sleep in front of MASH reruns

My favorite is recursive bad citations in the method section. As in, citing a paper that cited a previous paper that itself cited a previous paper that cited an abstract with no detailed methodology whatsoever, leaving the true methods a mystery unless you get the senior author to reply to emails.

I call BS, there’s not enough room for this sort of detail, you’d get ‘as described previously in [1-4, 9, 84, 86, 150-160, unpublished observations]’ half of which are unaccessible journals, out of print book chapters, and abstracts in German

I literally inherited a massive collection of these when my ex died because his family didn’t want to deal with them. I tried to save one of each plug type but I couldn’t store 50 lbs of adapters forever

It snows there from October to May, and there’s super bad black flies and mosquitos once it thaws. Only 3% of the Michigan population live there, and they’d prefer you not interfere with that.

Back in the day, I’d be thrilled to read something like this, but now all I hear is ‘look at how many new ways the Google overlord can fuck humans up with protein mutations to eliminate fragile meat-based enemies’

It looks like a protection racket with extra steps. An unpleasant solution presented by the problem creator. Why is this not banned?

I nearly missed a jury duty notice because of this habit. I only check if I know money or a specific bill is coming.

I could record my dad’s hour-long Fox News-inspired rants and convert them into one-sentence hate speech tweets for a side gig if they’re going to pay well for generating ragebait
