common misconception! Thomas Crapper didn't invent the flush toilet. it was actually patented by Alexander Cumming. what Crapper invented was the floating ballcock.

perjuryfan replies:
dude i just looked up that cumming toilet crapper ballcock thing they were talking about, that's true. that's like 100 percent- everything they said was true. the ballcock is real and it was patented by crapper, it's the ball inside the toilet that floats with the water

A elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests.

First she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Walmart.

"Walmart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Walmart?"

"Then I'll be sure my daughters will visit me twice a week."

Jokes aside, personally I only have two requests for when I die. I want my remains scattered around Disneyland, and I don't want to be cremated.

((User gondwana 5d ago)) Do pigs still eat slop?

Farmers don't stop their hogs anymore

It's over

((User wolfwarrior142 5d ago)) If it makes you feel better. Our pigs' favorite meal is a bucket of rotting whole cow's milk that we specifically let get gross before giving to em cuz they love it that way. Its not their main food, cuz thats grain, but they still get a lot of disgusting milk. So thats kinda like slop I guess

((User gondwana 5d ago)) Ok (heart emoji) yay (heart emoji)
