Bio-Dome is pretty fun. And you get to see an early appearance of Tenacious D.

[-] nyahlathotep 38 points 1 month ago

I love the D

you can quote me on that

Also jamming out to Voodoo Glow Skulls in a fuckin busted ass geo or whatever is a real mood. They certainly made trouble in that bubble.

The only thing I know about Biodome is from Weird Al.

Dude wipes are the most toxic masculine bullshit product I’ve ever seen. Honestly who the fuck buys that shit except the most fragile male ego in the universe

[-] best_username_ever 31 points 1 month ago

I liked the answer that I once saw here: "Real men do whatever the fuck they want." No one cares about this kind of judgmental assholery.

Agreed. Stop flushing wipes, none of them are "flushable". If it doesn't dissolve from light manipulation when wet, it's not flushable.

Bidet. Just get one. They're like $30 and take 10min to install. Clean buttholes forever.

Liquid Death? It's just fucking water. There's already water in your house you don't need a fucking can with a threatening name for it.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I heard the branding was to help recovering alcoholics, so they don't feel like they're "missing out," and won't stand out so much with a scary can instead of a water bottle/glass. So they can still crack a cold one with the boys and such.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I'd believe this with how much I see Steve-O drinking it on his YouTube channel. The dude made a point to drive a whole ass vending machine of Liquid Death across the country to his new home lol. At his previous home in California, it was apparently up against the coping of the half pipe in his backyard so you could do trick off of it.

eh I find their tall boys of sparking water have made it so I hardly drink alcohol at all now.

It's worth $1.57 to fool my brain, and certainly cheaper than the same amount of beer.

[-] Plavatos 19 points 1 month ago

I had heard that's the point, to a degree, or at least to help people with a drinking problem not feel ostracized while out with friends.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.

(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)

I've heard of kids who have been too corrupted by drink marketing to drink water drinking liquid death. If it gets demographics who wouldn't otherwise drink water to drink water I can't get upset about it

Oi I'm not wiping my manly butthole with those pink girly wipes. That'd be GAY or probably something equally incoherent.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I'd never heard of Dude Wipes, and I don't get the point of them at all. I'd probably buy Gendered Butthole Wipes, though, I love the name!

A few years ago my friend's father passed away. My friend's mother continued to live in the house for another year or so. She never worked and had to eventually sell the house and downsize.

My friend had referred to her mother as a hoarder before. I've seen the reality TV shows about hoarders. But you don't really understand just how bad the problem is until you spend several days helping your friend clean out their childhood home for sale, filling up several dumpster bags worth of... Stuff. Apparently the mother has always had some mental health problems and a shopping addiction, but spending over a year alone in that house drove her off the deep end.

We could have opened an entire new Harbor Freight store. There were clothes in sizes I didn't know existed. My wife casually found a pistol just shoved in a random box. It was madness.

Pro-tip: if you choose to wipe your ass with babywipes/gendered moist towellets.... Don't flush them.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

Just to reiterate, even the ones that claim to be "flushable" DO NOT FLUSH THEM. It's a damn lie and I don't know how they keep getting away with it.

What? But they're flushable*, it says so right on the package.

* if your municipality allows it. No municipality does.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

We really gotta regulate the use of that word.

Regulate? Sounds socialist and anti capitalist. Better just let them keep doing what they want for the sake of The Economy (r)

It says flushable, which is true. It doesn't say what happens to it after it's flushed, and it doesn't say it's a good idea.

I laugh a little every time see a Dude Wipes billboard. What sucker is out there buying baby wipes for men?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

It used to feel gay when my finger would punch through the butt wipe and enter my anus. Thankfully I don't have to feel that way when I'm using Dude Wipes.

It's not gay if it's through the hole in the Dude Wipe

My former roommate had gastrointestinal issues and used wet wipes because they were less irritating to his skin. But he just bought regular wet wipes not this gendered nonsense.

I don't get the hate for Arby's. The brisket sandwich and their sauce are good as fuck. Maybe it would have made a difference back when they first started and were like 5x more expensive than the competition (their signature sandwich was $0.69 when the next most expensive fast food was $0.10) 🤔

Reading this on my Apple Watch, while riding my Hoverboard, watching Bio-Dome in the background, and eating a wet-ass Arby's sandwich I smashed into a quesadilla in my Quesadilla Maker... I can't wait until it rockets through my intestines so I can use my Dude Wipes! 😎

Jumping on the "don't use flushable wipes" bandwagon. Seriously, they can screw your home's plumbing up.

For anyone doubting this is even possible for a product that is mass-marketed and available everywhere, look back a little over a decade. For a hot minute we had scrubs and soaps that had tiny little plastic beads in suspension to provide some grit. All those microbeads got flushed down the drain and wound up who knows where. That is until it was made illegal.

The hoverboards are for kids as far as I can tell. Childhood just isn't the same without some way to bust your face open. Parks got nerfed by a well-meaning child safety crusade that fixed nothing and ruined playgrounds; because the problem wasn't that the playgrounds are dangerous - the problem was that kids are stupid and clumsy so sometimes shit happens and a kid will die tragically. It's literally unavailable, that's what makes it an accident.

Some of these kinds of things - especially "as seen in tv" stuff advertised by fumblebums - are actually intended for people who are partially or wholly physically disabled. But if they market it for disabled people then they'll sell less of them and the price will go up, and because we live in ~~America~~ hell, the disabled didn't make nearly enough to survive as is. So they market it to everybody with an over-the-top ad instead. Remember the Snuggy? Literally designed for people in wheelchairs and with mobility issues.

The rest is just brand awareness bullshit and market expansion. Seriously, man-wipes exist because they'd hit market saturation and are trying to squeeze out a profit increase by targeting a different demographic. Because in capitalism, the line MUST go up. Brand awareness is just a way of saying "Hey! Pay attention to me, I'm Diet Coke! Don't forget! Are you thirsty now? Pick me!" And the quest part? Both stupid trucks work because people are dumb.

Hey. I like my smart watch. I enjoy tracking my biometrics and being able to leave my phone, but still be able to listen to music, calls, texting, etc.

That said, I was also the kid who rocked a calculator watch in the 90’s, and I always wanted Dick Tracy’s watch.

Awe... I like Arby's. Their curly fries are easily on my top 10 best fastfood fries.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I've had Arby's 5 times. In a wide variety of locations across the States while visiting friends or family. It's delicious, which is why it took me 5 times getting food poisoning to stop eating at Arby's.

I don't care about hoverboards, but a great side effect of their mass production is that you can get a pretty decent brushless motor now for very cheap. I also saw a video about a hack you can do to make it run better at higher RPMs. You can get one of those hoverboard motors for like $30 on ebay and pair it with a $25 ODrive clone from aliexpress. Its good for probably 10 nm of torque at 36v 10a.

I would probably hate wet sandwiches too. Glad my Arby's near me doesn't have wet sandwiches. It sucks that even with all the work franchises do to try and make sure each location is as similar as possible, some people just get unlucky that the one they live close to sucks.
