Things That Amuse You

[jm2e]

my exam room at the hospital is right next door to the women’s locker room

the number of times I get asked if I know the combo amuses me

it just happened a few minutes ago

Could start a thread just for all the possible replies.

Internet trends that involve Waffle House.

Like those motherfuckers are going to deal with your TikTok shit at any hour of the day, much less 2am demanding they make you some shit you show them on fucking TikTok. Do you even know how Waffle House works? It's not by video instruction; I'll fucking assure you of that. If anything it might lead to more WorldStar videos of WH employees beating the ever loving shit out of you slack jawed dullards.

I miss Waffle House

Seems somewhat unremarkable.

Seriously? It's funny on two levels.

It’s for a friend

And they don’t want a broken treadmill

I’m hoping they get a model airplane for further research

Normally people are trying to get rid of treadmills. I've never heard of someone wanting a used one Unused treadmills are a running joke around my parts. Secondly, if you look at it like that, the "for a friend" part is hysterical. Nobody wants to admit to actually wanting a treadmill.

Ah it’s a NEK humor thing, makes sense

Except I don't actually live in the NEK. Franklin county. It's still the sticks though.

I mean, I guess.

Have jet, need treadmill.

[riser4]

Treadmills are great places to hang clothing and towels. I've never know someone to actually use a home treadmill beyond some initial honeymoon phase. Once people stop, they rarely go back, IME.

So true. Mine is where I keep my sweatshirts.

On that note, I have one for sale CHEAP in the Bend area. For you, special price!

So number one price, but is it number one quality Joe?

In the mid-1990s scientists found evidence that Earth’s inner core, a superheated ball of iron slightly smaller than the moon, was spinning at its own pace, just a bit faster than the rest of the planet. Now a study published in Nature Geoscience suggests that around 2009, the core slowed its rotation to whirl in sync with the surface for a time — and is now lagging behind it.

The provocative findings come after years of research and deep scientific disagreements about the core and how it influences some of the most fundamental aspects of our planet, including the length of a day and fluctuations in Earth’s magnetic field.

Three thousand miles below the surface, a scorching hot ball of solid iron floats inside a liquid outer core. Geologists believe that the energy released by the inner core causes the liquid in the outer core to move, generating electrical currents that in turn spawn a magnetic field surrounding the planet. This magnetic shielding protects organisms on the surface from the most damaging cosmic radiation.

Don’t panic. The core’s slowing down isn’t the beginning of the end times. The same thing appears to have happened in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the study authors at Peking University in China suggest it may represent a 70-year cycle of the core’s spin speeding up and slowing down.

Who knew?

[jmedslc]

So many skis to try, so little time. Fuck me.

[BmillsSkier]

Who knew?

It's like a giant gyroscope we're riding on.

[old goat]

What if the core stops spinning and all the compasses stop working. If I'm going to die from cosmic rays I'd like to at least know where the fuck I am.

Started reading this and didn’t notice anything was up until I got to WROD and tried to figure out how the white ribbon of death fit in here.



In my defense, I’m about to fall asleep.
