i read a book on the evolution of the eye maybe 20 years ago and the only fact i've retained is that butterflies have light detecting cells on their genitals. well, i just found out that us humans have taste receptors on our balls and buttholes so, beat that butterflies!
- inside your brain is a cluster of cells making up a map of the body, it's folded, and the feet cells are very close to genital cells, hence foot fetishes.shapesalad
- in some people. depending on how well separated those clusters of cells are.shapesalad
- Sigmund Freud claimed that people sexualize feet because they resemble penises... makes you wonder what was goin on there... https://i.imgur.com/…kingsteven
- Or, y'know, babies spend much of their existence at knee level and below and form the substance of their first emotional connections whilst doing so.Nairn
- lets start a new charity Nairn, call it "stilts for waens" we can get Bill Gates and the Clintons to donate billions off that factoid.kingsteven
- I'd go with mini dirigibles over stilts, but otherwise I'm on board.Nairn

As anyone in history ever used any of the links down the left on Wikipedia pages. Why are they always there. Still needs an update that site.

why do you guys get triggered by every trivial thing on social media?
- Because they have been 'trained' to respond with moral outrage without being moralHayoth
- When we realized Prince Harry's new commoner name will now be, Harry David. And his new title is a guy with two first names.robotron3k
- Still too young... When you get older, you simply go to the fridge, open a fresh beer and let out a "Meh!"OBBTKN

- @robo wow you pay a lot of attention of tabloid magazine. what are you? 14?pango
- @hayoth lol not sure if you're really making a self aware joke. but if you are lol that's funny.pango
- @i_monk you know who "you" are.pango
- outrage on outrage is the new outrage, it's so meta baby.fadein11
- #cybermetaoutragerenderedred
- ^yeah, gonna say this comment is metawhatthefunk
- lol @ the idea of being self aware.garbage
- I think it's people realizing "Oh shit, social media is actually a highly effective propaganda tool" and then the subsequent pendulum swing.garbage
- because of Hayoth.sted
- It's meant to work like that. It keeps us divided and they love it.Maaku
- seriously. i think most of you are older than me yet you consume that hot garbage social media way more than me. stop getting click baited!!!pango
- The best thing about social media is that participation is optional.DRIFTMONKEY
- I note with a great deal of eye-rolling that the first two notes on this post were written by two of QBN's resident trolls.Continuity
- @continuity I think you misspelled "QBN's resident idiot fuckwits".garbage

Americans sure seem to like taking corn off the cob!
https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/cor…Why not just buy sweetcorn? Cheaper, quicker, easier.
Or do people just like doing it?- The cob is the best part of the corn.
;-)deadsperm - ^ LOL. Yea get that pesky yellow shit off that sweet sweet cob.Hayzilla
- https://www.youtube.…deadsperm
- Sweet corn isn't omnipresent over here as it is in the UKi_monk
- ^ You mean the US don't eat as much or they don't know you can buy it in tins?Hayzilla
- We have it in tins obviously, but you guys are crazy for it in comparison. There's a sweetcorn version of everything in the UK.i_monk
- boiling a fresh ear of corn is cheaper, quicker and easier than using canned, though, and the US has enough corn fields to FILL the UK probably ;)monospaced
- Fresh corn, in season, is so cheap it's almost free. And yes, we have tons of sweet corn. It's why midwesterners are SO FAT.monospaced
- Good grief - can't get a good dry-pan char on bloody tinned corn. It's not the seventies any more, c'mon!Nairn
- @mono I'd rather roast it (husk just falls off). But, yeah, it's like 5 for $1 at peak season.section_014
- corn is pretty much in everything in the states (except off the cob in tins). https://is.gd/uc4t9h…kingsteven
- i_monk I'm not sure you have been to the UK. Sweetcorn everything? Any Brits here know what he's on about? LOLHayzilla
- i think he's referring to tinned sweetcornkingsteven
- @mono I'll give you a race and I'm willing to bet a million quid I could open 30 tins of sweetcorn before you could get the pan boiled you dolt.Hayzilla
- @mono I'll have to take your word on price though. I never buy it because my wife hates it. Shame. I fucking love corn!Hayzilla
- mmm, cold sodden tinned corn kernels.
'Fresh' from the Green Giant's anus.Nairn - Oh I knew you'd chime in with some hipster bullshit Nairn. "One only eats pan charred corn." Cock.Hayzilla
- The cob is the best part of the corn.

After a five year absence, I played 5 on 5 pickup basketball this morning. My 44-year-old legs hurt in places that I didn't know I had. I kept up with the young pups but I sure am feeling it a few hours later.

Why in the name of fuck did Google put favicons in the search results? It's pure noise.
- Because they hate us.maquito
- search results have also changed....inteliboy
- i dont like thisDRIFTMONKEY
- yeah... it's annoying... first reaction was everything is an Ad of some sortPonyBoy
- only if you are signed outhotroddy
- looking forward to extensionzaq
- Need a FUCK GOOGLE threadNBQ00
- Ha! Did not see this as I switched to Duck Duck Go after getting tired of only sponsored results on the first Google results page.evilpeacock
- to mess with logo designersgrafician
- to hide the fact they also changed the "ad" indicator for paid results to further hide their advertising and make them more moneytrooperbill
- its supposedly to signify the credibility of website / sources. looks horrible.pedromendez
- it's a free market, we can use tons of other search providers out there that logs/stores all our private and corporate data.... #monopolapi

so last week it was WW3 and Iran vs US..
and this week, pffft, its like it never happened.no mention of Iran anywhere?
- no news is good news .. I know.. but still.autoflavour
- Only few people dislike President Trump, they live in California and like 3-4 other cities. The rest of the country loves President Trump.robotron3k
- News like to stoke fires, especially if they can build up Liberal hopes with negative Trump news.robotron3k
- I think it's reflective of the half-thought out strategy of US neocons. They want to topple Iranian gov but don't really have a plan to do it.yuekit
- Just because U.S. military is most powerful in the world doesn't mean they know what they are doing. See also, Iraq war, Syria, Venezuela, North Korea, etc.yuekit
- "Only few people dislike President Trump"
LOLpango - maybe cuz many of the passengers were canadian citizens, it's still on our news.pango
- All large and major cities voted against trump though. A few yes, but it was most people. MOST people do not like him, he lost the popular vote.monospaced
- heh, what about the rest of the world? it's not 'merica war iiikingsteven
- imagine fanboying over Donald Trump.inteliboy
- I got like 40 downvotes for saying it was all BS that wouldn't be talked about in a week.Hayzilla

Had McDonalds last night. Easily could have been 10 years since last touched it. That McDonalds flavour what ever the hell it is -seriously delicious.
- I had it today for the first time in years. No reason either. Tastes the same.monospaced

brass instruments are just lip fart amplifiers, who knew?!!!
- context: played a trombone for the first time yesterday and my mind is blown... it really is that fucking easy.kingsteven
- I’m curious what you thought was happening before.monospaced
- i played clarinet in an orchestra i've hired brass sections for recording sessions... always thought brass was magic, how they get so many notes from 3 valveskingsteven
- or a slide. they're just doing a squeaker in to the mouthpiece... never played any brass and was able to play a melody in 5 minutes.kingsteven
- just found it so intuitive, i'm seriously bidding on trumpets on eBay right now.kingsteven
- wait till you play the bagpipes... a whole new ball game. cock and ball game that is...shapesalad
- Yeah. I played all the horns and reeds basically. You can hop up and down the range with different lip tightness. Good stuff.monospaced
- i've had a go on uilleann pipes (the irish version with bellows and no mouthpiece) the brass thing is probably trauma from orchestra selection as a kid...kingsteven
- 7y/o wanting to play the trumpet, joining the orchestra, walk in to the room and a guy just looks at me and says "Clarinet" - and that was me for 8 years!kingsteven
- I also started in clarinet. Then moved on to the saxophones for jazz band in junior high. Took seriously through HS and picked up French horn for orchestra.monospaced
- nice, i'm looking at french horns and euphoniums atm... the brass sounds i love are in baritone range, i live across the road from a salvation army hall...kingsteven
- and can hear them rehearse, they play some surprisingly complex pieces and that sound just shakes me to the soul.kingsteven
- i'd love to compose some really brass heavy music... adore this: https://www.youtube.…kingsteven
- Wow.monospaced
- mono could use your expertise! around 1 minute in to that track. is that a french horn/ fist? a particular kind of mute? or just very controlled breathing?kingsteven
- it sounds like a euphonium to me, seems that range, maybe a trombone but it's not harsh at all (so maybe just due to the direction the horn is facing)kingsteven
- It could easily be a French horn, but I don't know enough about brass enough to know for sure.monospaced
- Mellophonefuturefood
- Mellophone?***futurefood
- https://johannjohann… bit more digging, no euphoniums in the ensemble... must be french horns and/ or trombonekingsteven
- rehearsing last night and our cellist who's played in orchestras most of his life (as well as the red wedding on GoT) has never played brass either, shocking.kingsteven

There's towns near me with malls, mini malls, big box stores, restaurants and fast food places.
It amazes me that all these places are able to find employees willing to work there at all hours for minimum wage.
- Do they have any other choice?ben_
- yes, these businesses could easily not exist.hotroddy
- and they could go on unemployment insurancehotroddy
- Nothing really amazing, that's how things work, some people are not lucky enough and have to do shitty jobsi_was
- some people are lucky to live in a country that has shitty jobs.hotroddy
- some countries don't have jobs and people have to rely on an 'informal economy' like in most third world countries.hotroddy
- keep projecting your first world bias on other countries i_monk.hotroddy
- Yea they are idiots. Why don't they just get $100k jobs man! Simple.Hayzilla
- Ironically, those townspeople are the ones who vote to actively deport people who want those jobs, and deny them entry too.monospaced

I guess I should probably start looking for a gig soon.

I bought my Aeron used 8 years ago for $150... it's about 12 years old now. Last night the gas cylinder gave out. It's been slowly sinking for the last 2 years (I could only raise up to about 3/5s the original height). I was forced to low ride for most of the evening (w/a pillow under my ass to prop me up just a touch).
Money is tight so there is nothing in the budget for a new chair. I hopped on Amazon and found a replacement cylinder for under $30 that would be here by noon today (it was late). Once purchasing I jumped over to youtube to find a tutorial on changing out aeron gas cylinders... holy shit a lot of folks out there have time on their hands cuz I found a plethora. I watched a few and must say I had my eyes open on what a bitch it would be to remove the old cylinder given how long it's been in place.
It was HELL but I got it done... had to borrow a mallet from the apartment maintenance crew... a little bit of tweaking to the mechanism that releases the cylinder but now it's like I have a brand new chair (it's never gone this high since I've owned it — so high I can swing my legs like a toddler!!!)... year 13 will be glorious.
- yep, always worth looking at spares.
i did the same for my supporto chairshans_glib - repairing stuff is really satisfying when it works, isn't it? :)mekk
- Solution is a simple wood chair with a cushion. Never any problems.shapesalad
- I've got a cheap very unconfortable tall chair bought in Ikea as seat, with a thin cushion, zero problems, when I'm tired I stand up and voilá!OBBTKN
- I’ve had my Aeron for 19 years. No problems. Amazing office chair.BH26
- yep, always worth looking at spares.
