Pretty sure we are the only animals with pink rings around our mouth. It's flipping weird.

It probably helps with verbal language understanding as humans often use mouth movements to interpret words (see McGurk effect). But I still think it's weird.

Big pink rings.

Abraham and his wife Sarah are promised a son. It's taking a long time so she has Abraham impregnate her handmaid, Hagar. Hagar has a son called Ishmael. But eventually Sarah has her own son, Isaac, and casts Hagar and Ishmael out into the wilderness.

Isaac, the favoured younger son, marries Rebekkah, and has two sons. He favours the older son, Essau. Rebekah favours the younger son, Jacob. She tricks Isaac into making Jacob his heir instead of his favourite son.

Jacob falls in love with a woman but is tricked into marrying her older sister first. He ends up marrying both of them and having 12 sons with 4 women (his wives and their handmaids) and he favours the youngest two because they're the sons of the wife he loves. The older sons sell the second youngest into slavery because they're mad dad favours him.

I guess the moral is parents shouldn't play favourites

Have you ever been using your phone with the volume up, and wanted to turn it down halfway? If you want to turn it down slightly, tap the volume button. If you want to turn it down a little more, tap it a few times.

I have never in my life wanted to turn down the volume part way by holding down the volume button. I've never met anyone in my life who turned down the volume this way. Up, maybe. Maybe you want to hear something when your phone volume is off, so you turn it up by holding the volume up button until you can hear it.

When your phone starts playing something in a crowded place and you want to mute it, those two seconds of gradually turning down the volume feel like an eternity.

And maybe he wouldn't lash out at Murray Franklin and just started organizing instead.

you know the one.

same goes for prayers too...

Imagine dying 1 second before the ceasefire begins... 💀

...my butthole keeps burning but I never learn. It's so damn delicious.

Can spicy food actually cause physical damage? Burns? Infections?

I remember how painful it was when I did my pepper spray examination. The teacher dropped a few droplets onto one of my closed eyes and then they told me to blink. It felt like somebody was trying to dig out my eyeball with a fistful of lit cigarettes. With a scoville level of 5 300 000, that's not surprising...

There is a genetic condition where cilantro tastes like soap to about a quarter of the population. Washing kids mouths with soap is/was a common punishment for saying dirty words. Collective punishment is a war crime according to the Geneva convention.

Is putting cilantro in a communal dish that will force people to essentially be punished by having soap in their mouth technically a war crime?

Just in case for some reason you haven't heard the phrase 'Don't shoot the messenger'

It's a wonder I even have a job. The ADHD makes me forget where I place things and the blindness makes it so I can't see where they are.

If you actually value your anonymity, you will not be able to use most popular communication platforms in the coming months. It's a perfect storm for the outright invasion of privacy in the USA right now.

Learning to code allows you to build and use your own (as well as other less known) tools.

Does this make sense?

Learn. To. ~~Coed.~~ Code.

I mean its bascially the same principle.

Immigrants get "adopted" by a country

Just as Orphans get adopted by prospective parents

Then you get the International Adoptions which is bascially both combined... those probably have the most identity crisis...
