Yeah, but what's the joke in the meme?

I don't get it...

Well, if you've ever wondered why you don't see worms playing the drums, this is the reason...

A colleague is leaving the job at the end of the month and our vacation booking system said she had 16 vacation days left, so she booked those at the end of the month, her supervisor approved, she handed over all her tasks, returned the hardware and everything, and thought she was done working here.

On her first day off, the supervisor calls her to let her know that she can't actually take that many vacation days. Because she quit in the first quarter of the year, she only gets a quarter of the vacation days for the year, which the vacation booking system did not account for and well, the supervisor had not noticed while approving either.

Like, it's kind of just how the contract and laws and everything works. I don't know, if the supervisor offered to convert it to unpaid leave, but that's kind of the only real thing, they could've done here. But yeah, still just such a dumb situation after all...

Interesting that number plates were already a thing back then.

Apparently quite a bit earlier even:

France was the first country to introduce the registration plate with the enactment of the Paris Police Ordinance on 14 August 1893, followed by Germany in 1896.

There's a small mountain just 200 meters from my home. Tried to go up there once, but realized halfway that you need proper shoes for that. It's in the middle of town, but still unsecured wilderness, so you feel like you're climbing a proper mountain pretty quickly. Basically, the kind of experience that others will drive out into the countryside for.

And the thing is, I do have proper shoes at home. I've been meaning to head back up there and to the top, to get the proper outlook (which has got to be pretty fucking cool, since you can see the whole town even from halfway up).
But yeah, because I could head up there at any point in time, it's always been a matter of "Oh, it's too wet this weekend" or too icy or too hot or any other excuse.
Like, yeah, maybe don't climb a mountain when it's icy, but none of the other reasons would've stopped me, if I was here on vacation...

Yeah, I consider it silly/destructive to exclude apes from monkeys:

Apes emerged within monkeys as sister of the Cercopithecidae in the Catarrhini, so cladistically they are monkeys as well. However, there has been resistance to directly designate apes (and thus humans) as monkeys

A.k.a. "humans are not animals" with extra steps, which has always been used for dodging moral questions.

And it's just a shot from top-down at an angle, so you can't see the rest of his body or neck.

It looks like a chimpanzee to me, so this would be the diet:

The chimpanzee is an omnivorous frugivore. It prefers fruit above all other food, but it also eats leaves, leaf buds, seeds, blossoms, stems, pith, bark, and resin.

Somehow this really drives home how unhealthy that shit looks. Not that I've ever seen a human drink it, but it still feels like humans consume so much garbage food anyways (especially those that would drink this stuff voluntarily), that it doesn't make much of a difference in the end.

Meanwhile, this monkey eats healthy foods his whole life, so a gulp of colored sugar water with extra chemicals just feels much worse in comparison.

Certainly doesn't look very strait either...

Has he considered sending a message to the guy directly rather than posting about it on social media?

Ah yeah, that seems to be it. When I drop my keys in the right place, it goes into suspend. If I lift them back off afterwards, it wakes back up.

Neat. 🙃
