We need more Tesla jokes — specifically about how dangerous they are.

Here’s the thing: all cars can catch fire, and all EV fires are especially hard to put out. But Teslas are •uniquely• dangerous:

@intransitivelie so this is an example of what I'd consider a cute prank?

They probably sent an email out to their user list that said "issues with 600 MHz instrument" this sort of thing happens all of the time and that school has multiple instruments so at most it elicits a response of "oh, I should read the email before I book instrument time today". And the link goes to something that is immediatly apparent as joke for anyone familiar with the instruments. And they did a bunch of cheesy photo shop to really run the joke into the ground and write a whole narrative about it while using terms that get tossed around about major NMR disasters.

And if the poor person is not white middle class... well, that's too bad...

@anon_opin this is an April Fools' Joke, right? Right?!

@nasamuffin lol, gaming is educational!

@nev I'd offer you a hug, but I don't want you to get sick all over me.

What in the performative nonsense fucking bullshit is this

They are disappearing people off the streets with gangs of masked gestapo and throwing them in concentration camps. And Chuck Schumer's strategy is to talk smug about spending cuts for 20 hours?? And it DOESN'T EVEN BLOCK A BILL?? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

I'm going to need elected Democrats to start giving at least one flying ratfuck about protecting our rapidly disappearing democracy. Our nation is LITERALLY circling the drain and you fucking fucks are worried about performing slightly better in the midterms.

What are they hearing in the walls and ceilings, sci-fi/fantasy writing prompt answers only?

The doctor already called me back with blood-work results, and we need to increase her dose of thyroid meds. Her kidney levels are still elevated, but not more than they were last year!

She got her first Solensia shot (for osteoarthritis) and we have to go in next month for a follow-up & then they'll teach me how to give her the shot.

She's happy to be home, and has already triggered her automatic feeder for some extra lunch!

@Jason844 somebody definitely puked tuna/bonito churu all over her cage on the way home.

So in March 2023(?), Tumblr user fleshdyke (https://web.archive.org/web/20230913091647/https://www.tumblr.com/fleshdyke/711416276490321921/thats-because-i-lied-about-this) claimed that public bathrooms are free in Canada because "two gay men got arrested for fucking in a public bathroom but they argued since you had to pay for it it was a hotel and it was fine". User hieronymus-botch called them on this, and fleshdyke admitted they made it up. In March 2025, Mastodon user @TicklishHoneyBee repeated the false claim with no source.

There's currently a design contest going for an "innovative" new public toilet, hopefully to be installed in my very own neighbourhood of South Parkdale: https://www.frequencynews.ca/news/toronto-advocacy-group-will-pay-you-1500-to-design-a-new-public-washroom/

@wohali it's like ... like ... imagine if a Florida company made a frozen poutine dinner AND THEN a large Canadian corporation started marketing it in the town it was invented ...

I HAVE NOTICED SOME TELLTALE SHIMMERS LATELY.

@LRRRonEarth fair. Besides, you'd probably just use it to, uh, order in for dinner.

What a shame. I hear Billionaire is in season.
