Dear Universe, please give us measly humans a break. Sincerely, an exhausted measly human.

So I get yelled at for forgetting to take out my kindle, while they're missing a whole person slipping past security. Smh

Huh interesting. Searched out of curiosity, and I found 1 article saying you should close it as it will lower the temp throughout the night to allow for a more peaceful sleep and also for fire safety. Then right below was a link to another article stating you should leave it open as it will lower the temp via circulation. Fun, don't think I've seen such mixed results.

Is it weird that I'm partially relieved seeing this post? I found all these weird apps on my phone the other day and thought I had been hacked or something. whew...?

We found out that one of our co workers created tables of formulas in excel, then input a table in Word to manually type in and transfer over the table data. And of course the same formulas needed to be run through a desk calculator once more in case excel got that wrong the first time. Jaw dropping (when that person was shown about this magical copy/ paste feature, it was their jaw that dropped lol)

Hm maybe I should've held off on giving away all my extra masks..

I always wondered if others thought the same thought I have, and you just answered it. Lots of restaurant valet services in my city, and I've seen some of them literally grab my keys from off the top of my tire. Meaning an entire parking lot packed with cars with their respective keys all in the same spot..

It's nice because I always wondered what it was like being one of the early redditors (we've all seen those "when everything was better back in my days" comments), and it's as if I got chance at a magic Internet Reset button. Feeling that excitement that first got me into reddit, as I'm browsing and learning about the fediverse. Love it.

The cat is the party.

I feel ya.

Beautiful. But genuinely curious- does a bonsai eventually become a tree? Because that's bigger than any actual trees I've attempted to grow.

I figure I'd quit when my parents start using it, just like how I quit Facebook lol

You've unlocked a core memory for me. Think I was about 4~5 yo, we were on a family trip to a resort. I was sitting on a noodle bent in a U-shape in the pool and had waded towards the middle, still next to the wall though because I didn't know how to swim. Although my mom always had me wear the life vest, this one time i didn't as I thought the noodle was all I needed and also didn't want to look like a baby in front of my older cousins.

Before I even realized, the noodle shot out from under my butt and I just silently sunk. None of that flailing and splashing that they do on TV happens. I also clearly recall just looking up at the super-close surface, gulping down mouthfuls of water in an attempt to breathe, thinking this was the end. And I think the worst part was feeling the wall with my hands but being unable to grab the ledge because it was too high (I was underwater, my arms were short, etc).

My uncle was sitting literally feets away from me, he said he was watching, it just looked like I was playing- bobbing my head in and out. Then he realized I wasn't coming up and jumped in to save me. My parents almost quite literally threw me into ymca swim classes as soon as we got back home.

If I ever have kids, swim lessons will be a must.

Man that's pretty disheartening. Guess I'll just go to bed now.

From this angle, I feel like the white car's right rear (or front too?) wheel would hit the curb if a previous car tried parking like the middle car. Or maybe there is more space to white car's left than it seems. But I'll still vote ass.

Oh, I was wondering why it was showing me as logged in but wouldn't let me upvote due to not being logged in. Your liftoff psa just cleared that right up for me, thanks!

One of the few moments I remember so clearly where it truly felt like time had stopped. Rest of the dept just froze, as I'm sure they were running through all of this person's work and designated accounts in their heads just as I was. They ended up leaving shortly after, and guess who had to clean up all that fun stuff. The manually-input nightmare 😭

True that. I still have the washable ones so I guess they'll have to do for now.
