I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE HEART TO TELL THE MAN OF IRON THAT WITH ALL HIS MIDGARDIAN RICHES THE CURRENCY EXCHANGE TO ASGARDIAN COIN WOULD NARROWLY AMOUNT TO THE WORTH OF MAYBE TWO SACKS OF POTATOES

…So if Tony starts exporting potatoes to Asgard he’ll be vastly richer than he already is? =)

It never fails to amaze me how bioethicists manage to be wrong about everything, like, I would expect that there would be a point where I would agree with bioethicists out of sheer reversed-stupidity-is-not-intelligence AND YET every time I see a viewpoint attributed to a bioethicist it is inevitably fucking stupid

bioethicists: wrong on death, wrong on suicide, wrong on augmentation, wrong on cures, wrong on ice cream cones, wrong for America

Yeah … the ice cream cone thing surprised me when I heard about it.

Wait, what. I thought Ozy was just throwing out a random joke to further take the piss out of bioethicists. I just googled and… wow. I’m irl laughing really hard. This is The Onion-grade material right here, except it actually happened.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I Googled it and got halfway through an incredulous response with a lot of ellipses in sheer astonishment that a human being said that while being serious and is still taken seriously when using that argument about non-ice cream subject matter.

Unrelatedly, I walked down the street eating ice cream today. It was great.

Transhumanists: Because they think ice cream is morally OK.

You know, the Meta was a human being? He had to get food? Where do you think he got it? You think he ransacked Freelancer’s salad bar before he went on his rampage or what? what about after that? Did he buy it? Where’d he get the money? Did he do some mercenary work before he started hunting down freelancers?

Where did he sleep? 

You work at a grocery store on some random outer-colony planet. There is a seven foot tall bald person who has been scarred to shit standing in front of you. His eyes are red and ringed with darkness. He has possibly never slept in his life. There are several carts behind him. He is purchasing an entire aisle of beef jerky. You say ‘have a good day’. He responds with a grunt that sounds like gravel being put through a woodchipper. You don’t know what he is going to do with all that beef jerky. You don’t want to know.

HOLY TRINITY 

 

fannishminded:

MULTIPLE people I am following are asking what these are, why we call them holy when only one has a hole. If they are made by the same company, and what is with us praising these.

I weep for you people, from other countries. WEEP.

Aussies may have Tim Tams.

EU may have Kinder and All sorts of fantastic biscuits.

USA? Has GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

Not only are these things SINFULLY good, they are only sold for a bit over 1 month of the year, depending on region, that month of the year changes.

That middle one is Chocolate, Caramel Coconut. The left one is Peanut Butter, chocolate and sex on a stick aka crumbly cookie/biscuit.

You can eat em straight from the box, but pros? Pros eat these bad boys frozen.

And thin mints, man. that right one? THIN MINTS. You may have heard of these. Chocolate biscuit infused with mint essence coated in dark chocolate.

Yeah.

Those thin mints.

The Thin Mints for which every grown ass American on a Medical Diet cries for when they see a girlscout.

The Thin Mints with 1000 copycats, and not a one of them successful.

Girl Scouts, regularly boycotted by Fundies and Anti-choice nutters, not only taste amazing, but you get the joy of giving money to a good cause, while subtly flipping the bird at overly wound up fundie groups.

It’s like donating to Planned Parenthood and getting a box of double dark chocolate with fudge filling tim-tams especially made for them.

 

doctorcakeray:

The reason we eat them frozen is that we buy as many boxes of thin mints as we possibly can during that short sale period, and then store them for the dark months, like proud American squirrels.

 

landscapesclothesandfootball:

PROUD AMERICAN SQUIRRELS.

AMERICAN SQUIRRELS REPRESENT

 

kyliesparks27:

This is the greatest explanation of Girl Scout cookies I’ve ever seen

 

elenabernalt:

Hey… gives us some, haven’t you been told to share?

 

justice-turtle:

NOBODY SHARES THIN MINTS, BUY YOUR OWN ;-)

fuck I missed it again, I hate being broke, SOMEDAY I will have money during February and buy Girl Scout cookies

Are there any late booth sales in your area? I know I looked it up recently and saw that the Girl Scouts of Western New York (my nearest council) had booth sales going well into March.

Unfortunately, my parents have since decided we’re not going to NY again until April. :(

(For the record, Canada has Tim Tams and Kinder. The Girl Guides here sell mint cookies in the autumn, but they have a layer of Oreo-like cream on top, just below the chocolate coating. Since I’ve never been too fond of Oreo cream, I find it renders them inferior to proper Thin Mints.)

If you’ve never driven across Montana, it does this thing where – the sky in Montana is gigantic, they call it ‘Big Sky Country’ and that’s not just advertising – and there’s mountains in the distance and you think that you’re going to get to them but then you don’t, and you realize you are going to spend the night in Montana and then you drive and drive and the mountains never get any closer and never get any closer and then, holy shit i’m in the mountains! And it’s kind of like turning 30 in that regard.

ursulavernon, as quoted in Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap, Episode 89 “I Will Show You Fear in a Handful of Ramen” (the story then devolves into what happens when you’re traveling to college and find yourself at the small town’s singular restaurant on a Sunday morning after church)

 

tkingfisher:

Yes. I do a weekly podcast where my husband and I eat prepackaged food and get inebriated. For some reason, otherwise sensible people listen. (Also a very short one called the Hidden Almanac, but that’s weird alternate history and only five minutes long.)
