If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

When God closes a door He opens a window. This drives me NUTS. Terrible roommate. The electric bill is outrageous. There's a bird's nest in the bathroom

I know I can't have kids because I'll hear anecdotes from parents being like "My five year old started screaming because I gave him mac and cheese when he wanted cheese and mac, haha" and instead of laughing I truly believe I would punt the toddler across the room

I have proposed before that smol boys of age 7-12 should be consulted on the correct insults to use. They know exactly how to hit where it hurts. Once their term is over, we hand over to the teenage girls age 12-15 for pure violence.

With no posted detour, foot traffic quickly backed up for several miles.

Slowly, the night crept in.

Nationalism is by default unimaginative and paradoxically every example of it is broadly similar to other examples everywhere else in the world.

It's always about flags and chants and xenophobic exceptionalism. The mantra of people who don't have the imagination to actually love where they live.

After some consideration, the most spectacularly inept villains in fictional history are the Decepticons.

They transform into into guns and fighter jets. They fight people who transform into the space-equivalent of VW Beetles.

They have been unsuccessfully waging this war for FIVE MILLION YEARS.

A person holds a magnifying glass in front of a cat’s face, distorting the cat’s expression to look exaggeratedly angry and fierce, with enlarged fangs and a snarling mouth.
