My sister once told me she could never sleep with her feet sticking out from the end of the bed, because she imagined a guillotine would come down and chop them off. I found this kind of funny, but i cant have my feet poking out either in case a creepy old witch grabs them. Is this a common thing?

because I have a habit of leaving my tax return to the last minute, it helps to have one less point of technological failure

My bank sometimes has a go at me for killing the planet because I insist on getting printed statements. Then they send me a printed statement along with 5 other useless sheets of paper, 3 of which are like "allow me to introduce you to the next sheet of paper"

Even with leap-year correction, the calendar year and solar year diverge by a whole day every 3300 years, which would actually make this date the 12th of February

Oct 12th 802701 - George Wells' time machine finally stops travelling forward. After saving Weena, and meeting the Eloi, he discovers the underground race known as Morlocks.

📽️📅 The Time Machine (1960)

3 Screenshots from the movie "The Time Machine" (1960): First, a close-up of the time machine's control panel with colorful dials and ornate detailing, indicating a time of October 12. Second, a scene with a man and a woman sitting on steps, engaged in a serious conversation with the subtitle "Twenty of your friends were watching you drown." Third, a group of Morlocks, creatures with pale skin and white hair, standing in a cave-like environment, exuding a menacing presence.

Saw what appeared to be a painting of a magpie on the ground, but on closer inspection it might just be some random dirt. Its eye is a ladybird that decided to sit there.

who the hell is telling men in their 20s to grow moustaches? They will never not look like someone who drank their hot chocolate too quickly

The first rule of boring Cyriak club: never tell them your name is Cyriak, thats a whole conversation right there. 2nd rule: don't tell them what you do, if its in any way interesting. Make up the dullest job you can think of. 3rd rule: talk as long as you can about the weather + medical complaints

i make an effort for podcasts, but talking to my next door neighbours is something i prefer to discourage if possible.

It hasn't been easy, but I think I've finally perfected the art of being so boring to talk to, even old people can't wait to get away from me.

Seeing how ubiquitous sponsored ads are in youtube videos now makes me wonder if all the mysterious prehistoric art we cant figure out was just adverts for shit. Like, what if stonehenge was just an advert for massive rocks...
