The name "Sahara" is derived from the Arabic word for desert (çahra), which means the Sahara Desert is the 'Desert Desert'.
If you eat ice cream there, you're having a Desert Desert Dessert.
It's hard to find an ice cream stand, because the Desert Desert is a Dessert Desert.

Today I learned that Texas has an invasive species called the Rasberry Crazy Ant.
Instead of biting, it sprays poison. It can form supercolonies that stretch for miles. And normal pesticides don't kill it.
Merry Christmas!

Young man: Do you... know what a CyberTruck is?
Grandma: A Cyber-what?
The world is healing.

So far in today's cooking marathon, I have cut myself twice, and stabbed myself three times with a toothpick. As is tradition.

Just saw Wicked, and I'm sorry, but I'm really struggling to understand how this is an effective allegory for the demonetization of silver.

"The city is really another character in the story."
Oh, for sure. The time period, too. The cover art, the copyright page, they're all characters! We live in a character ouroborous that shall birth and feed on itself until the sun goes black, and in that moment, we will say, "This is a character."

We need to establish a Hugging Height Differential standard. If the HHG between two adults is too large, they must default to fist bumping. No more of this bending-at-the-waist nonsense.

I just can't understand the purpose of gnocchi.
You want little bite-sized potatoes? They already exist! You want to drench them in sauce like pasta? You don't need permission!
Y'all are turning the perfect food into a weak imitation of itself, and it makes God weep.

I own not one, but TWO t-shirts extolling my love for egg salad, and I'm not even 50 yet. Can't wait to see what the future brings.
Turn around and you’re in your fifties, elbows deep in thirty-five pounds of egg salad, wondering exactly where it all went wrong.

A real good news/bad news situation for the SanDisk marketing team this morning...
Tragic Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found undamaged at wreckage site — 12 stills and nine videos have been recovered, but none from the fateful OceanGate implosion
The specialist camera was rated to 6,000m, but the lens and some of its components were probably damaged by the implosion.
