I'm writing a new episode of the Q-Dropped Podcast. I use a transcript of my interview to edit and write. The transcribing software interpreted "gun stash" as "gunstache" and I don't even know what that means.

@godlessmom thinking there has to be a 1979 Camaro involved somehow.

The kids insisted we buy a Santa Claus melon. They hate it. I gave it to the neighbours.

I donโ€™t know who needs to hear this, but metric abbreviations/units donโ€™t get pluralized.

1000 kilometres? 1000 km.

20 kilograms? 20 kg.

No such thing as โ€œkmsโ€ or โ€œkgsโ€. Or, $deity forbid, โ€œkmโ€™sโ€/โ€œkgโ€™sโ€.

(Same in imperial units, btw: โ€œmilesโ€ = โ€œmiโ€, not โ€œmisโ€.)

Honestly, noticing this shit is the scourge of the internet. Being a pedant isnโ€™t as glamourous as it seems. ;)

My house could be 99% tile and my cat would still barf directly onto the rug.

@Skepticat @the_etrain if your house was 100% tile, your cat would barf on your couch/bed/slippers/pillow/face. the cruelty is the point. ;)

@Skepticat @the_etrain my house is 100% hardwood floor, tile, or vinyl. my cat never failed to wretch on a couch or a small area rug. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Still not convinced cats are real.

Look at this nonsense:
