There’s probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole....

My dream is to own my own business (just kidding–own several businesses), but I’m currently experiencing financial hardship. After frantically looking for work for over a year with a network that let me down, I finally managed to find part-time work at a local nonprofit....

I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I’m accidentally disparaging when I don’t mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I’ll start:...

So far I’ve checked several “getting started”'s and FAQ’s and Google and everyone just tells me that it’s possible but nobody tells me fucking WHERE. So obviously I’m in need of help. Preferably with a diagram or colourful pictures....

This is a serious question, mostly addressed to the adult women among us but also to anyone else who has a stake in the matter....

Breakfast cereal served the standard way, in a bowl with cold milk poured on and eaten with a spoon. Does this count as a soup, why or why not? Defend your answer with logic (or emotion, whatever I’m not your dad)

I had this discussion with a friend, and we really couldn’t reach a consensus....

Damn, getting some hate for this post. Thanks, I guess. Lemme rephrase this post title, since this is the part I was curious about in the beginning anyway til everyone fixated on the “tion” and ignored the original ask altogether.

What do you think about bringing back actual, live Gladiatorial games, involving participants fighting each other to the death in front of a live-TV audience, a panel of judges like on America's Got Talent/X Factor, fights with different historical themes like "The Battle of Verdun" or "Antietam", fights with animals like...

Just looking at the supposed moon-landing footage (including that really ridiculous bit with the sparkly module "lifting" back up off the moon), how can anyone with a brain actually think this is real?

We only know about when humans mastered fire or started using metal. But we know the exact date when the first powered flight took place. What are some really early “first ____” we know the date of for sure?

I’m reading more and more webtoon, which means that I get my comics by chapter not by volume. Is there a instance where asian comics are presented this way? I’m not against adding the chapter myself but I look for a community that’s also using the chapter format....

Basically the title I installed a game, played some, got bored and wanna delete it but then remembered that I used to have a tab long time ago and we’d mess with it by installing a ton of games , So at a point it got too hangy that we deleted every game but it still wouldn’t work as good so we had to factory reset the thing...

Is there a list somewhere? Are the rules different per instance?? I see:...

First let me be clear: I’m not a crazy conspiracy person (…on this) I just don’t rely on a municipal well. As far as I know adding fluoride to the private well at my houses is not a thing, good or bad. I did drink municipal water for two years when I lived on campus in college....

Pretty much the title. Here is my best find so far. Really funny thread....

Posted with my thinkpad running Arch btw.

Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?

What did other people do in the past to make our world beautiful but which we do not notice now?...
