Trains. The long vehicle. Did you know that the train driver might be at the front of the train even if you're in one of the carriages? That's how long trains are. Wow! For more train facts visit wikipedia.

Some trains are more than 100 years old. These trains are called "grandad trains". TrainFacts 🐂

After extensive testing it was determined that trains are even faster than a horse, unless the horse is on the train, in which case the horse is the same speed as the train, unless the horse is running on the train in which case it is faster than the train unless the horse is running towards the rear of the train in which case it is slower than the train "TrainFacts

Train Facts. Train facts. Did you know?: if you get on a train, you will find yourself mysteriously transported to a new location, even if you have remained sitting still in your seat the whole time. Ooh! :itisamystery: Nobody knows why this is.

Train fact. Most trains say where they're going on the front. However you will sometimes see trains marked "driver's discretion". This means the driver gets to decide where it goes. Why not get on a drivers discretion train today? It can be a fun alternative to going somewhere you want.

Train fact. You can train a dog, but you can't dog a train. 🐒

From watching literally dozens of movies i have learnt that USAians are always concerned with getting to prom on time. Some suggestions for affirming things to say to USAians in your life:

  • you will certainly make it to prom on time
  • i expect you will not encounter any mishaps on your way to prom
  • while you yourself are unlikely to be voted prom king/queen, you strike me as the character who will experience the most personal growth at prom
  • oh you look great today. are you going to prom

(heist planning scene) so first up the front door has got a lock on it. no one gets past that if they've not got a front door key. if you can get past that, there's a pet rabbit in the porch. if it spots you it can make a warning sound of up to 10dB, depending on if it's awake. if you get past that, the kitchen floor is tiled in terra cotta, which can get extremely slippy if anyone's spilled anything on it recently. these tiles are state of the art.

UN report released on the UK government's violations of its human rights obligations towards disabled people. this follows the recent UN inquiry that the UK government was summoned to give evidence at. report finds the UK has made no progress at all after 2017 investigation that found "grave and systematic" violation of disabled people's human rights by UK.

obviously the UK press is ignoring this unprecedented human rights investigation, so it's falling to independent disabled journalists to cover it, as usual.

when i tell people i live under the sea, their first question is usually "don't the fish all bump into you all the time?" to which i say: you live on land. cows aren't bumping into you all the time are they. don't be silly. fish know where they're going. their second question is usually "how do you breathe?" to which i say: i don't think much of your tone, sonny jim.

I hope one day we'll look back on tv ads with the same horror as we do at, e.g., people putting radon in chocolate

Exposing everyone to quickfire presentations produced by like an entire team of professional manipulation specialists, specifically designed to break down your mental defences, in regular breaks in TV programming. Several of them!, back to back!, every five minutes! This is actually extremely bad for public health!

"can you believe they used to regularly interrupt media broadcasts to just randomly blast all the viewers with 10-20 megamemes of psychic assault energy! that's like twice the yearly recommended maximum tolerance!"
