the woke media won't tell you this but actually hanging out with your friends is fun and if you do it you will probably stop wanting to cry nonstop

i'd make a joke about "let the HUSBAND giggle under the covers and tell HIS WIFE to put that camera away before dying before HIS WIFE'S story starts" but lets be real he'd still get more fanart

sir do you understand that you are being criticized right now

The best thing about tumblr is you can just make a criticism of a very specific person completely unprompted and then that person will appear as if summoned in your notes to prove your point for you.

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

“How to Respond to Criticism” by Danny M. Lavery for The Toast

seems like plenty of people are lacking the Vitamin

hey so fun fact your problems only START when you find out about the vitamin

happy new year! reminder that as of January 1st, 2025, the 1929 animated Disney short "The Skeleton Dance" is now public domain!

I'd like to say "this will find its audience" but the truth is I just didn't know how to tag this

so either it'll find its audience or it'll get like 0 notes

Injecting frozen rat blood into people’s veins made them hallucinate.

This reads less like a dream and more like the journal of a mad scientist

rice is the perfect food and westerners should eat more of it i'm so serious

you can season it, you can drizzle it with sauce, you can cook it in broth or coconut milk, you can add spices sugar butter sesame oil rice vinegar, you can mix it w/ garlic & scallions & veggies, you can fry it and scramble an egg in it, it goes with meat & seafood & protein, it reheats great with a bit of water, it's cheap, insane shelf-life, ideal for bulk buy discounts, many types & shapes & textures, there are thousands of recipes ranging from china to india to japan to the middle east to latin america to europe. AND a rice cocker cooks it for you. the many splendors that await you...

you think i made an error most grievous, BUT i noticed that typo before hitting post; in my infinite wisdom i chose to let nature take its course

Baked beans are an American dish adapted from a similar dish first made by native Americans and baked beans were first canned in the US and then brought to Britain where the British decided to start putting them on toast and calling them a British food. And I’ve started to realize that some British people think that we think beans on toast is strange because we don’t have baked beans. When in fact we’ve had baked beans this whole time. We brought the baked beans over there. We just think it’s mildly confusing that Brits put them on toast.

I think it’s fine that British people are putting them on toast. The phrase beans on toast is still funny to me however. It’s fun to say out loud. Beans on toast.

Anyway here’s a video from the Indigenous Food Lab on how to make baked beans with indigenous North American ingredients:

Neat!

i forget this yik yak from my former college isnt like a viral meme because i say it so fucking much. trying not to shidfart my panta

What a lad

I LOVE his buddy who stands behind him to be his extra leg when he does the jive like they have CLEARLY COORDINATED THAT BEFORE

These posts are cousins to me.

10 year old college humor sketch that i watched at 1am last night and have since watched five more times

not gonna lie, when i saw that a cybertruck had exploded i legit didn't realize it was some sort of premeditated thing, i just thought it was just another extreme flaw in it's design. i had no idea fireworks were involved, i honest to god thought it just did that on its own

THAT WAS THE BEST SONG CHOICE FOR THIS VID

I thought I dreamt this video

I love baseball

they let the pest control man throw out the first pitch 😭

The spectrum of human sexuality….

I really don't care if Miley Cyrus smoked a bong. She's 18? She can live her own life...

when I was in college in the 1990s I took a document design course and we had to go talk to an archivist at the university library

the library had a single page from a gutenberg bible (the bible had been damaged by fire and the remaining undamaged pieces cut apart and sold) and a CD sitting next to each other

we looked at the bible page, marveling at this 500+ year old page with its neatly set type, carefully kept under a sheet of glass to protect it

and then she held up the CD and pointed out that in 500 years, if a CD could even last that long, it was unlikely we'd possess the technology to read it

and we all got very quiet and look at the book page for a long time

and is evidenced by the fact I'm telling you about this almost 30 years later, I have never forgotten that blank-looking shiny piece of plastic sitting next to a beautiful, ancient piece of paper that someone pressed words into with a machine and left for me to read, hundreds of years before I was born.

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

this is prime proof that this ENTIRE WEBSITE is autistic because nowhere else would a no tags post that's just an informative list about slang get this much traction.

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com

as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

good luck out there 👍

How to Pay Hospital Bills When You’re Flat Broke

USAmericans, I am jumping up and down and waving my hands to get your attention: this is because your government refuses to stand between you and drug manufacturers.

In many other countries, the government has a department which makes deals with drug companies about which ones can supply drugs for the entire country. This gives them a lot of power to bargain the price down, because otherwise the company loses access to the market of The Entire Country. We still get the same drugs as you, including name-brand ones, but we pay much less. For example, I had to look into the cost of HRT in Aotearoa and a bottle of T gel is $22NZD*, which is about a third of the price I see USAmericans mention for it AFTER insurance!

And this can't even be totally blamed on the insurance industry (though they may also profit from higher drug prices) because we also have private health insurers! This is because the drug companies know that they can make you pay many, many times more for drugs by stopping the government from standing between you and them.

*This is assuming you're getting it unfunded for some reason; most people pay $5 or $0 because of further medication subsidies.
