I believe that 1/3rd of the twin population is actually living as their sibling and don’t know it. Like they got switched during bath time and never went back.

I want to see the fight pages. This is so sickening.

During the mid-20th century, cats played an important role on ships as skilled rodent catchers. Sailors realized that having cats aboard helped control the population of rats and mice, which were notorious for damaging supplies and spreading diseases. These ship cats became valued members of the crew and were even given passports to acknowledge their contribution and ensure their safety during international travels.

The passports for ship cats were a unique and lighthearted tradition. While they didn't serve any legal or official purpose, they were created to recognize the cats' role and provide a form of identification. The passports typically consisted of a small booklet with pages that included the cat's name, description, and an area for their paw print.

When it was time to depart or dock in a foreign port, the ship's captain or crew members would present the cat's passport to the authorities as a fun way to document the feline's presence onboard. The cat's paw print, obtained using ink or paint, was added to the designated page, providing a personalized and whimsical touch to the document. This practice not only amused the sailors but also showcased the camaraderie they shared with their feline companions.

While these ship cat passports were not legally recognized, they symbolized the close bond between humans and their feline shipmates. They served as a reminder of the cats' essential role in maintaining a clean and rodent-free ship, thus safeguarding the crew's provisions and health during long sea voyages.

However, as the mid-20th century progressed and maritime practices evolved, the reliance on ship cats diminished with the advent of more effective pest control methods. With the decline in the need for ship cats, the tradition of issuing passports gradually faded away. Nevertheless, the memory of these seafaring felines and their unique passports continues to fascinate and entertain those interested in maritime history and the unique relationships forged between humans and animals at sea.

@zjziggy You’re right, it would be so much more fun to sit in a small tube on the floor with 4 other people and to not even have a chair to sit in and to poop behind a curtain right next to the only window.

Can confirm. I have been here 😂

Listen if y’all want a Titanic experience just go to Gatlinburg. They assign you a passenger & you find out if you survived at the end! You get to feel how cold the water was & they have OG costumes + things from the real ship! Don’t feed yourself to the Kraken for 250K. 😭

@ask_aubry Meanwhile they require women be 5’6 and 99lbs with the body of an anime character.

I’m just going to co-sign AOC on this one.

I say often that I feel like I believe in a different God than my fellow Catholics and Christians today. We clearly interpret the Bible differently.

We need to stop allowing the weaponization of religion in our government and daily lives.

I love ALL of you, even if we disagree on everything. We’re all human, and life sucks enough without us tearing each other down. We all gotta live on this planet, you know what I’m sayin’?

I hope we can get there before it’s too late. 💯

Much 💚 and keep fighting!

Shows like Friends, M*A*S*H and Seinfeld were shot on film and presented on TV in 4:3 aspect ratio.

For streaming, unused portions of the film negative are used to create a 16:9 widescreen image—if the reframe is sloppy, the audience sees more than was intended. "Friends" s10e01

Why would anyone want to watch Elon musk and his fanboys for 2 hours??

Bryan Kohberger slid into the DMs of one of his victims. She ignored it like we are told to do.

He murdered her and her friends.

Often hear how women are paranoid, overreact, & even we SHOULD placate violent men.

This doesn't make them less violent. It may not even delay it

[James Moran @jamesmoran]

If they made Raiders of the Lost Ark today, they'd probably cram it with woke anti-Nazi propaganda, put in a feisty woman who can outdrink men twice her size, and make the hero keep failing and scared of snakes or some shit, ugh

[Cartoons Hate Her! @CartoonsHateHer]

Fellas, here’s something you need to know about women: we love personal rebrands. It started when we were 9 and vowed to become the “butterfly girl” who always wore butterfly motifs, only wrote in purple pen, and used 2 butterfly hair clips every day.

[Lindsay Powell @LindsaysPowell]

@zjziggy 100% agree. They just try to make you pay and leave as quickly as possible.

When I got my gallbladder removed that kept getting severely inflamed for no reason, I had a significant amount of scar tissue. I thought they would give me some answers when they dissected it, but were just like “yep it was inflamed” no idea why and hope there’s no other issue

Did I ever tell you all about my school friend, who started fainting, all the time, and she went for tests, and finally they gave her a diagnosis, and she was so happy to have one, but them she looked it up, and the diagnosis was literally just the scientific term for 'fainting'?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried explaining away Climate Change by arguing that no one paid taxes during the Ice Age:

Let me break this down a little bit for you:

- The last ice age began approximately 2.6 million years ago and peaked approximately 20,000 years ago.
- At its peak, temperatures were estimated to be approximately 10°F cooler than they are today.
- That equates to a temperature rise of 0.05°F per century over 20,000 years.
- Over the last 100 years (1 century) alone, the average surface temperature has increased by 1°F
- This is 20 times faster than it had gained on average over the 190 centuries prior.
- What changed? Industry and the burning of fossil fuels.

Carbon dioxide causes a greenhouse effect, keeping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and surface. The levels of CO2 have increased drastically over the last century.

FACTS matter and so do educated politicians.

The fact that people freak out about pedophilia being normalized due to the lgbtq+ “slippery slope” is incredible to me when in 1975 an article referred to 12 year old Brooke shields as "a sultry mix of all-American virgin and nascent whore"
