Soon as we got grown, whole world broke as fuck. Ain’t nobody optimistic about it either.

Just once. It was after his dad died.

[Kevín @KevOnStage]

If you had your dad in your life how many times did you see him cry?

[Big B @OohLaLacy]

Wow

Most chewing gum is plastic and rubber. The pack calls it gum base.

Extra reads sorbitol, gum base, glycerol, natural and artificial flavors, then under 2% of sweeteners, soy lecithin, BHT and color. Orbit and Trident read about the same. Gum base is the part you actually chew, and none of the 3 say what it is.

FDA rule for gum base names 46 things a company can use and still print those 2 words. Polyvinyl acetate is on it, and that's the polymer in white glue. So is polyethylene, the same family as a grocery bag, and butyl rubber, which is what inner tubes are made of. Then paraffin, petroleum wax, polyisobutylene, pine rosin esters to soften it, and lanolin, which is the grease out of sheep's wool. Pick any mix and the label reads gum base.

It's why gum doesn't dissolve no matter how long you chew. The sweetener and the flavor wear out in a few minutes and what's left in your mouth is the polymer, which is also why it stays on a sidewalk for years. Gum used to be chicle, a tree sap. Simply Gum and Glee still use it and say so on the pack.

Zach Fox describing British food is killing me. He made a video about those people’s food in their restaurant and they probably don’t know that he dragged them

He's teaching English over there, which means there's going to be a small population of Laotian kids who speak English, like they are from Lafayette.

This Delgado/Inferno Gods/Caselli Family/Goon universe by Jahquel J is so addictive. I can’t wait until Heart of a Goon 2 audiobook comes out.

If my mom hadn’t called on Saturday, this would have been my whole weekend and I would’ve enjoyed it.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

i’m genuinely curious: is there anyone here who feels comfortable spending an entire day at home alone, without meeting or talking to anyone?

If u grew up watching Sesame Street in the 70s, 80s, or even early 90s, one of those memories for a lot of kids was hearing the “Down Down Baby” rhyme.

Sometimes the smallest moments from Sesame Street were the ones that stayed with us the longest… the songs, the street games,

They are never going to give you $9,000 to stay home with your kids. Just like you never got your DOGE check, tariff refund, cheaper groceries, $2 gas, a healthcare plan, or 600% off prescriptions.

At some point, being this gullible becomes a fucking choice.
