They don’t need it but they’re worth it.

Stick so I can share it with a dog. In a pinch, the stick can be broken and become more sticks. This is especially useful in a multi-dog scenario.

It’s an avocato.

They’re out there but it’s been hard to document their existence since they blend in so well with their environment. This natural camouflage is a double-edged sword, however: they may be able to avoid getting eaten by predators but it also makes reproduction particularly challenging since they have a hard time finding one another to do it like the Discovery channel.
Even when a potential breeding pair are able to meet up, their coupling is far from guaranteed due to the abundance of other green orifices in their usual habitats. Grass-covered mole-hills, mossy logs with holes in them and bee nests in leafy trees have all been accidental natural fleshlights for these poor creatures. Like they say, it’s not easy being green.

I’d rather believe that it opens outward and upward (out of frame) like a DeLorean.
- Comment on MFW I'm cutting back on groceries (yet again) so that a line goes up somewhere 5 weeks ago:
In the USA and (most, if not all of) Canada, calling 211 should connect you with a call center which can give information on food benefits, utility assistance and other resources available in your area. Eligibility and the amount of assistance (whether in the form of direct payments, food items or a payment card that only works for food) will vary based on your location, income, etc. but it may help offset those increased costs.
There’s no shame in it despite what the red-hat golden bootstraps crowd will tell you. Times are tough right now for a lot of people and that’s what these programs are for.
Back to the regularly scheduled shitposting though.

Sounds like A Nice Morning Drive. As noted in the archived page above, that story inspired the song Red Barchetta by the band Rush.

Also adopt UTC as global time while we’re improving things. No more messing around with all those different time zones, one is enough.

Give the deer a bright orange glow and then jam some deer genes into their predators so they have a harder time seeing that color. Close the loop by taking a selection of those predators’ features and distributing them at random in the glowing fish population.

After some use (assuming no preparation or protective coverings), that will probably look like a shit post.

Become a sovereign citizen (or at least play one for your marketing material) and through the power of belief in bullshit, you can sell courses on trading social security benefits to credulous morons.

Might as well come clean, I didn’t actually count them and was just echoing this comment (with some slight changes) from another of OP’s posts. I have no idea how many fries are supposed to be in there and thought it’d be funny if somebody else counted them, found that I was off by a significant number and called me on it. Nobody took the bait this time around though.

You can tell it’s a demogorgon by its willingness to display its abilities. Don’t confuse it with its much more dangerous relative, the demigorgon.

Yeah, just having a little fun in the role of a paranoid admin. My setup isn’t worth mentioning since it fits my threat model (i.e. nobody gives a shit about my network, just don’t be the low hanging fruit) but I’m interested in other replies. Hope you get some useful responses here.
