Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️

Maybe its just cause I'm high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I'm thinking about finding a rancher friend.

This is peak ATBGE.

I would never in a million years wear those myself, but I admire the hell out of them.

Sounds like Jager bomb in a convenient twist-off bottle

TBH, that's significantly better than I would have expected for photos of the stars taken on a phone.

FYI stars (and anything over a few hundred feet actually) is at an infinite distance as far as your phone's optics are concerned. So it's not a matter of focusing, it's a matter of trying to resolve what are effectively pinpoints of light on a black background while in your hand, where the minutest movement will smear them across the sensor.

Photographing the stars is not trivial, even with a real camera and a tripod.

Pretty sure the target demographic is dudes who want to fuck a deer.

The funny part is that is clearly a buck!

I dunno, being able to get my 8 hours of work in AND get a full nights' sleep at the same time, leaving 16 hours for leisure sounds awesome to me!

At least that's how I'm choosing to believe this will play out, for the sake of my sanity.

Paypal has altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it further.

In 20 years or less this will sound as stupid as if some "innovator" of the early automobile days had added a galloping motion to car seats or a lever you could pull to dump fake manure in the middle of the road.

Look, I really enjoy driving a car with a manual transmission, and I will probably own one until they are as expensive to own as a horse is currenrly. But I can't for the life of me imagine why someone would take a system that has none of the disadvantages of a manual transmission system, and... add them back in a completely superficial way for some reason.

As a kid I always figured Zippy was some kind of grown up humor that only made sense to wiser adults. Turns out it was always just pure fever dream-grade insanity.

Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American Flag-Shaped Cake

That is still one of the realest Onion stories of all time. Always gets me how well they were able to point out the absurdity of so many Americans' reactions in the hours and days after, while also obviously feeling the same reaction themselves.

Sarcasm detector did not go Brrrr

So much this. The way headlines like this frame the situation is so ass-backwards it makes my brain hurt. In any sane world, we'd be celebrating the automation of mundane tasks as freeing up time and resources to improve our health, happiness, and quality of life instead of wringing our hands about lost livelihoods.

The correct framing is that the money and profits generated by those mundane tasks are still realized, it's just that they are no longer going to workers, but funneled straight to the top. People need to get mad as hell not at the tech, but at those who are leveraging that tech to specifically to deny them opportunity rather than improving their life.

I need a beer. 😐
