  • "My [son's] asthma has been triggered multiple times because of this, and I had to take him to the doctor three times," one parent said, asking to remain anonymous.

    Like, there were students at my highschool who released stink bombs a couple times, but you'd think an adult would figure out they should quit the prank when kids started having breathing problems.

  • A lady I know got facebook scammed by someone pretending to be like a favorite actor of hers. She had brain damage from diabetes.

  • Scammers often make their scams slightly unbelievable so they only hit people who aren't entirely with it anymore. Dementia makes great targets.

  • Found only in males, the forehead rod—called a tenaculum—is the ghost sharks' only source of distinct teeth, and it seems to be used to grasp females in much the same way sharks use their toothy mouths in mating.

    Tenaculum is the new word of the day!

  • Before leaving the government during the layoffs this year, Rosario-Lebrón says he had to lobby hard for any attention to be paid to the ant smuggling issue, noting that he pushed to “make a legal route so that we could have the kids find legal queens to buy online, and we started working really hard to permit people.” Queen ants, the reproductive females that lay all the eggs, are necessary for any colony’s survival but are especially risky to transport, as letting an invasive queen loose in a new area means that it could establish a colony and displace native ants.

    And when they get loose and start causing problems to local ecosystems, it's going to cause way more money loss than paying some people to regulate them. I don't know if honeypot ants in florida will cause the same problems as ash borers or lanternflies, but that's not a gamble i want to take.

  • this guy gets a burn cooking and he's like "must've been because of my enormous penis" trips on the stairs "dick got caught in the spindles it's so big" gets sleep apnea "my giant schlong wraps itself around my throat when I'm sleeping"

  • He’s currently not working due to a heart problem and was denied Medicaid and other services for Caroline because he could not provide a Social Security number for her. A simple check-up for Caroline at the pediatrician’s office recently cost Kilburn about $700, he said, making him hesitant about going to other doctor’s visits.

    This would be just something annoying for this dude if it wasn't for the broken ass system we live in.

  • It sounds like at first he thought he had a food allergy or something. It's tough to blame a dude who's been in a coma for not having all his mental faculties and puzzling out he's a victim of attempted murder.

    i wonder if it bothers her that her primary victim got away, or if she's satisfied that she fucked him up forever by killing a bunch of his relatives.

  • COSAR praised the hikers for reporting the sound and reminded the public that their services are always free, even suggesting the money saved could “be spent on singling lessons.”

    Damn!

  • There's a line where I wouldn't want to taste a weird flavor, and this article made me realize battery doesn't cross it. Life is a never-ending series of personal discoveries.

  • it sucks that i'm curious

  • I like the idea of low cost ways to prevent heat from getting in, but...

  • I'm not really confused by them commissioning music. I've seen like, murals and so on in airports. I also like the idea of using recordings of background noise to make a track. It's the idea of playing ambient airport noises in an airport that confuses me. But that's art, I suppose. Something to think about. I don't think me being confused by the thought process here - knowing very little about the theory being ambient music - is a sign of the death of an empire. There's plenty of those around.

  • I wonder what song it was

  • An older victim said she feels vulnerable and intimidated by what had happened and that she is sorry that she did not speak up sooner but was afraid that people would laugh at her or not believe her.

    I mean, there it is, right? He thought if it was weird enough, they'd be too embarrassed to tell anyone. I'm glad they did, even though they knew people would think a guy tricking them into groping him is hilarious. He did this to young teens.

  • "I ended the assembly, took it off him and slowly carried it outside and put it behind a far tree in the car park. I wasn't 100% happy carrying it to be honest."

    I wouldn't be 100% happy doing that, either, even being 99% sure it couldn't go off.

  • Chatgpt is awful for people who have delusions.

  • and way too few breasts

  • Unfortunately, it's the kind of role that'll attract predators, even though I'm sure most of the people involved just want to do good. Like teaching and abusers and nurses and serial killing, etc.
