Season’s Beatings in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world
[–] 3 points 6 hours ago*

I mean... you can still beat someone up, if that helps...

And if you need a bargain, once they're on the ground you can take their phone

EDIT: Ok, I'll admit it... this sounds bad. But hear me out. What if we had just one day every year when it's acceptable to do something like this?

    What the fuck? Strom Thurmond was in office at 100 years old? Am I reading this right?

    EDIT: "A staunch opponent of civil rights legislation in the 1950s and 1960s, Thurmond completed the longest single-person Senate filibuster, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957."

    Would you look at that... He was something of an expert at overstaying his welcome

    EDIT 2: Thurmond died from complications of old age in his sleep at 9:45 p.m. on June 26, 2003, at a hospital in his hometown of Edgefield, South Carolina. He was 100 years old. After lying in state in the rotunda of the South Carolina State House in Columbia, his body was carried on a caisson to the First Baptist Church for services, at which then-Senator Joe Biden of Delaware delivered a eulogy,[319] and later to the family burial plot in Willowbrook Cemetery in Edgefield, where he is interred.[320][321] Thurmond died on the same day that the United States Supreme Court handed down its Lawrence v. Texas decision, which legalized gay sex across all U.S. states.[322]

    Folks, if you didn't know this guy, you gotta read his wiki. It's hilarious. It's like he lived only to see everything he hated happen before his eyes.

    Oh but I can

    I do use many tabs

    I have entire windows full of tabs

    I have two browsers full of windows full of tabs

    I've been meaning to quit Google Chrome for two years

    I can't

    There's tabs in it

    I cleared them at one point but then my Firefox was so full of tabs that I used Chrome for a while

    So now it's full of tabs again

    I am a tab hoarder

    Also... I could have put these sentences in a paragraph but... I just feel like if I put them on separate lines, they'll be easier for me to spot when I need them.

    I have a serious problem

    "Not her. My pronouns are they them"

    Cool. I'll tell my dad this movie is out so him and his 60 year old friends can laugh about how their grandparents would think that's hilarious.

    This movie is so outdated that museums are bidding for it.

    Seriously, how do you put out a 90-year old movie in 2026 and how much effort did it take to colorize this?

    I literally, and this is true, live next to the graveyard where my great-grandparents are buried. I played this trailer by their graves. They rose from their graves and said "It's alright but it's a little before my time"

    You are old. You are old and embarassing and you need to stop embarassing yourself whoever you are who wrote this. Just retire. You have done enough.

    (And no, it wasn't funny 90 years ago either)

    TIL cats are polyamorous (lemmy.world)
     

    UPDATE: This meme has been self-fulfilling because I got home this morning to find the cat in question doing the deed with four male cats in broad daylight in the middle of my yard (the original post was triggered quite innocently by her "bonding" with a cat that wasn't her male bff)

    I DID NOT KNOW that they all do it the same day! What the fuck. I figured it happens over the course of the whole spring or something

    Gross.

    Not kink-shaming but wtf cats! Where's this behavior coming from? 😂 I thought y'all were just innocent adorable furballs

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I have about a dozen strays to catch and take to the vet. No joke.

    FURTHER UPDATE: It's been 3 hours. The same four cats have returned and are watching the girl one eat. What the fuck is going on?! [ shaking and crying in a corner ] I don't want cats anymore I don't want cats anymore I don't want cats anymore I don't want cats anymore I don't want cats anymore. I chased them away. Forget it. It's 3:30pm. They can go somewhere else or at least wait for dark. I don't want my neighbors to see a cat orgy in my front yard 🫣🫣🫣

    TIL how wild animals are vaccinated for rabies en masse (historyofvaccines.org)
     

    I began reading about rabies after I noticed one of the local cats behaving somewhat oddly and aggressively and ended up learning that my odds of catching it from a wild animal while hiking are lower than I previously believed.

    There is one part of the article that I disagree with and it's right at the top: "But what if the animals you need to vaccinate are wild raccoons roaming through forests, or foxes living in the mountains? You can’t exactly call them into an office for an appointment."

    I mean, have you tried? Maybe leave a message with their assistant? They're always busy when I see them.
