but this isnt really anything new. If anything it would be a revival of the branded flash games era.

Something straight out of 2012

huh, i didnt realize there was an official term for those. Here, locally, ( Ohio ) ive only ever heard them called sacrificial toilets or "random basement toilet".

Fun fact, Lebanon, Ohio is locally pronounced Leb-anen or sometimes Leb-nen.

I dont even wait for it to stop. Ill answer, place myself on mute so they hear dead air, and then wait for them to disconnect on their own. Same number for nearly 20 years and only get spam calls about once a year when they try to probe my number again.

For a while id grab whatever didnt taste bitter, but lately ive been sticking to my local grocery store brand of whole beans for coffee and redbird for espresso when i feel like dealing with the machine. Ill try new stuff when i notice it, but usually end up back to my go-to brands.

eeewwww that almost sounds like their machine wasnt cleaned properly 🤮

When i first got my budget espresso machine i bounced around different espresso brands until i found LavAzza. Absolutely loved it the first time i tried it, bought it for a few years, and only stopped getting it because my retailer source was Amazon and i wanted to stop buying stuff from there. I switched to Redbird, which is also amazing (better imo, but thats just me), but still ocassionally get LavAzza if i spot it in store while im out running errands.

My experience isnt representative of the situation as a whole, but ive noticed a pull back in our usual shopping locations (mid-west US). Our local Meijer (grocery) closed half of the self checkouts and added two more people to their standard checkout lanes plus a few more to assist the remaining self checkout. Costco near us got rid of their self checkout entirely. Aldi on the other hand installed more self checkouts, but its in a gated area where you have to scan your receipt to get out.

If your in or near Ohio, i know of a local "antique" store (more like a flea market) with a booth selling several boxes full of old playboys.

I usually shout "one minute", "just a moment" or "in here". For some reason people like to try the door again when i say "one minute", though.

You can 100% buy mcdonalds without an app. Not sure what OP is on about.

Edit: I missed the "gentle" part of the ask. My bad.

This meme remix of a forum post asking for help identifying a song is just fun and annoying

Any of the "toad sings" are also fun ones.

Hmmm this seems like a fun read.....i thought before opening these comments and reading this hot take first.

Yeah, id say thats pretty unpopular.

The one i had back in college felt like memory foam. I got it 2nd hand at the time and know it was originally shipped in a box, but i dont recall the brand name :/

They make extra large foam "bean" bag chairs that i think would be the same more or less. I had one back in college and slept in it constantly b/c it was far cozier than my bed.

Edit: this is just an example i found from a quick search https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/Home-Garden/Jaxx-Grand-Lounger-7-Foot-Bean-Bag-Sofa-Luxe-Fur-Silver-Fox/34803550/product.html

okay...?

Huh? Ill be honest, the sex of either character never crossed my mind. The comic doesnt even draw attention to it. I found it funny because his goal, and overall campaign mission, was to kill the orc but fumbled their way into marrying them instead. Its classic situational humor that comes out of role playing games.

I bet it was the fish that got me on the list.
