in less polite terms: I didn't know so much shite could come out of such small creatures

Anyone had any luck potty training wild hedgehogs?

'cause cleaning them out every day is frequently a bit... unpleasant

Usually I hate the fact that christmas stuff is appearing in stores earlier and earlier each year

But in recent years UK supermarkets are selling lebkuchen

I fucking love lebkuchen

I will never be as rad as this biker bun

Could be an awesome look for @maple though

Fun fact: If you're in the UK, this may be the first year you receive crappy christmas tat that was delivered from china primarily by train!

Okay, this thing looks pretty cool

Very disappointed that maplestory 2 currently has no @maple related content

That's just false advertising

tiny hedgie!

These bloody liberals saying "sunlight is the best disinfectant"

No it isn't!

If your surgeon tells you "'sallright, I left these scalpels on a windowsill for 20 minutes, they're fine" you're gonna be a bit bloody worried aren't you?

Now I'm not saying that we necessarily should treat nazis like we treat surgical tools because that would be incredibly ironic and far too on the nose but seriously liberals, come up with decent metaphors

Huh, TIL that Outlook replaces all smiley faces with "J" in plain text emails

Apparently they decided to auto change ":)" to the windings smiley face in anything you send, and when that gets converted to plain text you end up with "J"

Because Microsoft evidently haven't heard of the emoji block in unicode

That bug's been in there since 2010

this is not our cat

@natalie@masto.ninja was you I was talking about keyboards with wasn't it?

Found this: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/apt-hall-effect-mechanical-keyboard?mode=guest_open

Hall-effect switches, comes with 60g springs but I'm sure you'll be able to swap them out with something lighter

Why limit yourself to one set of knuckle tats?

With implantable LED displays you could display any arbitrary knuckle tat at any time!

You could even have them scroll for more characters!

"New Doctor Who slammed as ‘unrealistic’ after showing working train between Sheffield and Manchester"

http://newsthump.com/2018/10/09/new-doctor-who-slammed-as-unrealistic-after-showing-working-train-between-sheffield-and-manchester/

Finally a linus techtips video title that encapsulates the entire channel

"WHY?"

I've just had to walk two and a half km to and from the shops to get the hedgehogs some of food they like because we'd run out

Those lil adorable buggers better appreciate it

I'm still shocked that anyone expected Kanye West to have good opinions on anything

Dude named his firstborn child "North"

Yeah, "North West"

Seriously
