I was doing some brief research on a decent pocket knife to get (ended up with a Leatherman Micra) and wound up being introduced to the "EDC community"

These people are hilarious

They're wandering around carrying half a dozen knives, fishing kits, no less than 3 ways of starting a fire, and enough cordage to rig a yacht

And those are the ones not carrying at least 2 guns

THEY WORK IN AN OFFICE, NOT A WARZONE

these are Sri Lankan Frogmouths

we (the fediverse in general) should probably look for more web storage providers and spread things out a bit

half the fediverse losing images any time wasabi goes down for maintenance is a little silly for a distributed thing

OH! "A Story About My Uncle" is a game!

I though Humble Bundle was just offering random tales about their family members

For sale: old pack of mentos

Mint condition

The Costume Institute at the Met should do a jorts exhibition

Preferably curated by @blackle@dev.glitch.social as it's the subject matter expert

he's just wandered off after filling up with food

HE'S BACK TO HIS NORMAL SELF!

reggie, one of the cats that comes to visit, had an abscess that burst so he's been a bit sorry for himself and off his food and incredibly stinky the poor sod

we've been cleaning it up for him every night when he comes in and taking good care of him and today he's feeling much better, isn't in anywhere near as much of a mess, and is currently eating all the food in the house!

PaddyPower has opened books for "Which thing will be rationed first in 2019"

They've set the odds on most of the items somewhat unsettlingly high

later horcruxes would have been a bunch of keys he forgot the purpose of, some dead batteries, and a bit of string

yeah, they're horcruxes now, but seriously, an old diary, a necklace, a ring, an old trophy, a tiara, and a random snake?

dude was clearing out his junk drawer

Harry Potter and the Wandering Around to Find the Contents of Voldy's Junk Drawer

oh wow, Omega are starting to make Caliber 321 movements again

For those who aren't total watch nerds, this is the watch movement that went to the moon inside the Speedmaster chronographs that were used in the Apollo program

this idea is free for anyone to make into a short story/novel/webseries/film/tv show

I forsee many people wandering from town to town with usb drives working as meme traders

swapping lolcats for food to survive in the brave new world
