Gas prices would go through the roof as supplies dwindled. The oil producers can hold out much, much longer than the buyers.

My eye start crossing after 10 hours.

I was promised hairy palms.

A Calvin and Hobbs that was never printed.

but no longer needing anyone from society

Technology has a way of wearing out and breaking. Who’s going to fix all of your various machines you depend on? You? Who will machine the replacement parts, fix the code, supply the raw materials? You?

No, we’ll always need each other. No one is an island. We can’t do everything ourselves.

Don’t they teach anything in school anymore?

Depends on how much processing the food gets, I suppose. Not all food is heavily processed. Fresh and frozen vegetables and fruits, for instance.

Funky.

The headline says “rock legend” to garner clicks. Simple as.

Not needing a guard dog, if I were to get another dog, I would choose a black lab. That was my dog when I was a kid and she was a wonderful companion.

I upvoted because they’re right, then I downvoted because they’re no fun.

No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health

To identify a “safe” level of alcohol consumption, valid scientific evidence would need to demonstrate that at and below a certain level, there is no risk of illness or injury associated with alcohol consumption. The new WHO statement clarifies: currently available evidence cannot indicate the existence of a threshold at which the carcinogenic effects of alcohol “switch on” and start to manifest in the human body.

A new House bill would give federal courts the power to order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPN services to block designated foreign piracy sites, reviving a long-running debate over whether copyright enforcement belongs inside internet infrastructure.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) introduced H.R. 10364, the American Copyright Protection Act of 2026, on September 14, requiring any ISP, DNS provider, or VPN service with at least 100,000 US users to block court-designated foreign piracy sites.

FTFY

Around day four of a week-long backpacking trip just east of Yosemite, I encountered a bear one morning on my way to do my business. I turned a corner around a large boulder and there he was, was sunning himself on the trail. When he saw me he slowly got up and wandered back into the trees. That simple description left out the few seconds of sheer panic I experienced realizing that the bear could, if it wanted to, cover the distance between us before I could turn around and take three steps. There was nothing but flat, open ground between us and that is what was most frightening.

So, the image is fake, but the product exists. Also, Kmart does sell a few sex toys. So, the only lie here is that Kmart sells this particular sex toy, as it does not.

Damn, yes. I was just there and forgot the lube. And, a couple of big cucumbers, too, if you don’t mind? Thanks.

Oh! The lube is locked up in the vitamins section. You need to find someone with a key. Don’t worry, they’re very nice. Then, they walk it up to the front and you need to ask the girl at self-checkout to get it for you. She’s really friendly, always smiles when she see me.

In that case you’d also want the containment unit.
