  • Started a YouTube Music ‘radio’ list based on Avenge Sevenfold’s ‘The Wicked End’ in the operating room a few weeks ago, and after a couple hours of the algorithm digging its own rabbit hole, it phased itself out of that kind of alternative rock in favor of The Hu and viking sea shanties and just weird shit leading to weirder shit.

    Fuckin loved it. Doc wasn’t a fan; circulating nurse thought it was funny and refused to change it. 10/10.




  • Taco Bell has always been a particular case of “how the fuck are they still in business??” …on top of way over priced, subpar quality, and subpar taste, they sell a product in a saturated market, and nearly all of their competitors are better.

    Even if we’re talking shitty fast food, there are dozens of Taco Bell like chains, and almost all of them are better than or at least equal to Taco Bell.

    And outside of shitty fast food, actual Mexican food is all over the place. To include more authentic taquarias that usually sell tacos and burritos for like half of what Taco Bell does and their product is fucking delicious. We have one of those near were I live - right across the street from a Taco Bell… and every day Taco Bell has a line around the fucking building, while the cheaper, better, and ready-to-take-your-order place is right fucking there! Drives me insane.


  • I could have sworn there was a mod for one of the GTA games that replaces the model/skin of the grenades with can of biscuit dough. You’d throw it, it’d roll and do nothing for a sec, then there would be no actual explosion, but that muffled splat sound the cans make and some dough would squeeze out from the seams.

    …but the everything else responded normally as they would to a grenade; so a can of biscuit dough popping would still send people ragdolling away from it, cause cars to explode, etc.

    Maybe it was just a parody gif someone made and not an actual mod? I can’t find it. Q_Q





  • Fortunately you don’t need to!

    Upon sneeze initiation of non-voluntary inhalation and the iconic “Ah-” you can consciously react with a valsalva maneuver* of the airway by retracting your tongue up toward your nasopharynx - try it now while exhaling, and if done correctly your exhale should be fully blocked and you’ll feel a slight pressure increase in your head. Doing this after that inhalation portion of a sneeze will similarly block the “-choo!” half, keeping the air and slurry of snot and pathogens all internal, at the cost of making yourself subtable to the consequences listed in OP’s article.

     

    *not to be confused with a valsalva maneuver of the GI tract, which can cause hernias and a vasovagal response that dips your blood pressure and can make you pass out






  • All the memes about those things got me interested in actually trying them. Turns out those light-blue packaged ones are a pain in the ass to find in the US - eventually spotted in the European section of a ‘world foods’ type grocer. Now I’m excited to dive in: not expecting magic or anything, but this much hype on the internet is founded on something surely.

    Even made toast to eat em with to get the full experience.

    They tasted like… beans. They’re just beans. Nothing special about the flavor or texture. On toast they taste like beans + bread.

    You fuckers had me so pumped for that shit, and they’re just fuckin’ beans.

    3/10. Sated hunger and curiosity. Nothing else.
