I must be sleep deprived because this stupid meme made me laugh

What’s the difference between a grandfather clock and a grandmother clock?

The ding dongs

Screw the rules, I have money

The worse is when a solution seems obvious but doesn’t work. Then you lose your mind clicking everything until you get the actual solution.

Got it. Thanks for the super detailed instructions! What type of bread do you use? I’ll have to try making this some time since I love garlic bread

Oh that makes sense. I guess you’d need specific bread for that. I usually just have baguettes at home and that likely won’t work with the soft interior

How do you cut the garlic or do you put the whole clove as is?

I personally like to add pressed garlic with melted butter onto bread then add Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese.

Mavis Beacon was how I learned to type and it’s available for free. Not sure how this version compares to the old one but there were tons of different games to teach you all the different parts of the keyboard (like symbols or the number line).

As for breaking the muscle memory, maybe you can put tape on your middle fingers to try to make it feel difficult to type with just those fingers.

Partially true. Though female sloths will release a mating call, it looks like a female in estrus will be about 200% more active than normal.

But you’re missing the point that the population of Japan specifically is on the decline and has been for decades.

Even if we take out the cost of pensions for the elderly out of the equation, if people aren’t having kids to replace themselves, there won’t be enough working age people to fill every job needed.

For reference, the Japanese birth rate as of June 2024 was only 1.2. If that trend continues, in say 20-30 years, there will be about 1/2 of adults then as there are now.

The easiest and most immediate solution for Japan (and South Korea which is also having the same problem) would be to ease immigration so that more people can come in to work. But that doesn’t help in the long run nor does it address the cultural and societal factors that have lead to this point. And even then, since both countries are so homogenous, it would be hard for natives to accept a huge influx of immigrants.

On the one hand, yes having a child with a higher quality of life is better than having many children.

However, there’s a good Kurzgesagt video about how the severe decline in birthrate can doom a population. Basically, if a population is not at the very least replacing itself, it will run out of young workers to keep the country going and vastly skew the proportion of elderly people to young workers. Small, rural towns will not survive since young people will flock to cities for work.

Though the video is based on Korea, the same concepts apply for Japan as well.

I’m Just a Kid…in my ass. I don’t like what this is implying

Yeah I saw the comment that had the deleted lyrics. Your silly made up one is much better

Oh yikes. The real lyrics are way worse than the commented lyrics. It’s more like fanfiction than lyrics since the flow is so bad

Thanks for preserving what will surely go down as one of the rap lyrics of all time

Is it That Darn Katz?

Game of Tones is one of my favorite episodes of the whole show but I don’t think I’d call it underrated. I feel like it’s pretty constantly mentioned when talking about sad episodes.

Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.

I didn’t want to go into all factors that lead to this observation because that would take too long and require more research on my part. Fear of retaliation (and desire for power) is more an explanation of at least why members of his own party won’t criticize him.
