people who have not worked in the service industry in years (if at all, ever) will be like “you have to work SATURDAYS? 😰” yeah man things you guys go to are open those days. So there i must fucking be

the walking polar bear gif is already one of my favourite gifs so can you imagine the noise I made when I saw this version

If the company’s TEAMSTERS strike, the PILOTS will strike??

YESSSS!!!

...Lemme put this in context.  Airlines are HURTING FOR PILOTS.  Flying is a very expensive hobby, and it’s very expensive to get a pilot’s license.  

It used to be just about anybody could do that, but *gestures at minimum wage vs inflation* (federal minimum wage is around $8, yet we now need $28 to survive, folks, it’s gotten that bad) so of COURSE people aren’t able to become pilots!

And the Air Force, et al, aren’t flying as many planes because they’re investing more in drones than in pilots, so you can’t go into the military hoping to become a pilot that way, getting the military to pay for your training... (Plus there are hundreds and hundreds of people serving groundcrew for every single pilot, so the odds were always low to begin with.)

So combine all of that with the fact 3,300 pilots are saying they will also go on strike...

There aren’t enough spare pilots to fully scab their strike.

Before I… crack them open?

....before you put them in here:

the water cup even comes with a little needle at the bottom for hole-poking purposes, see:

sorry i meant boil not cook

WHAT IS THAT

It's an egg cooker!

It's like a toaster and an electric kettle had a baby and ...the baby boils eggs.

#is this specifically a German thing#because Germans tend to have Opinions about eggs#also the only people I know who actually know how to use an egg cup are German#teach me your ways - I still don’t understand why you’d use an egg cup. and I can’t imagine boiling eggs not in a pot on the stove

no egg cup:

egg cup:

#why is the wobble an issue you pick them up one at a time shell then and eat them like not whole but just#you hold them and bite them and eat then till there's none left? why does this need extra tools

...at this point i'm sorry to introduce...the egg spoon.

Even better news about German egg related gadgets… the Eierköpfer (it also has a super long German name), for when you need a guillotine to open your egg neatly

No offence to Germany but why are you guys so fucking insane

nothing to see here. Just normal feelings about egg.

Hehehe ihr habt Eier gesagt

Tumblr having a normal one today I see

man the site that used to be full of people horny for the onceler now getting really hyped about tree law is some serious poetic irony

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.

Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.

Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.

A good samaritan indeed
