  • I dunno man. That guy murdered a bunch of babies via plague, killed some kids via siccing a bear on them to maul them to death, wiped out almost all life on the planet because he didn’t like how the humans—a very small sect of life on the planet—was acting, slaughtered a city, denied man knowledge, and loves songs about babies’ heads getting dashed on rocks.

    Oh, and if he really is responsible for everything, then he’s responsible for creating a world where living beings have to kill other living beings to survive in the first place.

    Even if he’s real, I don’t think he’s worthy of worship. They claim he’s all-loving, but that love seems pretty darn limited and conditional.

    I much prefer Sir Terry Pratchett’s take: if there is a god, then it is up to us to become his moral superior.





  • Okay so, aside from the fact that, as another person pointed out, you can wash the eggs, that ‘poop and stuff’ includes a sort of exterior membrane that keeps the eggs fresh even when left out of the fridge.

    Commercial washing removes that membrane, which is why those store-bought eggs go bad faster.






  • Mill Ends was started by an Irish immigrant who spent so long looking at an unfinished lamppost hole that he finally decided to do something about it.

    Fun story about Mill Ends: At one point, the people in charge of the second smallest park, in England, petitioned to have Mill Ends stripped of its title due to the fact that it ‘didn’t have a fence’. The very next day a dollhouse fence appeared in the park.

    Another fun story about Mill Ends: according to its creator, it has a colony of leprechauns living in it, the only colony outside of Ireland. He would periodically write about their adventures.
