Odd Stuff (Part 1)

4 Likes

Random thought. not sure where to post this so im posting in this odd stuff thread. I get that Boingboing relies on ad revenue and I don’t fault them for it, but dang this company “revcontent” that is posting ads is the spammiest sort of garbage. For a while every other ad i was seeing was for screw in teeth. I really hate the ones that use a totally misleading graphic of some creepy or gross looking thing that isn’t what the headline says. That pouring coffee on a raw egg is a good example. but a lot of times it will mention some health condition and have a closeup of some bizarre plant or sea creature or something. I’m definitely not clicking on these things. And i feel like it’s exploitative of the kind of people gullible enough to actually click on them…

I kind of don’t blame them? Although they could have gotten in touch with a mortuary and have them send his body back to Canada? But then again, I guess they would have had to report it?

Someone get Caitlin on the horn…

Storing Britain’s obsolete nuclear submarines has cost the nation £500m – with some 1960s boats having been in storage for longer than they were in service.

This is just, so, unbelievably, totally wrong. This shit happening in a “Western Industrialized Nation” is unthinkable. No words.

My brother had a ferret. He was a nice little guy, though his toileting habits were … not great.

The ferret, that is. My brother’s a nice guy too, and his toileting habits are fine.
