This is a hardcore case of l’esprit de l’escalier-adjacent image finding.

I finally found the below image tonight, days and days after wanting to use it as a reply to an appropriate post:

I do wish my French were better: I’d come up with something sounding much better than “finding an image days and days after looking for it.”

Gogol translate to the rescue!

«L’esprit de l’image cachée» !!!

Well i’m sure the folks in the UK will sleep fine knowing that the guy with the power of a veto (that hasn’t been used in centuries) was surprised by saran wrap

It seems the straights have gotten ahold of another word they don’t quite understand. On TikTok, a series of posts, from seemingly straight men, have been heralding the arrival of “Locktober” and “Locktober Fest.” They’ve been encouraging each other to “lock in” on personal and fitness goals, giving each other daily updates, and even making t-shirts under a banner that fetishists have been using for almost a decade to mean something wholly different. But shockingly, there are some striking parallels between the two meanings

I saw a ring many years ago I really wish I could’ve afforded. Plain gold ring. Toss it into a fire for a bit, and the writing appeared. (Note: DO NOT try to hold it after taking it out of the fire, it wasn’t that screen accurate :smiley: )

I can’t recall exactly how the Egg Banjo came up in conversation today.
I’m sure it’s not unique to the UK, though.

Instead, she found a large speaker blaring out the disembodied howls as police and attorneys looked on — all part of an unusual “test” that was conducted for a civil lawsuit against the city.

“It was so jarring,” Robbins said, noting that the screams continued playing for an hour, even after children started getting dropped off at a day care on the block. “It was just really awful.”

“So Mr. Hicks’s lawyers devised a test," Murphy wrote. “And with no warning to the people who live and work near Broad and Passyunk in South Philadelphia, the lawyers played a looped recording of a woman screaming. At 122 decibels. For an hour. At 5:30 a.m.”

That’s way louder than most people can scream.

“Although human screams are typically 80–100 dB , the loudest recorded scream was heard at 121.7 dB in 1994. Keep reading to learn more about the screaming potential of humans and how long you can be exposed to a scream before experiencing hearing damage.”

Bastards.
