RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE

There's a Haribo advert I keep getting on Youtube where a bunch of adult wrestlers are dubbed by toddlers and I cannot adequately express the bone-chilling horror it instils in me.

I don't understand how anyone thought it was a remotely appealing concept.
 
Those Haribo adverts have been around for at least 10 years ... probably longer
 
Discogs. More bugs than an Australian swamp and up and down like a bloody yoyo.
 
How if you read an article about something miserable the algorithmic panopticon we inhabit is like "oh, you must have loved that article about Lucy Letby. Boy, have I got some sweet DEAD BABY CONTENT for you!"
 
Typing a wall of text, then the page refreshes/app restarts/content gets deleted (and no screenshot nor copy and paste) and it's all gone. 🙃

Happened twice today on Reddit but oh well, I'll try again later, more concisely..!
 
Actually on the dangly things getting tangled front, I spent about twenty minutes trying to untangle a necklace yesterday with lube and then safety pins. God sends his toughest battles to his most dyspraxic soldiers.
 
This horrendous pair's YouTube shorts which I cannot stop watching in morbid horror -







 
The fact that schools seem to do FUN things for kids now like proms and trips to theme parks. Talking to colleagues just 10 years younger and they all got those too. We couldn’t do anything unless it was considered to be educational.

I may be technically an elder Millennial but I definitely identify more with Gen X on these things.

My 6 year old has had a trip to the zoo "because we've been learning about different types of animals" and a jolly to the beach "because we've been learning about different materials" :eyes:

I had a trip to the beach too! But I was 15 and we had to measure longshore drift.

It's nice the kids get to do fun things now. Let them.

Their adult lives will be horrific and many of them will die in The Water Wars.
 
Somebody who thinks percentages should be written in cumbersome WORDS instead of simple, easily digestible NUMBERS. Don't make me consult the STYLE GUIDE.
 
Why do trains and buses wait for hot days for the A/C to break? What is this, 1975?

If the air isn’t going to work when it’s supposed to, there’s no point having it, is there?

:tableflip:
 
Personally, I'm all for them.

They've been introduced for environmental reasons. Too many people throw plastic bottle tops away and litter parks, pavements and other public spaces with them.

That’s just weird. I always put the top back on to crush the bottle and take the air out before recycling, just to reduce space.
 
I hope you're all SNIPPING YOUR RINGS or else you may as well GO THROTTLE A SWAN

Two points

We had similar trips when I went to school.

There are kids I teach who are so poor, by many shocking metrics. A trip to a theme park with school may be the only time they have that experience.

Yeah, it’s fair enough. I just never heard of it before when I was a child. Maybe just not in my borough then. We did trips, but never anything designed to be fun.
 
I remember visiting the BATTLEFIELDS of France and Belgium. One day we did an all day tour of different GRAVEYARDS during one of those early 2000s heatwaves on a bus without air conditioning, one of the most miserable days of my life!
 
I remember holding a piece of paper over a gravestone and rubbing with a crayon
 
I didn't get to go on the school trip to Normandy because I was a POVVO but I was so sick of learning about the world wars all the time that it was actually a mercy.
