> He voiced the little boy in the famous 1969 Tootsie Pop commercial Mr. Owl "How Many Licks Does It Take?", often miscredited to fellow child actor Peter Robbins

Bonus “Mildly Interesting”: I don’t think I’ve ever seen the full version of the commercial before.

For reasons I have the same headset two times. The one I used just broke. This is the two headsets side by side. Used for roughly 7-8 years.

No caterpillers were harmed making this video. I'm assuming this is used as a scare tactic when they are threatened. Ice never seen this before and thought it was interesting.

I entered Experian into my calendar.

But I did NOT enter that weird emoji gibberish: dead roses, coffin, skull, cute puppies, happy faces, circus? What the heck is this

Saw this in Meijer today.

This tree face was on the other side of the yard.

We just lost two trees in the backyard because of a huge storm, so this feels like a good way to let our trees in the front yard know we still care.

Pretty nuts right?

Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.

The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.

I was not able to find an explanation. Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.

At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

Can you imagine the noise trying to live there?

The first photo is a picture from 2013, the second is one from 2020, and the third is one I got today (2024).

What's your favourite?

Translation according to Google (with edits):

UNITED BANKERS UNION

"Alternative union for all workers"

Colombia is union territory

EVEN THOUGH THE BANKS WANT TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IT

YOUR BOSS IS NOT YOUR OWNER

THIS BANK SQUEEZES, MISTREATS, INTIMIDATES, REPRESSES, AND HARASSES ALL ITS WORKERS VIOLATING THEIR LABOR RIGHTS

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.

I thought maybe I had accidentally put the screw in there myself but my only other box of this color I bought is 3-1/2"

Just received the photos of a sewer scope inspection for a client and the AI series of description fails gave me a giggle

Though I'm not sure this holds true for dyslexics.

edit: Apparently it's more complicated than the example claims.

This is the cd "Kingdom of Desire" by Toto. This booklet shows some lyrics which appear to be Chinese (E: nope, Japanese according to comment) Those are not sung in the song.

Bought in Thrift store, so maybe bootleg? Doesn't look like it though, it has a sticker on the front with touring dates of the band. So probably sold at a tour?

Doesn’t work for some flowers though

This is kinda blowing my mind right now.

I know generation bounds can be inconsistent, but I’m using this as the guideline:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation#List_of_social_generations

That puts Clinton, W, Obama, and Trump all as Baby Boomers and Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and HW all as Greatest Generation.

I can get behind using AI for this, it's really cool!

I had never seen one of these before today. They're great. Way better than reaching for a single pole in a crowded car and wrapping your hand around some stranger's fingers. And If you have the whole thing to yourself you can hook your arm through it.
