Is that a mirror? A hole into another dimension?
  • Not sure where this particular house is located but in places like Spain and South America it's pretty common for houses to have tiled floors all over.

  • For those who love to watch themselves eat
  • We get it you like circles!

    The house was built in 1969. Circles were peak modernity back then!

    I hatelove this house, you couldn't pay me a million dollars to live there but it is definitely achieving some kind of look....sort of like Flintstones porno set vibes.

  • How to report DM's and sender?
  • Where do I find it? I'm using Connect but I couldn't find the button on desktop either.

  • How long until it is ready?
  • It appears to not yet be ready

  • Wisconsin Teacher Accused of Having Sex with 8th Grade Student, Buying Him a Gun on His Birthday
  • The first thing that comes to mind is Brock Turner. He raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. To you does that fall under "violent rape" or "having sex with someone too drunk to consent"? In my view it's both. The violence is inherent in the act of being violated. People need to err on the side of consent or accept the risk of being called a rapist.

    How to report DM's and sender?

    I know there's a recent similar-sounding post but I think this is a different issue.

    Someone with a racist username DM'd me very graphic porn and insults. Obvious troll is obvious yet I can't find a report button on DMs or the user's profile. Please help.

  • You're really living up to your username by bringing joy to those around you. I love your cats.

  • It's probably more difficult for kids to throw house parties nowadays when their parents are out of town due to how accessible security cameras are.
  • Back when I was a teen, my folks would go away for a month and a half every summer and leave us kids behind (we were teenagers and didn't want to go) and obviously we would throw parties. One year I had cleaned the house really well and thought there was no way they would know. My dad came home and that's how I learned he keeps two cold beers in the fridge for when he gets home. And they were gone.
    He wasn't mad we threw parties, he wasn't mad we were underage drinking, but he was mad his two cold getting-home beers had been drank and not replaced. And that's how I found out my parents are humans who knew we were having parties and they didn't care as long as we didn't die or mess with their shit.

  • Today I learned that in 1942, the Canadian military simulated a Nazi invasion and "took over" Winnipeg

    Not a tl;dr, just my favourite bits:

    >Organizers believed that the fear induced by the event would help increase fundraising objectives.

    >The campaign was publicized in local newspapers for a few days before the event, although the "invasion" took many citizens by surprise.

    >Dressing stations were set up at strategic points to treat the mock casualties; they also treated the two real casualties of the event – a soldier who sprained his ankle, and a woman who cut her thumb preparing toast during the early-morning blackout.

    >The city was renamed "Himmlerstadt", and Main Street was termed "Hitlerstrasse".

    > At one local elementary school, the principal was arrested and replaced with a 'Nazi' educator dedicated to teaching the "Nazi Truth"; special lessons were prepared for high-school students throughout the city.

    >If Day was successful enough to spark imitations in other communities. The US government contacted the organizing committee for details of the event. A smaller-scale invasion was staged in Vancouver, using promotional materials from the Winnipeg campaign.

    Is this a refrigerator in the bathroom?
  • The house is in Germany!

  • Is this a refrigerator in the bathroom?

    I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps it's a deep freezer that is only opened occasionally, and I guess is pretty well sealed as long as it's closed. The kitchen appears to have one of those built-in fridges that matches the cabinets: !

    Whatchu got
  • Futurama Revival to Cover COVID, Bitcoin, NFTs, and More
  • Well, I don't disagree with you about what they did to Clone High, but Futurama's history with cancellations/reboots is pretty unique, and they've gotten pretty good at it.
    When I first watched the one with Susan Boyle/Susan the Boil, I rolled my eyes because that was already old news when the episode came out. But upon rewatch, that episode did give us some great jokes ("Shut up and take my money!") and good satire.
    They also sometimes do classic movie plots or "scary" episodes, and each season has an anthology. I for one am confident this season will be entertaining.
    (also, I love the anthology episodes, sue me lol)

  • In case you missed it
  • First time seeing this, thanks! Most of them are spot on. Kif needs to be squishier!

  • Today I learned that oranges in the USA are allowed to be artificially dyed orange by the FDA and are commonly sold that way to boost eye appeal
  • Torches of Freedom

    In the 1920s a bunch of tobacco salesmen decided that they could make women associate cigarettes with the women's rights movement. Smoking was previously seen as "unladylike", but thanks to a handful of well-placed marketing campaigns, they were able to get women smoking almost overnight. What an accomplishment!

    Personally, I'm of the opinion that marketing/advertising is one of the most insidious problems society has.

    [@worldnews](https://lemmy.world/c/worldnews) Passenger rescued after falling off 10th deck of cruise ship, Coast Guard says
  • That's pretty much my reaction too. This passenger survived against considerable odds. First of all, she basically fell off a ten storey building, and THEN there's water, sharks, the ship's engine, etc. I hope she realizes how fortunate she is.

    Remember that kid a few weeks ago who fell off a very small ship, drifted out of sight of the many witnesses, and was never seen again? Haunting.

  • A drunken wizard offers you $20 million if you let him send you to the world of the last video game you played, and you survive for one year. Do you accept?
  • Absolutely. I was playing Cities: Skylines.

    I would spend that year driving around in my doughnut truck, working at Dino Oil or Healthy Weeds, enjoy my weekends at the parking lot or the bouncy castle, and run to high ground during the next tsunami.

    After winning the cash I'd ask to be transported to the Ark universe, and then I'd spend the rest of my life in a glass mansion, training armies of dinosaurs to do my bidding.
    JK, I'd probably spend the rest of my very short life running naked from a dilophosaur while screaming. Still more fun than reality.
