Playing Mario Kart Free Roam and I'm hearing 3 songs from Super Mario Galaxy back to back (Gusty Garden, Buoy Base and Enter Bowser Jr.), my heart is melting

"I'm against drugs" is like the stupidest statement ever. Like what do you even mean by "drugs" in this context? Where do you draw the line?

And then watch the people proclaiming these things ingest alcohol, one of the most toxic, addicting and dangerous drugs we have, on a weekly basis

If Nintendo Switch 2 games are already on the eShop but just can't be installed on the Switch 1, doesn't that mean that DK bananza and MK World are technically already out and released, just their system is not? Like you can buy the games, you just can't install them anywhere

I'm a vegetarian, but through @kurzgesagt.org's newest video (and some follow up research), i found out that mussels, and bivalves in general, are pretty good for the environment. They also do not have a brain, so they do not suffer in any traditional way. So I'm making an exception from now on

I'm gonna say it: A major is a fucking annoying key to play piano in

If God's design is so perfect then why do I have to pee again immediately after leaving the toilet?

How many open tabs do you have?

"You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" is so stupid for a Muse song, but it's so funny lol

(Do appreciate the Bach reference at the end tho)

I have a feed on for The Hague, because i live there, but apparently "taking someone to the Hague" is a metaphor for taking someone to the ICC or the ICJ, which is fair enough, but I wanted news about my city, not news about the Gaza genocide

In a few years, i will be older than the age gap between me and my parents, and that feels weird because when that has happened, there will be a past period in which my parents had less life experience, memories and wisdom than me

In Nebula, @nilered.bsky.social's Red and Blue videos are grouped so I legit thought he was going to chemically engineer the flavour of coffee in some crazy way, but sadly it was just a Nileblue video

As a car free public transport enthusiast that doesn't even have a driver's license, I love that YouTube keeps giving me car ads. Fuck McDonald's or KFC or whatever crypto platform I have to use, just keep showing me cool cars I'm never going to buy!

Wonderful Christmastime must be the most uninspired song by the same guy who wrote "Yesterday" and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

At least John's has the children's choir

The Polar Express is a bit like Shrek where at first watch you look at the weird animation and characters and think "what am i even watching" but on later rewatches you start to love the story and the wacky scenes and realise why it's a classic

It's weird realising that 10, 100, 100000 are not special numbers by any means. They're as much an integer as 568 and as rational as 87.96. They're not prime, they don't do anything remarkable. They're just nice and round because we made them that way

I think taking your partner everywhere uninvited should be called "Yoko Onoing"

Reminder that objective morality does not exist

If you believe in God, then morality is set by his divine opinion, that sadly still doesn't make it objective

I dont think people realise that Time chooses the most newsworthy person op the year, not a person that Time specifically likes. Many horrible people have become person of the year, that doesnt say so much about Time as it says about the state of the world in general
