a text exchange, with my rat ocs edited on top of it.
Star, proudly: "Only cause you dot joke he score"
Puff, looking rather freaked out: "Huh?" 
they continue on: "Whenever you send me a really poorly written text and then don't answer forever, I get worried that you were texting and driving and died while sending it, and that I'm going to have to be on a commercial holding a sign that says 'Only cause you dot joke he score' and tearfully say 'My boyfriend died sending me this text. I have no idea what it means.'"

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. The Enterprise D gang is in Ten Forward standing around a beautifully decorated banquet table adorned with exotic flowers and lots of food. Seems like a fancy party is happening, I'm guessing some light chitter chatter is in the background, dishes and flatware tinkling and clanking, maybe some nice soft harpy music, but this is a picture so it's tough to say. Ok, back to the story, so Captain Picard is carving a large round turkey. Bev Crusher, Geordi, Data, and a very very tall Klingon, all in uniform, stand and observe. Closed caption reads, "I shall try some of your burned, replicated bird meat." 🦃

Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck

A scene showing four red bendy buses making up a squarw around a small roundabout. There are cars trapped inside them and long lines on the two visible sides going into the roundabout. Photo was found in Avisa Oslo, a local newspaper, and was sent them by a guy named Endre Helgeland.

I once wrote a shitpost on my old Geocities website about how to iron clothing.

Someone complained in my guestbook how they'd come to my site genuinely wanting to learn how to iron.

@FurryBeta Would be convenient if your router supported Netflow/IPFIX, or even tcpdump come to think of it.

@FurryBeta Apple devices seem to be extremely chatty with DNS requests.
