    I remember an official-looking plaque on the wall outside of a strip mall gym that said:

    “100 years ago today, on this spot, nothing happened.”

      Don’t worry, I’ve been training my whole life for this by drinking some dihydrogen monoxide every day.

        If you’ve been up in the dose every day you could probably bathe in the stuff now.

    Love it. Reminds me of something I regret not doing: the parish that sponsored me through ordination was this beautiful gothic church and it had plaques everywhere and for everything. My personal favorite was the one for the air-conditioning (random plaque on a wall that said “The air conditioning of this church was given to the glory of God by [name I can’t remember] in the year of our Lord [date I can’t remember]”). So what I wanted to do was make a small plaque that said “This piece of gum was placed here to the glory of God…” and stick it underneath a pew near a random bit of gum and just never say anything, treating it like an Easter egg for either some curious child climbing under the pews or for when they have to restore the pews at some point.

    Are these actually going to be put out in Calgary? I have a friend there and I’m totally going to ask them to keep an eye out if yes

        I never saw a point in saving funny pictures, just like I never take pictures of fireworks.

        But now all of my reaction gif links don’t work any more, and when I search for memes I saw a decade ago Google has no idea what I’m talking about and shows me TikToks instead. There was a Fun Facts video where the joke was something like “If you dropped India directly on top of Utah, at least three people would die.” Needed it the other day and spent over an hour unsuccessfully looking for it.

        So, I guess I was wrong.

          Yeah… that’s why I started saving stuff to be honest. That and the ADHD hoarding. Now I’ve got like 1TB of memes and funny videos.
