My kid’s dentist also has toys, and they’re bottom of the fucking barrel knick knacks that break after one use. I’m not saying I expect high quality toys from a pediatric dentist, I just can’t help but notice how rich that motherfucker is and how much plastic waste he’s generating.

I have my great aunt’s Sunbeam waffle iron from the 50s and it still works great. Appliances used to be made to be repairable, and there were appliance repair shops all over the place

Ulysses Grant did quite a bit of work to end slavery

If you’ve kept horses, you know that intestinal parasites are a common problem. Well let me share with you where those parasites are most often picked up…

Lead pipes aren’t inherently leaching lead into your water, as long as the chemistry of the water moving through the pipes is correct. Problems like what happened in Flint happen when the water chemistry is wrong

Sir, this is c/memes

That’s not a good thing to do to your children

Shit, my parents were boomers and raised me on 50s and 60s music. The oldest boomers would’ve been 35 in 1980.

All that said, nothing wrong with listening to music from the past. Most popular classical music was written well over a century ago. I personally love music from the 40s. My son gets an earful representing every decade

Tldr, the survey is based on self report, and more people are reporting that they’re citizens. Because why would you send a survey to the feds telling them you’re undocumented?

Like how people call crane flies “mosquito hawks” but crane flies don’t even have mouths as adults and don’t eat mosquitoes. People don’t realize you can call a crane fly a gollywhopper and be more accurate.

I’m also from the south, and pumpkin bugs and tomato bugs are totally different things. Pumpkin bugs aka squash bugs are Anasa tristis, and tomato bugs are Engytatus modestus. I’ve never once heard anyone call roly polys pumpkin or tomato bugs
