@kezia_noble Ridiculous take

They say: “It’s cheaper to import oil than to drill.” Short term, maybe. Long term? Risky. The North Sea means more jobs, and gives the United Kingdom control, revenue, and protection from shocks 🇬🇧 Cheap isn’t always smart.

@MoundLore We have these all over the place in Stoke-on-Trent, UK.

If you’re from Appalachia, you already know this color. That orange creek under a backroad bridge. The one that looks like rust bleeding through the water. Most people chalk it up to runoff. Clay. Just how the land looks… but grandfather told me it’s not. A lot of that traces back to old coal seams… places where the ground was cut open and rock that had been sealed for millions of years got exposed. That rock carries pyrite. Iron and sulfur locked together. Once it hits air and rain, it starts a chain reaction. Forms acid. That acid pulls iron out of the surrounding stone and carries it into the water. When it meets oxygen, it drops out and coats everything that deep orange. That color isn’t sitting on top. It’s forming in real time. You’ll see it across parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio… in cuts along the road, in small tributaries, in creeks that don’t look like much until you slow down. Some of those mines shut down generations ago. But water still moves through them. So the reaction never really stops. In the worst stretches, the water turns acidic enough to strip out most fish and insects. Other places hold on at the edges… life working around it, not with it. There are fixes now. Lime dosing to neutralize the acid. Constructed wetlands that settle the iron out. Some streams have come back. A lot still run like that. It’s easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking at. But once you do, you start seeing it everywhere. Not just a color. A record of what was opened and what never fully closed.

@memechaotic youareshort. They forgot the 0 for spaces!

Me too.

@yungdementiax @BOURNYBOY76 @GBNEWS Nonsense, this has always been a common thing but I expect it's super common today. Wind your neck in a bit.

@BOURNYBOY76 @GBNEWS

Yes @GBNEWS Young people do lack basic skills they haven't even got basic maths 🤦‍♂️ I've just purchased a bottle of wine for £7.50 He said Cash or card I said, " Cash, please he's like great I need some change 👍🏻 So I'm counting away I've got just over £7 quid in change so I scrap that and give him a £10 note and a 50p The hesitant look of confusion and worry on his face I can't describe I didn't know if he was going to pull out a calculator first or phone his dad. He tried to give me the 50p back so he could give me £2.50, which the till told him to I'm like mate it's £3 quid he couldn't grasp it unbelievable 🤦‍♂️

@MuseumCommodore These things were easy

POV: You thought Ghosts 'n Goblins on the Commodore 64 was tough. Nah. The real boss level was this TOMY Waterful Ring Toss back in the 70s and 80s. Master its chaotic water physics and random ring behavior, and you felt like you could achieve anything. I still remember the first time I finally completed it. My mum and grandmother had already walked away bored from watching me try over and over. I carefully carried it to the kitchen to show them... only for a few rings to fall off on the way. Devastated. 😂 This little TOMY toy trained a whole generation of gamers without even knowing it. Respect to Tomy for the ultimate stealth C64 bootcamp. 💦🛟🕹️

The tacometer. Love it.

@atrupar He clearly misspoke saying "Ireland" instead of "the island" and then repeated himself using the correct term he originally meant in the way he does because he never actually admits a mistake. Come on, this kind of shit makes you lose credibility.

Trump: "They shot the now-famous Ireland--- the island that the UK was very afraid to give us."

@DdraigTatws @Parkersafc 😂😂😂😂😂😂 OK

@Parkersafc Sure thing buddy. youtube.com/shorts/QJXGTCy…

Any male professional keeper, sees the shot coming. Pops home makes a cuppa, drops the kids off at school, does the big shop at the Asdas, heads back and catches it.

Good morning, Jonathan Pie. How very fucking revealing. You, the smug, privately educated, left-wing satire merchant, now clutch your pearls and sneer that Nigel Farage’s dramatic stage entrance with “aura” must be a parody, because God forbid a politician actually connects with the British public instead of performing your tired, sneering BBC-approved routine. One does so admire a man who can watch thousands of ordinary Brits cheering a leader who actually speaks their language and still call it ridiculous. While you sit in your comfortable London bubble delivering scripted “outrage” for clicks, Farage walks through fire and pyrotechnics because the people actually want him there. That’s not aura, Jonathan, that’s real momentum. Something your dying brand of smug, establishment leftism will never understand. You’re not edgy satire, Pie. You’re just another out-of-touch, champagne-left cunt who mocks the very populism that threatens your cosy little world. Keep laughing at the “parody” while the country wakes up. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@celtic_jaime Christmas 1988. I was 7. I remember the dream I had on Christmas Eve thinking I'd be waving the magic wand around at school and doing all sorts of cool things with it. Never been more disappointed with anything in my life. That was the start and end of my magic career. Gutted.

I had this set did anyone else 🪄 ✨

@CuriosityonX Can we ever know (until we die maybe)

If Big Bang start the Universe, what existed before the big bang?

@learning_yohei Actually it's pronounced war-teh

Is it true that Americans and Brits argue over how to pronounce “water”? 🇺🇸🇬🇧😳

@GigWorthy01 @SaraForTexLege 99% like the good old days

@SaraForTexLege Fine. How much? 10%? 25%? 50%? 99%? Don’t be wimpy. Don’t just say “Tax the rich.” Show some backbone. Pick an income level and then what percentage of that income should be taxed at and go on record.

Me: Tax the rich Q: But what about all the waste, fraud and abuse? Me: investigate and prosecute waste, fraud and abuse AND tax the rich. Q: But the rich create jobs Me: Great. So they can enjoy the profits created from that labor AND pay taxes on that profit. Q: It will just make them leave America. Me: There is no tax haven in the world like the American tax haven. No they won’t. Q: Our national debt is because spending is out of control! Me: It is, but that is also something that rich people have trained you to say so that you’ll argue that they shouldn’t be taxed. Create Medicare for all ($600 billion in savings), cut the military budget in half ($500 billion). There’s a trillion right there. AND tax the rich. Q: …. Me: Exactly. Tax the rich.

@jmbfn @hound_al @oaksandlions Ah, sorry!

@CyrixInstead @hound_al @oaksandlions Was an attempt at humour 👍🏻

Why do we say “let the cat out of the bag” when a secret is revealed? Back in medieval markets, shady sellers swapped pricey piglets for worthless cats in sacks. Buyers only discovered the scam when they got home and literally "let the cat out of the bag"! A simple phrase that has lasted for centuries. Follow @oaksandlions for more posts like this every day.

@hound_al @oaksandlions Why would a cat be involved in flogging? 🤔

@JohnCleese Yoga is not a religion John

This is wrong and should not be happening, unless all the other religions are being explored in the same way

@SandyofCthulhu It has to be true though Sandy... youtu.be/5-iZT3O2TKE?t=…

In Physics, I can invent any idea which isn't falsifiable and claim I've made a huge contribution to science. "I hereby say my observations indicate that the Dark Matter which makes up 90% of our universe is, in fact, made of chocolate cake. Prove me wrong."

@ColeFusionHQ 'Skidders' for a bloke who tucked his shirt into his trousers after a shit but also tucked it into his pants, and the shirt came out of his trousers later in the day and someone noticed. He'd had the nickname for over 15 years and it was just who he was now.

British nicknames are an unregulated industry. a 5'6 tradesman called Anthony is professionally known as Shetland Tony. a man who lost an eye is called Keth. a quiet man wore a yellow jumper once and became Mumblebee. what's the best nickname you've ever heard

@lporiginalg @DefiSummer2020 @9mmsmg Scrabble is about knowing words, not how to use them

@DefiSummer2020 @9mmsmg I am ethnically English as was my grandmother who's parents both came to Canada from England and that's how she said it. My grandma never scored less than 300 in a game of Scrabble.

When someone says "I could care less" when they mean to say "couldn't," I become irrationally angry.
