Name the most unnecessary sex scene in a movie or series? I’ll start:

@lady_valor_07 1975

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

@Matt_Pinner A snake.

What do you see in this picture?

@alphafox Looks like a tool bit.

I found this outside my sons daycare this morning. This is what its like living in the inner city, think of the children.

@NalinisKitchen Locating the home keys without having to look at the keyboard.

I always wonder what these lines are for.

@NicHulscher In an already overpopulated world, how is that a bad thing?

We now have clear evidence that the COVID-19 mRNA shots have crippled the reproductive capacity of humanity. In animal models, they destroy >60% of women’s finite egg supply. In human data (n=1.3M), vaccinated women have ~33% fewer successful pregnancies than unvaccinated.

@loveDoges111 I am still looking for the horse too.

They were filming a wild horse when suddenly a woman appeared and didn't see the wild horse.

@Iam_cornucopia @AMAZlNGNATURE Because they are on to us.

@AMAZlNGNATURE ...but why do they avoid humans???

@AMAZlNGNATURE Smart animal.

@lhallwriter 15

I got 3 points How about you?

@elonmusk Basically a Wild West country.

💯

@BuckRight Lots of problems.

Does anyone else see a problem here?

@AMAZlNGNATURE Gandalf.

If you had him what would you name him?

@that_1 Most women do retain a tummy after giving birth. Takes a while before the muscles and skin shrink. Women’s tummies aren’t made of elastic.

Sussex Markle forgot to take the moonbump off after "giving birth"

@nocontextmemes Should have turned the car and parked in the middle before running back to safety.

Going forward not an option?

@MAGAgirlEmily Hands look really odd, AI?

Take a look at the streets of New York City during the 1930s. What do you notice?

@real_lord_miles And going to live as immigrants in another country. The irony…

I’m in the airport pub (Wetherspoons) and came across an elderly couple. We started talking and they said they’re leaving England due to the amount of foreigners. I said same. There was a glint of sadness in their eyes We had a very productive conversation. They told me they sold their property portfolio because foreigners kept not paying rent They both had branded aluminum hand luggage worth $3k. Millionaires leaving the UK
