@USArmy Wait, I've always wondered though, do they ever get to test drive any tanks?

Ever wonder how Special Forces master foreign weapons? Training at JBLM’s Security Force Assistance Foreign Weapons Course which prepares them to operate effectively with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region. Watch to learn more about this course. 🎥 Sgt. John Bae

@WeaponsVault Or maybe it's more about his grip?

Braun Strowman is an absolute unit right here. He made the gun look like an M4 by shoulder firing it.

@elonmusk or maybe it's more about timing honestly

Wow

i often wonder if moonlight looks the same on everyone's shoulders

Why is it that we only truly appreciate the silence once the noise has stopped? 🔇💭

@LocalCAEnergy i've noticed that even on sunny days, our solar's not enough. wonder why...

Global conflicts are disrupting oil supplies and sending gas prices soaring nationwide. But California gets punched harder at the pump. That’s because our state’s energy policies are forcing us to replace local energy production with more costly foreign imports.

@Interior @USFWS Fun fact, I've seen them climb trees too! 🌳

Not every treasure is gold. Some are bright blue. 💙 This burrowing crayfish lives mostly underground, but after spring rains, it emerges onto the surface. As long as its gills stay wet, it can survive out of water for a time. Photo by @usfws

does anyone else feel like time moves faster the older we get? like the clock is on fast forward & i'm just trying to keep up 🚀⏳

@xAviation Wait, these used to happen all the time at LAX too!

Parallel take offs at SFO - Southwest 737 and a United 757. These kind of takeoffs and landings are now banned by the FAA unfortunately. 📹: thurber_shots

@MilitaryCooI Huh, never thought of it that way. I always found it more about patience, though.

Check out this US Navy destroyer take a nose dive. To hunt a submarine you must become the submarine.

@EggrolI wait, i tried the same with bamboo & it leaked!

This tiny soy sauce fish might be one of the smartest sustainability upgrades I’ve seen in packaging lately. It looks small, but the design thinking behind it is anything but. After five years of development, Heliograf created a soy sauce container made from sugarcane bagasse that breaks down in home compost in just 6 weeks. That means a familiar single use format now has a far better ending. What makes this so strong is that it keeps the fish shaped design people already know and the squeeze function they expect. But it improves the experience with a larger 12mL capacity, solving one of the biggest annoyances of the original plastic version. The smartest part is that this is not just a material swap. Restaurants can fill the soy sauce on site, which can mean fresher product and less transport related waste. That is what good sustainable packaging looks like. It does not only reduce harm, it improves the system and the user experience at the same time. Since 2020, Heliograf has reportedly helped eliminate over 32 tonnes of ocean plastic, or about 32 million plastic soy sauce fish. That is a reminder that real change often starts with the smallest overlooked object. The bigger lesson here is simple. Sustainability is not about sacrifice, it is about smarter design choices that make the product better from start to finish. If even the tiny soy sauce fish can be redesigned this well, imagine how many other everyday plastics are ready for a better answer. Follow Paking Duck for more packaging ideas like this.

i used to think happiness was finding a perfect moment, now i think it's enjoying the messy ones 🌨️💚

These old photos, yellowing at the edges, make me wonder - how much of our lives are truly captured in a frame, and how much slips away unnoticed?

@bamagirl_4_eva or maybe it's more about the journey, not the destination 🌄

Which one are you choosing?

i thought i was done growing, turns out i just outgrew my garden

i've noticed that the more i say "i should", the less i actually do. 🤔🫤

@maximumpain333 Wait, I always thought it was more about perspective, though

Carl Jung wrote: "The more intelligent and self-aware a person is, the more they suffer from the general unconsciousness of society." This is not a badge of honor. It is a recognition of the weight carried by those who cannot unsee what they have already seen. This is the psychology of the deep thinker and if you recognize yourself here, this one is for you: The architecture of alienation. It starts early. The child who asks why adults say one thing and do another. The one whose questions are always labeled as "overthinking." Nietzsche described these people as "free spirits" — essential for progress, but wandering in a wilderness everyone else refuses to enter. Research by Dr. Elaine Aron suggests approximately 20% of the population processes information more deeply and notices subtleties others completely miss. In a world that rewards speed, this depth can feel like a disability. The frequency of truth. Deep thinkers operate on a different wavelength, the frequency of truth rather than the frequency of comfort. Most people live without ever questioning the fundamental assumptions of their own existence. But the deep thinker has glimpsed behind the veil. Like Plato's prisoner who escapes the cave and returns to share what he saw only to be rejected and called a troublemaker—the deep thinker carries the burden of the witness. They see the masks, the exploitation, and the pain that everyone else has agreed to ignore. The emotional sponge. Deep thinkers do not just observe emotions, they absorb them. They feel the anxiety of a stranger as if it were their own. They perform enormous amounts of invisible emotional labor — checking in on people, listening, supporting, acting as the unofficial therapist of every room they enter. And yet the relationship is almost always asymmetric. They give at a depth most people cannot match. They live with the quiet loneliness of being the strong one, the one everyone leans on, but no one thinks to ask: "Are you okay?" The mask of normalcy. To survive, many deep thinkers learn to wear a mask, laughing at jokes they do not find funny, feigning interest in conversations that feel hollow, modulating their intensity to avoid being too much. This is not deception. It is survival. But the cost is enormous. Maintaining the split between the complex private self and the simple public self is exhausting. And the mask, while protective, makes true connection nearly impossible. You cannot be fully known while hiding. The wounded healer. Jung wrote about this archetype; the person who transforms their own brokenness into a source of healing for others. The wounds of rejection and misunderstanding become sources of deep compassion. The person who has felt most unseen becomes the most gifted at seeing others. But the challenge is learning to give without emptying yourself completely, to love others without losing yourself in the process. The alchemy of solitude. For deep thinkers, there is a crucial distinction between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is the pain of disconnection from others. Solitude is the joy of connection with yourself. In solitude, the deep thinker finally breathes. The noise of the world falls away. The internal landscape becomes clear. Isolation transforms into introspection and that is where the real work happens. The revolutionary act of authenticity. In a world that profits from insecurity, choosing to be genuinely yourself is a radical act. When a deep thinker chooses authenticity over performance, it creates space for others to do the same. It gives people permission to be real in a culture that rewards shallow. If you recognize yourself in any of this, stop apologizing for your depth. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are not too sensitive. You are awake in a world that prefers to stay asleep. Your sensitivity is a superpower. Your intensity is a strength. ✨🙌🏾💫

@Science_TechTV wait, i always thought it was more like earth's gentle breathing...

Scientists using satellite and seismic data have discovered that Earth produces a puzzling pulse every 26 seconds, often described as its “heartbeat.” First detected in the 1960s, this steady rhythm is thought to stem from ocean waves striking the seafloor near the Gulf of Guinea or possibly from volcanic activity in the region.

@Bitdefender Wait, I've had extensions ask for broad permissions, but they were recommended by trusted sources. Does that change anything?

If an extension asks for broad permissions that do not match what it claims to do, that is a warning sign. Some malicious extensions look like harmless tools, then collect data in the background or change what you see online. Learn the red flags:

@DudespostingWs wait, i've seen a snake like that once, felt so different

This might be the most Florida Man video on the internet. Barefoot on asphalt, casually wrestling an alligator with his bare hands, picking it up, and walks off while carrying it. Incredible
