@JakeCan72 I think those billboard signs telling you to u-turn because there is one over 700 miles in the opposite direction counts as advertising.

People started driving hours for a gas station. Buc-ee’s is now pushing into seven new states. No advertising. People kept showing up. Then the locations followed. The Texas chain built its reputation on one thing — the standard never slipped. Staff that acted like the job mattered to them. Someone still looked up when you walked in. Americans detoured for it. People didn’t drive an hour for gas. They drove because the place still felt normal. The bathrooms were clean at 2 a.m. and somebody actually looked you in the eye when you paid. Seven states didn’t come from a marketing department. People told their friends. That was enough. They kept the bathrooms clean and built an empire. The standard never moved. What’s the last place near you that still feels normal?

@22jenson09 Maybe the 50k wandering tourists will find Jimmy Hoffa en route to the stadium.

Amazing to be informed by local residents that the concept of walking to a stadium from a train station is so alien that it is in fact illegal

@quinncoherent Are you sure that’s not a Cheesecake Factory?

@SouthDallasFood @collinsluke47 @tacobell There is more innovation coming out of Taco Bell than Apple these days.

BREAKING: Taco Bell just launched an EDIBLE sauce packet omfg😩

@RL9631 Is this where one go where one day, your friend stops wanting to be friends with you anymore so he could write music? He’d rather cut off his fingers than have another drink with you at the pub? 🤔

Did you know that Ireland 🇮🇪 has launched a unique scheme to revive its remote, underpopulated islands by offering people up to $90,000 to move there and start a new life. The program is a part of the government's "Our Living Islands" initiative, aims to boost the population and economy of more than 20 small offshore islands, many of which have fewer than 100 residents and limited infrastructure. Would you like to live in Ireland?

@aakashgupta My favorite is nobody liked the new 10 day work week for their short lived new calendar.

This is a fun history lesson that takes me back. In 1795, French revolutionaries were building the metric system from scratch. They needed a prefix for “thousand” and went to Ancient Greek. The Greek word is χίλιοι (khílioi). The correct prefix should have been “chili.” Problem: in French, “chi” sounds like the start of “chier,” which means “to shit.” The scientists couldn’t have every unit of weight in the new system start with a word that sounds like a bathroom verb. So they swapped it to “kilo.” Technically incorrect Greek. But it kept the world’s measurement system dignified. Before this, France had 700+ different units of measurement. A “league” in one province was almost twice the distance of a “league” in another. Total chaos. The Revolution gave scientists the mandate to replace all of it with one clean decimal system. Greek roots for the big prefixes (kilo, hecto, deka). Latin for the small ones (milli, centi, deci). The whole thing became law on April 7, 1795. Then it took another 45 years of Napoleon banning it, people ignoring it, and political upheaval before France actually committed to using it. 230 years later, that “K” from a mispronounced Greek word, filtered through French revolutionary politics, now sits on every social media platform, salary negotiation, and bank statement on earth. The entire abbreviation you use every day exists because French scientists in 1795 refused to say “shit” every time they weighed something.

@foodbeast They taste like chemical now. Not the same as what we grew up with.

M&M’s just launched a bakery collection with three new flavors... but only one will come back this fall. Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll Cherry Chocolate Cupcake Lemon Meringue Pie Who are you voting for?

@Complex Does it rot on a normal food timeline?

McDonald’s is bringing its new Big Arch Burger to the U.S. starting March 3 for a limited time. The company says it is the biggest burger it has ever made. The sandwich includes two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of white cheddar cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and a new Big Arch sauce on a bun topped with sesame and poppy seeds.

@javedaslamsays This is so healing.

HBO gave us the ending they wanted. Fans never accepted it. Now Seedance 2.0 used AI to create the ending we deserved. Say what you will about AI, but this is what it's capable of. #GameofThrones

@4thOfJuly365 Shrinkflation has hit Entenmann’s. My donuts are smaller now 😩

I thought it was only me 😂

@CrankyFed But the confessional Hamilton would have given when he got caught (again)… 🔥🫖

George Washington would not have been in the Epstein files unless others mentioned him Franklin and Hamilton both would have gone to the island. Jefferson would correspond with him, but have the good sense not to visit him Adams would have had nothing to do with him

@folaoftech @MikeJudge isn’t getting enough credit as the modern prophet that he is between this and Idiocracy becoming documentaries

Silicon Valley predicted the future before the future arrived🥹🤣

@NightSkyNow @TomCampbell_MBT would like to have a word...

🚨 A neurotechnology breakthrough may have just turned science fiction into reality. A Silicon Valley startup called REMspace claims to have achieved the first successful communication between two people during a lucid dream — an unprecedented step in the study of consciousness and sleep. Using EEG monitors, eye-tracking sensors, and a custom-coded dream language named “Remmyo,” researchers reportedly managed to transmit a single word from one dreamer to another — all while both remained asleep and lucid. The experiment represents a one-way exchange but demonstrates that structured messages could, in theory, travel between two dreaming minds. CEO Michael Raduga says this is “just the beginning,” envisioning a future where dream-to-dream communication becomes a new frontier of neurotechnology. If expanded, this could revolutionize how we study memory, creativity, trauma therapy, and even human connection in subconscious states. Reference: Raduga, M., Shashkov, A., & Vanin, A. (2024).

@engineers_feed I can’t believe people traded in this for AIM 😔

Are you this old? Ah-oh!

@HustleBitch_ My doctor friend says we need a class action suit against insurance companies for practicing medicine without license

🚨 THIS IS HOW INSURANCE SCAMS PATIENTS - A DENTIST RECORDED THE PROOF A licensed American dentist records herself on the phone with an insurance company after a medically necessary dental claim for her patient was denied three times - each time for a different reason that didn’t match the policy. The insurer claimed the procedure needed pre-authorization. Problem: the plan does not require pre-authorization for root canals. The patient had facial swelling, severe pain, and full documentation submitted - X-rays, photos, narratives - all of which the insurance rep confirms they received. From there, the logic collapses: • Root canal denied → crown denied • Crown only covered if a root canal was done • Root canal was done • Emergency only counts if the patient goes to the ER for a dental issue Then the dentist asks who denied the claim. No full name. No license number. No NPI. Just a first name tied to a medical decision. After calmly pushing back on camera, the insurance company suddenly approves the claim. No new documents. No missing info. No explanation. Nothing changed - except they realized she wasn’t giving up. Has insurance ever denied something you clearly needed - and did you fight it, or just give up?

@flowidealism He could have shown his resolve more by joining a cult instead and then we’d see if he stays committed due to the pressures to stay or flees to the protection of an academic bubble.

A friend reviewing Harvard applications remembered one student clearly: he had dropped out of high school, joined a Buddhist monastery for a year, then finished school. Great academics, yes. But among hundreds of applications, that's the one she remembered and recommended. When you're reading through piles of identical resumes—4.0, 1550, student council, community service—you notice the ones that are different. A purpose-driven life produces a distinctive application. The grind produces indistinguishable ones.

Shrinkflation has hit my beloved Entenmann’s Rich Frosted donuts. They are smaller now! This is scandalous.

@frozenaesthetic @COLONIZER_EX One of my favorite obscure historical trivia. Like how did epic world events like the Opium Wars, rise of Hitler, Japanese invasion of China, and Pearl Harbor all descend into a tiny poor district of Shanghai and wreck havoc to its social pecking order like a game of Jenga?

@COLONIZER_EX Thousands of Jewish refugees fled to Shanghai and they have a museum for it over there, so they're aware of it Chinese officials visit Holocaust memorials Funny enough though their government doesn't officially recognise Judaism

Chinese lore is insane, there will be some shit called "the shanghai misunderstanding" and it'll have 53 million casualties

@LORWEN108 I like that he also studied/experienced occult phenomena and ghost hauntings, and then gave his scholarly psychological interpretation of the events. Worked with Nobel winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli too to discuss quantum mechanics. The guy was not afraid to explore all.

First, understand who Jung was: • Medical doctor + psychiatrist • Founder of analytical psychology • Broke with Freud at the height of his career • Studied myth, religion, alchemy, and dreams • Treated world leaders, artists, and thinkers But his most radical work wasn’t in books. It was in how he taught his children to live.

The most influential psychologist of the 20th century wrote private letters to his children. They weren’t about therapy. They were about how to survive being human without losing your soul. Here are 9 principles Carl Jung QUIETLY taught his children—that most people never hear about: 🧵
