Considering how Spiderman likes to run, jump, and climb on buildings, shouldn't his real name be Peter Parkour?

@qikipedia And that why the arse is a 'faux cul' point for many people.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the French salt tax was especially harsh which led to an increase in salt smuggling. Women would sometimes smuggle bags of salt in specially constructed ‘faux culs’ or false arses.

@mary_roach Listening to Replaceable You (and loving it). Every time you say “below knee amputation“ I have to consciously think ‘not baloney amputation!’ 🤣

@jhoburgh I haven't listened to A, C, or D. Misplaced Childhood is one of my top three favourite albums of all time.

80s Albums Showdown! Rank these albums from 1-4 in comments! A: I’m Your Man (Leonard Cohen) B: Misplaced Childhood (Marillion) C: Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret (Soft Cell) D: Signing Off (UB40)

@tanja__eder Yes, it's being kind of flakey.

@drhingram @Babygravy9 Is that the 26oz drop or the 40oz drop?

@Babygravy9 The only medication I use is a drop of Laphroaig when I have a cold

Women have the highest rates of polypharmacy—the use of five or more prescription drugs simultaneously—by far. At least 5% of all women aged 18-44 are on five prescription medications at once. This is almost certainly an underestimate of female medication use.

@qikipedia We're living in dark times.

As a result of climate change, Earth’s oceans are getting darker.

@qikipedia Time to retune the bass drum.

It's been discovered that a specialised set of neurons in the clitoris and penis fire in response to vibrations between 40–80 hertz. The scientific discovery was only made in 2024, but sex toys have been vibrating at this frequency for decades.

@tanja__eder @notanastronomer I, on the other hand, am often inconvenienced, annoyed, frustrated, and/or pissed off by gravity.

Lyra sees no reason that opening the ottoman bed means she should move.

@LOLrakshak Any later and they fall asleep in front of the TV

Trump has threatened that "An entire civilization will die tonight". The deadline is 8 PM Eastern time. What is with fascists and their fascination for 8 PM?

@qikipedia Waiting for someone to make a “load of crepe “ joke.

Physicists have created a formula for the amount of times you can fold a crepe.

@smileitsfree44 AI can bowl?

***Redo Went bowling for a couple hours today with my son and his girlfriend. The boy and ai tied the first game and I kicked his butt in the second game!! We had a blast #familytime

@qikipedia I have no clue what that would feel like.

Word of the Day: PRONOIA - the belief that the universe and the people around you are secretly conspiring to help you.

In the Swiss village of Grimentz, there it was traditional to keep a cheese to be served at your funeral. The goal was to live long enough that the cheese needed cutting with an axe when it was served.

@qikipedia Must have caused quite a kerfuffle

In 2007, the Wikipedia entry on rabbits falsely claimed that ‘A group of rabbits or hares are often called a ‘fluffle’ in parts of Northern Canada.’ Although the line was quickly deleted, it has since become widely used.

@tanja__eder @qikipedia Some men can be very patient

A 2009 study found that the average length of time a woman can keep a secret is 47 hours and 15 minutes.

@tanja__eder @qikipedia Because you’re weird?

In 1600, one of Shakespeare’s acting troupe, Will Kemp, quit the company to Morris-dance from London to Norwich. It took him 23 days.

@drhingram Is that where Liz Truss is working now?

If I want to watch a wet lettuce I’ll pop down my local Asda

@TownAndField @WUTangKids @AtheistSpinster So ... yes, that's exactly what he'll do.

@WUTangKids @AtheistSpinster If our president were stupid , gullible, and a dementia patient, he’d probably think that’s a great plan.

The dumbest people and he’s dead serious
