@sandmansanch711 @Scott_Maxwell @Annette_Taddeo You're right. My house did too but it only destroyed a thousand square feet and was built over 50 years ago

@cmlebugg @Scott_Maxwell @Annette_Taddeo As opposed to your house, which conveniently didn’t destroy some animal’s habitat

A tech entrepreneur who recently moved to Florida got upset when he ran into obstacles while trying to build a house that could impact the habitat of Florida's endangered scrub-jay. So now he's suing to strip the bird of its federal protection. orlandosentinel.com/2026/04/01/flo…

@sdclight @VisionaryVoid I came here to say the same thing

@VisionaryVoid If he was Uruguayan and survived a sinking in Montevideo, both in South America, how did he board a ship in France for his next voyage? He didn’t take an airplane or a train. Buddy sailed again before the Titanic, still feel for him though.

The Man Who Feared the Sea for 41 Years, Then Boarded the Titanic. In December 1871, a young Uruguayan named Ramón Artagaveytia was aboard the steamship America when it caught fire and sank near Montevideo. Of the hundreds on board, only 65 survived. Ramón was one of them. He was pulled from the water surrounded by burning wreckage and screaming passengers. He was 31 years old. The experience shattered him. For the next four decades, Artagaveytia refused to board a ship. He suffered what we would now recognize as severe PTSD, chronic nightmares, insomnia, and a paralyzing fear of the ocean. In a letter to his cousin dated February 9, 1912, he wrote: “The sinking of the America was terrible! Nightmares keep tormenting me. Even in the most quiet trips, I wake up in the middle of the night with terrible nightmares and always hearing the same fateful word: Fire!” That same letter carried a note of cautious optimism. At 71 years old, Artagaveytia had finally decided to conquer his fear. He would cross the Atlantic one more time, aboard a brand-new ship so advanced it was being called unsinkable. He boarded at Cherbourg on April 10, 1912. The ship was the RMS Titanic. Four days later, it struck an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic. Artagaveytia’s body was recovered from the ocean by the cable ship Mackay-Bennett weeks later. He had survived one maritime disaster only to spend 41 years haunted by it, and then die in the most famous one in history. Sometimes the thing you finally stop running from is the thing that was waiting for you all along.

@4HumanUnity @Itsgoin2Balrite Why can't anybody admit it was voter fraud?

Historians will ask how a convicted felon who filed for bankruptcy 6 times was elected twice. Actually, they fucking won’t. The answer is simple: racism, fear, and a media machine making billions, like Fox "News" (after a $787.5M payout for lying) and right-wing pundits pushing replacement theory.

@ScottKumka My observations are a staged photo taken early in the morning before the park opened

Some of my observations from this Flowers really brighten up Fantasyland There are only 6 children to 21 adults There is only 1 stroller and it's small.

@Abiola8Lekan @zjp3016 @academic_la @_ZachFoster I quit reading fiction years ago

@cmlebugg @zjp3016 @academic_la @_ZachFoster Due to the corruption of the earlier revelations, Allah revealed the story of Adam again in the Quran for us to have a proper understanding of our origins. I would advise you to download the Quran and read it for yourself before you make a definite conclusion..

Here is why the Passover story of Egyptian Exodus is completely made up. Not only is there no evidence for it, but it is chronologically impossible. Not on the scale mentioned in the bible or on any scale at all: 1) Decades of intensive archaeological surveys in the Sinai Peninsula have failed to uncover any remains, such as pottery, encampments, or human waste, that would indicate a population of over two million people spent 40 years wandering the desert. Not one piece of pottery, one hearth, or one Hebrew inscription from that era has been found in the Sinai. 2) Ancient Egypt was a highly literate society with meticulous administrative records. Despite this, no Egyptian text from the Bronze Age mentions a mass slave revolt, the devastating plagues, or the loss of an entire army in the sea. 3) Modern archaeology suggests that the ancient Israelites were actually indigenous to Canaan. They appear to have emerged from local Canaanite populations during the Bronze Age collapse, rather than arriving as a conquering force from outside. 4) The biblical figure of 603,550 men (totaling roughly 2.5 million people including families) is logistically impossible for the time. A line of that many people, walking eight abreast, would have been hundreds of miles long, meaning the front would reach the destination while the back was still in Egypt. 5) The Book of Exodus mentions places like the city of Rameses and the land of Goshen, as well as the use of camels, which were not in existence or common at the time the events were supposed to have occurred. This suggests the story was written centuries later. Archaeology shows that at the time the conquest was supposed to happen, Jericho had no walls and was either a tiny village or completely uninhabited. 6) If 2.5 million people entered a land from Egypt, you would expect to see a sudden, massive shift in technology, diet, or burial customs. Instead, we see a slow, internal evolution. The people who became "Israelites" were likely local Canaanite farmers and nomadic herders who moved into the highlands to escape the collapse of the coastal city-states. 7) The Exodus is said to have took place well before there is evidence of Israelites existing. The bible has it at 1446 BCE. The first mention of Israelites is in 1208 by the Pharaoh Merneptah. He mentions them as a foreign people with no ties to Egypt. 8) The biggest hole in the story is that during the 13th century BCE (the time of Ramesses II), Canaan was an Egyptian province. Egypt had forts, tax collectors, and governors all over the "Promised Land."If the Israelites fled Egypt to go to Canaan, they were essentially "fleeing Egypt to go to Egypt." 9) The story appears to have been made up during the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE. They needed a story to give them hope: a story where their God defeats a superpower Egypt) and leads them back to their homeland. By creating a shared "escape" story, they turned a collection of local Canaanite tribes into a single, unified nation. So this is a beautiful story, but a complete myth. Its greatest value is that it has inspired many to pursue freedom, most famously African Americans who identified deeply with the story.

@Abiola8Lekan @zjp3016 @academic_la @_ZachFoster So Allah couldn't even get the story that was written down already right when he copied it

@zjp3016 @cmlebugg @academic_la @_ZachFoster Allah relates in the Quran, the events that occurred at the time of the creation of Adam, how the angels were commanded to prostrate to Adam, and the devil refused. That happened at the beginning of the story of mankind, way earlier than the exodus but revealed regardless..

@Abiola8Lekan @academic_la @_ZachFoster That was written by man and copied and edited over and over by men.

@cmlebugg @academic_la @_ZachFoster It doesn't matter how long after it happened because Allah is and will always be a witness to anything that happens in the universe and He related the events in His final revelation, the Quran..

@truthindanger @mikjcal That was very talented. How you sneaked your misogyny into that post

@mikjcal I remember when some female union retard brought a bunch of American blue collar workers out to Australia 🇦🇺 to promote the socialist agenda re work choices . Backfired badly as all the yanks wanted to stay when they learned how great it was compared to the states.

I’m actually really surprised to learn that for the United States that bangs on so much about Christianity that Good Friday and Easter Monday are not federally mandated public holidays for the whole country 🤔 Here in Australia the whole country gets a 4 day long weekend, and those who have to work get paid penalty rates for it.

@UncleWalt1971 Thank you for explaining why I have no memory of those for my childhood. They didn't exist

In 1983, 24-year-old food scientist Kathy Westphal (a recent UC Davis graduate) created a non-dairy, dry-mix pineapple soft-serve formula at Dole’s Technical Center in San Jose, California. Her assignment was to develop something that could survive the brutal Orlando summers without melting or separating...Dole had just taken over sponsorship of the Magic Kingdom’s Enchanted Tiki Room (then called Tropical Serenade) that same year. Named Dole Whip, it quietly debuted in 1984 at the newly opened Aloha Isle (which replaced the old Veranda Juice Bar in Adventureland). Disneyland didn’t start serving it at the Tiki Juice Bar until 1986. When it launched as “Dole Pineapple Whip,” guests at Magic Kingdom could choose pineapple, orange, or strawberry. (Disneyland launched with only pineapple.) Before Dole Whip arrived, the same Adventureland area (and nearby Sunshine Tree Terrace) served the Citrus Swirl under Florida Citrus Growers sponsorship, complete with the Orange Bird mascot. Dole’s arrival in 1983 essentially phased that out in favor of the pineapple treat (although they coexisted for a while). Until 1997, Dole itself manufactured the exact mix used in the parks. After that, it was licensed to another company (Kent Precision Foods Group), which still produces it today. #WaltDisneyWorld #DisneyFacts

@dsdonovan @Parkeology 20k was not above costuming

@Parkeology *Not shown: leaks into costuming area from 20K 😁

What an amazing shot from an amazing time at Walt Disney World! Two of these three attractions are gone, and the remaining one has been altered in numerous ways. Did you get to experience any of them?

@_Ochiedike Why did Jesus roll The Rock back if he could just float out the top?

Jesus has risen. Atheists don't laugh, please.

@colligocrisis Ceramic bunny

i packed something easily breakable beyond recognition LMFAOOOO anyone who guesses what it is gets a custom bug picture

@EvanPatel11 If it bothers you that much, call it into maintenance base

@DragonsofWales Thank you

***URGENT*** It has just come to my attention that there are some people here who are unfamiliar with the pink fairy armadillo. I repeat: PINK. FAIRY. ARMADILLO. If you are one of them, you need to google it immediately (and thank me later).

@sagesadie293759 @notcapnamerica They did and more people voted for Harris than Trump

@notcapnamerica maybe the dems should have ran a campaign that people wanted to vote for

This you?

@SwashbucklerSZN @BaneTigger @Kerryist04 I feel sorry for every woman in your life. If you think the one on the right is a real smile. That is a completely forced smile to placate somebody

@BaneTigger @Kerryist04 So in your head canon, the one on left is feeling obligated to smile, and the one on the right is smiling genuinely and properly as possible? Are you guys dumb?

The way you can instantly tell which one is MAGA lmao

@DixZucker85 @Kerryist04 You can't tell a forced smile from a genuine one

@Kerryist04 The MAGA one seems happier?

@Abiola8Lekan @academic_la @_ZachFoster The Quran was written hundreds of years after The Exodus would have happened

@academic_la @_ZachFoster It definitely happened. Maybe they weren't up to 2 million people who left Egypt because the Quran suggested they were a small group numbering a few hundred thousand. The exodus was mentioned numerous times in the Quran and it's therefore absolutely true..

@luckyjen1128 @jrtoastyman I had never heard of sconsa either and it's supposed to be popular in Florida. I don't think I've even seen it on shelves

@jrtoastyman Right?! I find that hard to believe when it’s the single candy continuously sold out here during Easter. Also, I’ve never even heard of Sconza, which is supposedly our fave in California. I think this is rigged, lol. 😆

Whoppers are our favorite Easter candy? Be better, Missouri. And why is this entire map not Cadbury? Cream eggs, mini eggs, all of it is just sublime...

@D162Michele That's if we have a public transportation infrastructure in that City. Most don't

America, you’re telling me you can send four guys flawlessly to the moon and back, but your public transportation infrastructure looks like this?
