Damn you Meta. Why do you need to put price tag on everything????

I checked messenger and it is still free(for now).

Her tailgate was up in the garage and she unknowingly opened the garage door and a metal piece just slid across the tailgate. Anyone have any idea what a scratch like this is going to cost to fix? 😅

Opened a can of Green Beans and this is what came out of it. 6 beans. This shrinkflation is no joke.

They were 7’ tall before he had them ‘trimmed’ by a ‘professional’, who started work at 7am.
What a mess to wake up to on a Saturday morning.

Forest and land fires have been burning in Way Kambas National Park, Lampung, since September 22, 2026. According to local reports, the fires have reached areas used by wild elephants and deer and approached a barrier fence used to manage elephant movement.

Park authorities said the fire was near the park’s northern boundary, while the main elephant habitat in the southern area and the Elephant Conservation Centre were reported safe at the time of assessment. The full impact on wildlife remains unclear, and authorities are investigating the cause of the fires, including the possibility of deliberate burning.

Even if the main elephant habitat remains untouched, fires threatening wildlife corridors can still disrupt animal movement and damage their habitat.

This mf is still here after now 3 attempts to remove it by "professionals" and, soaking rags in vinegar and throwing em all around, and driving it 40 miles on the damn highway. I have now tried chemical warfare acoustic warfare, thermal warfare and an ancient Greek offering of honey cake (wet bread with honey on it) cuz nothing else is working why the fuck not try appeasing Athena?

ETA: Since apparently the terminology surrounding our neighborhood’s wastewater system has become the main topic of discussion rather than the actual issue, let me clarify a few things.

Every individual home in our neighborhood has its own underground wastewater collection and pumping system that connects to the county’s main sewer line. Wastewater from our toilets, sinks, showers, etc., flows into this system before being pumped into the main line. There is also a vent pipe outside each home and an alarm mounted on the house that sounds if the system backs up or the pump fails.

I’m not a plumber, nor have I ever claimed to be one. Whether the correct technical term is a septic tank, grinder pump, or sewage ejector system, the point is that this equipment is part of the home’s wastewater/sewage system. If I’ve used the wrong terminology, I’m perfectly happy to be corrected.

And for those confidently insisting that this has absolutely nothing to do with sewage, YOU WERE NOT HERE TO SMELL IT. The odor coming from that drainage ditch smelled like straight-up sewage. This wasn’t some ordinary puddle of water with a garden hose running into it. There was stagnant, foul-smelling water sitting in the ditch, and the smell was absolutely disgusting. We could smell it from 8 houses away.

I find it rather amusing how many people can apparently identify exactly what’s happening underground, what equipment is being used, AND what the water contains from a handful of photographs taken by someone who was actually standing there.

I genuinely cannot WAIT to move out of this neighborhood. This is now the SECOND neighbor we’ve had who regularly pumps what appears to be wastewater from their septic system directly into the roadside drainage ditch. Apparently, this is just something people think is perfectly normal and acceptable to do?!

What absolutely disgusts me is the complete lack of consideration for everyone else living in the neighborhood. These drainage ditches run alongside the road and connect to the drainage system throughout our community. There are families with young children, pets, and people who regularly walk through these areas, yet somehow the possibility of pumping sewage into a shared drainage ditch doesn’t seem to bother the people doing it.

And the fact that we’ve now had TWO separate neighbors doing this on a regular basis is what really gets me. At what point did this become acceptable behavior?! How does someone look at a residential drainage ditch and decide that’s an appropriate place to discharge their septic waste? The sheer disregard for basic sanitation, public health, and the people living around them is absolutely mind-boggling.

We’ve already contacted the local health department and our HOA about the situation. I’m just beyond frustrated that this is even something we have to deal with, let alone report. You would think that NOT potentially contaminating your neighborhood with sewage would be common sense, but apparently that’s asking too much.

I am so unbelievably ready to get the hell out of this neighborhood. 🙃

After two months in school, my son's water bottle "accidentally" spilled all over his school laptop. He had a major meltdown and I grabbed the first thing I could find that was dry to salvage it.

No clue if Im doing the right thing, but a glass of wine after the fiasco calmed my nerves.

It's ridiculous. I have this sheet and I can't wash it in the washing machine all the time. My parrot has green, sticky droppings that leave green stains that are difficult to remove with wet wipes, so I use a strong stain remover, but sometimes it leaves stains like this.

I’m on the last 6 dozen of a 20 doz sugar cookie order being picked up tomorrow night. Put the first tray in the oven for their usual time before starting to package the rest, and about 4 minutes in, my husband started shouting my name with smoke filling the air…my cookies caught fire in the oven. I’ve tried turning it off and on but unfortunately the oven just overheats immediately and it’s too late for a repairman to come until sometime tomorrow 🫠

A serious WTF moment because I bought the truck at a discount and only had it for two days.

Absolutely nothing, bland nothingness. Why do they make it look it something that tastes so good and refreshing?

Please help I found this in my bathroom and I’m freaking out is this a bedbug, it’s reddish brown and I don’t know what to do if it is

It’s held together by a rubber band. This was literally $50 😭

Also the Bluetooth is for connecting to stereo/headphones, and not for broadcasting from your phone to the machine.
Each tiny vinyl runs $16 a piece. They can’t play on a standard record player (at least all the way through.)
My mistake. 😣

well stupid got me into this I'm counting on it getting me out... that there is a heating pad and once I verify he's there I plan on pulling the heating pad situated on a peice of cardboard out from under the car away from the car as fast as I can. Yessss I'm going to pull the snake twords myself like a dumbass.. if I get enough upvotes I'll make a video of me pulling it out.

This is thankfully a less common but still very serious side effect of an AI data center being built nearby.

Google’s Finland country manager has apologized for unauthorized forest clearings near Muhos, which have turned 816 acres of forest into an expanse of mud. The American search and AI giant has also been told to cease work where it has cleared roughly 500 acres of forest, 55 miles southeast of the village of Otanmäki. Now The Guardian reports that wolves, who used to live in the forests, are roaming into villages neighboring these man-made muddy wastelands.

Local anger continues to simmer over the damage done to Finnish forests, as Google seems to have ridden roughshod over regulations in the hurry to build new AI data centers in Finland. However, the report suggests that it isn’t just environmentalists who have a beef with Google. Some families say wolves and other wild animals have entered the countryside villages. This would be a serious human safety concern.
