Reply to Have I ever mentioned that I really love bicycles? by flabberghaster

i asked to learn how to ride a bike when i was like 10 so my dad took me to the park for me to try (idk why we couldnt do it at home). when i fell over he laughed at me, and there were other kids around, so i was like "fuck this i dont want to learn anymore" so i still dont know how to ride a bike.

Reply to i hung up my laundry yesterday but i had to close the window in the evening because mosquitos started coming in and now my laundry is still wet and i wish i had better venting so i guess this post is a vent vent post by ___

i've read that if you have a little bit of laundry you can hang it up in your bathroom with the extractor fan on and thatll help. my bathroom is like 3 square metres so that doesn't work for me but maybe you're a high roller. otherwise maybe you could get a screen for your window. or just put your clothes outside. my roommates dont put their clothes out to dry when its sunny and its like... but that's optimal drying time

Reply to people should be more scared of glass. movie characters with uncompleted arcs should have their absence felt through the film after they jump through a window. so that we can teach people that glass is dangerous. (cw: death discussion) by twovests

idk we live in a world full of things that have a latent danger to them. people drive in cars all day with the passive knowledge that any other driver on the road could kill them with a turn of the steering wheel. i jaywalk knowing that drivers are fucking insane and want to kill pedestrians at the best of times. i was making a different point with this comment but maybe actually the crux is that having cars be the primary vehicle (hoh) through which we move around the world is not a good idea. uhh people leave their babies around dogs even knowing that that dog could eat that fuckin baby. i'm going off track here

Reply to Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe by oolong

articles like these always sort of stun me. it always comes out that like thousands of employees knew the risks and ramifications of their company's products in like 1950 and nobody said anything to the press or to the government or anything until it was too late. i can't fathom it. imagine knowing without a doubt that your company was essentially poisoning people and the environment and not saying a word because what, you collect a paycheck from them? why were the generations before us so fucking gutless? is it still like this today?
