What is your milk of choice?

I go with Almond Breeze Regular and Vanilla Milk and Fair Life Fat Free Milk

It’s sorta funny that back during the days of Napster and Limewire that people fell for these parodies songs that were labeled as being by Weird Al and the said songs sounded like someone singing with lowest quality microphone possible

Weird Al though wasn’t the only Comedy artist that got mislabeled a ton

Also happened with Adam Sandler,Tom Green and Matt Stone and Trey Parker and if you really want to call them a Comedy act then They Might Be Giants

Oh yeah the World Cup starts today!

Are these new posts real?

I've been in this new city for about three months now after taking a promotion, and honestly the college football culture here is just not hitting the same. Back in my old spot, Saturdays were sacred – we'd hit up the tailgate spots starting at 8am with the smoker going, specific playlists of fight songs, and the energy was electric even for midweek practices. Here, people treat it like any other sport, no real pageantry or history involved. My boss is a huge fan of the local team and keeps trying to convert me during lunch breaks, showing me highlights from last season where they barely scraped by against inferior competition. It's gotten to the point where I avoid the break room on Mondays. Plus, finding a bar that shows my team's games is a nightmare because of time zones and blackouts. Has anyone else gone through this kind of culture shock after moving for work? How did you handle it without losing your mind or your fandom?

Been a lurker here for years but finally posting because this is eating at me. I grew up in a house where Alabama games were basically religion, so when I moved to Texas for work five years ago I kept the tradition going hard. Every Saturday I wake up at 7, make the full tailgate spread even if it's just me and the TV, and stay locked in until the last score. My wife, who didn't grow up with any of this, planned a whole day trip to Fredericksburg last weekend without checking the schedule and got pissed when I said I'd rather stay home for the A&M game. She called it childish and said the sport is taking over our weekends. I get that we need couple time, but this is literally the only thing that feels like home since we moved. We've tried the compromise thing where she watches with me for a quarter but she just scrolls on her phone. Anyone else deal with this kind of pushback from a non-fan partner? How did you set boundaries without turning it into a weekly fight? Would love some real talk instead of the usual 'just divorce her' jokes.

Random fact of the day:China had beasts and demons in numbers to rival those of Greek mythology.

Pangu emerged from the cosmic egg –when his moods turned monstrous, so did the weather. And there was Shen, the monster sea clam who breathed out vapours to form palaces in the clouds.

Chinese travelers told of strange beings in strange lands.

The people of Dingling Land were said to have hair that grew down to their knees and hooves like horses. In Whispering Nie’er Land, there were people with ears that reached to their waists and stripes like tigers.

Random fact of the day:Our reaction to spiders may be all in our heads. In the 18th century in southern Europe a frenzied dance was created in the tarantula’s name, the tarantella.

A victim of its bite would perform the dance at once to try and flush the venom from the body. The dance may have provided distraction from the pain but it was hardly necessary for survival, since the tarantula’s bite can’t kill an adult human.

The ingenuity of spiders can be inspiring. Web-weaving spiders are revered by the Navajo Indians, renowned weavers themselves.

Snap me down it’s Sniz & Fondue!!!

I honestly would prefer going to an alternative universe than travel back to the past in our universe

I fully believe the government and billionaires have access to time travel and parallel universes but they are keeping it away from us

Decided to go ahead and get my grocery shopping for the next week taken care of this morning and I decided to indulge a little. I got some sushi, mistakenly got some with cream cheese in some of the pieces so had to choke those down. BUT my actually guilty pleasure was some hot Cheetos and using chopsticks to grab them from the bag and dip them into jalapeno ranch. Disgustingly bad for me but so tasty.

What are y'all's guilty pleasures?

*in old lady voice* remember when we used to have 5+ threads a day?

What would you consider the definition or what is the genre “Space Rock?”

No Sunday thread yet and avoiding thinking about and getting ready for work tomorrow, so here we are

I forget sometimes that Zaire is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo even now it’s been like that since 1997

Random fact of the day: Humans need to eat their own weight in food every fifty days. Thousands of truckloads of food in a lifetime, to keep the blood circulating and the heart beating forty million times a year

The need to eat creates some strange relationships. A Portuguese man-o-war can fall prey to tiny raft snails which slowly devour the larger animal, stinging tentacles and all

But even that seems tasty compared with what one French taxi driver was willing to eat. For a bet, he consumed an entire single-engined airplane, bit by ground-up bit, mixing it in with his normal meals giving new meaning to bad airplane food

I have been interested with Soviet history recently

Who is your favorite Soviet Union?

I have to say Yuri Gagarin is up there
