Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

I love real books, they smell fantastic and feel great.

Unfortunately the best books weigh about 20kg so ebooks are better if you like to read in bed or use public transport.

What I do is get the ebooks, set it to white words on black background, and if I see the same book cheap in a shop, buy it as an ornament for my bookshelf.

On other news, little dog seems to be responding to medication and may pull through. If they don't break your heart, they break your bank balance (is worth it though).

Strange I jumped into a book by an Australian author.
Really enjoyed it, only to find its actually the 4th entry in the series.
Now to go back and complete the other eight.

Your maths is flawed

Yeah I thought I phrased it weirdly
What I meant was it is the 4th entry in the series of 8 books.

Then your maths is still flawed, you've already read one so you only have to go back and complete the other seven.

Reading may not be brain intensive for me but it seems math is.

Shit, I still have to write longhand before typing it up on the 'puter.

This thread is about as much as I can read on a screen at one time... but even then.

And every time my niece posts on social media about watching GoT at the gym, I just wanna feed her iPhone to the treadmill she's walking on...

Well-meaning memes that either completely ignore or do not understand the basic tenets of how a functioning society works annoy me more than they should.

They don't throw balls in real sports anyway.

So some Canadian coworker just came in and said "Have you seen the new Australian $5 note? Apparently it looks like a piece of shit. "Clown barf", I think one news outlet called it". Is it that bad?

In most images of the note, the new transparent strip down the middle appears blue, as its hard to show transparency on a stock image, so it just looks like this dark blue strip in the middle of the note and looks awful, like this

But what it will actually look like in real life looks much better, i really dont mind it.

My first three response to this post were all gross, so I'll just say yes it is very bad

Pop-up urinals aim to reduce public urination in Gold Coast nightclub strip

The proposed high-tech pop-up public toilets would appear from underground via remote control during busy times. My thoughts are do they watch CCTV for a certain proportion of men writhing with crossed legs and hands pressed desperately to their genitals before popping the urinals up? I'd like to think they do that by contacting International Rescue. Now at last we know what Thunderbird 2's pod 3 contains.
And for the ladies?

There is no ******* way you use a phone book in the year of our lord jesus christ twenty sixteen.

Non-digital maps are also incredibly unlikely but a phone book? #carn

The yellow pages are handy. Other than that no. I'm good with remembering numbers, I don't have my family, missus, or best mates in my mobile even.

That is truly mesmerising.

You have an accident that involves a head injury and wind up in hospital. Your brain isn't quite functioning to its normal capacity and you're forgetting things you'd normally remember. You need to call your mum but her number isn't in your phone. What do you do?

Why? Why wold you choose to type it out every time? Even if you did so, why would you not store them anyway?
Is this you?

Ask them to hit you just a bit harder so you forget you have a mother. Really, why do people make things complex?
