    lol my indoor cats are usually big scaredy-cats when it comes to stuff like strange noises, strangers in the house, etc, but both of them have literally broken out of the house in different ways to try and fuck up feral/stray cats that have come too close to the house. I guess it’s just territorial behavior, but even my little 7-pound girl is a menace when it comes to strange cats.

    A quick google shows people estimating 500-750 kcal/hour when swimming the English Channel. And another big range, but it looks like ~15 hours is a decent estimate for a one-way crossing, so that’s ~7,000-11,000 kcal, which assuming 3500kcal/lb of fat, that’s 2-3 lbs.

    This is all ignoring the fact that most of the energy burned is actually glycogen and food consumed during the swim, not fat reserves.

    Not to undermine your point about forklifts being more dangerous than cars (no idea personally, I don’t have any firsthand experience, only horror stories I’ve read on the internet), but I wonder if accidents/injuries per vehicle per year is the best measurement of danger considering I would assume most cars are only driven for about an hour per day, but I would assume forklifts are operated for about 8-12 hours per day.






  • I recently went to the grocery store and before I started scanning at the self-checkout, I realized someone else had scanned a box of “Men’s libido max” pills and apparently left as it required ID or something to buy, and I guess they didn’t want to look someone in the face and buy it.

    So then I had to look someone in the face while they cleared it from the register, probably thinking that I was the one who had the change of heart.
