Imho, it’ partly because then they know their kids have reached that stage in their lives where they are stable and have a home as well as are socially cared for and care for their significant other. Puts their minds at ease basically and they can age peacefully. Most parents basically want the best for their children and this is one symptom of it (now I’m prepared to get the replies of all the people with shitty parents.)

I don’t get what inherent corporate use the https protocol itself has but thanks for the info dump. I’ll take a look. Especially since I even nvere herad of Geocities before.

Never heard of the first and third one. Care to elaborate?

– probably the engravings on their wedding rings, one part of the sentence on each.

Maul on the bowl

They both look like avocados to me

Oof, your loss mate. Real shame.

Could whistle normally as long as I can remember. Tried forever to learn the two finger loud whistles as a kid and never could make a sound but still tried. I still recall when I was around 13 yo reading Goosebumps and randomly did the gesture when suddenly I made the first successfull attempt. I literally turned to the mirror on the side becuase of the surprise and had that Shaq face on Hot Ones. After practicing for a while I discovered that, while you can whistle EXTREMELY loudly this way, you legit hurt your own eardrums the most. Basically kamikaze whistling. I don’t use it that often because of it.

The third way of whsitling is by blowing through your palms which makes that owl-like howl. You can basically do the first part of the song in Once Upon a Time in the West this way.

Also, snapping your fingers in a very “snappy” loud and deep kinda way.

Holy shit that’s awesome. I’ve considered getting a Fairphone or comparable alternative for a while now. Only think holding me back was the design and limited color options (first world problems, I know) as having bricks to carry around is something I despise which is also a problem with new phones in general. They simply are too thick or the screens are too big.

Human induced. Habitat destruction drives more species into more human populated regions

animals many people wouldn’t get into contact with (be it with animal waste or any other way) happens way more often > chances of diseases formerly only present in certain animals adapting to have human hosts increases

An arab country siphons resources from the US this time? How ironic.

Feature rich? Probably. User friendly? Bro skipped doing a hot take and went straight to supernova.

I’m sorry, what?

Make such a joke nowadays and you’re labeled sexist

Because your kids won’t need a parent once they turn 18?

Hello Fine Thanks. I’m CD.

Awesome! Didn’t even know of its existence until now. Thanks for the heads up!

Pi-hole? Pardon my ignorance but could you elaborate?

I’ve heard one of the reasons you don’t often see people smiling on old photos is because you had to hold the pose for quite a while. So in order to make it easier (and prolly not look like an idiot) they often went for the most mundane expressions. Not sure if it’s true though. Someone more informed is welcome to enlighten me.
