someone created a random generator that creates randomized inspirational quotes overlaid on random images in a soothing fashion and each and every image is comic gold

it’s pretty much the best thing ever and here are some of my favorites so far

so good


I’m getting this one made into a motivational poster for my home office


PLEASE GO MAKE SOME OF YOUR OWN RIGHT NOW

here are my faves, enjoy fam

ok interesting

i really like the picture the bot chose for this

i mean i can’t say that’s… untrue…

a valuable inspirational quote

and my personal favorite:

though i do have to admit that the best thing about this generator is the revelation that comes at the end (when you’ve spent like 20 minutes clicking), that the inspirobot is a company of insectoid aliens that cares deeply for you.

first to pop up for me lmao - try this out!

oh my god

image

… I- omg

YES!

Wait… is this bot backhandedly insulting me

…I was not expecting philosophy from a computer bot.

Oh how inspired I feel….

Oh shit.

juicy.

And finally, the real inspiration.

I wound up making too many good ones to add them all…

S T O P

…this is actually genuinely good advice I feel cheated

that’s better.

It’s Coffee Day

by Kelly Conaboy

Coffee, coffee
You wake me up
I am on
My second cup

Coffee, coffee
You’re so good
Have another?
Yes I would

Coffee, coffee
In a pot
I love you
A very lot

Coffee, coffee
Warm and brown
Turn my frown
Upside-down

Coffee, coffee
You’re my friend
I hope this cup
Will never end

Coffee, coffee
Favorite drink
Hate to pour
You down the sink

Coffee, coffee
It’s your day
Celebrate
Your favorite way

Coffee, coffee
In my mug
A warm smile
A nice hug

Coffee

(It’s coffee day, allegedly.)

Reader Submitted: A Series of Playful Objects Designed to Optimize the Modern Workspace

The 9 to 5 work schedule is changing. In modern life, there are people who work night shifts, and people who need to study all night. Emergency room workers can be called on at all hours. People with new businesses may have to stay up at night, too. Some just prefer to work at night.

The New Normal is a lighthearted project which aims to make the working environment more playful. No matter where people work, they are often in a confined and isolated space that can feel stressful. This project provides soothing and energizing elements to make any work space more comfortable.

The objects of The New Normal include a removable backrest that also functions as a blanket, a moveable recorder pillow, and a foot ramp to allow leg movement.

For whatever reason, our tub-o-goo cat will always come to me if I call out "Pretty Boy" -- even when he is hiding because it is medicine time.

Cary

I recall hearing of a duel, but never heard the story.

animatedamerican:

idiopathicsmile:

idiopathicsmile:

i just remembered this story my dad told me one time, about abraham lincoln

a guy challenged abe to a duel once. lincoln very much did not want to duel this cat.

so lincoln agreed, on the condition he got to choose the weapon. maybe that was how it generally went in 19th century dueling culture, i have no idea.

the guy said “sure”

lincoln said, “ok. broadswords.”


so that poor would-be opponent shows up on the day of the would-be duel, and abe is outside, doing, like, some quick sword warmups.

now, back in lincoln’s day, he was, as any american schoolchild can tell you, the tallest fucking dude on the entire fucking planet, so please try to even imagine the majestic reach of this stovepiped giant’s condor-like wingspan.

(wingspan plus broadsword.)

abe’s enemy takes one look at this, does some quick mental calculations on his own arm length (mortal, human), turns around and goes home.

the best part is that, as i remember it, lincoln of course had no fucking idea how to swordfight. it was the 1800s. we had guns. he’d just been, like, waving this giant sword around haphazardly, whacking at tree limbs, making his arms look as big as possible because he knew this joker could see him, and he knew that guy didn’t know that lincoln didn’t know what the hell to do with a broadsword.


anyway, i don’t actually know if that story is true or not but i really really hope it is. i would love to know that the president who defeated the confederacy was also fucking hilarious.

UPDATE: a very helpful anon just linked me to an actual account of the actual historical incident. i got a number of crucial details wrong, as it turns out.

PLOT TWIST: the real version is considerably funnier

… oh man, click through, the above is great but the real version is SO MUCH FUNNIER

The power of hurricane-force winds

by noreply@blogger.com (Minnesotastan)

Although, to be honest, that's probably a palm tree and palms have wood that has evolved to be soft and flexible rather than sturdy.  Still it's a reminder of why weathermen shouldn't stand outdoors for their photo-op reports.

Adopt an Abandoned French Chateau

by MessyNessy
Cary

1% problems... The former owner of a small company that we bought purchased a French Castle after retiring. Our president still visits him once in a while and always has interesting stories about what they have to do to maintain the place. Almost everything requires getting permission from the local town -- they weren't allowed to pave/brick/etc the driveway because dirt was the only thing used at the time. They had to have a highway construction company come in when they wanted to add a bathroom because they needed a hole "drilled" through a 12 foot thick wall.

I recently did a Garak run of DS9 where I only watch the Garak episodes, and my friend Rebecca asked me to put together a list of the best ones for her to watch (with a special emphasis on the Garak/Bashir ship).
So, here are my picks! What are your favorite Garak episodes?

The Gentle Art of Smoking

by Mary Kelly

gentle art of smoking cover

The Gentle Art of Smoking
Dunhill
1954

I had no idea that smoking was an art form. When I first saw the back cover, I wasn’t sure what I was looking at, but my first thought wasn’t pipes. This book is one of those pro-smoking salutes to tobacco in all its forms.

The author kicks off with a history of tobacco and the production on plantations. Not a word is mentioned about slavery and the tobacco trade. Pipes, cigars, cigarettes, and other tobacco products are outlined. There is also a “how to” component from the author on how to smoke various products. If you are looking for more “fun” in your smoking, you might like this old post from 2013. It’s one of my favorites.

I really can’t get beyond the illustrations of the pipes on the back cover.

“Miss, you have to make the hologram 3D.”

“What? Hold on, I’m trying to full screen this. Where’s the cursor?”

“There is no cursor, Miss. Flick your wrist to make the hologram 3D.”

“And that’ll fullscreen it?”
