Things you wonder about.

If someone is a vegetarian and they eat free-range eggs, the hens eat worms and snails, is the person eating the eggs still a vegetarian?

There is a BYD Seal thread on here for three years and it has over 5000 replies and over 300,000 views. It is mostly people saying how it is a great car and how they plan to buy one.

So with all that in mind, how come I can count the number of times I have actually seen one of them on one hand?

Why does my fridge/freezer start beeping like crazy if I leave the fridge door open for 20 seconds while I'm buttering a slice of bread but says nothing if I forget to close the freezer door for five hours?

because there is enough shi*e coming out of one mouth and one bum without doubling them

How come only one of the Inbetweeners gets invited on to shows like House of Games, Taskmaster etc?

I could be wrong but I believe the proper latin term for this is everything-o-tarian.

1. 'Money is the root of all evil'

⇒ money = ²\/ evil

2. Women take time & money

⇒woman = time x money

3. But Time is money

⇒ time = money

⇒ woman = money × money

⇒ woman = (money)²

⇒ woman = ( ²\/ evil ) ²

⇒ woman = evil 😈

QED

😉😘😉

Religions, whatever you make of their utter nonsense, came about in part because they were an attempt by ignorant people to assign order to a natural world they didn't understand. They were the first attempts by humans at science, education, medicine, philosophy.

The were also used to bring order to people. They brought different aspects to groups to become civilisations, like morality, identity, social order and other essential aspects for civilisation to develop.

Spirituality is another. The belief in something greater, the feeling that life has meaning, comfort, the chance to be at peace.

Another reason I reckon why the religions that stick around the longest have been as successful as they have been is down to their ability to confront and convince through faith their answer to mortality. I'm not talking death, I'm talking finality, the end, nothing left of body/mind/soul. Most people can't handle, or used not be able to handle, the concept that once you're dead that's it.

A lot of religions offer an escape from that reality through an afterlife, spirit life, ties to your descendants, the power to influence fate, that death isn't final.

So understanding, civilisation, spirituality and mortality. That's why religions, though made up nonsense, have been so successful, they were an attempt by humans to understand the world and their role and place in it.

It's why as science develops, Gods become less relevant, the God of the Gaps theory is proof of this. The more we know, the less can be attributed to the supernatural beings as they were in the past. As our knowledge and understanding expands, the gaps are made up by Gods, but the more we learn, the smaller those gaps get.

But religions were our first attempt at a lot of things, and given that most of the world isn't that smart, or most of the world can't face their own mortality, until very recently in human history, that's why they've stuck around.

The Easter bunny, Santy, tooth fairy etc are just stories made up to cheer up kids. World of a difference between them.

That's what I'd expect, but no, it's the fridge part that does the beeping.

This sounds excessively plausible.

And the book ban people, I think there was 5 or 6 of them. Did they all have to read every single book released and then compare notes? It would not be possible without bending time and space.

How do you get one of those jobs called "film and streaming reviewer".

You see 2 of them on every week with Matt Cooper.

You basically have to sit and watch TV and films as your job. Best job ever! Lie on the sofa all day, wife gives off to you, "hey im flat out working here !! Would you bring me in another cuppa when you get a minute".

I never see them advertised.

How long it will take for someone to find my remains life not worth it any more.
