Silly pics...what'cha got??....maybe NSFW

Firmly in the licorice camp. Real licorice. I only eat the red things under duress. I can't even remember the last time I saw Red Vines in a store. Maybe never. So I don't have an opinion on the actual poll. Unless we get an "Option 4: Give me the real stuff!".

[Exodor]

I don’t think we even had a black licorice fan in the licorice thread speak up in support of that foul substance.

My wife loves black licorice. She claims it's a Dutch thing.

[hepcat]

Ah man, that’s too bad.

[Max Peck]

Man, I could go for some Dutch double-salt licorice right now.

[Blackhawk]

None of the above. Ick.

Licorice, on the other hand, is one of my favorite candies.

And a double-smack on anyone who calls it 'red licorice.' Licorice is a flavor (or the plant it originally came from), not a shape.

Very confusing.
Am I supposed to eat customers in the bathroom or is it for customers tthat are eating in the bathroom?

[hepcat]

It's unisex, so both.

Looks horrible for left and right and then forward and back movement..ok for up down.

I wouldn't replace my bar tables with these, or even put my TV on one, but they're neat examples of thought experiments made real. It takes a minute to figure out the forces on the configuration and realize that it works.

Thank goodness I don't have to worry about anyone taking a single snapshot and exposition it to represent my entire day.

[Unagi]

Yeah, that was a remarkably poor attack on Elon Musk.

[Unagi]

Thank goodness I don't have to worry about anyone taking a single snapshot and exposition it to represent my entire day.

It is worse, Elon will use it as an example of how he is not judged fairly.

I mean, who else hasn't daydreamed alongside their child while looking off at different clouds or heavily pushed Russian propaganda on their own social media platform?

[Max Peck]

If you're talking about the Xeet that Daehawk posted, it seems to be unironically praising Musk rather than mocking/attacking him. Perhaps that's why it seems to be such a weak "attack" in the first place. From what I can tell with a (very quick) search, Gail Alfar seems to be a right-wing Musk admirer and Texas(?) citizen-journalist.

I'm not sure why he posted it, let alone posted it here instead of the other side of the fence.

Exactly. Or yelling because you came into the kitchen and found cat kibble everywhere with no witnesses. Unless the cat(s) can take the bag out of the cupboard and put it back, it wasn't them.

Because of that single moment of surprise and anger, I'm a bad parent, apparently.

I dislike Musk but I'm not about cheap shots. Unless they're funny. Then I am. About cheap shots, I mean.

edit: If Gail thought that showed Musk in a positive light experiencing the joys of parenthood, she's an idiot.

What the heck is going on there?
I don't know a lot about sports but I'm pretty confident that the ref isn't supposed to be playing.

The last one got me. I was doing pretty well until that one.

just obviously brilliant, and so simple. I love it.

Depending on what you are spanning, I wonder how hard it would be to do, as the gray Up-Arrow is doing some heavy lifting there.

You have forgotten the words of Archimedes: “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. ”

[Daehawk]

Not silly but a great pic.

[Unagi]

You have forgotten the words of Archimedes: “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. ”

It was the image of a fulcrum in the middle of a deep river that worried me.

[Daehawk]

I can attest this is correct

[gilraen]

I disagree on classifying the proper pronunciation of "pecans" as hillbilly, though

Indeed. I learned when I lived in Texas that 'puhkhan" is "correct". Or, as I was told, a "Pee Can" is something else entirely.

[Daehawk]

We here in SE TN always said puhkhan. When I hear Brits and such say PeeCan it rubs me the wrong way

[Blackhawk]

Most of those are just regional, not 'hillbilly.' And some of them are wrong for hillbilly.

FWIW, I have heard 'puhkans' everywhere except the midwest. I hear 'peekan' the same way I do Police.

[Jaymann]

For me it's p'con with the accent equal an both syllables.
