I learned about Schrodinger's Phone Bill. Verizon has no way to access my bill. They can't mail me my bill, they can't email me my bill, and they can't print my bill out for me. But they know exactly how much I owe them, and God help me if I don't pay them every cent of it.

Jared Leto's career as a leading man is finished.

Jared Leto's career as a leading man is finished.

Come'on, he was never a leading man; he was cast well in a few roles (less than 5) that he did very well in, usually a supporting role.

You can't end something that never started.

(pulling the number out of my arse) 80% of the films he's been in, he wasn't top billing or the main role.

> New one-liner "Its like a pineapple"

yeah, it's disappointing. it's like a pineapple situation.

the novel is a pineapple, tastes fine as a fruit on its own.

the manga is a pineapple tart, they took the fruit and made something great.

the live action is a pineapple pie, great too.

the anime is pineapple pizza, like just why?

TIL Manananggal aka a supernatural creature that can eject its lower part of body and fly with its upper torso that sprout bat wings. So basically it is a Castlevania mob monster.

So right now I am thinking of a monster mix with Fei Tong Man (飞头蛮, because unlike Krasue whose head pop away with innards like heart and lungs attached, this chinese monster only dislodge head), Manananggal and maybe a supernatural monster of a lower part of human and a Megazord is formed.

Or Buggy from One Piece.

TIL Tikbalang aka 马脸 from the chinese underworld folklore of cow head horse face.

And all I can think of is horse furry and very rude R34 thing...

Yeah, horse cock.

Was reading on the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer recently, and I found out what happens to all the starlinks when they re enter the atmos and then found out how much aluminum oxide we (starlink) are adding to the ozone everyday and what might happen (not yet certain) to the ozone if we keep it up.
