The number of times I’ve seen this meme or variations of it and realize that there is a good number of people out there who never clean their air fryer
She actually suffers from schizophrenia … she also plays the part of the son … she lives alone in her house.
We’re Memetarians now and we’re getting married in a Memetarian ceremony online … here is the link to view the ceremony …
German for Bavarian Motor Works
God damit! … I was right all along … just in the wrong language!
Yes … and because of that, for the longest time, because so many people repeated it, I thought the acronym stood for Bavarian Motor Works … its actually ‘Bayerische Motoren Werke’
Nintendo was founded in 1889 and originally made a type of playing card
BMW started off making aircraft engines over a hundred years ago when powered aircraft were first being developed … which is why their logo is a circle with four different coloured quarters, it’s the image of a spinning propeller
Just don’t ask them what they were doing between 1933 and 1945
The meme has it backwards … worker should be saying … ‘I guess we produce motorcycles now’

They weren’t stolen … they can be fetched and returned from their last known location in Afghanistan
It is liable to turn the potatoes into a purée and into a liquid which is absolutely terrible to serve with anything. It basically turns it into potato soup.
I remember I only made that mistake once years ago. I got lazy one day and decided to use a hand blender to mash some well cooked potatoes… it only took ten seconds to make potato soup. Then I had to make another batch of potatoes after.
I guess I should have worded that differently … no one cares if you can maintain your own personal rights or privacy because corporations view your rights and privacy as just another commodity ready to be bought and sold.
Human agony and self torture
Most likely it will all be bought and sold like everything in the world these days. No one cares about privacy or rights especially if it means millions of dollars of profit are on the line.
The biggest take away from all this is … never ever trust a corporation with your privacy.
Because eventually they will give up your privacy if it means they stand to lose millions or gain millions.
Be careful and always leary of new services and conveniences that will affect your privacy because eventually it will be bought and sold to the highest bidder no matter how you feel about it.
Correct … I’m Indigenous and my parents were born in the 1930s and 1940s and they lived through famine up here in northern Ontario before the province became fully developed in our part of the country. Dad had several stories where he remembered being a kid in the 1950s and watched people boil moccasins in order to get some kind of food to eat.
It takes a long, long time to die from starvation … but it also doesn’t mean that you are healthy and running around the whole time either. You go through several days or even weeks of no food and you can survive and just exist miserably. After that you can linger just sitting still or lying still for days or weeks before you actually expire. There are plenty of stories from the second world war about this in places like Auschwitz or Buchenwald concentration camps … or besieged cities like Leningrad or Stalingrad where thousands of people starved for weeks and months, yet survived.
Even as you are starving and on your feet, you’ll probably go insane first and do things like actually wanting to kill people just to eat them … this is actually the basis of many of our stories and legends of Windigo and monsters, it was creatures that were once people that turned to hunting and eating people.
Water is plentiful here in northern Ontario so we’ll probably be safe from that shortage … it might not be safe or convenient but we’ll have access to enough. Starvation from food might not take hold for several days, weeks or even months … but people will sure be miserable and very dangerous and unpredictable almost immediately once they know there will be a food shortage.
I don’t bother prepping for these reasons … the ones who survive won’t be the ones who prepared or are the strongest or the smartest … the ones who survive will be the lucky ones who just happen to survive the longest without getting killed or murdered by other people.
It is a frightening realization that our world hinges on a very thin tether of human cooperation that allows us to create a civilization where food is delivered daily to everyone everywhere all the time.
As soon as that system is disrupted, or destroyed … people automatically start starving.
If something terrible happens right now and transportation stops … there is only enough fresh food in any town for 24 hours … 72 hours to empty them all of everything else that is edible. What most people don’t realize is that modern grocery stores are stocked just for a day or two with the expectation that deliveries will happen on a daily basis. So grocery stores don’t have any extra once supplies are gone. They don’t have surplus in the back to restock everything. Even as it all starts, we will probably start fighting, murdering one another for food supplies once we realize no more is coming.
It’s really hard to build a civilization from nothing … but it’s far too easy to take a civilization down.
