top 5 irrational fears for 20yo white-passing fuckboys in 2008

5. Gay sex is too good, can’t go back
4. Terrorism in place of work (Jamba Juice) or leisure (Jamba Juice)
3. Overcome by apex predator (shark, tiger, bear, etc) in combat
2. Peak oil
1. Getting caught riding dirty

Fratboys in 2008 would pull over to the side of the road and have a panic attack because they had an ounce of salvia in the glovebox and there was a parked and vacant cop car five blocks ahead. You don’t know how big a deal the riding dirty thing was, you had to be there

Yeah just a heads up. If you start judging people by bodyshape in any way I’ll kick you right in the teeth. Have fun describing someone’s face shape as inferior when your jaw is gone

“Abolish Golf”

Sticker spotted in Chicago, Illinois.

A typical golf course uses 200 million gallons of water a year. There are over 16,300 golf courses in the United States.

That’s nuts.

Ngl I hate golf and I’m all for this. They put a golf course in our public park at the expense of hundreds of centuries-old live oak trees. Half of the walk around the park you’re just looking at an empty golf course. Like 2 people want to play golf. So annoying.

Golf was a game developed in Scotland, where it rains up to 250 days of the year, and where the courses use very hard-wearing grass. The sand in the bunkers is because it used to be played on the coast - these traditional courses are called “Links” courses. The top Links course in Scotland, Royal Dornoch, uses no mains water at all. They have their own rainwater collection system.

It wasn’t originally intended to be played in the middle of a desert on lush green turf that takes thousands of gallons of water a day to maintain. Unless you can keep the course alive using only rainwater collection, it shouldn’t exist.

A screenshot of a Twitter thread from user alanaauston saying, "um? I assumed those commercials used water because they couldn't show blood but it's really because no one... thought to test actual blood?" Theres a screen shot from a TikTok video attached.ALT
A screen shot from a TikTok from an unmentioned user. It has a long haired person in the background and in the foreground is a text in white with black borders saying, "Me explaining to people that the first study where scientists actually tested the absorbency of period products using BLOOD and not water was only published on Monday this week -and unsurprisingly it's shown that products aren't as absorbent as their labels say which drastically impacts how doctors have been diagnosing heavy bleeding"ALT
A different screen shot from Twitter, this from Twitter user JasmineAGolphin in response to user alanaaustin's first tweet, saying, "Absolutely no shape to op but I didn't fully believe this absolute fuckery so I not only read the article but I read the abstract and then then downloaded the pdf of the study itself and y'all (line break) Y'all (another line break) They were using saline and water." There's an attached image of a block of text.ALT
The text image that user JasmineAGolphin uploaded from the study in question. It's black text on a white background that says, "This clinical evaluation has become more challenging with the availability of a wide range of alternative menstrual hygiene products. The current validated clinical tool routinely used to assess menstrual blood loss is the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC). The PBAC is based on saturation of menstrual pads and tampons; newer menstrual hygiene products have yet to be integrated into the PBAC. To complicate matters, no industry standard exists for capacity testing of mentrual products except for tampons due to their historical link between absorbency and the risk of toxic shock syndrome. (3) Individual manufacturers may report collection capacity of their product using a liquid such as saline or water which is not equivalent to menstrual blood. Menstrual blood not only contains blood but is also composed of vaginal secretions and endometrial cells. (4) Individuals with HMB may also experience rapid blood loss (flooding) or pass clots which can further challenge the absorption of some products and lead to leaking."ALT

hey, hi, I was just on the former bird app and came across this info from a brand new study and now I cannot stop screaming internally??? what the actual fuckkkk

theres’ an article from the guardian here and here is the actual study:
