Bio-Dome is pretty fun. And you get to see an early appearance of Tenacious D.
I love the D
you can quote me on that
I love the D - [email protected]
The only thing I know about Biodome is from Weird Al.
"Cause I had my tray table up, and my seatback in the full upright position!"
Noted, but I ain't putting any money in that prick Stephen Baldwin's pocket. Also, if you happen through Tucson, go check out Biosphere 2 in Oracle, AZ which inspired this film. Science, bitch!
Hmm.. It lost me at "Pauly Shore", but got me back at "Tenacious D".. This is a puzzler 🤔
Dude wipes are the most toxic masculine bullshit product I’ve ever seen. Honestly who the fuck buys that shit except the most fragile male ego in the universe
I liked the answer that I once saw here: "Real men do whatever the fuck they want." No one cares about this kind of judgmental assholery.
Real men have painted nails when their kids say it's time to paint nails
Yes, Real Men™️ fall for toxic masculinity marketing tactics. Real Men™️! Also, just your average mindless consumer regardless of gender but Real Men™️, too! Especially, Real Men™️!
Be Real Men™️
Agreed. Stop flushing wipes, none of them are "flushable". If it doesn't dissolve from light manipulation when wet, it's not flushable.
Bidet. Just get one. They're like $30 and take 10min to install. Clean buttholes forever.
Turns out there are a lot of those people. They’re probably doing fine.
they're probably doing better with cleaner buttholes than if these didnt exist
I buy them because they smell like mint. I prefer them over normal wet wipes. I didn't think this was such a passionate issue for people.
Yeah same, I got ones that smell like Shea butter, they're pretty nice. I mean if the store had other ones branded differently with the same wipes I would just buy those lol. I feel like the only ones triggered by the imagery are ironically the guys who are insecure in their masculinity and feel threatened by a literal moist toilette.
Anything other than a bidet, bonus points for charging more for having more 'masculine' advertising
Not to go political but have you paid any attention to the number of supporters of the king of fragile male egos, their king? It's a huuuge market segment.
when you have large hands and a large asshole that takes large messy shits, you need a larger than normal ass wipe. dude wipes is the largest asswipe on the market. no cap.
I’m a caregiver for a man who needs coaching through the entire bathroom hygiene process and I can say that in my professional opinion, Dude Wipes are terrible. They pull apart just getting them out of the package (see below), let alone when someone with dexterity issues tries to clean their butthole with them. He ended up with a poop covered hand after pulling the bits of pulled apart dude wipe out from his butt.
They are the largest “flushable” wipes, but are smaller than a normal baby wipe. Flushable wipes shouldn’t be flushed anyway, they’re terrible for every type of sewage system.
They're larger than regular wipes, and the chemicals are less irritating. Compare to cottonelle wipes which make my down there burn, and the choice is easy. These days I prefer crocodile wipes though.
Liquid Death? It's just fucking water. There's already water in your house you don't need a fucking can with a threatening name for it.
I heard the branding was to help recovering alcoholics, so they don't feel like they're "missing out," and won't stand out so much with a scary can instead of a water bottle/glass. So they can still crack a cold one with the boys and such.
I'd believe this with how much I see Steve-O drinking it on his YouTube channel. The dude made a point to drive a whole ass vending machine of Liquid Death across the country to his new home lol. At his previous home in California, it was apparently up against the coping of the half pipe in his backyard so you could do trick off of it.
That's pretty cute. I support this.
eh I find their tall boys of sparking water have made it so I hardly drink alcohol at all now.
It's worth $1.57 to fool my brain, and certainly cheaper than the same amount of beer.
I had heard that's the point, to a degree, or at least to help people with a drinking problem not feel ostracized while out with friends.
Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.
(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)
Hate to break it to you, the inside of cans are still lined with plastic. Still marginally better than plastic bottles though.
I've heard of kids who have been too corrupted by drink marketing to drink water drinking liquid death. If it gets demographics who wouldn't otherwise drink water to drink water I can't get upset about it
while i am a proponent that different brands of water is different and there is a difference in taste, ill never defend overpriced water.
like you arent going to give me a bottle of arrowhead water.
Costco seltzer packs are a much better/cheaper choice.
I hope you guys are memeing because getting passionately mad over guy branded stuff that we just find kinda neat is a new level of stupid I haven't been exposed to yet. I want my asshole to smell like mint, so I buy dude wipes. I want canned water to cut down on plastic usage, so I buy liquid death. I want a burger that's not made of animals so I buy a beyond burger. Beyond what? I don't fucking know I just want a burger.
It's not that deep.
Oi I'm not wiping my manly butthole with those pink girly wipes. That'd be GAY or probably something equally incoherent.
I'd never heard of Dude Wipes, and I don't get the point of them at all. I'd probably buy Gendered Butthole Wipes, though, I love the name!
I remember reading somewhere that men's buttholes are tougher than women's and therefore more resilient to anal sex. It was in a thread though where feminists were complaining about anal sex being degrading and potentially injurious for women, so take it with a grain of salt.
A few years ago my friend's father passed away. My friend's mother continued to live in the house for another year or so. She never worked and had to eventually sell the house and downsize.
My friend had referred to her mother as a hoarder before. I've seen the reality TV shows about hoarders. But you don't really understand just how bad the problem is until you spend several days helping your friend clean out their childhood home for sale, filling up several dumpster bags worth of... Stuff. Apparently the mother has always had some mental health problems and a shopping addiction, but spending over a year alone in that house drove her off the deep end.
We could have opened an entire new Harbor Freight store. There were clothes in sizes I didn't know existed. My wife casually found a pistol just shoved in a random box. It was madness.
Came for meme comments, left with sadness and misery
My MIL once brought a trash bag full of clothes for my wife, from friend who didn't want them. Most of them were brand new with tags still on them. We thought it was strange, but they mostly fit and we didn't think too much about it. Next visit she brings two more big garbage bags of new clothes, and one of the bags had dirt (like actual earth/dirt) on the outside. It turned out that the friend was a shopaholic and had been stashing the bags of clothes under the house so her husband didn't see, but she was running out of room, and was trying to make space.
We stopped taking the clothes. It felt like taking advantage of someone's mental illness. Never met the lady, but seemed sad.
I grew up in this kind of house. My spouse retrained me. I didn’t know that it was weird for your living space to smell like urine.
Glad you improved your situation
I enjoyed the movie Driveways that in part is about cleaning out a hoarder's house. Plus it's got Brian Dennehy in it, it's his last movie before he died.
Pro-tip: if you choose to wipe your ass with babywipes/gendered moist towellets.... Don't flush them.
Just to reiterate, even the ones that claim to be "flushable" DO NOT FLUSH THEM. It's a damn lie and I don't know how they keep getting away with it.
It feels like a part of that deregulation politicians keep going on about. Deregulation ruined the airlines and now they're ruining our buttholes... when is enough enough?
What? But they're flushable*, it says so right on the package.
* if your municipality allows it. No municipality does.
It says flushable, which is true. It doesn't say what happens to it after it's flushed, and it doesn't say it's a good idea.
From the same blithering idiots who regurgitate "everything is edible once, huh yuk!" every time inedible mushrooms are mentioned.
get a goddamn bidet.
Let the poop dry on your butthole and then brush it off like your ancestors did for millennia.
they raped and murdered too. I'd like to think we made at least some progress in the last couple of millenia.
I was given that exact red quesadilla maker for a work anniversary. I used it to make quesadillas, ngl.
The absolute madlad
My family had one just like that and we used it for family meals ~ once a week, and it still works today like 15 years later. I think it's neat!
Quesadilla makers are fucking dope that's the only thing I truly disagree with
Reading this on my Apple Watch, while riding my Hoverboard, watching Bio-Dome in the background, and eating a wet-ass Arby's sandwich I smashed into a quesadilla in my Quesadilla Maker... I can't wait until it rockets through my intestines so I can use my Dude Wipes! 😎
Eating wet asses and smashing Dillas and cleaning up with wipes after? That’s quite the sex party you got going on there.
I laugh a little every time see a Dude Wipes billboard. What sucker is out there buying baby wipes for men?
It used to feel gay when my finger would punch through the butt wipe and enter my anus. Thankfully I don't have to feel that way when I'm using Dude Wipes.
It's not gay if it's through the hole in the Dude Wipe
That's because you aren't fingering yourself hard enough
My former roommate had gastrointestinal issues and used wet wipes because they were less irritating to his skin. But he just bought regular wet wipes not this gendered nonsense.
the big selling point i saw is that they are designed to be flushable. not sure if thats actually a good idea for your plumbing.
None of them are legit flushable.
None of the wet wipes are suitable for plumbing regardless of what they say.
Theyre camping wipes, when you dont have access to a shower, theyll do in a pinch.
I don't get the hate for Arby's. The brisket sandwich and their sauce are good as fuck. Maybe it would have made a difference back when they first started and were like 5x more expensive than the competition (their signature sandwich was $0.69 when the next most expensive fast food was $0.10) 🤔
I have a standing theory that people that hate Arby's used too much horsey sauce, or gets older dry meat repeatedly. I don't love the place, but they don't deserve that much hate.
I had Arby's one time, and it was terrible. I would go to literally any other fast food chain over Arby's.
I had an ex who was so excited to take me to Arby's for the first time. It was gross. I held my tongue as she went on about how much she loved their horsy sauce and cheese stuff, but it was nasty. She had terrible taste in food.
The curly fries are good if you can get them hot and, y'know, cooked all the way through. Arby's is very consistently disappointing as an experience.
Yeah I fuck with Arbys, that sauce is dope and the Jamocha shake is pretty good too.
I have a thing for bad gas station food too though so I might not be the best judge.
Well, I don't go there for two reasons -
- Their vegan options don't seem that interesting.
- They don't seem to have a presence in the continent I'm on.
Something we agree on.
Arby's is great! I need some beef and cheddar all up in here.
United we stand
It's not top notch, but depending on what you get they have some gems. The buffalo chicken sandwich is super simple and good.
No, it's not top notch. Is anyone else?
Does McDonald's or burger king make the best burgers? No! Not even close.
You buy that shit because it's there, not because it's good. It's just there and not something you hate. Good enough for Tuesday night I guess.
It's all just salty processed meat block. It's absolute shit compared to the real thing. It's like they are advertising fancy German brats and then serve you a hotdog.
Now these are my kind of ads 🤩
Jumping on the "don't use flushable wipes" bandwagon. Seriously, they can screw your home's plumbing up.
For anyone doubting this is even possible for a product that is mass-marketed and available everywhere, look back a little over a decade. For a hot minute we had scrubs and soaps that had tiny little plastic beads in suspension to provide some grit. All those microbeads got flushed down the drain and wound up who knows where. That is until it was made illegal.
Actually have and use that quesadilla press. Works well enough and saves a little time over doing it on the stove
What? Asshole!
Was gifted it for Xmas, felt hard to clean, the leg broke immediately and temperature was uneven. Glad you liked yours
Yeah qc sucks more and more lately
This image makes me want one. Two sides at a time?! Sick.
Also I love my Apple Watch. It’s sweet for seeing my heart rate go up to 185 after my first 1v99 PUBG win (before bots, thank you very much)
Fuck dude wipes though, that’s a ridiculous concept. Just get a fucking bidet and stop hating your anus (not you, person I’m replying to, but everyone reading this comment. Including you, if you don’t already have one!)
The hoverboards are for kids as far as I can tell. Childhood just isn't the same without some way to bust your face open. Parks got nerfed by a well-meaning child safety crusade that fixed nothing and ruined playgrounds; because the problem wasn't that the playgrounds are dangerous - the problem was that kids are stupid and clumsy so sometimes shit happens and a kid will die tragically. It's literally unavailable, that's what makes it an accident.
Some of these kinds of things - especially "as seen in tv" stuff advertised by fumblebums - are actually intended for people who are partially or wholly physically disabled. But if they market it for disabled people then they'll sell less of them and the price will go up, and because we live in
Americahell, the disabled didn't make nearly enough to survive as is. So they market it to everybody with an over-the-top ad instead. Remember the Snuggy? Literally designed for people in wheelchairs and with mobility issues.The rest is just brand awareness bullshit and market expansion. Seriously, man-wipes exist because they'd hit market saturation and are trying to squeeze out a profit increase by targeting a different demographic. Because in capitalism, the line MUST go up. Brand awareness is just a way of saying "Hey! Pay attention to me, I'm Diet Coke! Don't forget! Are you thirsty now? Pick me!" And the quest part? Both stupid trucks work because people are dumb.
Some of these kinds of things [...] are actually intended for people who are partially or wholly physically disabled.
After I learned this, I immediately felt bad for poking fun at these kinds of products. Normalizing their use by the non-disabled, and depicting the products likewise on TV, makes it that much more acceptable to the intended audience. If this wasn't the case, it might sting a bit as a gift for someone that really needs it. And then there's the economy of scale effect you mention; nobody would get a Snuggy if they cost $100 each.
Awe... I like Arby's. Their curly fries are easily on my top 10 best fastfood fries.
I've had Arby's 5 times. In a wide variety of locations across the States while visiting friends or family. It's delicious, which is why it took me 5 times getting food poisoning to stop eating at Arby's.
The fries are fantastic but not enough to justify the wet ass sandwiches
They sell them frozen in a bag now. So you don't have to eat something that came out of an Arby's kitchen.
The quesadilla maker's pretty useful. Skillets only cook food on one side at a time, you know.
Mine has been sitting in the back of my cupboard for at least a decade. This post just remindied me to donate the thing to Goodwill. There once was a time when I would eat a quesadilla on a regular basis. At this point in life I can't justify having a whole appliance for making only one type of dish.
Yeah, it's only useful if you have the room for it and actually use it.
bio-dome is fucking tite.
Can anyone explain why people hate Arby's?
I know they're pricy... but never understood why there's so much hate for the restaurant.
My favorite fast food restaurant TBH. I don't get it either.
I hate them because the last four times I ate there, I had diarrhea for days, all different locations. The last time I ate there, it all came out 12 minutes later. So yeah, four for four is enough to establish that their "food" is just toxic.
As I replied to someone else. I'm Canadian, but have friends and family in the States. I've had Arby's 5x, and it's delish....which is why it took getting food poisoning from Arby's all over the damn country 5 whole ass times to stop eating there.
It's gross? Let me restate that: It's gross.
To be fair (in judgement on my part), last time I had a roast beef sandwich was in 2018, I've only bought their reubens since then.
It's pretty simple: Arby's is gross.
Wet ass sandwiches, as written in the ad. I don't like Arby's because the bread on their sandwiches is typically stale and is always served cold. Something about roast beef being wet is generally off-putting and most of their sandwiches are roast beef. I think that Arby's being the only mainstream fast food deli has something to do with my low opinion. Hamburgers have some idiosyncrasies as well: cold cheese, lettuce is gross and wilted, different condiment defaults, ground beef is cheap and garbage tier food in the grand scheme of things. But the thing is that every fast food chain is burgers so the specific bad experiences of one chain are contrasted against the other chains. Jack in the box has greaseball burgers that have the consistency of slop, but, because they can be contrasted against Burger King, which has gimmicky food, nasty defaults, and burgers that are assembled sloppily with accoutrement splattered everywhere and cohesiveness scoring firmly in trash tier, they get a pass. I would argue that all fast food is trash food, but the illusion of choice keeps the whole house of ass-flavored cards standing. You can pick a cohesive slop (JITB) or an non-cohesive slapped together proper burger (BK). The flaws of one are mistakenly compared to the defacto standard of the competition when they should be compared to the real standard of actual good food. Arby's doesn't have competition in its space so that defacto standard doesn't exist, leading people to compare it to delis that aren't garbage tier food. There is a competition mismatch and Arby's ends up competing against food outside of its tier, revealing it to be garbage tier. Further discussion is encouraged.
I dunno, I fucking love Arby's.
Me too!
Not my favorite, but their chicken sandwich is okay
I don't care about hoverboards, but a great side effect of their mass production is that you can get a pretty decent brushless motor now for very cheap. I also saw a video about a hack you can do to make it run better at higher RPMs. You can get one of those hoverboard motors for like $30 on ebay and pair it with a $25 ODrive clone from aliexpress. Its good for probably 10 nm of torque at 36v 10a.
I see a hoverboard at my apartment dumpsters practically once a week. I rip them open for the battery pack, its always a stack of 18650s. I guess i should start collecting the motors too?
a stack of 18650s
(you probably already know) but this is common in a lot of battery packs. Batteries for power tools are good sources for the 18650s too. I never checked but I saw someone open a Tesla car battery and they look like a bunch of 18650s inside too.
I refurbish my power tool batteries instead of buying new ones because it is so easy.
I read(yelled) this entirely in Lewis Black's voice.
I would probably hate wet sandwiches too. Glad my Arby's near me doesn't have wet sandwiches. It sucks that even with all the work franchises do to try and make sure each location is as similar as possible, some people just get unlucky that the one they live close to sucks.
The Popeyes here sucks and that annoys me every time I drive by.
We struck gold with our nearby Popeyes. One of my favorites. So good id eat one of their biscuits without something to drink
Thanks now i want a beef and cheddar I reslly miss arby's
I read this in AVGN's voice.
Correct take on Bio-Dome though tbh.
Yeah but when’s the last time they had Bio Dome at the store? What they got at the store be more like:
- Something with Jamie Foxx on the front
- A Fast N Furious movie
- Some cartoon dinosaur thing
- A shiny foil copy of Blade or Blade 2

Arby’s. We try to have the meats.
What the hell are butthole wipes?
They are like tissues, slightly moist with ass liquid sourced from only the top export quality butts in China.
I have Dude Wipes in my car but that's just because I thought they smelled good and they were on sale at Kroger. I have a very dirty and dusty job and some days I gotta wipe the gruel off after a shift.
Arby's can be pretty good if you get stuff other than their regular roast beef. I like their reubens, gyros, and jamocha shakes.
That said, they're definitely not as good as they used to be. I miss their sliced roast chicken sandwiches, both the normal one that came with tomato and shredded lettuce and mayo, but more particularly the "triple cheese and bacon" roast chicken sandwich that they had like 20 years ago with sliced swiss, cheddar sauce, and parmesan spread.
my dad gets the dude wipes, but I get Arby's so apparently I can't judge.
Real shit
I would get a smart watch tbh, I like the idea.
But do you like the idea of Apple farming your medical information? Apple sure loves that idea, that's why they made a watch that can track your steps and read your heart rate, and blood oxygen levels, as well as monitoring sleep patterns and menstrual cycles.
Despite privacy claims; which are just marketing and hold no legal weight; Apple has a history of collecting various types of user data, including device usage, location, health data, and more, as outlined in their privacy policies; which does hold legal weight.Honestly, what I wouldn't do for a smartwatch that could continually monitor my blood sugar. But you're absolutely right. I want that shit going straight to my doctor. No middle men. Fully encrypted. Legally binding.
Just use gadgetbridge with some huawei watch (they don't have vendor pair)
Y'all prefer dry sandwiches?
Arby's is fire, it's just not worth the price
You went too far with Arby's
I like it how Arby's just takes a random stray
@Maven Also all the “As Seen on TV” stuff that’s just hanging around by the checkout aisle.
I buy dude wipes. They're less expensive than regular wipes.
The apple watch one is stupid, almost everyone I've talked to that owns an apple watch bought it because it's one of the best in terms of collecting metadata and stats regarding your heath:
- blood oxygen level
- heart rate monitoring and notifications
- irregular rhythm notifications (like atrial fibrillation)
- can capture an ECG in combination with monitor alert/notifs or any time you want
- fall detection
I could go on and on. The apple watch was a GAME CHANGER for my elderly grandmother as well as my own damn self as heart problems run in my family history.
but go ahead, apple bad and thus anything apple is also terrible and anyone that owns one is an asshole
it’s one of the best in terms of collecting metadata and stats regarding your heath
...and sharing that to Apple, your mobile provider, the government, your health care provider, and every huge business who wants to know everything about you against every single bit of privacy we as human beings should have by default. Apple is an evil corporation (and so is Google, and Amazon, and Microsoft, and tons of others) and the less information you give them, the better. If you want to monitor your health, find a device that YOU control and does not give the information to anyone you do not approve of. (And Apple will say they don't, but it's been shown in the past that this is a huge lie for so many other things they swear to keep private.)
“I’m poor” in so many words
