  • This is my time to shine, my body is full of useless, I can:

    • gleek intentionally (saving people a search: it’s causing the salivary glands under your tongue to shoot saliva, people often do it unintentionally when yawning)
    • open my jaw wide enough that it goes out of socket, and twofer I can then move it side to side and produce a loud popping noise
    • bend my thumb down to my wrist
    • cause my heart rate to spike for short periods even when at rest
    • make a three leaf clover with my tongue
    • click my tongue extremely loudly











  • Might be a solid strategy to combat debt collection agencies. They buy overdue debt at steep discounts and then harass people and collect on some portion, enough to make a profit overall. Dealing with sovcits probably has negative expected value vs whatever debt they are trying to collect.

    Can you imagine sovcits unintentionally doing societal good by sovciting debt collection agencies? The mind boggles.




  • Interestingly there’s a German company that ran a kickstarter campaign to produce a line of bottles purportedly using this glass hardening process. I have no idea if they are any good, but it seems cool that the process is being put back into commercial use.

    There’s also some western counter parts that were (and are) known for being difficult to break like Corelle. I actually have a few bowls from my Grandmother’s set from 30-40 years ago that are still in daily rotation that have outlived everything else I’ve bought in the meantime.
