Had a similar experience recently, although it wasn’t with a total internet stranger.
A college friend of mine who is on a group chat mentioned one of his regrets was getting rid of his copy of a quirky old TSR RPG called “Star Frontiers”.
Turns out I had a copy, so I sent it to him as a surprise!

Worksite immigration raids are supposed to free up jobs for citizens. Here’s what really happens
Research shows worksite immigration raids can depress local economies as people stay home and stop spending money. So far, they aren’t known to free up jobs for citizens.KPBS

I was at the Main Street cafe a while back, and there were some yeehawdists at the table behind me going off about how Mexicans were taking their jobs, and I turned around and said, “Son, I know five farms that need help right now. I can make a phone call and you can be in the field in an hour. Now, bring a hat, it’s hot out here in the sun all day. And gloves, those plants will tear you up. To make minimum wage, you’ll have to hustle, you get paid by the bushel. You wanna finish lunch and go pick some maters, or you wanna shut the fuck up so I can eat my chicken fried steak in peace?”
They shut the fuck up. Silence until they left. And the cook sent me a peach cobbler. 🥳

Can anyone recommend me a similar tent like this? It should have enough space to comfortably fit a family of 4 people.
This is obviously for car camping. Weight is not important. Quality is though!
The roomy vestibule where you can sit and take shelter from bad weather is a hard requirement by my wife.
It's also important that it's certified Bluesign, or something similar. I don't want any harmful chemicals near my family.
It should also preferably be available in Sweden, or at least the EU.
Any recommendations? 😁

9 Sculptures You (Probably) Didn’t Know Existed
From a 50-foot Native American monument overlooking the Missouri River to a surreal hammock strung across a border fence, these sculptures push the boundaries of form, meaning, and public space. Whether constructed from stone, steel, wire, or illusion, each work defies convention — and chances are, you haven’t seen them before. Locations span from Barcelona to Philadelphia, from South Dakota plains to Turkish landscapes.
More: 8 Inspiring Sculptures Seamlessly Integrated with Nature
1. Melancholy — Albert György in Geneva, Switzerland
This bronze sculpture of a seated figure appears hollowed out from within, forming an arched void from chest to head. The minimalist facial features and slumped posture evoke absence and loss, using emptiness as its central element.
2. Window and Ladder – Too Late for Help — Leandro Erlich in Montevideo, Uruguay
A fragment of brick wall with a single window floats mid-air, supported by a ladder that leads nowhere. Placed in an empty lot, this illusion-based sculpture alters space and challenges logic.
3. Border Hammock — Murat Gök in Istanbul, Turkey
Two fence poles curve inward to cradle a man resting in a hammock made from the fence itself. By bending an otherwise rigid border element into a place of rest, the sculpture offers a quiet yet clever political statement.
4. Freedom — Zenos Frudakis in Philadelphia, USA
This bronze wall shows four human forms in various stages of breaking free, culminating in a fully emerged figure stepping into open space. It explores transformation and personal liberation.
5. Giant Slingshot Bench — Cornelia Konrads in Germany
A wooden bench is suspended by two long red straps tied to a massive Y-shaped branch. The setup mimics a slingshot ready to launch, blending utility with playful imagination.
6. Dignity — Dale Lamphere in Chamberlain, South Dakota, USA
Standing 50 feet tall, this stainless steel monument honors Native American women. The figure wears a star quilt composed of blue diamond shapes that shimmer in the wind.
7. The Kiss of Death — Unknown Artist in Barcelona, Spain
This marble sculpture in Poblenou Cemetery shows a skeleton with wings gently kissing the forehead of a lifeless young man. Created in 1930, it’s both romantic and haunting.
8. The Weight of Grief — Celeste Roberge in Portland, Maine, USA
A crouched human form is constructed from a metal frame filled with smooth river stones. The heavy material and posture communicate emotional burden through literal weight.
9. UMI — Daniel Popper in Lisle, Illinois, USA
This monumental figure is composed of sculpted wood and branches shaped into a female form. Her hands and body are formed by intertwining tree limbs, suggesting organic unity.

3. Shuttlecocks by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen in Kansas City
On the lawn of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, you’ll find giant badminton birdies scattered around. These sculptures, called “Shuttlecocks”, were created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. They look like someone started a huge game of badminton and left the birdies behind. Each birdie is 18 feet tall and weighs over 5,000 pounds.
4. Window and Ladder by Leandro Erlich
There’s a strange sculpture by Leandro Erlich called “Window and Ladder – Too Late for Help.” It shows a tall white ladder leading to a brick wall with an open window, floating above a field.
5. Give by Lorenzo Quinn
“Give” by Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn. It shows two giant hands gently holding a growing tree, symbolizing care and responsibility for nature.More by Lorenzo Quinn: Support – Message About Climate Change
6. Giant Slingshot Bench by Artist Cornelia Konrads

7. Safety Pin Sculpture by Claes Oldenburg
At the de Young Museum in San Francisco, there’s a giant “Safety Pin” sculpture created by artist Claes Oldenburg. It turns an ordinary safety pin into something huge and exciting.
8. Zipper Sculpture by Yasuhiro Suzuki
In Tokyo, Japan, there’s a unique “Zipper” sculpture by artist Yasuhiro Suzuki. It looks like a giant zipper opening up the earth, showing a stream of water flowing underneath.
9. Hallow — Daniel Popper in Lisle, Illinois, USA

This right here is bullshit. If this were a Democrat lawmaker instead of the leader of the ultra right wing Freedom f'ing Caucus, they would have held an ethics investigation a year ago when word of this first got out.

The image depicts a cartoon scene inside a coffee shop. A man with glasses, wearing a blue shirt and black pants, is standing at the counter, holding a large drink with whipped cream and a straw. He is handing the drink to a woman behind the counter, who has red hair, glasses, and is wearing a green apron. The woman appears to be a barista. The man is speaking, with a speech bubble above his head that reads, "I CAN STILL TASTE THE COFFEE." The background shows a menu board on the wall and a display case with pastries. The floor has a blue rope barrier, and there is a window on the right side of the image. The cartoon is signed by Mark Parisi and includes a website and email address for purchasing prints.

The image shows a hand holding a square-shaped plastic container filled with a red liquid. The container has a white lid and is transparent, allowing the liquid inside to be visible. The liquid appears to be a beverage, possibly a smoothie or a juice, with a gradient effect, transitioning from a lighter shade at the top to a darker shade at the bottom. The hand holding the container has a dark-colored nail polish on the thumb. The background suggests the container is being held in a car, as part of the car's interior is visible. The text overlay on the image reads, "Not using your straw cause you were a massive rebel who couldn't be tamed."

The top section of the image contains text that reads: "The little smile you give to old people when you walk past them to prove you're not a chav or anything." The first photograph on the left shows a young boy with short brown hair, wearing a white shirt and a dark tie, giving a subtle smile. The second photograph in the top right shows a woman with blonde hair tied back, wearing a black top, looking over her shoulder with a similar subtle smile. The third photograph on the right shows a man with short blonde hair, wearing a gray shirt, also giving a subtle smile. The background of each photograph is plain, with the first and third images featuring a neutral-colored wall, and the second image showing a door and a wall. The overall theme of the meme is to humorously depict the awkward, self-conscious smile people might give to older individuals to avoid being perceived as "chav" or lower-class.

The image is a text-based scenario set in a cafe during a morning shift. It begins with a description of the scene: "I am working a morning shift at a cafe. We are serving breakfast. A little boy and his mother enter the cafe." The text then presents a dialogue: "Me: 'So, what will it be?'" followed by the child's response, "Child: 'I WISH TO DEVOUR THE UNBORN.'" This statement causes a sudden silence, and the mother looks embarrassed. The mother then says, "Mother: 'Eggs... he would like some eggs...'" The text is presented in a simple, black font on a white background, with the dialogue in a larger font size to emphasize the child's statement.

The image is a text-based scenario set in a cafe during a morning shift. It begins with a description of the scene: "I am working a morning shift at a cafe. We are serving breakfast. A little boy and his mother enter the cafe." The text then presents a dialogue: "Me: 'So, what will it be?'" followed by the child's response, "Child: 'I WISH TO DEVOUR THE UNBORN.'" This statement causes a sudden silence, and the mother looks embarrassed. The mother then says, "Mother: 'Eggs... he would like some eggs...'" The text is presented in a simple, black font on a white background, with the dialogue in a larger font size to emphasize the child's statement.

Perhaps it's just me, but I do find it amusing that the GNU Readline 8.3 announcement, in July 2025, gives two FTP URLs as the primary way to obtain the software. I don't remember when I last fired up an FTP client, and my web browser has long since forgotten how to do it too.
Ah, '80s FTP.
I recall a text adventure puzzle where an in-game terminal with an ftp client let you teleport objects. If left in ASCII mode, a transporter-accident "worthless pile of protoplasm" resulted.

The video features a small, cream-colored kitten lying on its back on a gray surface, appearing relaxed with its eyes closed. A person's hands enter the frame, holding a piece of seaweed. The hands carefully place the seaweed around the kitten's body, wrapping it snugly. The kitten remains still and undisturbed throughout the process. The hands then use two chopsticks to gently lift the seaweed, creating the illusion that the kitten is being served as sushi. The kitten continues to lie peacefully, seemingly unaware of the playful setup. The video concludes with the kitten still wrapped in the seaweed, with the chopsticks positioned above it, enhancing the whimsical sushi presentation.

in reply to AaronDavid • • •The image shows a toilet with a wooden seat and lid. The toilet is positioned in a bathroom with patterned tiles on the floor. The wooden seat and lid have a natural wood grain finish and are attached to the toilet with visible hinges. The lid is open, revealing the white toilet bowl. In the background, there is a toilet brush in a holder and a radiator. The text "You had ONE job..." is overlaid on the image in white capital letters, positioned in the upper left corner.
