This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've seen this phenomenon many times over the years, while walking the dog out behind our house. The cables wiggle between these two particular power poles, but NOT between the adjacent poles (or any others, along this pole line). There is no wind, no earthquakes, no herds of animals or large vehicles/machinery anywhere nearby when this is happening. I honestly have no idea why this happens sometimes. Thoughts? I mean, sure, it's probably ghosts, right? But any other explanation would be appreciated...

...that's the title this picture was given on the wikipedia article about capybaras. Is it just me or does that sound like the title of an unreleased Dr. Seuss book?

Everything was reported and changed, fairly quickly to our luck. Another charge was denied the next day.

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

I was going through a box ov old stuff and found my computer notebook (a little black diary) from around 2001-2003.

Of the hundred of entries only three logins still worked:

  • Gentoo forums
  • slashdot
  • ~~one other I can’t remember atm~~ The other was Yahoo

And of all the websites and apps 90% no longer exist or the logins are dead

Sorry for a photo of a phone screen. I had trouble screen capturing the notification shade.
