The Distract me from 2020s P&CE Thread Part Trois

I saw it after I posted.

 

Yup. They already are amongst us, as we can't tell the difference.
The Neanderthalers left us caves, we didnot like for housing. Our replacers simply wait for us to dissappear and take our lovely houses.

 

Or opposing thumbs.

 

They got it in the genetic blueprint. Just waiting to be woken up in the right time.

 

dis·tract
/dəˈstrak(t)/

• divert (attention) from something.
  "it was another attempt to distract attention from the truth"
• divert one's attention from something worrying or unpleasant by doing something different or more pleasurable.
  "I tried to distract myself by concentrating on Jane"
• archaic
  perplex and bewilder.
  "horror and doubt distract His troubl'd thoughts"

We appear to be be leaning into archaic horror and doubt rather than the Jane before us. Pity.

 

Extraordinary footage of a strike-slip fault in action.

 

That's insane -- before I checked it on YouTube I would've sworn that was the Central Valley of California. Growing up we had a local band named "San Andreas Fault."

 

San Andreas is a saint, he has no faults.

 

Of course he does. He owns the Fawlty Towers in Torquay England!

 

Not an unfair assumption

Up to the top of the Shasta Gulch
And to the bottom of the Tahoe Lake
Manmade deltas and concrete rivers
The south takes what the north delivers
You film hack, I don't use your faaaaade

 

All that's needed is one decent size earthquake and it'll be surfs up!

 

Says the billionaire....

Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick suggested this week that only "fraudsters" would complain about missing a monthly Social Security check, and that most people wouldn't mind if the government simply skipped a payment.
What they're saying: "Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law, who's 94, she wouldn't call and complain," Lutnick — a billionaire former Wall Street CEO — told the billionaire "All In" podcast host Chamath Palihapitiya.

 

The real trash is from Oildale.

 

Hey is Zingo's still there? Many fond memories

 

Hey @dark knight you might want to look into this!

How does Batman Shampoo exist but not Conditioner Gordon!

A French Bulldog Had a Seizure When No One Was Home. Incredible Video Captured the Other Dog's Reaction

“At 12:15, Yogi started having seizures, and within the first hour, he had at least 10 grand mals, but Reggie's instincts kicked in and he rolled Yogi over, saving him from aspirating,” the pet owner wrote.

 

A seventh original Magna Carta has been found. Harvard thought it was just an old copy. Apparently they paid $27 for it after WWII.

Hey Germy...stop by the house, I'll donate!

 

Xenu - why have you forsaken me?!

Tom Cruise plans to make movies into his 100s. His secret to staying young at 62 is free, simple, and seen in centenarians.

Xenu's a quite powerful dude. Superhero-ly speaking:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu

 

That read is by turns fascinating and hilarious. I have many favorite statements but this one still tops the list:

The church avoids mention of Xenu in public statements and has gone to considerable effort to maintain the story's confidentiality, including legal action on the grounds of copyright and trade secrecy.​

Copyright and trade secrecy? Imagine if learning the 10 Commandments required an NDA.

 

It is truly one f'd up cult that has many famous adherents. The leader's wife has been MIA for years.
