“i also choose this guy’s dead wife” was easily the #1 funniest thing to ever be written on the internet.
you can know the punchline but you can’t stop it from punching you.
i do also feel the need to add that phil8248 really liked the joke. he said his wife had always had a dark sense of humour, even about her illness and death, and seeing the joke made him feel like he was laughing with her one last time.
A survivor drags a former concentration camp guard by the hair while American troops look on at the newly liberated Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp, April 1945.
Why do we never see these photos, only photos of helpless starving people? Why are Jews only depicted as helpless and sniveling? Why is despair the only Jewish emotion that gets shown, not anger or strength or determination or joy?
I want everyone to see this.
My grandfather was one of the American troops who “liberated” Buchenwald. In reality, the survivors found out the allied troops were on their way through a homemade radio. They had guns stored and ready when the time came. many of the guards who hadn’t fled yet were killed by the inmates. My grandpa was always adamant that, in part, “they liberated themselves”
so my apartment building got a notice board to post fire alarm tests and maintenance announcements and such. the building is pretty well-maintained, so we rarely get notices. the board is big and grey and to think it would be empty like that 99% of the time was a bland boring sin i just couldn’t bear, so i vandalized the corner of its empty canvas with a teeny tiny Guy
and within a few days, there was a sudden addition from my one of my neighbors along with a Bunch of thumbtacks. this was an unexpected, but welcome surprise!
well there was still so much space, i figured i’d add another crumb to the art hoard. i’d been playing genshin that day so i drew my favorite grandpa
and like clockwork, new art manifested!! this person is gonna grow to be a great artist i know it. the detail in those stones? hell yeah that’s cool.
we’re two weeks into it. more neighbors have joined in with their artwork. who knew there were so many artists in my building?? we’re onto somethin great here i just know it.
update: ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS DREW VENTI TO GO WITH MY GENSHIN GRANDPA I’M —

JOJO HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
This is what ‘living in a community’ is supposed to mean
This is about as unrelated as it gets, but I was once on a cooking competition show as background. I had a prep list, and while the contestants were front-stage, I was in the back of the shot, doing the prep list, looking chef-y, alongside some other BG. The prep list was double-duty, it was also making stuff for the contestants to use later, but our main job was just to make the kitchen look busier. I imagine that in most shots I was in, I was at best an out-of-focus blur behind the main shot.
So at the beginning, the contestants are showing off their knife skills and making little fruit sculptures or whatever, IDGAF, and they were being interviewed at the same time. “What does cooking mean to you?” and that kind of stuff.
I … was not supposed to be interviewed. I was BG. The interviewer apparently, did not know who was a contestant and who was BG, so they came over to me. And after all of these eloquent long-winded philosophy-and-dream guided answers, they come to me, and go “What is cooking?”
And me, deep in focus on looking professional and getting the prep list done and not listening to the interviews, aware that I’m not supposed to talk or be talked to (I’m not paid for speaking lines!), but also aware I am the focus right now, but also aware that they will cut this out of the televised part and I can relax and shrug him off, but also suddenly aware there’s still a live audience and I can’t just shrug him off, but also confused because I didn’t realize he was fishing for a deep philosophical answer: “Cooking is making food”.
Well. I got a laugh out of the live audience, and they must have decided to keep the line because my pay was upgraded from “SSE” (Special Skills Extra) rates to “Speaking” rates.
It's snowy here, and I was walking past a 3-ish story building. I saw a crow land on top, I'm but didn't think anything of it. About 30 seconds later, I get showered by snow from above. I have my suspicions, but no proof, so I watch the crow for a bit. Sure enough, the crow pushes some snow off the roof onto the next person to walk by. Mischievous birb.
