Cold snap in the winter: “winter weather advisory” Hot spell in the summer: “heat advisory” 🤔

CMV: iPhone notifications should be delayed until you are done using the camera

Tired of these three-cell bodges for devices obviously designed with a 3.7V lithium ion battery in mind

Do we know for a fact that the Trump administration is not using policy papers written by my moron classmates in 8th grade social studies

Are these smelly people using whole body deodorant ashy or what? Hard to conceive of using deodorant and moisturizer on the same parts

“Deluxe Remasters” should give first billing to the producer for those album tracks

Zuck challenging Elon to a match had to be the shortest face turn in fight history
