Tweets That Both Cat People AND Dog People Can Enjoy

When people ask me whether I’m a cat person or a dog person, I say “yes.”

Though I will admit that if I’m going to get one as a pet, it’s more likely to be a cat. I kinda dig their self-sufficiency. They’re got their own projects going on and I can respect that.

In any case, they’re all adorable and wonderful, and these tweets are for anyone and everyone who loves either one.

15. A dumb person

Oh man, sick burn.

14. A lesson in consent

Two pats and that’s ALL.

13. A people person

I had to think about this for a moment but I’m pretty sure it’s correct.

12. An orange one

Hey, that’s a proud heritage.

11. Thems fightin’ words

Don’t wanna go barking up the wrong tree.

10. The hero we need

His heart is in the right place and that’s what counts.

9. Orange strikes back

See? PROUD. HERITAGE.

8. Reject the binary

The abyss they stare into is the haunted zone.

7. Read it again

And again and again.

6. The price you pay

Please rescue, don’t pay breeders.

5. Boundaries

Step back or get the scratch.

4. Spoil the broth

Come on, give ’em a chance.

3. Acceptance

There’s really no denying it.

2. A true bond

Humanity had its chance.

1. Real recognizes real

He’s like two steps away from paying the rent.

Whether you love cats or dogs, you can rest assured you’re a better person than those who love neither.

Which is your favorite and why?

What Food Seems Okay Until You Realize How It’s Made? Here’s What People Had to Say.

We’ve all heard the stories about how hot dogs are made…yuck!

But they sure are delicious, don’t you think?

You know it! But still…kinda gross…

What food sounds fine until you learn how it’s made?

Here’s how AskReddit users responded.

1. Didn’t know.

“I once was at a conference in Japan.

Me and some friends went into a small restaurant for dinner. My French colleague insisted on ordering Foie Gras, besides other things.

I knew the German name for this but not the French one, so I didn’t know what he ordered there until I later called my boyfriend and he told me.

In Germany you can’t even produce Foie Gras due to obvious animal welfare problems with literally force feeding geese into developing a fatty, sick liver just to eat it.”

2. That’s a bummer.

“I was surprised to learn from people who’ve worked on farms just how bloody harvesting crops is.

There’s not really a good way to clear out wild animals so all of them get ripped to shreds by the heavy machinery moving through the fields.

I miss being able to assume no animals d**d making my produce.”

3. Scraps.

“While off-putting I see no problems with some of the “scraps” we eat.

It’s perfectly fine to me that I’m eating the scraps of chicken in chicken nuggets. Gelatin from bones and ligaments. The reject pieces of animal being used to make so many great foods or items. People want to say the Natives had the right idea, using every part of the animal.

But suddenly turning around to say eating black pudding is disgusting? I feel better knowing that we used every ounce of that cow, the cow didn’t d** in vain. The cow was used for milk, once done with that stage sold for meat. The meat market sells the bones for dog bones, gelatin, beef stock, literally anything else. Nothing goes to waste.

Don’t get me wrong the treatment from cow to meat and then the food waste alone is problematic but that’s not what the thread is about. We use every part of every item. ‘Scuse me, I have nuggets in the oven that are ready.”

4. Never had it.

“Black Pudding is a common breakfast food, but kinda messed up when you think about how it’s made.”

5. Hell no.

“Cranberry harvesting.

There are a lot and I mean a ridiculous amount of spiders especially Wolf spiders, everywhere.

They crawl up the machines, they crawl up the people harvesting them it’s a nightmare.”

6. Now that’s ruined.

“Gummy Bears ( or just gummies in general).

Took me 19 years to find out that the way they’re made is with pig carcasses and bones.”

7. Hmmm…

“Cheez whiz. It’s transparent until they add the orange coloring.

I don’t know why but that makes me nope out. Not like Cheez Whiz is a salad or anything, don’t get me wrong.

But I don’t think I fully comprehended just how fake it was until I found that out.”

8. Messed up.

“Goose liver.

The goose has been force fed corn and fatty foods its entire life causing intense strain on the liver as it swells and bloats within their body, resulting in better flavor at significant expense of the goose quality of life.”

9. What’s that smell?

“Gelatine.

Comes from processing cattle faces, noses and ears still attached. I worked in a tannery, the face doesn’t have any viable use once tanned so it’s cut from the rest of the hide.

Fun Fact: the truck only came once a week and the pieces were stored outside in a half walled shed, so during summer the smell could be rather…ripe.”

10. Avoid them.

“Avocados from Mexico.

I just learned about the avocado cartel and how they make more money than the drug cartels and it’s insane. Do some research.

Don’t eat avocados from Mexico.”

11. Wow.

“Fish sauce

I went to a fish sauce factory in Vietnam a few years ago. In a giant silo, they put in 1 tonne of fish, and 1 tonne of salt.

After a year, they open a tap at the bottom of the silo, and hey presto, the liquid that pours out is fish sauce.”

12. Thanks, Grandma.

“My German/Polish grandmother made Czernina – Duck Blood Soup.

Being a good farm wife, she would go out to the shed where my grandfather kept some of his birds (chicken, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, peahens, peacocks and a few more I don’t remember). She usually was able to grab a duck on the first try and slit its throat with the straight edge razor she used for butchering small animals. She would squeeze the blood into her steel Thermos bottle, cap it and butcher the duck (sometimes a chicken).

She would roast or fry the bird and make the Czernina which smells exactly like you would think boiled blood smells like but worse. It would take at least a week for the smell to leave the house.

There were times when she would send me to school with her Thermos bottle (filled with milk this time) to school a day or two after she washed out the blood.

Of course, she also made Jello salad with peas, carrots and corn in it. Also, tuna hot dish. There’s no such thing as a casserole in Wisconsin or Minnesota, its proper name is Hot Dish, that’s a hill I will d** on.”

Are there any foods that you refuse to eat because of how they’re made?

If the answer is YES, please talk to us in the comments.

Thanks in advance!

Verbal Quirks That Are Uniquely Boomer

Social media is a great place to go if you want to feel horrible about yourself.

For instance, if you happen to belong to the generation known as “baby boomer,” you can watch your entire existence get reduced a dismissive catchphrase.

But there is SOME hope. For whatever reason, Twitter seems to be cataloguing a lot of boomer favorites in the language department, and maybe that, if nothing else, will help us all heal.

12. The moving picture show

Hold on, just gotta crank it for a minute or so.

11. Encouraging words

I’ve been told this by older folks even when it is very clearly untrue and honestly, I appreciate it.

10. Cut to the chase

I have a friend who’s like 29 and does this all. The. Time.

9. Definite article

I was just reading about it the other day on the Facebooks.

8. Mutually assured destruction

Gotta remember they grew up hiding under their desks from bombs.

7. Think differently

Is it aware of us? Does it KNOW?!

Don’t care how you say it, just remember to bring me some.

5. The million dollar question

Alright but that had better be a big tip. (It’s not gonna be.)

4. Do it to it

They got places to be, don’t stand in their way.

3. Dinner is served

Um, because that’s clearly hilarious.

2. Stir the pot

I prefer the Devil’s Lettuce.

1. More money

Seriously, they want to be rich.

I think we need to hold onto these phrases. Treasure them. Pass them on to future generations so that they can continue to be enjoyed by all.

What phrase do you think is unique to your generation?

Jaden Smith Has a Restaurant that Feeds the Homeless for Free

Sometimes I look around and the world seems pretty awful.

But that’s big picture. It’s funny because the song “From a Distance” talks about how if you zoom out far enough, the world looks fine and we’re all just people. No hunger, no war, etc. And that’s fair enough. Mother Earth looks pretty beautiful from Space. But all the bad stuff in the world–war, poverty, pandemics–those are all big things. And it’s easy to get overwhelmed by them.

Sometimes you have to put the big picture stuff on hold, and look for hope in the details. Like teenage Mari Copeny, aka Little Miss Flint trying to solve not only the water crisis in Michigan, but to help kids out in other ways too.

Or young Greta Thunberg inspiring an entire generation to work towards climate change. And don’t forget Boyan Slat who, at the age of 18, began to take on ocean plastic. This generation of young people is AMAZING, and there are so many stories of them that make the future seem a lot brighter.

One example is 22-year-old Jaden Smith, off-spring of LA power couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, who is working hard to solve the food crisis in LA. Two years ago, Jaden started a food truck called “The I Love You Restaurant” with a mission of supplying healthy, vegan meals to the homeless on Skid Row for free.

A post shared by I LOVE YOU (@iloveyourestaurant)

The reason behind this act of charity is pretty clear: selfless love for others.

But Jaden didn’t stop there. According to Tank’s Good News:

During the pandemic, Smith found a way to supply care packages to Skid Row that included food, masks, other clothing items, and hand sanitizer.

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by I LOVE YOU (@iloveyourestaurant)

Taking care of those in need is a pretty epic way to exist in the world.

Together with partner Drew FitzGerald, Jaden launched a charity cleverly named 501cthree with a mission centered around “deploying solutions for energy, food, water & shelter.”

They started with a water box to provide clean, filtered water in Little Miss Flint’s domain.

A post shared by 501CTHREE (@501cthree)

Still running the food truck, and popping up in places like the Midnight Mission to scale up their services, Jaden is looking forward to a new endeavor.

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by I LOVE YOU (@iloveyourestaurant)

Next up will be an actual physical dine-in version of the “I Love You Restaurant” food truck, still free for the homeless, but serving the entire community and charging customers who are able to pay, to help fund the endeavor and allow diners to “pay it forward.”

What a remarkable young person. The kids really are all right. I can’t wait to see what they do next.

Do you know of an amazing teen or young adult that is going to do big things in the world? Tell us in the comments.

Lord of the Rings Fan Offers Unexpected Analysis of Boromir’s Demise

JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, along with The Hobbit, have inspired a cult following among readers and movie-goers.

Personally, I enjoyed the movies but never finished the books. (I’m sorry ?)

And I haven’t joined my mother in semi-annual rewatching events.

So when a Tumblr user wrote an essay about the death of Boromir my first thought was which one was that again? (Don’t stone me ?)

And my second thought was is he the one that’s in EVERYTHING? (I looked it up. Sean Bean, and yes.)

But a lengthy, viral thread from Tumblr made me want to go back and rewatch, and give Boromir his due.

SPOILER ALERT – Boromir dies. And the topic of this particular essay is the reason why his death gets more meaningful the older we get.

The user @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels believes this is because Boromir is the every man, the character we may not have aligned ourselves to as children, but who we most identify with as adults.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

It’s an interesting critical analysis worthy of any film studies or literature class, but the user didn’t stop there.

They explained why life beats you down until you are more aligned with the every man than your hero Aragorn.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

The user, @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels, has lived to see some stuff, it seems.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

And when it comes to Tolkien, they know their stuff.

Tolkien embraced the archetype. There’s a reason we all love Aragorn, and it’s not just because of Viggo Mortensen and his beautiful face.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

But Boromir served an integral part of the story. He has agency.

Without him, as with any great character, the story would have turned out differently, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

Then @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels brings it all back into context of modern life.

They explain how like Boromir we tend to be–stuck in cycles of expectation, trying, and failing, and just being human.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

But, they also point out, that there is strength in Boromir’s frailty, in his humanity.

Because he admits when he fails. And he tries and he tries and he tries again.

Just like we all do–or should–or strive to.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

@letmetellyouaboutmyfeels brings it all full circle, showing how Boromir was instrumental, before his death, in handing things off to Aragorn.

They describe how even in his last act, Boromir–human that he was–ensured the final success of the Fellowship.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

They write about the evolution of their heroes, from childhood to teenage-dom to adulthood, and how in adulthood we lose sight of the ideal, and begin to focus on our own humanity and failures.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

They point out again, all of the good that Boromir did, and all of the ways that Aragorn and the others might not have succeeded without him.

Although he was his own worst critic, as are we all, Boromir was not a complete failure. He had success too.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

And that is why his death might hit much harder now than it did as a child.

As a kid, you were probably thinking “Darn, but thank goodness it wasn’t Aragorn! He can still save the day!”

As an adult, you look at Boromir, and you just might see yourself.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

The essay took quite a turn when you realize that it was written by, not someone in their 40s or 50s, but by someone mid 20s who has seen a lot of life.

But there’s a lot of truth in it. What about you? Does Boromir’s death get you every time?

People Talk About Their Wildest “Beyond Tired” Behaviors

Not getting enough sleep can take a huge toll on every aspect of your life.

Most of us aren’t getting enough of it, either because of work, life, or staying up out of revenge despite being tired.

Different people can function on different amounts of sleep, but at some point we all hit that moment when it’s obvious that we better catch some Z’s.

Here are 10 people who have surpassed that point.

1. Laundry is basically just “clothes recycling”

And sometimes I want to throw my dirty clothes away too.

I'm so tired that I just threw my dirty clothes in the garbage and my empty chip bag in the laundry basket.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Politeness to inanimate objects

If they’d said “Sorry,” we’d have just assumed they were Canadian.

This morning I was so tired that I thanked the elevator on my way out.

Image credit: Whisper

3. Been there, but you have to be careful

Apparently this can get very expensive.

I just dropped my phone on my face but I'm so tired that I just let it sit there on my face for a few minutes...

Image credit: Whisper

4. Autopilot is a tricky thing

It’s one more reason I don’t want a smart house.
Too. Many. Codes.

I'm so tired that I put my phone password in the microwave to heat up pizza. I need a break.

Image credit: Whisper

5. I like that it’s a someTHING and not a someONE

Tell the truth, were you flipping off the masses while drinking tea?

I was so tired that when I went to flip something off I violently stuck up my pinkie

Image credit: Whisper

6. It has a certain ring to it

And makes about as much sense as leggings so why not?

The other night when I was really tired I referred to my legs as 'skin pants'

Image credit: Whisper

7. I’ll see your exhaustion and raise you one

Because when I’m really tired, I don’t even hear the alarm.

Today I woke up and I was so tired that I thought my hand was my alarm. I stayed in bed for 10 minutes trying to shut my hand off 😑

Image credit: Whisper

8. They might be more than tired

That one is a little hard to fathom! I need more details.

I'm so tired that I put my headphones in my nose and started crying because I thought I went deaf.

Image credit: Whisper

9. This one doesn’t seem ridiculous to me

If you can blow on things to cool them down, why not to warm them up?

I was so tired that I blew on my ice cream to cool it off... I only noticed after it was all gone...

Image credit: Whisper

10. My favorite reaction of all time

Maybe the world would be a better place if we asked ourselves this more often.

Once I was so tired that when I saw my reflexion I asked out loud 'Who the f are you?'

Image credit: Whisper

Those people are all really tired, and honestly I worry about their overall health.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve done when you were uber-tired?

Times When People Uncovered Some Huge Loopholes

There are all kinds of loopholes in the world, I think – big, small, in between – and ones that can have a huge impact on the people who find them…or really small ones.

Most of us are willing to bend the rules in some circumstances, though, it’s just a question of how far and how big you’re willing to go.

These 12 people gave no f**ks about your rules, and honestly, it’s sometimes hard to blame them.

12. How do they live with themselves?

Also, man he’s got some good medication.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

11. Don’t expect your sub to be a full 12 inches.

That’s not what “footlong” means at Subway, friends.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

10. If they’re not human, what are they?

A question for the ages, my friends.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

9. I am doing a slow-clap.

Just put your minds to it, friends.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

8. Who made this rule to begin with?

I mean I think we know the answer to that.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

7. This one of the best drawings I’ve seen.

I need this framed, to be honest.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

6. Not technically sugar free.

There are so many “rules” like this one that are so arbitrary.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

5. The more you know…

The oldest profession in the world.

Image Credit: Ebaum’s World

4. Ooh I don’t know how I feel about this.

People Share Free Resources Available to Everyone That We Should Take Advantage Of

Who doesn’t love free things?

I’m pretty sure 99.9999% of the population does…but that’s just off the top of my head…

And today we’re gonna get all kinds of great info that you might not know about.

What are some good free resources people should be taking advantage of?

Here’s what people said on AskReddit.

1. That’s awesome.

“I was stunned to find out our local library has telescopes you can check out, musical instruments, even a 3-D printer where you only pay for the printing material.”

2. Take a look.

“The Internet Arcade where you can play a lot of classic games along with the Console Living Room which is similar.

They have access to tons of old PC games too and you can even play the original Oregon Trail online. There’s a lot more in their software section too.”

3. Good to know.

“If you’re concerned about your kid’s development (speech, physical, emotional, etc) you don’t have to wait until they are school aged to get services.

Ask at you school district office to have someone come and see if you kid qualifies to have a specialist come to your house (or their daycare if you work) to help out your kiddo.

It’s through the school district, so it’s completely free.”

4. Booyah!

“FilmRise channels on YouTube.

Full length episodes of really cool documentary-style tv shows (including old-school Unsolved Mysteries).”

5. Nice!

“If you live in the United States, you can access a system of volunteer master gardeners who have been trained and certified. They are often an adjunct of the states education and agricultural systems.

They have online classes (due to COVID) and (later) in person classes. You can call help desks, send email, and visit web pages for advice on growing pretty much anything in your residential garden.

Farmers already know about the parent organizations. The master gardener groups were set up to offload residential questions from the ag experts.

Note: They cannot advise about growing cannabis, but -cough cough- whatever helps your tomatoes grow works for pot.”

6. Use it or lose it.

“The Butterball hotline on Thanksgiving for turkey-day tips and tricks.

The West Wing taught me that one.”

7. Very useful.

“PDF24 is a free, simple PDF reader and editor that is a great alternative to paid software- for most people’s needs.

Would especially recommend for students.”

8. Great!

“Free classes online!!!!

It’s so cool dude, EdX, through Harvard, MIT, I know I’m missing some other’s.

They offer online courses for free.

If you want the certificate at the end of the course, you pay $50.

I learned about John Snow, and the Cholera epidemic of 1854, a psych corse, and currently thinking about starting another.

You get to watch lectures from their professors, you have assignments due at certain times, quizzes, and then the final.”

9. A great resource.

“The Library of Congress, specifically the searchable newspaper archives

https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/

The amount of info in there is staggering.”

10. Academia.

“Outline.com to read articles that are behind a paywall.

And if you read scholarly journals and want to read someone’s paper that’s behind a paywall, you may be able to get it from the author by contacting them directly.”

11. Helpful.

“If you receive SNAP or EBT benefits, many states have programs to pay for you to take one certification course/trade at a local community College.

Just look up the program for your state.”

12. Get ‘er done!

“The Los Angeles Public Library has a free high school diploma program for anyone who is looking to receive their high school diploma.”

13. Serving the community.

“Food banks besides the “official” ones or the Salvation Army.

CHURCHES. Serious, a ton of churches of all denominations have food banks where you can go.

At some, you not only get frozen meats and canned goods but donated local produce like fruits and veggies or chain/small business donations of bread/sweets.

Since COVID, a lot of places might be running dry but just open the phone book and call around and ask.

Also “Mission” services, they don’t always just help the homeless – if you’re down your luck you can score free meals and other essentials like diapers, formula, etc.”

14. FYI.

“Dial 2-1-1 for essential community services anywhere in America.

Basic Human Needs Resources – including food and clothing banks, shelters, rent assistance, and utility assistance.

Physical and Mental Health Resources – including health insurance programs, Medicaid and Medicare, maternal health resources, health insurance programs for children, medical information lines, crisis intervention services, support groups, counseling, and drug and alcohol intervention and rehabilitation.

Work Support – including financial assistance, job training, transportation assistance and education programs.

Access to Services in Non-English Languages – including language translation and interpretation services to help non-English-speaking people find public resources (Foreign language services vary by location.)

Support for Older Americans and Persons with Disabilities – including adult day care, community meals, respite care, home health care, transportation and homemaker services.

Children, Youth and Family Support – including child care, after-school programs, educational programs for low-income families, family resource centers, summer camps and recreation programs, mentoring, tutoring and protective services.

Do you know of any great free resources that we should all be using?

Please tell us about them in the comments.

We’d really appreciate it!

These People All Somehow Failed At Their Jobs

I’ve had a lot of jobs over the years. Some long term, some short. All sorts of disciplines and areas of expertise, or a complete lack thereof.

But whatever I do, I strive for excellence. I just wanna do it right, if only to prove that I can. I think most of us feel this way, which is why it can be so jarring to watch someone with a single job to do completely biff it somehow.

That’s the entire gist behind r/OneJob, where we collectively memorialize the job that was supposed to be done, and the thing that now stands in its place.

10. PlayBox

Meanwhile Nintendo doesn’t even have a seat at the table.

9. In memory

Whoa whoa spoilers, I haven’t even seen three through ten yet.

8. Reduce, reuse, recycle

The most vital step toward a more sustainable future is clear communication.

7. In case of emergency

I feel like this is the beginning of a Saw movie and it’s just Jigsaw taunting everybody.

6. The key

What if I don’t wanna be fri? You can’t tell me what to do.

5. Sly like a fox

He’s in disguise. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

4. New paint job

Can we like coordinate on our stencils or whatever?

3. You put the lime in the box, you nut

And shake it all up.

2. The Liren Kring

Scar! Brother! Save me!

1. Cheese on the side

Lactose intolerant people be like.

Here’s hoping they all found jobs they could do a little bit better.

Have you ever failed big at your one job?

Off-Putting Animals That Might Just Appear in Your Toilet

I love all animals. I think mice are cute, I don’t kill bugs, even in the house (unless they’re flies or will sting/bite me) and I go out of my way to be kind, indoors or out.

But listen. Some animals are just inherently more dangerous than others, and the fact that some of the scarier ones could grab you at one of your most vulnerable moments – sitting down on the potty – is enough to give the kindest heart the heebie-jeebies.

If you’re wondering what sort of horror show could possibly show up in your toilet, come along – here are 5 that you probably wouldn’t want to sit on.

5. Snakes

Image Credit: Pexels

This is probably my number one fear, and that’s just a regular snake showing up in my house – in 2015, San Diego Animal Control removed a 5.5 foot-long boa constrictor from a toilet. Someone had noticed there was excessive water in the bowl, but when they used a plunger, something came up instead of flowing out.

She described it as “every person’s worst nightmare,” and it’s hard to argue.

Snakes popping out of toilets seems to be fairly common, and they can be dangerous. Cover up your bits and call an expert if it happens to you.

4. Frogs

Image Credit: Pexels

Frogs aren’t exactly scary, but they do jump, and every horror movie buff will tell you a jump scare will do the trick just fine in a pinch.

Millions of people have found frogs hanging out in their toilet bowl )or more than one). Experts advise putting a mesh screen over the toilet vent and keeping lights off at night, if you seem to have an issue with it.

3. Rats

Image Credit: Pexels

Rats can do anything they put their minds to, and crawling up pipes into your house is no exception. If you search YouTube you can find many, many people who have posted videos of rats entering their homes via the toilet, and pest control expert Eddie Marco confirms it could happen to anyone.

“It happens all the time, especially if you live in the basement or a first floor apartment. The pipe is empty, the rat crawls through the pipe and up over the hump and into the porcelain. And he can’t get back out.”

Maybe one day they’ll figure out that little trick, and then we’ll never know if they come and go.

I think that sounds worst, actually.

2. Opossums

Image Credit: Pexels

People tend to rag on opossums because they’re not exactly adorable, but they’re harmless and actually eat gross stuff, like ticks, so they’re ok by me.

I did not know they enjoyed a nice swim sometimes, though, but people have found them – big and small, dead and alive – in their toilet bowls.

Treat them kindly if they’re alive!

1. Squirrels

Image Credit: Pexels

Squirrels are just rats with fluffy tails, and they have some of the same bad habits of getting themselves into situations they can’t find a way out of – which includes exploring pipes and ending up in your toilet bowl.

If you can get it safely out and release it, great. If not, there are experts who are ready and willing to help.

I do not know for sure how I would handle any of these situations, but I think not well.
