We haven't invented blinds yet, that's how backwards we are apparently
No we're not.
We're really not.
Yes you are. BBC says it so it has to be true. You just probably don't remember doing it and can't see it on the windows.
Did you came here for the 5 minute argument or the 30 minutes one?

fine. i’ll go watch that skit again. ❤️

You’re getting left behind then. Come on, get on with it!
The French: say non to anglicisms: it’s not “e-mail”, it’s «courriel», and you don’t “download”, you «télécharger».

Shade=good!

Sunglasses= well, you got this one
The French make sunglasses look good.
I'll never be as cool as this guy.
For sure
Nah if you don't hate poor people you are, in fact, cooler than this guy
I haven't seen this yet, but it wouldn't surprise me because I had the same idea. People are trying everything because every shop is sold out of fans and mobile AC units, and the mylar film stuff. Crazy. Even spray bottles.
Chalk's not paint...
If you mix crushed chalk with water, it becomes paint-like and can be painted onto things. Which is what they are doing.
Stucco on the window
Would be a decent band name.
No, but paint can be chalky.

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.
