A bit different but similar: getting a valid ID card in the Philippines requires at least two valid IDs.

It would be a shame if you had you wear pants to shop. I only wear shorts!

No they're not. That's not how inventing works. That's just how ideas and imagination works.

This is because Da Vinci's intention (as far as we can tell) when drawing and diagramming those devices was to conceptualize an object in the context of reality, not fiction.

A sci-fi writer uses prose to describe, sometimes in technical detail, an object in a fictional universe, with an implicit understanding that it is not meant for fabrication, but for entertainment.

Trust me this wouldn't fly in America either lol. Great country to be a white cis male :')..

Unless if there are feathers sticking up your but

Wait, really?

Nope. But you require an internet connection and money at the very least. And I guess a place of residence

And why do they call it Ovaltine? The jar is round, the mug is round, they should call it Roundtine.

It was the same with covid masks a couple years back. Needed to buy a mask but couldn't go in the store to buy one.

Bloody nightmare.

Nah, my grandmother made me a jacket made of leftover drapery cloth. It has chickens on it, and it has never been worn. 🤣

The real shower thought is in the comments.

I am. Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?

U can go with only socks on and call yourself darwen

True story, I was at the lake and my son dropped a 500$ rod and reel setup off the boat. I dove in and got it but got my shirt covered in mud and moss. So when I got back to the marina I had my shirt off and went in to buy a shirt, but they wouldn't let me in without a shirt. So I made them bring me one outside to try on and then went in to pay for it...

And if someone puts a cigarette out on the new leather coat you've just acquired, do not be alarmed as the burn mark will be gone the next time you look at it.

Well, I’m on the phone with my friend Bob Saccamano, and I realize right then and there that I need to return this pair of pants. So, I’m off to the store. I’m waiting for the subway, It’s not coming, so I decided to hoof it through the tunnel. Well, I don’t know if I lost track of time – or what, but the next think I knew, I slipped – and fell in the mud. Ruining the very pants I was about to return.

There’s a difference between drawing up complex schematics and imagining somethig. No offence to H. G. Wells but he didn’t invent a time machine because he wrote about a man who did.

Why is that paradoxical?

I like to yogi bear it, personally. Hat and tie and nothing else.
