Someone should have replied that those are rubber bullet seeds. Just plant them in your backyard and watch them grow!

Interestingly, quite a few people failed to recognize the hilarity of that tweet, and codified it as fact.

Here's one example I found:

Now, a bit of fact-checking is in order.

SocialNews.xyz is owned by AGK Fire Inc, which describes itself as a "Media/News Company." However, AGK Fire appears to consist of one Indian guy who created an Android app which allows the side-loading of applications onto the Amazon Firestick. And then he also decided to create a blog, which evolved into one of those sites where the owner offers to pay "contributors" $20 a pop to create clickbait articles.

Not making this up: http://agkfire.com (Yes, I've back-traced the ownership of both domains.)





Anyway, after putting the lotion into the basket, I came across this fellow, who decided to attempt to fire earplugs as target rounds, specifically in response to Ryan J. Reilly's very public faux pas. And was successful:





And then this other fellow, who questioned whether the above video was factually correct, and repeated the experiment. Successfully:






So, in a bizzare sort of way, Ryan J. Reilly was made to be correct after the fact, by two dudes who probably didn't intend for that to happen.

^ Just out of curiosity, I weighed some earplugs on my little micro scale and noted that they are approximately 0.5 grams a piece.
Considering that, I am confident that I'd much rather take one of them the the head than a legitimate (and much heavier) rubber bullet**.

That being said, I guess I am most surprised by the energy being derived just from the primer in those videos.

Huh.

Today I learned that pistol duelling, using wax bullets and protective gear somewhat resembling that used in fencing, enjoyed a brief popularity in the early 1900s, and was featured as an exhibition sport at the 1908 London Summer Olympics.

Did Biden continue with the DNA testing, or is it open season for child sex trafficking?

So, I'm affiliated with a rescue foundation. Would you please stop referring to this as "child sex trafficking"? Instead, it would be more accurate to say the far uglier/awkward/enraging phrase "Child Rape Trafficking". It isn't sex. They are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. Look at any playground in the US for an example if you don't know what a 8-11yr old looks like.

What Scott does not realize is that, for those of us who have come to really embrace urban life, pooping in buckets in subway stations is simply part of the everyday texture of life.

Somewhere, I have a photo of a truly remarkable poo which I found standing straight up about 5" high, somewhere in SoHo. This was in the pre-smartphone era, so it's not in an easily-searchable index. We had a contest here on the forum to design a T-shirt logo which featured the poo, and there were some genuinely impressive submissions.

Apparently border towns have to deal with it too.



good thing Biden locked down the borders to keep us safe from foreign invaders, and COVID-19, and staph.

Disclaimer: I am not an anti-vaxxer. I just find this humorous.
