What the hell bro. There two of the same number trams one after the other. I decided to get on the second one because way more empty. Second tram driver signalling at me like crazy to get on the first one instead?? Why. They still stopped and let me on but why you gotta be like that

The second one is a body double

I was expecting you to point out that the second one is not for those of this world...

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

To be a body double means either a twin or a skin walker, which in this case is the latter. It is still of this world but may not be safe for humans.

fake towns were built for atomic testing, weren't they
