I had to Google it. Mr. Pembrose is the eyeball lying on the couch. Lacking a body, he is physically incapable of doing anything. That's why he's angry at the world: he exists but can barely participate in existence.

I'm not sure I get the joke. Is it simply the dissonance of a butcher shop being named after a children's story?

Relics of Mary Magdalene by kersploosh in c/wikipedia@lemmy.world
[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Collecting body parts goes back centuries. For example, embedded within every sanctified altar in every Catholic church is a relic from a saint. The first-class (most desirable) relics are body parts.

Private ownership of saints' relics used to be expressly forbidden. AFAIK it is now simply heavily discouraged. So you might have trouble making a business out of it, unless you can convince the church that you are legit.

And good luck getting permission to authenticate any of the existing ones. God specifically said you're not supposed to put Him to the test.

Big 90's nostalgia right there. I remember my friend's dad bought a laser disc player for their giant rear projection TV. We watched Top Gun and it was the most awesome thing ever.

Swimming! The summer heat is here (it was 98F/36C today) and the neighborhood pool is open, so there is no better place to be in the afternoons.

I'm sure it's been years. I tell myself I maintain my bikes well, but I'll be honest: I usually ride it 'till something breaks. I was asking for this one.

I lost four spokes on my morning commute when the chain decided to jump off the big cog. Of course I don't have a spoke protector. (Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won't happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s) I was lucky to skid to a stop rather than crash when the rear wheel locked up.

PSA: keep a few zip ties in your repair kit.

Happy midsummer!

I visited Sweden years ago. On the trip I was invited to join a family's midsummer party. It was lots of fun!

I hope I can go back some day. It's a fantastic country.

Whale fall (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 5 days ago by kersploosh@sh.itjust.works to c/wikipedia@lemmy.world

A whale fall occurs when the carcass of a whale has fallen onto the ocean floor, typically at a depth greater than 1,000 m (3,300 ft), putting them in the bathyal or abyssal zones. On the sea floor, these carcasses can create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades.

I didn't expect to see this in the rural western US.

Please pardon the water drops in the image. I was shooting through a car window.

A better picture of the flag is on Wikipedia:

Trump's Civil Trial Has No Jury Because 'Nobody Asked' for One, Judge Explains by kersploosh in c/usa@lemmy.ml
[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 187 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

TL;DR, the AG asked for a bench trial, Trump's defense team didn't respond, and so Trump gets a bench trial. It's possible that a jury trial would have been disallowed in this particular case under New York law, but the defense didn't even bother to ask.

Whelp, that's on your people, Donald. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
