Let’s not forget this important social purpose of freedom of speech:

It helps to figure out whom to avoid.

steampunkanachronism:

How to fold a t-shirt in just 2 seconds…

That is pretty much how I do it after watching those Japanese tutorials.

anglophonic:

“Swissmiss” portable bike lane.

PORTABLE BIKE LANE.

Want.

Alan: I’ll be waiting. So far looks like you had lots of whiskey. Did you even talk to anyone? Let’s see how this one goes.

Froggie: It is disturbing. Awesomely disturbing, yes. Are you helping each other with your facial hair? It is not working!!

paxmachina: Always forgive your enemies.

I wish I still took people seriously.

HOW TO WRITE GOOD →

alphabetasoup:

My several years in the word game have learnt me several rules:

1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They’re old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren’t necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.”
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.
14. Profanity sucks.
15. Be more or less specific.
16. Understatement is always best.
17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be avoided.
21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
23. Who needs rhetorical questions?

the nerdy english/writing/rhetoric minor part of me loves this kind of thing…
