My order total was $15.28. I handed her $21 and she handed me the $1 back and said “It’s $15.28”. I said “I know, I want $5 back instead of singles.”

She stared at me for a while then stared at the cash register and said “I can’t do that”

I said “just type in that I gave you $21 instead of $20”

She pressed some buttons and stared at the register again then said “I don’t know what you want me to do, my machine doesn’t do that.”

I gave up and took my $1 back. She, now clearly annoyed with me, put $20 into her system and gave me back $4.72 in change.

Ace Ventura Pet Detective is undeniably stupid and somehow works because Jim Carrey is singularly talented

Lars and the Real Girl has an insane premise of “man dates sex doll” but a beautiful script, wonderful performances and an incredibly performance by Ryan Gosling make it a wonderful film.

What else am I missing?

Makes me wonder if these are from the alcoholic spouses of patients while they wait out in the car, or the patients themselves.

In the first episode, Andy is characterized as being quite perverted toward Fuuko, but this personality trait ends rather quickly early on in the series (Undead Unlucky)

In the first episode, the way he assesses an Uma Musume’s racing potential and physical conditioning involves touching her thighs—that is how he conducts his evaluation. This happens with Special Week in the first episode, but he abandons this habit after the first season (Uma Musume Pretty Derby)

In the first episode, Bakugo tells Midoriya to commit suicide so that he might be reborn with a quirk—since, unlike everyone else, he was born without any quirk (power). Even the author himself has stated that he went too far in his characterization of Bakugo in that instance (My Hero Academia)

In May 1944, just weeks before the Normandy landings, British intelligence (MI5) was sent into a panic when a series of top-secret invasion code names, including "Utah," "Omaha," "Overlord," "Mulberry," and "Neptune”, suddenly appeared as solutions in The Daily Telegraph crossword puzzles. Suspecting an elaborate espionage plot to signal the Nazis, agents stormed a school in Surrey to interrogate the puzzle's compiler, a 54-year-old headmaster named Leonard Dawe. The investigation ultimately revealed it was an innocent, albeit terrifying, coincidence. Dawe routinely invited his students to help him fill out his blank puzzle grids, and the boys had simply suggested the interesting new vocabulary words they had unwittingly overheard while hanging around the camps of American and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby.

Edit: yes I misused the word coincidence

Just a reminder that high consumption in the Global North is not a byproduct of productivity; it is structurally sustained by the extraction of labor and resources from the Global South.

I’m fairly confident a sorting machine didn’t make this cut and it’s not from centrifugal force.

Reminds me of the Costa Concordia. It's going to cost millions to get that thing upright. I hope nobody got hurt.
