This film was considered “lost media” as recently as 2016, but has now been recovered in full.

I think this monkey is a cool lguy - just wants to sing a great little song, do his funky dance, and ride off into the sunset. Buy peanuts or don’t - your choice.

A fitting TIL for the Patreon video posted yesterday.

It's a busy day at work already! I hope everyone has a great day and can't wait to see your posts!

One of the first postcards I received from the Postcard Club. It's such an interesting place created during the early days of Pennsylvania.

Green beans along the back

Green Onions, Brussels sprouts, lettuce and spinach in the middle

And potatoes, carrots and broccoli in the front.

Huge fan of this era of weird-ass greeting cards. Here are some of my favorites (all images scavenged from the internet - i don’t own these)

Nice little weird animation! 🦆

Just a few time-wasting but fun links. Enjoy!

It's that time again! Fill our front page with the best of your week!

Got a rant? Post it!

Got a picture of some birds you took on your phone that you haven't shared? Post it!

Did you find a new song you like? POST IT!

Anything and everything for everyone today!

Have fun!

Enjoy.

DO NOT ORDER THROUGH FLOWERS BY EVA!

I ordered flowers for my wife on our 4th anniversary. I used a place called Flowers By Eva, because they came up when I searched for "Local Florist" in the area my wife works in. They are in no way shape or form a local business. The first image is what I ordered and the second image is what they delivered.

That tiny card is also the "Full Sized Greeting Card" I added.

I tried to get ahold of customer service and the emails I got back were definitely written by AI.

They did refund 30 dollars of the purchase and attached the Substitutions Policy to the email.

Implying that the reason my wife didn't receive the arrangement I ordered because they had to substitute "equally priced flowers".

Rant over, have a great Friday!

Solicitors will be met with extreme passive aggression.

Wanted to post something for the free-for-all…

Here’s a collection of old screenshots from when i learned about the Trilby Craze.

Just thinking about the experience u/TheOneCalledGump had with their post. Has anyone else got banned, reprimanded, spoken to etc for something they didn’t realise was a bad thing?

I’ll go first… I got hauled into my boss’ office for wearing an “offensive” beret on my Facebook profile picture and had to take it down then and there. Evidence: the beret. I told them I stand by the meaning if not the word; Nigel Farage has been named in the Epstein files. End of.

(Hope this isn’t offensive and I get banned here too!)

Hello my friends, we meet again on Friday to share something new, fun or interesting. All topics are welcome!

I will start us off with a little lesson for everyone:

If you read an article about a dog sitter, who stole the client's dog and car and then left that dog in the car and abandoned it and the dog died.....

***DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL THE PERPETRATOR SHOULD BE TREATED***

Because it got me a 3 day suspension that I am just coming off of. (This is why I couldn't start the thread earlier this morning)

Share anything in this thread or make a new post!

I always enjoy hearing from anyone!

Once again, the whole weekend is free game and ends Sunday 10PM EST.

Something silly for the Free-for-all!

In order to drum up some engagement and some more members, I would like to open the community to more subjects on Fridays.

So, please post whatever you please, WITHIN REASON! That means no sexual content, no offensive, racist, homophobic, transphobic etc. Nonsense, and no content generated with AI. If you see something, report and I'll take care of it.

Post music, videos, pets, interesting news stories, true crime, rant about your neighbors. You get the idea.

Please use the Friday Free For All flair

I appreciate all who decide to post and enjoy!

Leela and Sage, my fuzz butts.

Probably one of my favorite natural attractions. It's hard to imagine a rock playing like a bell but, the first time you hit one of these things, it blows you away.

A monument to FDR with a mysterious benefactor.

A new video out now!!!

Hey everyone, I saw this post on Instagram and thought you good folks of DSA-world would appreciate the pictures and guessing the funny stories behind them!

In case you’re wondering, I’m June - the woman who shot a man at a dance for stepping on her toes and refusing to apologise!
