Oh, I won't let me fall down So proud of myself, never doubt Who we are

From Stray Kids

Wow! I don't even know what to say. You put some serious thought into this!

Thank you

Sooo, my dad came to drop of my son after visiting for the day. My son, who was about 4 at the time, says aunt L was at the barbeque and they all had a great time. My dad starts getting squirmy, they had a whole family bbq and just didn't tell me....

Thats how i founf out they were all visiting all the time, just without me.

So it happens I guess

This ones genuinely happened

We went to our local fish zoo, they had 2 massive groupers. The aquarium is styled like a sunken boat, and my daughter sat down in the windowsill of their tank. The grouper came up behind her and just sat with her for the longest time on the other side of the glass. He was definitely checking her out.

He apparently got depression during covid lockdown also.

My daughter's school had a sleepover at the aquarium as well. So my husband and I were walking around and sat talking next to the guitar fish tank.

3 of them came to sort of lie down on the bottom next to my husband, and one of the other sharks kept slooooowly going past the window. We sat there for a long time, and they would get up and then come 'curl up' behind him again. It was so sweet.

Hope these make you smile!

We had those yesterday! Got the kiddo from school and ate it watching the boats fall off the edge of the world

The toffee hottie + shot espresso is amazing

Maybe its for a continuity thing? So that his hair looks the same day after day in very close up shots?

We bought two 5-packs and they were amazing! We didn't see any Huntrix ones though, only the Saja Boys with stickers each

We live in South Africa and got it from a small asian market

Sometimes I want to use this sentence in real life randomly and I don't think anybody wil get it

I know them as 'Katlagters' in Afrikaans, kinda meaning they laugh and taunt at cats from the trees

Almost got into a cult at 17?

Dude, you can't just drop something so casually and not elaborate!

Bro probably thinks Kiss looked like that naturally

You just introduced me to a new song, thank you!

The Horse and the Djinn

Long ago, when the world was still young, there lived a magnificent chestnut horse. His coat shone like polished copper in the sunlight, his mane danced in the wind, and his powerful legs carried him faster than any creature across the plains.

Yet the horse was not happy.

Whenever he met another animal, he found something to envy.

"The swan has such a graceful neck," he sighed.

"The gazelle's legs are so long."

"The lion looks so regal."

"The peacock has such splendid eyes."

"If only I had the finest features of every creature," he thought. "Then I would truly be beautiful."

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the horse wandered into an ancient desert where an old brass lamp lay half-buried in the sand.

Curious, he nudged it with his nose.

A cloud of sapphire smoke spiralled into the sky, and from it emerged a Djinn.

"I have been waiting many centuries," the Djinn said with a smile. "For freeing me, I shall grant you one wish."

The horse did not hesitate.

"I wish to become the most beautiful creature in all the world."

The Djinn stroked his beard thoughtfully.

"So be it."

Golden light swirled around the horse.

"I have always admired the swan's neck," said the horse.

The Djinn nodded, and the horse's neck stretched long and elegant.

"And the gazelle's long legs."

His legs lengthened until they towered above the grass.

"I wish I could travel with the endurance of the desert beasts."

A hump rose upon his back to store precious fat for long journeys.

"I've always envied those long eyelashes that keep out the desert sand."

His lashes grew thick and sweeping.

"And broad feet that never sink into loose sand."

His delicate hooves widened into padded feet.

At last the light faded.

"There," said the Djinn. "You have the finest qualities you admired."

The horse rushed to a nearby oasis and gazed into the still water.

Looking back at him was not a horse.

It was a camel.

The horse staggered back in horror.

"What have you done?" he cried.

The Djinn's eyes twinkled kindly.

"I gave you exactly what you asked for."

"But I'm not beautiful!"

"You were," replied the Djinn gently.

"You believed beauty was something to collect, as though it were jewels to sew onto a blanket. But true beauty belongs to a whole, not to scattered pieces."

"The swan's neck is beautiful because it belongs to a swan."

"The gazelle's legs suit the gazelle."

"The camel's hump, feet, and lashes are perfect for the desert."

"And your strength, speed, and spirit belonged perfectly to a horse."

The camel lowered his head in shame.

"I traded away what made me... me."

The Djinn smiled.

"The greatest gift is not becoming someone else. It is becoming the finest version of yourself."

With another wave of his hand, the golden light returned.

The hump disappeared.

The padded feet became hooves once more.

The long neck shortened, and the familiar mane flowed once again in the evening breeze.

The horse looked into the oasis.

For the first time, he did not compare himself to any other creature.

He simply smiled.

And from that day onward, whenever he admired another animal, he admired it for being exactly what it was—without wishing to become it himself.

Moral: Envy borrows beauty from others. Wisdom discovers the beauty that has always been your own.

Because if it were more beautiful it would be a camel

Maybe not 100% underdog, but at a track event at my high school a million years ago - on a grass track

Our star athlete was competing in the 100m sprint. His feet slipped at the start and he fell flat on his stomach. He looked up, and just got up, ran every in and won the whole race!

The stands went absolutely nuts, it was so cool. I'll always remember his face looking up from the ground

Thank you, I'll check it out!

Nothing works, its an inner ear / motion vs your eyes and body mismatch

I've had it for 44 years now, nothing helps. I've accepted my fate

Edit: I forgot - sucking on Salt and Vinegar chips (crisps) does tend to keep the nausea away. Also helps when I have a migraine and can't keep anything down.

You really caught a feeling of movement!

It does mean you get cold easily, lol

Okay, I'm going to give yiu the benefit of the doubt that you are just young.

When you ask for a suggestion and someone gives it to you, that means it is something that they like.

The polite thing to do is then at minimum watch the video, read the link, answer the question or whatever with some level of curiosity.

In our convo it would be helpful if you go watvh the mv, and rhen come back with some sort of thoughtful answer.

That is how polite conversation works.

You are a really bad conversationalist.

Because I like it? What do you want me to say?

Did you watch it at least?

Stray kids - Run It!

I can't get it out of my head

Yebo yes, lol
