‘Simplified’

Well ‘thanks’ for the ‘simplified’ statement, I guess?

Letter with headline/subject "Your new 'simplified' Pension Annual Benefit Statement", with quotation marks around the word 'simplified' added for emphasis but giving the impression that it's not simplified, that's just what they're calling it.

Fishsmith

I’m a little fishsmith,
Short and stout.
Here’s my anvil,
Here’s my trout.

Shipslasher

I want to write a successful YA fiction where all the characters are boats. Just ‘cos I want to see people ‘shipping ships.

Also, one of my characters will be called Slash.

Chuck Wagon

Apparently, zero of the imagineers building this Disneyland Paris cafe conceived that “Chuck Wagon” sounds like what a cowboy would call a wheeled vomit trough. 😂

Ramming speed!

Trouble brewing at the village carnival’s decorated-bike competition as, for perhaps the first time in history, a viking longship rams and boards an X-wing of the Rebel Alliance.

A cardboard longship collides with an X wing in a grassy field.

Yodawg

“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm.”

A fawn-coloured French Bulldog wrapped in a blanket in a way reminiscent of robes. This, combined with her wrinkled features, makes her look a little like Yoda.

Optional AUP

Got to say, it’s very sporting of AWS to make compliance with their terms of service and acceptable use policy optional.

Screenshot of dropdown field labelled 'Will you will comply with AWS Service Terms and AUP - optional', currently set to 'Yes'. The label is saying that the field is optional, but the joke is that it sounds like complying with the terms of service is optional.

Spoon bucket

This is a repost promoting content originally published elsewhere. See more things Dan's reposted.

I got a spoon bucket for my birthday! 🥄

2 gallon white plastic bucket, labeled: - Flatware Circus - Spoon Bucket - Discover the wonder of spoons with this randomized collection contained within a convenient bucket - 30 miscellaneous spoons inside one bucket

Wait, this is a real thing?

OMG it is.

New life goal unlocked!

Evaluation: wild success, a very pleasing range of spoons (and two tiny forks)

11 small piles of stainless steel flatware sorted by type, with 1-7 items per pile. 10 types are spoons, 1 is tiny forks.

The same guy behind these also does buckets of forks. And vlogs about silverware in general.

Everything about that is excellent.

Oh, and happy birthday Jamie, I guess!

Watch it twice

Something’s gone wrong on the Jellyfin server I use to manage my household’s film library, resulting in some unexpectedly-funny repetition…

TV screen interface showing posters for many films. Groundhog Day is listed twice in succession. This is funny because the film is about a celebration date, 'groundhog day', repeating itself.
