Disclaimer: while this is an old joke, I copied this exact text (minus formatting changes) from a Reddit post after doing a web search to make sure I remembered the joke correctly.

A Buddhist monk walks up to a hot dog vendor and says: "Make me one with everything."

After a brief chuckle, the vendor makes the hot dog and gives it to the monk, saying "That will be $4 please." After the monk hands over a $10 bill, he finds himself waiting uncomfortably while the vendor does nothing except stare back at him.

Awkwardly, the monk asks "What about my change?" "Ah," replies the hot dog vendor, "Change must come from within."

Hey, that's the same plan I have for my next date.

What if you do squats?

Apparently I forget that I posted something within six minutes, because seeing this in my inbox was rather surprising until I remembered the context.

I was confused by this message, thinking that you were randomly distracted by discussing PlayStation 2 performance with someone, until I remembered PS/2.

At least it wasn't 5-pin. I might have thought you were talking about S-video.

If someone refers to you as contrarian and you consistently go along with it, doesn't that make you agreeable?

If you say "no" to this question, I think it supports my point, but I'm not sure anymore.

I live in a rural area and, while there are a few local restaurants, almost all of the few that have a web presence have it exclusively on Facebook with their menus hidden behind this. Other sites have archived menus, but they're all outdated.

I don't order from most local restaurants.

It's entirely possible that they were engaging with the "contrarian" bit.

Then it's an appropriately named community.

IIRC, the next line is "good night!" which really enhances this response.

If I don't recall correctly, well... I guess I've added nothing and I apologize.

 

Either it was a local thing (I originally got the picture at Good Will) or my search skills are lacking. My wife loved it so I wish I could get her a reproduction.

Earlier today, I basically passed out. (I've had guests for most of the past week and have had very inadequate sleep.) Before I fell asleep, I texted a friend about a YouTube video that might interest them (Legal Eagle suing Honey). Then I fell asleep.

While I was sleeping, the friend responded with their insights about the case. I have no memory of it, but apparently the attached picture is how I responded to their comments on a video about a legal case. For some reason, that friend did not respond.

edit: Just refining the wording.

 

Like the title says, I accidentally blocked someone. I tapped the three dots under someone's post and then accidentally tapped again as "block user" fell under my thumb. This user doesn't seem like someone I want to block, so I would like to unblock them. I found the "blocklist" under my profile, which says it lists blocked instances, communities and users; but (while I haven't blocked any instances), I only see communities. That said, it's not allowing me to scroll through the blocked list, so possibly the blocked user is lower in the list. If I navigate to the user in question, I see how to block them again, but no option to unblock them.

How do I find a blocked user and how do I unblock them? Thanks in advance.

 

I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

I've loved this song since I heard it on American Dad! It took me an embarrassing number of views to realize that the older and younger couple are supposed to be the same people, though. (Knowing Portuguese might have helped.)

This song is very relatable.

 

I don't know why she cares. She's chill about everything else. She's never met a raccoon. She's never met any wild animal other than a praying mantis. Still, when my TV wasn't wall mounted, we had to make sure not to put on anything raccoon related or she'd try to jump into the TV, Super Mario style.

 
 

Before last night I didn't even know my sister still painted. It's great that she does.

 
 

Nothing in my life has prepared me to answer that question, let alone to a 5-year-old.

 

They had an idea and they went with it.
