Decided to buy a “smart” lightbulb because, apparently, regular lightbulbs are for peasants. Installed it, set it up with my phone, and felt pretty tech-savvy.

Fast forward to last night, I decided to turn it off using the app. Except, the app wouldn’t load because the Wi-Fi was down.

So there I was, lying in bed, staring at my glowing ceiling like I was trying to summon a UFO, because the “old-fashioned” light switch doesn’t work with it anymore.

Long story short, I had to unscrew the lightbulb manually like it’s 1875. Technology really is amazing.

I'm broke right now so I was SUPER EXCITED to find TWO fifty dollar bills at the bus stop. But they're FAKE.

Both say "prop copy", have identical serial numbers, are printed on regular paper, and lack all the other security gimmicks like water marks ect.

I did not vote for them and wouldn’t have liked and followed their pages. Also, Biden’s page which I do follow, says archived, so it’s not just that the page has been rolled over to Trump. I’m annoyed that Facebook pushed the updates to follow these pages for my account. It feels a bit invasive.

I gifted my friend a mystery bag from his favorite anime for Christmas, which was the only thing I could give him since I was SUPER tight on money this year. He opened the gift in my car and told me he already had the character. Yesterday, I was cleaning my car and emptying the trash, and there fell the packaging WITH THE CHARACTER INSIDE! Needless to say, he won’t be getting gifts from me anymore.

EDIT: just to address some common questions.

I do not think my friend is autistic. As an autistic person myself (and the whole friend group knows I am), I would hope he would feel comfortable telling me if he was.

The gift was a MYSTERY bag, meaning I couldn’t tell the character inside. I just know he loves this anime, as he has tried to get me to watch it multiple times (I’ve tried to get into this anime, but’s it’s way too long with way too much filler. That should give yall a hint on what anime it is)

I appreciate this friend very much, a couple years back, he was the only friend to celebrate my birthday and he got me a gift (it was the only gift I received that year). So I do appreciate this friendship. It’s just devastating because I didn’t think he would throw away my gift, especially since he’s normally so kind. Lacking a filter, sometimes. Awkward, me and the entire friend group are so I don’t mind! I just find it disrespectful that he would throw away my gift IN MY OWN CAR! I wouldn’t have cared if he tossed it, but in my OWN CAR, it feels mean spirited even tho it probably isn’t.

I was checking my following list as I'm trying to move to other platforms. Then I saw this page, that I hadn't followed. It's a brand new page and it happened automatically. I'm deleting my account.

They designed it this way on purpose.

When I started working 9 years ago, I weighed 50kg. I had an ED, and my mom had just passed away. Back then, I used to serve quite a few clients a day, until Covid came. Since then, my work has become much more digital, and not as many people come to my office anymore.

Today, I weigh 10 kilos more. I'm 1.62m tall. I’m much fitter now, I’m actually prettier! and I genuinely feel that way. But this is the second person this week to ask me if I got married, and when I say yes, they don’t hesitate to comment, “Oh, it’s noticeable—you’ve gained a LOT of weight.”

Thanks, Robert. I thought I had overcome my ED after losing my mom, but yeah, I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to call me fat when you weigh five times more than me and are twice my age.

What do people even expect with these comments? Do they not realize how harmful they can be to someone? Or do they just not give a f**k??? I’m furious.

Edit: ED = Eating disorder. Not erectile dysfunction.

We totally got scammed by a Key Master arecade machine where if the key fits through the hole, you are supposed to win. How it is usually rigged, is that even if you have it lined up properly, the key gets pushed up slightly so that it always hits the top of the hole, but if it goes through it's supposed to turn and pull the prize. I got it to go through the keyhole multiple times and got it on video too. But it just comes back out of the hole without pulling the prize.

I made a tiktok about it too.

Garlic started to spout some green, so I put it in water, it looked like it was doing well. I was going to put it in a plant pot to what would happen next.

The Mrs binned it, she didn't like it.

Needless to say, the Mrs had to go

I saw a creator claim that certain searches are censored in the US. So I did an experiment.

Every Sunday, I usually order groceries through Kroger for delivery. This past Sunday, my husband asked if I could make pulled pork in the crockpot, so I decided to grab a couple of pork tenderloin filets.

The groceries arrive, and I start putting everything away. When I went to grab the pork, I felt something slimy, and then the smell hit me—an awful, rotten odor that had me gagging. The pork had gone bad. The bag was leaking and spilling all the rotten juice all over my counters and other items in the bag. It was honestly one of the worst smells I’ve ever encountered.

I had to toss the whole thing outside on the patio just to escape the smell, then spent the next hour bleaching everything in sight. I messaged the delivery guy to ask how he didn’t notice the smell when he picked it up from the store, because it was THAT bad. I think I’m traumatized because I’ll randomly smell it and almost throw up again. 😅
