did you know moths have evolved to use ultrasonic clicks to disrupt the echolocation of bats hunting them?

does anyone want to get into an evolutionary arms race with me where we both push each other to the extreme?

I hit 230lbs for back squat!

And then I loaded up 235 and failed it! But was somewhat close!

The road to 300 rolls on! There's a decent chance I get it in 2026. 

I hate the game Simon Says

 what is Simon Says trying to prove?

That if you speak really quickly and in a way that is intended to confuse you will confuse people? The winner is the person who is best able to overcome the actions of a person with ill intent? A moral travesty of a game.

social media doesn't make any sense because why would you want to seem better than you are?

that's not right. there's no upside to that.

in as many things as possible be better than you seem.

be stronger than you look. be smarter than you look. have more money than you look. I feel like nature figured this out a long time ago. 

but then you'd say, "well what about animals that look like predators and what about looking scarier than you are?"

well you got me there but that's not going to make you any friends is it?! yeah. making friends is important. and a good way to make friends is to utilize surprise competence. so there. 

I was scrolling around on wplace and I found the Mississippi River and it was yellow and I thought

 'No. No surely they haven't. They couldn't have."

Sure enough. They did. They made the whole Mississippi river pee-pee colored. Except one part near Quincy and Hannibal where they made it poo poo.

 today I was coaching at the climbing gym and my sister was there and the guy I coached with said, yeah I knew you guys were siblings because earlier I saw her do the same little goofy run on the mats that you do

my impression of a guy who has recently been promoted and now has people working under him AND has never been absolutely sure what people are saying when they say the phrase "nip this in the bud"

 

"Well we're gonna have to, uh, ʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛʜɪs ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴜᴛᴛ"
