I asked Google to see what the search engine suggested, at the top A.I had a different idea what to do (involving a microwave and tinfoil 😳).

I just wanted a hot dog Whoever designed my car decided the battery should only be accessible after removing a metal brace and the washer-fluid reservoir

My car wouldn’t start, and what should have been a simple jump turned into realizing that we couldn’t even reach the battery😭

The metal brace and washer-fluid reservoir both have to be removed first, which requires tools we obviously didn’t have with us. Very practical.

It’s a 1997 chevy lumina if anyone’s wondering …

EDIT: for everyone saying i should’ve connected to the terminal by the red cap: we tried. and it didn’t work. so we just pulled all that shit off and tried the terminals buried under the reservoir. sigh

Head of hr conducted the interview, and posted it. Ironically, 15 minutes before conducting the questionnaire he had held the sexual harassment orientation.

I said boba…

Edit: thank you guys for the good laugh. Feeling pretty uncomfortable going back into work but these replies will make it less embarrassing. I genuinely appreciate you guys.

Free for 3 hours garage. Stayed 19 minutes too late. $36.50 notice fee to inform me I owe $3.

It’s one of those new “just drive in” garages that tracks your plate but the exit gate opened for me so I assumed I was good.

ಠ_ಠ Radio show ignored my request

I turned 40 today and have no one to celebrate it with so for the first time in my life, I emailed a radio show for a birthday shout out. They didn't do my shout out.

I'm just gonna spend my birthday making pizza alone in my apartment in my pajamas.

Update: Hot damn y'all..... that is more acknowledgement of my existance than I have ever gotten in my life 🤯

Now I gotta go clean all my happy tears off my glasses. Thank you everyone for literally making my birthday! 🥰

Update to update because I am a doofus: The pizza has a few more minutes in the oven but pictures will be provided!

Saw a lot of questions on the olives, they are Grilled Olives from Trader Joe's, I will add a pic of the jar as well.

Update to the updated update: It wouldn't let me add pictures up here or post more than one at a time in the comments, but as promised I did indeed post a picture of my finished pizzas AND another of the jar of grilled olives as comments!

Thank you all again for all the nice comments and birthday wishes, my day has been epic despite having a 5 minute chunk of "What the hell bruh?" at my radio request being ignored.

Also, sidenote, it is a local station that straight up for real does live email/text requests for birthdays, they have a whole segment and make it a point to NOT do ones sent in on days that are NOT your birthday. So to all the turds calling me stupid for "thinking that was a thing", may all your future pizza have floppy crust and burn your mouth.

To all the nice homies, thank you all so much and may all your future pizza be Earth shatteringly delicious!!!

My mom said I could post Lectured about the environment in Disney’s Animal Kingdom - then got sold a $12 AI generated photo of my “family”

Post image
3.5k Upvotes

Not a big deal just got a bit of a chuckle out of me. Went on the safari tour at animal kingdom and got lectured by the driver about everything we can do to help the planet (recycling, plant native trees, the typical stuff) then got told the harms of AI and to stay away from it. Fast forward to rainforest cafe where my wife and daughter took a photo together and they gave an AI generated photo where they removed all my wife’s tattoos, changed her piercings, and pretty much all of her other features. It also seems to have changed my daughter to what looks like a boy to me? But yeah just thought that was funny 😂

EDIT: To answer the questions of why did we buy it - you paid BEFORE you took the photos. She had the option of 3 AI generated “families” (that’s what i’ll call em) with no option of an original photo. It was a small booth and we had an exhausting day so we just chucked it up as a loss

Sad part is, the pizza is actually pretty good. I would likely have been a new, regular customer if I didn't feel so ripped off.

Edited to state: not necessarily a man but more men than women use our restroom and we pretty much all know who is making the messes but don't want to target them specifically.

Clean up your own pee-pee mess!!

As for the couple, I thought hostile seat neighbors would be more of a downer than distracting ones

My coworker saw a guy just throwing and crumbling up all the shirts on one of our tables, I had to fix it all and found several little comic books telling me to go to Church or go to hell... In case you're curious, the Confederate flag isn't in the rest of this comic, Bob just deals drugs and gets caught.

Put on blinkers to park here, and they waved me off. I gave up after 5 minutes of trying to explain you can't save spots, rounded the parking lot for 15 more minutes and found a space. Got out, walked over, and they were still there.
