I have never heard of this group before, and now I want to subscribe to their newsletter:
Someone should do this for Congress! Is there like some sort of filter that does this automatically?
Step aside, Nostalgia Critic, thereâs a new voice in Chicago humor!
I dunno, seems more like an extremely localized version of The Onion.
Dogs are funny that way.
They will selflessly stand up to an intruder, but a vacuum cleaner or a toilet plunger is a no-go situation.

I wish the whole world could be a cartoon, then things that happen would make sense; because in a cartoon, things donât make sense - which makes sense because thatâs how cartoons are.

Love that!
Just noticed something in the shower.
Nothing personal. Itâs that Dove soap has positive curvature on one side:

For some reason I think this is really neat.
Depending on the type, it has two distinct layers, too. I use the one that has a little abrasive in it, love that stuff!
Hopefully not the microplastic beadsâŚ
Doesnât the top layer dissolve first?
Abrasive sounds interesting for the shower. Like Lava hand soap. Gee, I wouldnât want to use that, uh, everywhere.
Nope, theyâre microcrystalline wax. From their FAQ:
Unilever began phasing out plastic scrub beads in 2013 and, as of 1 January 2015, we no longer use them at all. We took the decision because of concerns about the build-up of micro-plastics in the oceans. We care about the environment and want our consumers to know we are listening to their views. We were also confident we could create exfoliating products that deliver the same performance without the need to use plastics. In our personal care products, we now use mostly silica which is derived from natural mineral sources such as quartz or sand. We found that silica was the most direct replacement for plastic beads. Where products were already using other natural materials like walnut shells, we didnât need to change.
No, they dissolve exactly proportionally.
Itâs not that abrasive, itâs very gentle.
This is the stuff:
