  • I see some of you have never played Battleshits before.

    Rules are as follows:

    • Two people enter a toilet cubicle each and proceed to try and shit.

    • The first one to shit wins.

    • If both players have shitted then the size of the shits is judged and the largest shit wins.

    It is a puerile and crass game of speed, deception and defiantly not for the weak-stomached as I found out to my own detriment as a spectator.

    This has been your daily reminder that we are all just slightly more evolved apes with access to the power of gods.



  • The gun culture in the US is derived from shooting trespassers on your property when it was a colony because the British learnt from the Spanish colonies it’s much easier just to get your colonists to do self defence rather than having to deploy your own army everywhere.

    The whole “well organised militia” part of the 2nd was just the founding farthers fan-boying over Switzerland being a republic in a sea of monarchies. Might have started out that way, but as soon as the US had imperial ambitions outside of it’s own continent that requires a professional federally controlled military and therefore the militia model is obsolete.

    So really the 2nd amendment as a means of securing personal freedom from tyranny was and has been not much more than a comfort blanket for libertarian-minded Americans.

    So yes that is all true.

    However, the mental link of the name “Swastika” with the Nazis has had 90 years of reinforcement in popular culture.

    If you want to perpetuate a meme that annoys Elon and damages the Tesla brand (because I think they still spend $0 on marketing) then:

    1. “Swasticars” is a very good phrase because it’s a portmanteau and everyone (in WEIRD nations) can work it out, have a little giggle, and then spread it as a meme.
    2. Explaining that it’s technically incorrect by going “well actually… (Pushes glasses up)” is not going to help spread the meme and is just being a bit pedantic.
