    Huh, this vegan dog shampoo has not been tested on animals.

    I feel like that’s the one product they should test on animals so that my dog doesn’t have to be the guinea pig.

    Teletype with an acoustic coupler. You place the handset into the rubber cups that block out the sound, so that the modem noises were clear through the phone line.

    The perforations in modern toilet paper are an homage to the holes in the punched tape used to feed the teletype pre-recorded instructions.

    We’d look through the bathroom window, there was always something funny going on. Such as packs of velociraptors fighting each other, or a mastodon causing wreck on the neighbour’s garden.

    There used to be a basket full of old National Geographic, Newsweek, and GQ magazines in the bathroom for you and any guests to enjoy.

    In recent times, by reading. Before that, i think most people pooped faster than we do due to better digestable foods

        I know, right?

        Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

        Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

        Laureth. Lauryl. Laureth. Lauryl.

        What? Is? The DEAL?

          My skin doesn’t like it and it’s fucking everywhere.

          If you want to wash anything without it you have to go in two buy your soap from one of those shops where people smell funny and dress bit too casual.

            Eh, it’s fine. I trust the suave company. I’m sure they make a perfectly fine product of salon quality that won’t dry out or otherwise damage my hair or skin.

      Yes! I still have a number of these around here somewhere. They’re old, and many of the articles are out of date, but they’re still enjoyable reads!

    In my childhood household, at all times, there were in-progress books on the back of the commode. You would simply select the one relevant to you.
