I can't help but ask why I derive fun from watching a cat walk around with a bag on its head.

"I would be totally embarassed to write this, even as a fakepost. it's not funny except in how you seem to think it's good. look at all the redundancies, for fuck's sake. "insipid semantics, despicable mediocrity" ugh gross gross. I want to take a shower every time I read your prose." -Steel

what is the difference between a ship and a boat?

a boat is a submarine or any seafaring vessel deployed from a ship (for instance historically a rowing boat, which is why the term is still used for non-deployed rowing boats). a ship is typically on the water. the difference has nothing to do with size as is commonly thought!

yeah dude there is a legal point at which a vessel is considered to be a ship, boat, or just "watercraft" I think its around 200ft but don't quote me on that one.

I think ships are around 200ft

Boats 150ft

and watercraft are anything less than 150ft

Edit: submarines aren't either ships or boats they're just submarines

was talking in naval terminology (particularly Royal Navy but iirc other continental navies also). also submarine was shortened from submarine boat. note the U-boat, an abbreviation for the German unterseeboot.

my grandfather was in the Royal Navy, served on HMS Belfast, and he once chastised me for calling what was probably a cruiser a boat. now I understand why.

Speaking of old grandfathers from the world wars bearing knowledge, I know how to make a bomb with household items!

I'd tell you how, but then i'd risk having the pigs coming at my door.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

if i could get my hands on saltpeter without being ARRESTED FOR BEING A TERRORIST saltpeter has no logical use nowadays other than in explosives. god damn substitutes.

edit; no i don't need saltpeter, it'd just be a lot easier/ more explosive

Read in the newspaper about a study showing that people decide a person's personality by their facial features, thing is though 90% of whatever it is the participants assumed was wrong. However what it taught me was that one thing was proven with correlation with personality is your jaw structure and chin, the double chinned straighter jaw lined people were more inclined to take bigger risks and were ussually more aggressive.

hypothesised, not proven. correlation does not necessarily imply causation!

for your cat-viewing pleasure:

Quote

This is a video of a Scottish Fold's kitten.
Her name is May.
She occupied my bed.
She springs toward my finger and my camera.
She runs, rolls, and is playing with absorbed interest.
She wears Elizabethan collar for treatment.
This collar is lighter, softer, and is more comfortable than corn.

As far as boats vs. ships, I was told that ships are ocean-fairing vessels, i.e. they can cross the Atlantic or Pacific unaided.

I learned that if you spread your butt cheeks outward onto the toilet seat and shit then you don't have to wipe as much poop off.
