Nazifurs have a long and storied history.TIL that AltFurry is a thing. White supremacist, ultra conservative, right wing furries. Right down to a red arm band with a black paw print replacing the usual swastika.

When a Psyduck and a Geodude love each other very much,....
Great, now I remember that geoduck looks like a pornstar closeup.
Now for the real shock: it's not pronounced like you probably think. More like "gooey-duck". The beginning is NOT pronounced like the beginning of "geography" or "geo-cache"

Hrumph. It's no Banana Slug.
At least the GHB is supposed to be a joke.That's almost as bad as the Greendale Human Being.
Hey, I've always liked the Banana Slug! It's weird but funny. Did you look at the gallery on my link? Every incarnation of the geoduck is either obscene or nightmarish. Usually both.
The tennis playing Geoduck was by far my favorite. /shudder
TIL that gaming mice actually make a difference.
I always kind of pooh-poohed fancy schmancy gaming mice. I stuck with my standard logitech mice, because I liked the shape, and it's a brand I've been using for somewhere around 20 years. I've been playing Minesweeper for about that long, too. And 179 seconds was my best time for clearing the "Advanced" board. For years and years. I figured it was simply impossible (for me) to do better.
So, I got a Razer mouse a few months ago. It's not as ergonomically shaped as my Logitech, but it has "ultra glide feet" or somesuch. Which leads me to:

Laugh all you want. I don't play shooter/twitch games. This is the best I got
I'm just surprised that a mouse could make so much difference.
If I knew I was going to be breaking my record, I might not have stopped in the middle for that bite of sandwich.

TIL: Fans of Community actually went ahead and made the Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne 8-bit multiplayer game after seeing it in the show.
TIL that when it comes to Youtube cooking channels, if someone dares to make paella there will undoubtedly be dozens of comments letting them know that what they made isn't paella, as though there was only one single way to make paella and that commenter's grandma was the only person on Earth that knew how to do it properly.
Holy shit, there's literally a section on Wikipedia dedicated to people whining about something being or not being paella.

Endorsed. I's pretty analogous in terms of every-family-makes-it-some-way in my area, at least.
Now, allioli, in the other hand. Don't get me fucking started
Fine. I'll just go sitting down.

YIL my front lawn had a peach tree this WHOLE time! All my years the thing never fruited until this month.
Master Shifu would be proud.
HELL yeah, that means 3-6 movies a somewhat good TV show, and a seemingly endless amount of straight to DVD specials!
Hopefully soon, they've planned stuff this year for me but nothing was ever set in stone.
TIL I’ve had Rh factor compatibility backwards my entire life. I have no idea how, either, since it’s a subject I actually studied! BLTN, I guess.
Even more annoying is the fact that I KNOW this isn’t the only time we’ve discussed this here (on mobile so not gonna search it), and it apparently still didn’t stick.
