The Real Rae West

no sentence fills me with utter loathing so much as "i asked chatgpt"

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

my trademark Type of character writing that i can never resist i think has got to be what i call "the time bomb". which is a character who appears to have no likable or sympathetic traits or redeeming qualities, or lacks the charisma or depth or nuance to pull them off, and works hard to convince you of this, before brutally challenging your assumptions with The Chapter/Episode/Scene which recontextualises everything you thought you knew about them and shakes up your entire understanding of them and the story itself, as you realise that the author was laying the groundwork for this the entire time while convincing you to look elsewhere, like a magician performing a sleight of hand trick. i have something of a sixth sense for sniffing out these types of guys too, which makes it very funny when i'm the only one batting for their team while everyone else calls for their head on a spike around me. just you wait.

On top of the Yankees field cat there was a praying mantis on top of the nationals players hat tonight. Huge night in baseball

He was keeping the mantis updated on the number of outs, too

the mantis is making him good at baseball ratatouille style

Listen, nobody on earth is as superstitious as baseball players. My man knows better than to be impolite to the good luck charm that decided to grace him with its presence.

In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. Source.

Nationality: pussy

this is the funniest fucking medical report i’ve ever seen, like yeah nationality: pussy but also the 69’s?? “cattish”??? “he does alright”???

Imagine you get the info card by itself

His name is General Electric George, Christian name General Electric surname George

This cat is Catholic

…………….y’all ready for Pesach?

Because this person certainly is!

My goyische fiance: “Is this a prank?” 

after being informed it is not:

“At that point you should just go outside and build a kosher hut”

art becomes life I guess

I’m sobbing this is a perfect addition

We knew this couple from our schul back in the day who had an issue with birds continually flying into their french window, so upon advice from an animal control expert they lined the outside of the window with foil as a measure to ward off the birds. 

I am not jewish so my presence is not relevant. However i am high. And i genuinely cant tell if this makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHATEVER because i am high or because im not jewish. Or are jewish holidays just…. Like that.

Jewish people: this post

Me, a simple non jew who happens to be high as balls, sobbing: what the fuck does this mean

Yo @transenbyhollis that is an extremely fair question, high or not. 

For you and the rest of the peanut gallery, the joke here is honestly…. just kind of something you had to have lived through to really get? 

So you may be aware that many Jews (in particular, religious Jews, but some secular Jews also) keep the dietary laws known as kashrut. The really, really basic meaning of this is that we only eat meat from certain animals that has been slaughtered in a certain way, and we separate meat and dairy. How people observe this in practice varies a lot. If you follow the strict traditional rules, you have separate dishes, cookware, and ideally appliances for meat and dairy. However, there is a whole continuum of practices that are more lenient. 

In any event, for eight days a year, during the holiday of Pesach (Passover), those who keep kosher year-round (and even some who don’t) observe unique kashrut rules that involve removing all of the chametz (leavened grain products) from the household and one’s diet. If one holds by traditional observance, ridding one’s life of chametz in preparation for Pesach is a BIG deal, and includes a truly insane amount of cleaning and then the covering of surfaces that cannot be kashered. 

People literally clean for a month to be fully prepared. In fact, you know what? I’m just gonna drop this here: https://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/pesach_cdo/aid/664473/jewish/Printable-Passover-Guide-2019.htm. 

It’s such an intensive process that once you’ve lived through it, it only makes sense to make jokes about it. Covering items that do not have and couldn’t even have food on them (see: the toilet paper) is hilariously over the top, but a good tension relief when you’re on your tenth hour of scrubbing your entire kitchen with a toothbrush to ensure that literally no cookie crumb has escaped. 

GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS AGAIN

Sudden mental image of a dude just taking a power washer to his kitchen

when i was a small child i (christian-raised) understood: Passover and Easter are two holidays that are around the same time of year but different; Easter is the Christian holiday celebrating Jesus’s return from the dead; Passover involves a ban on chametz and can involve observers throwing a lot of chamitz away. Young me came to the knowledgable conclusion that Jesus = chametz

How dare you leave this in the tags:

Someone liked this post and therefore made it surface in my notifications again and uh. Rude reminder that Pesach is less than two weeks away 😳😨🥲

i’m crying laughing

For the record, my earlier reblog appears to be randomly truncated (full post here). I didn’t just randomly start talking about birds on an unrelated post for no reason, it just cut off the second paragraph, I promise.

?????? rich people are losing it

to be clear, yes i would also do some of this if i had the money. im experiencing blinding envy over the dr pepper mirror dimension.

This is the rich people shit I'm down for. If you have money at least be silly with it

mickey 17 presents the ultimate horror question: what if you wanted to fuck your clone but your clone didn’t want to fuck you?

nasha was THE highlight of Mickey 17 she actually felt like a character and not just the demure, loving girlfriend, she was messy and jealous and obsessive and it was such a fun watch, like she was literally this

“He just wants to have a nice life and be a regular dude. He doesn't really have any higher aspirations particularly. He was fine with being tortured every day if he could just go home to Nasha.” - Robert Pattinson
