Gröning proposed the idea for the film to the monks in 1984, but the Carthusians said they wanted time to think about it. They responded to him 16 years later to say they were willing to permit him to shoot the movie if he was still interested.
[Image ID: Post from Slippy (@/ damnSlippy.slippy.me) reading: Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, is that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure they monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them." /End ID]

Americans: never let people give you shit for complaining about your taxes. Your tax system is a hellgrade catastrophe.
As a travelling musician from outside of the country, I'm having to file tax returns in twenty states as well as federal taxes. Of those twenty states, sixteen won't let a non-resident file their return online so I have to mail them in myself.
Also of those twenty states, I've only successfully paid my taxes in four states after an entire day of trying to force them to take my money. Some states will outright not accept non-US addresses or phone numbers when you try to pay your tax. What a funny April fools prank. North Carolina won't let you pay unless you have a card connected to a US bank account.
I owe Idaho $10! And their online tax payment system isn't working! At all! Hahaha!!!
Also who the fUCk bases their tax system around sending and receiving cheques in 2025?
I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN A CHEQUEBOOK SINCE 1998

I want to try so many little hobbies. Candle making, soap making, basket weaving, wood carving, book binding, baking, weaving, I want to try them all.
I almost made a post about this the other day (unless i actually did and totally forgot) but there’s so many
I was going to make a list, but then i realized this is a good time to share this book
Making Stuff and Doing things is a whole collection of old punk DIY zines about making and doing just about anything, even things you probably never knew you wanted to do.
Book binding? In there.
Making bowls from old vinyl records? I made a whole ton for my brother’s grad party last year.
Basics of guitar? Making rubber stamps? Silk screening? Composting? Homemade beer, root beer, and wine? Soymilk?? Quill pens??? All in there.
Since it’s more punk, it doesn’t have a ton of the folksy, cottage vibes/hobbies, but it’s all about being resourceful and sustainable, which they both have in common.
If i ever need to do anything I’m not sure of, I double check this book to see if there’s anything in there. It’s one of the only books on diy I’ve ever needed.
You can download the entire book as a PDF in the link above.
for april fools we’re deleting this entire site sayonara you weeaboo shits
Fortnite, are you sure about this? Did you think it through?
this made me laugh so hard
Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Don’t put no hate and resentment, and try to — “oh Imma fucking show them, Imma show” — FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They don’t matter! They NEVER mattered.
Happy Coelacanth Saturday, everyone!
