My dad told me a Queen Elizabeth x 9/11 combo joke but idk if it works in English
It goes something like this
Q: Why can’t Americans play chess against the British anymore?
A: Because the British are missing the queen and the Americans are missing two towers (rooks).
To whoever unfollowed me for this: I didn’t even come up with the joke myself, you should unfollow my dad instead.
As a part of the Chess Fandom™️ and also from a colonized country, this was the first image I saw the day the Queen died on my whatsapp chess club group:
Apparently someone left a lighter in their pocket and all of That is from the gas released when the lighter ruptured
So there’s slightly more to it than that, that dryer is a natural gas dryer rather than a purely electric one. So when the lighter went off (the initial small explosion) it damaged the sealed drum enough to get to the gas lines in the heating element of the dryer which then allowed the natural gas and oxygen to mix, hit the fire from the lighter, and result in the second MUCH LARGER blast.
This is one of the many reasons why you always check your pockets, and also why I’ve never owned a natural gas dryer, even though they’re way more energy efficient than an electric one.
FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.
Unlike billionaires, pickpockets often recognize they have a lot in common with the potential victims of their crime.
This reminds me of Rhys Nicholson the comedian who got mugged and the mugger said “I promise this isn’t a hate crime, my sister is a lesbian im pro gay rights”
@staff this is truly a basis for me to never open tumblr desktop again so if that was you guy’s aim congrats, you nailed it!!!! Now if you wanted to keep “what makes Tumblr unique” you have never failed better
