That compulsion you get to stretch and yawn at the same time before you get out of bed is called pandiculation - animals do it after sleep in order to ready their bodies for movement.
Turns out you can tear a muscle in your neck if you overdo it / are old and decrepit.

in the local shop they have to type in the age they think you are in to the till when you buy anything tobacco related... i'm fucking obsessed...

The convenient stores are required to have these signs up to show when you had to be born to be old enough to buy tobacco products.
I always see the date and think about what a raging time I was having 21 years ago and how I have been legally an "adult" for well over 21 years.
- wow. it was 16 to buy tobacco here when i was a kid, it's now 18.kingsteven
- but yeah, most of my undergrad students this year weren't born when i was at university :|kingsteven
- 10 years ago I would look at these and think "that's when I graduated HS"fooler

I just found an old pair of £1 Poundland reading specs that somehow wound up in my house. I put them on and oh dear God, I need glasses.
The back of my hand is waay less smooth than I see it normally and shit I just can't read up close is suddenly clear and legible again.
ho hum.
- Also, perhaps I need to start moisturising.Nairn
- Yup, the world seems a lot clearer with reading glassesdmay
- careful with moisturiser, it's like heroin. You can't just do it once. If you try to stop your skin basically falls off.Fax_Benson

On a lark, I looked up one of my secondary school bullies on FB (without connecting). He still looks like the lift doesn't go all the way up to the penthouse. Eyes still absolutely devoid of life, intelligence, or even sentience.
I didn't get tense, angry, vengeful, or triggered when I saw his face. I could only pity for him.
- *could only feel pity for himContinuity
- should invite him to QBN.. we can gang up on himautoflavour

Listening to Godspeed You Black Emperor and the memory of the long-ago work colleague who introduced me to them pops into mind, so I have a quick scoot on Google Images to see if I can find him ... and Good Lord, if he's that old - how old am I?!
He was a year or two older than I, but now looks like he's hitting mid-fifties.
No way we can rewind this game a bit?
- Crazy innit. You don't notice the people you see regularly ageing, but when a random pops up from nowhere with a full decade of un-witnessed age traumaFax_Benson

I built an IKEA bed last Sunday and my legs still hurt. I have muscles pain as if I had made lots of sport. it took me 4 hours to build the damn thing and i was in pain almost the whole time, legs pain, back pain.
- if all the people who have died of knee pain after building a furniture sued IKEA, they would have declared bankruptcyOBBTKN
- i know your pain, we left our old ikea bed behind last time we moved... the trauma of construction remained 2 years later... and everyones like "i put togetherkingsteven
- some ikea shelves/ drawers/ bedside cabinet and it was sooo easy you must be an idiot"... before the bed i thought i was billy big balls the flat-pack pro.kingsteven

- IKEA is not furniture for adults. It’s college furniture.monospaced
- 3.5 hours for testing the bed in various situations is now part of the assembly process.sted
- if it functions like a furniture, how is it not a furniture? status?pango
- *furniture for adults. what's the difference? they all functions the same.pango
- You’ve got to be kidding pango. Trolling at best. Sad if you’re serious.monospaced
- I don't think he's saying that IKEA is not furniture but that if you can't afford anything better than IKEA as an adult you're a fucking loser.deadsperm
- lol. The bed is great. It cost me 400$ I'm an adult but i wont pay 2000$ for furniture. Each one his priorities in life.Bennn
- @kingsteven Funny cuz i said to my gf "that thing stays here if we move. No way i will unbuild and rebuild this shit" lolBennn
- you won't pay $2000 for furniture, but you'll sacrifice your body. lol. You might just be a little out of shape? I am to... not judging.ben_
- Lol, deadspermGnash
- just put a mattress on the floor. much more comfortable all round.hans_glib
- I mean that it’s poor quality furniture. Doesn’t last through moves. About as cheap as you can get.monospaced
- Its true that they arent build to last multiple decades. But some of their stuff do.Bennn
- He already carries the stigma of being barren, the mattress on the floor would be a daily reminder of his failure as a human.deadsperm
- He needs to take a hard look at himself and figure out where it all went wrong.deadsperm
