Viral debate erupts over how to properly eat a sandwich — and what it says about your personality

The way you eat a sandwich can reveal a lot about your personality, it has been claimed.

A photograph showing a common conundrum when eating the classic meal has sparked a fiery debate.

After asking “where’s your next bite” many have been divided, with some insisting there’s a “right” and “wrong” way to eat a sandwich.

Debaters have been split into three camps, those who taking a bite out of one crust, people who go straight for the more tempting piece in the middle of the sandwich (which is stuffed with the delicious filling) and those who choose to nibble a corner.

I hate the future.


The Unimaginable Horror of a Trump Restoration

It is an overcast, unseasonably warm morning on Wednesday, Nov. 6, and the world has woken up in shock as Donald Trump has emerged as the winner of the U.S. presidential election. America’s cities are once again full of mute, stunned liberals avoiding eye contact with one another on the morning commute, as the grim reality of what Trump might do with this power begins to set in. At his victory speech just after 2 a.m., when the networks called Wisconsin, and thus the election for him, Trump took the stage and declared, “Judgment Day is coming for America’s enemies, and no Marxist, Harvard leftist, gender-radical, illegal, or criminal thug in our great country will be safe come January.” And in some ways that bleak morning might represent the high point of the next four—or 40—years, given what Trump and his allies have in store for us.

This is a worst-case scenario. But it’s far from impossible. A Trump restoration is in the works—and it should feel like an existential threat to everyone who cares about liberal democracy and the incomplete but tangible social, racial, and economic progress that has been made since the New Deal era.

Un. Imaginable. Horror.

I mean, I guess they doomjack to this shit or something? The left have been doomers since <em>Silent Spring</em> and arch-fraud Ehrlich’s <em>The Population Bomb</em> (with heavy salting of The Cold War, of course) but they really get off on imagining the worst case scenario and then encouraging it.

We all love a little doomsday now and then, and prepping like Mormons, but the histrionics over Trump are darkly amusing.


 

New York becomes first U.S. city to approve congestion pricing tolls

New York has become the first U.S. city to embrace congestion pricing to reduce vehicle traffic and pollution in its busy urban core.

The board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Wednesday capped a years-long, often fraught review process by authorizing plans to charge drivers a $15 daytime toll to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, which is expected to generate billions of dollars to improve the region’s mass transit.

Congestion pricing is scheduled to launch in mid-June. The $550 million effort by MTA contractor TransCore to install cameras along the perimeter of the congestion pricing zone is mostly complete.

You will use the mass transit or be destroyed. You will use the mass transit and be murdered. You will use the mass transit and go to jail for defending yourself. GET ON THE BUS! GET ON THE TRAIN! (for your clothes here’s a pretty flower)


 

 

The trailer for the movie the song is referencing. (It is age-restricted and can only be watched on YouTube.)

Living Dead Girl (1982) is from the wonderfully cracked mind of Jean Rollin. It’s in French, so don’t bitch at me about subtitles.

The entire film can be watched for free with ads on Tubi.
