Friday Ephemera (745)
Today’s word is proximity. || How to make the day exciting. || The wallet wins, I think. || House fire, interior view. || The thrill of saving up for one. || And every submarine should have one. || “Did you hear the music playing?” || Mushroom colour atlas. || Screw the kids, she gets to feel smug. || Question asked, promptly answered. || You want one and you know it. || “And they do bras as well.” || When everything is a latrine. (h/t, pst314) || Eternal TV, for niche streaming enthusiasts. (h/t, Things) || Misleading meme. || Answers on a postcard, please. || With four mallets. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || Made of hemp and horse excrement. || How to deflate a cow. || For scale. || A UFO timeline. || For the fuller figure. || And finally, with effort, a journey to remember: “Do you need to take your pants down?”

The fish. I wanted to see what the fish did.
That looks like a training video to me. IIRC, actual house fires produce so much smoke that there’s almost zero visibility. The flames looked clean, like gas jets that they use in the movies.
It’s a two-part invention, so two for each part. Good luck with the 3- and 4-parters.
That seems like a really odd place to punch a hole. On Dr. Pol’s show, it’s usually in the belly.
As for that last one, they’re just going to have to buy a new seat, aren’t they? That’s not going to just wash out.
And every submarine should have one.
Piano, big deal, they all should have saunas, swimming pools, aquariums, and aviaries.
What? You don’t favour the teapot?
Only if the cannon works.
How to deflate a cow.
Assume a spherical cow
The Guardian?
They’re going to discover they didn’t save nearly enough in construction costs with that wall mount.
