Finally got them potholes filled.
that’s iceland. they don’t have potholes, because none of their streets get very old, see exhibit A
Boss, you’ll never guess why I can’t make it today.
Yep, they’re not getting that back.
“When I was your age I had to walk to school through 5kms of lava, just to avoid fighting with bears again, it was actually faster if I ran” just kidding I know we don’t have money to raise children anymore
I bet a Cybertruck couldn’t make it, prove me wrong.
Saw my first cybertruck in person while on the highway today. It was pretty funny looking. Also, I doubt many vehicles were created to ride lava; let alone uneven terrain to this degree.
I also recently saw my first in person. It is bigger than I expected and looks really stupid.
I’m not even sure they can sell Cybertruck in Iceland. Most developed countries have pedestrian safety standards that the Cybertruck can’t pass.
Off-roading in Iceland is strictly forbidden.
What really?
I checked and it’s true :
- Off-Road Driving: Damaging and Illegal Off-road driving is strictly prohibited in Iceland, and those caught engaging in the activity can face hefty fines of up to 100,000 ISK per person. Off-road driving can cause irreversible damage to Iceland’s fragile ecosystems, particularly the moss, which takes hundreds of years to grow. Iceland’s moss plays a vital role in preventing soil erosion and retaining water and humidity, making its preservation crucial. In 2018, a group of French tourists mistakenly believed off-road driving was allowed in Iceland, causing significant damage and getting stuck, leading to public outcry.
- F-Roads: A Legal and Exciting Alternative F-roads, or mountain roads, can only be accessed by 4x4 vehicles and are open for a limited period each year, typically from July to September. F-roads are often confused with off-road driving due to their unpaved, rugged appearance and rural settings, but they are legal to drive on. Some F-roads might require crossing rivers and navigating rough terrain, which is why only 4x4 vehicles are allowed on these roads. On maps, F-roads are marked with an “F” followed by a number, e.g., “F413”. Some F-roads may not be clearly labeled in person, so always check your route carefully.

God, Nordic countries are so fucking cool.
It looks like ocean
Like the ice oceans in the Mars trilogy
Ahhhh, the books that I bought and never read because I don’t read anymore. :(
Like, never again until you die?
Tone-deaf bosses be like, “actually we have a return to office mandate… We’re gonna need a note from your doctor.”
“I don’t understand why turnover is so high. Ever since COVID people just don’t have any work ethic. The lockdowns really destroyed our economy in irreparable ways. Wait no, don’t quit.”
The “people don’t want to work anymore” rallying cry has always confused me. Who ever wanted to work in the first place?
That’s always been my response when manager and owner use that whole “nobody wants to work anymore,” thing because they can’t get people to take offers for six bucks a year.
Every single time I hear that, I say out loud, “Well I certainly don’t want to work. Who in their right mind does? That’s why we get paid to do it.”
McDonalds in NYS is $20 an hour and they struggle to fill the jobs. Just saying.
Part of that is because those jobs are fucking horrible to do.
Nok, kids these days are just lazy. My first job was BK. It was fine. Not horrible at all.
Oh it’s the kids that are wrong, huh? Ok Skinner.
