It’s 2012 so I don’t really need to explain to you that Bronies (grown-ass men who like MLP) exist. While most will defend the fandom as wholesome and innocent, it should come as no surprise that there are those for whom the show is the source of many a sexual fantasy. A brief glance at /r/clopclop (VERY NSFL) is all one needs to know about the depths of cartoon pony fetishes.
Some of the most productive conversations I’ve ever had come from talking to my youth advisor/house cat Geoffrey. Today, Geoffrey helped me to better understand how to utilize YOLO in regard to three point-of-purchase scenarios.
Geoffrey, could you come in here when you get a chance?
- Yes, sir, what is it?
Geoffrey, what do you make of this YOLO word the kids are using lately?
- You only live-
Once, yes, you only live once, I know what it stands for Geoffrey.
- Then what seems to be the problem, sir?
The problem, Geoffrey, is that I can’t seem to figure out which situations warrant the use of a YOLO and which don’t.

Do I look like I’m joking, Geoffrey? Keeping up to date on the lexicon of the youth is essential in today’s social media marketplace.

Weaponized sound may sound like something out of science fiction, but police and military units have been using the technology for years. Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) recently made headlines when the NYPD deployed the non-lethal weapons on Occupy Wall Street protestors last fall. But while devices like LRAD use high frequencies to induce headaches and hearing loss, the legendary “brown note” serves a more embarrassing purpose.
Long considered an urban legend, the so-called “Brown Note” is a frequency thought to cause a loss of bowel-control in the listener. While the note has been featured in episodes of Mythbusters and South Park, Josiah’s ukulele is the first instrument in recorded history capable of reproducing the tone.

“What I’m saying is older people watch these shows and older people aren’t as used to using the internet to watch their television. Hence, if younger people aren’t watching television programming the traditional way, then the people who DO, i.e. older people, are dictating who wins. “

A fabulous to-do list (via Jezebel)
This is my college roommate’s cousin. I posted it to Tumblr ages ago and then Nick put it on Reddit and it took nine months it to go viral when some guy claimed it was his kid.
It’s cool, though Internet. You can have this one. We cool.
Look at the list my niece just made!
