My phone's location history revealed my fake sick day

I called in sick to work but forgot to turn off my location sharing. A friend saw my social media check-in from the beach later that day. Now I'm sweating that my boss might get a notification or something. It's pretty absurd how our gadgets can rat us out without meaning to.

Fixing a Game Boy caked in cookie dough brings back memories.

Now devices are too clean and lack character.

Noticed my sauerkraut fermenting twice as fast this week...

The jar's been bubbling nonstop... is that a good sign or should I chill it down?

Got travel ads for a place I only dreamed about last week

My phone's AI linking my dream to ads has me chuckling but also a bit freaked out about privacy.

Pro tip: Never wear a Deadpool mask to a job interview unless you're prepared for the consequences.

I thought it would show my creative side, but the HR manager just stared in silence. Turns out she's a huge Cable fan and took it personally!

The cult of wild fermentation is overlooking basic hygiene risks.

Advocates for spontaneous fermentation often dismiss sanitation, but I've lost gallons of cider to mold contamination. A simple scrub with hot water would have saved it, but dogma prevailed.
