- My earphones' cable has grown a pimple. It popped today.
Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.
The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.
I was not able to find an explanation. Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.
At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

- This sign spotted in a South American bank lobby
Translation according to Google (with edits):
UNITED BANKERS UNION
"Alternative union for all workers"
Colombia is union territory
EVEN THOUGH THE BANKS WANT TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IT
YOUR BOSS IS NOT YOUR OWNER
THIS BANK SQUEEZES, MISTREATS, INTIMIDATES, REPRESSES, AND HARASSES ALL ITS WORKERS VIOLATING THEIR LABOR RIGHTS
- Just a random 3" screw in a freshly opened box of 1-5/8"
I thought maybe I had accidentally put the screw in there myself but my only other box of this color I bought is 3-1/2"
- Art is in the AI of the beholder
Just received the photos of a sewer scope inspection for a client and the AI series of description fails gave me a giggle
- Yuor Brain Fills in the Gpas
Though I'm not sure this holds true for dyslexics.
edit: Apparently it's more complicated than the example claims.

- In this CD booklet, they forgot to remove some Japanese lyrics.
This is the cd "Kingdom of Desire" by Toto. This booklet shows some lyrics which appear to be Chinese (E: nope, Japanese according to comment) Those are not sung in the song.
Bought in Thrift store, so maybe bootleg? Doesn't look like it though, it has a sticker on the front with touring dates of the band. So probably sold at a tour?
- Why Are Bathtubs So Small? It's Complicated | Mental Flosswww.mentalfloss.com Why Are Bathtubs So Small? The Answer Is More Complex Than You Might Imagine
If you're a human of average size, taking a bath isn't always as relaxing as it sounds—especially when your legs are sticking halfway out of the water. The problem? Bathtubs are too small. But why?
- President Biden is the First President Elected From The Silent Generation
This is kinda blowing my mind right now.
I know generation bounds can be inconsistent, but I’m using this as the guideline:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation#List_of_social_generations
That puts Clinton, W, Obama, and Trump all as Baby Boomers and Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and HW all as Greatest Generation.

I can get behind using AI for this, it's really cool!
- This three-sided pole on an airport tram
I had never seen one of these before today. They're great. Way better than reaching for a single pole in a crowded car and wrapping your hand around some stranger's fingers. And If you have the whole thing to yourself you can hook your arm through it.
- The difference that proper air/fuel mixture makes.
I changed out the burner tubes in the propane grill. The first set of burners I got did not have adjustable air inlets. Ordered some different ones and the difference is surprising.

- This label informs you it is easy to peal, and it was.
I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.
I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.
If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?
