What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

What are they called? Earries? The way shit is put up for sale, sometimes one can't even tell what the hell they are buying.

At their most transparent, they call them “ear bags.”

Apparently, there’s a new type of earmuffs that are pretty much just booties for your ears. I found this out because I keep losing earmuffs and found these.

Evidently, I was excited enough to find a 10-pack for $20 deal that I didn’t see the word “bandless.”

It is one of the great joys of my life than I have never been in a climate cold enough to require earmuffs.

That some Neo-Nazis are evidently willing to be contrarian about ANYTHING. Even if it means defending something like The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas because a left-wing YouTuber criticised it.





And the fact that he's defending it by claiming that it humanises the Nazis is particularly hilarious, not just because, well, the person running defense is a Groyper and BitSP is a kitschy Holocaust book, but because, as Joel points out in his larger video, John Boyne managed to choose the most preposterous way of humanising his characters: making them ignorant on such a fundamental level that it pimp-slaps our willing suspension of disbelief. Things like Bruno, a nine-year-old son of an SS Commandant (a job he can't even comprehend, even as a soldier) who'd be a few months away from his compulsory stint in the Hitler Youth lacking any concept of Hitler (who he calls "The Fury", despite being a native German speaker who should know the word "Fuehrer" and not make this pun that makes no sense in German) or Jews. Or, for that matter, Schmuel not even seeming to understand why he's so skinny when he's in a camp that's put him under a starvation diet. It's one of those stories that only works because everyone involved is an idiot is what I'm saying.
