Did You Know: if you get to the airport early enough in the morning, you can look through the big windows and watch them shovel oats and alfalfa into big troughs for the planes

I know it looks cute, but the airplanes only line up for food when their enclosure isn’t enriching enough.

that might be true of smaller airports where the planes spend more time on the ground, but at large international airports, the planes get tons of enrichment from socializing with one another and lots of exercise flying, so it’s actually fine that their enclosures aren’t much more than a space for them to rest.

The Gimli Glider is one of those stories where every aspect sounds more fake than the last and yet it all actually happened.

-A passenger plane was underloaded with fuel because Canada had just converted to the metric system and everyone supposed to double check their numbers got it wrong.
-When the plane ran out of fuel they were too far away to make it to an in-service airport and had to head towards the Gimli military base.  Which was shuttered.
-They were coming in to fast due to a lack of flaps control and had to perform a series of slips (as shown in the video above) to slow down, basically drifting a giant passenger plane.
-As they come down they realized that just because Gimli’s been decommissioned doesn’t mean it’s abandoned because a bunch of people are having drag races on the runway they’re about to need.
-Despite everything they managed to land safely and no one was killed or even hurt which is why it’s one of the best air disasters to meme on.

The Wikipedia page on this is fantastic and my favorite line from it is “Flying with all engines out was never expected to occur, so it had never been covered in training.”

My mom’s text makes no sense

“Yes-man’s mother’s day greetings and call for free download here and instructions judo asked if you’re coming next week”

What

My mom’s been replaced by a spambot from early 2000.

So yes-man is my father. Judo is my uncle. And today’s mother’s day.

And maybe she somehow got a virus into her phone IDK

Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer reveals she regrets buying Tumblr instead of Netflix or Hulu.  Yahoo bought Tumblr in 2013 for $1.1 billion, but by the time it was sold in 2019, the value of the platform was reportedly down to $3 million. pic.twitter.com/YfH5dpL4Kf  — Pop Base (@PopBase) May 7, 2023ALT

And why did the value plummet, Marissa? Why did it plummet?

Would like to know how exactly she wouldn’t fuck up Netflix or Hulu

Yahoo thought Tumblr would be the next PDF

What does that even mean? PDF as in Portable Document Format?

i cannot stress enough that i dont think yahoo even knew what a pdf was
