Speaking of weird shit, why did we have to learn about some weirdo named Johnny Appleseed?

 

Here's another random gif: https://tenor.com/5Med.gif

Guess that doesn't auto-embed. Work for it.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Appleseed Because he was a badass whom even the Natives respected because he shared their love of the land.

 

Do you know the name of the man that invented the toilet?

 

Which time?

 

Thomas Crapper...what a name

 

Nope. He invented the ballcock valve, not the toilet

 

crapper came up with the ballcock? I'm going to die laughing now.

 

He was also the first to mass-produce toilets commercially, but the general concept of the flushable toilet has been around since the 11-1200's in the Middle East. Can't remember which country off the top of my head.

 

Is it that dude south park made fun of.......darrington.

If you guys ever think about getting a Sonos sound system, do it, I did it was expensive but it's been well worth it.

 

That A-a-ron Bornstein "Space Mining Task" might be the silliest damn thing I've ever done on MTurk....it looks like something designed for grade schoolers.

But hey, 9 beans is 9 beans I guess...

Pros:
None except for a feedback form. Don't do this unless you're desperate.

Cons:
- Headphones/quiet place needed.
- This was brutal and I only didn't nope out so I could warn other workers. The play button is broken at least on Chrome. I could access the clips by right-click + Inspect, but even without wasting extra seconds with that, this still would have been horrendously underpaid. There is no internal progress meter.
