If you see this, post something you saved because it’s funny.

Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein (the former political arm of the Irish Republican Army) complaining on social media about it taking half an hour to switch off all his Christmas lights each night. Another poster responds with “Surely you know someone who can fit a timer”.

Black text on white background. Text reads: What’s going on? This is followed by options of ‘It’s annoying or not interesting’, ‘I’m in this photo and I don’t like it’, ‘I think it shouldn’t be on Facebook’ and ‘It’s spam’. The second option has been selected.

I succeeded in flowering this ridiculously small lady slipper orchid this year. It went on to have four flowers in a row. It’s called a Mexipedium.

Tiny lady slipper orchid with finger behind the white flower for scale. The flower is the same size as the end of the finger.

This case makes it look like the phone has a boob window.

Photo of the back of an orange iPhone 17 in an army green colored case. The case has a cutout across the top of the phone for the camera bump area that resembles a cutout on a risqué top.

You might have missed this honker of a Huntsman spider found in rural Australia a few years ago. That’s a standard broom head for scale.

Big honkin’ Hunstman spider sitting on a yellow broom head. Bigger than your hand for sure.

This bitch. Who I just blocked so I’m only screenshotting.

Some cretin stating “You cannot beat the capitalists and the fascists in life and death scenarios when the idiot proletariat who supported them are too brainwashed by the capitalists and the fascists to be on their side. You have to remove them before you can beat the real enemies. Their deaths help hasten our win.

Same vibes as this sign I spotted while on field work.

Badly painted sign saying ‘ATM Here’ that looks like it was painted by the clown from It to lure unsuspecting people to their doom.
