There aren't enough gimmick accounts, too little exciting meta drama, not enough TDS political sperging , and a dearth of spammy posts. I expect worse from you and I want to waste my time here even if there's no more funny.

Boy who injected himself with a crushed butterfly mixed with water 'for online challenge' suffered horrific seven-day slow death, it is revealed - with the insect's toxins feared to be the cause of death

The fourteen-year-old boy who died after injecting himself with a crushed butterfly suffered agonising symptoms for seven days before he died, local media reports.

Davi Nunes Moreira, 14, died in hospital in Planalto, Brazil last Thursday after telling staff he had injected a solution made of crushed butterfly into his leg.

Believed to have carried out the dangerous procedure as part of an 'online challenge', Moreira began vomiting and struggled to walk before admitting his mistake.

The youngster was taken into hospital by his father and remained in the Vitória da Conquista general hospital for a week, receiving specialised support, before he died.

Last April, an online influencer from Brazil nearly required amputation after taking part in an ill-advised viral trend for her two million followers.

'Thammy MC' was left unable to walk after standing in a bucket of ice and salt for an online 'dare' that turned her feet black and nearly required the amputation of her toes.

'We spent 15 minutes with our feet on the ice with coarse salt,' she said, recounting the horror.

'When I took my foot out I never felt such pain in my life. Three of my toes had turned black when it came out of the ice bucket.'

Thammy was treated at a clinic where she was told she was at risk of thrombosis, and that she could have developed necrosis had she remained in the ice another minute.

Unable to put any pressure on her feet, she said she now gets around the house by being dragged around in a garden chair by her mother, who pushes her from room to room.

I am cautiously optimistic that we will reach the $4B/day FY2026 reduction this weekend https://t.co/XQBK3rqkwo

Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of $4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30.

That would still result in a $1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026.

Super big deal.

Elon Musk's DOGE commission gains access to sensitive Treasury payment systems

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Government Efficiency, run by President Donald Trump's billionaire adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation.

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-elon-musk-doge-treasury-5e26cc80fcb766981cea56afd57ae759

"They seem to want Treasury to be the chokepoint on payments, and that's unprecedented," the person added, emphasizing that it is not the bureau's role to decide which payments to make — it is "just to make the f-ing payments."

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/politics/doge-treasury-department-federal-spending/index.html

Federal Outlays Breakdown, these are what the treasury actually pays out

Throughout this page, we use outlays to represent spending. This is money that has actually been paid out and not just promised to be paid. When issuing a contract or grant, the U.S. government enters a binding agreement called an obligation. This means the government promises to spend the money, either immediately or in the future. As an example, an obligation occurs when a federal agency signs a contract, awards a grant, purchases a service, or takes other actions that require it to make a payment. Obligations do not always result in payments being made, which is why we show actual outlays that reflect actual spending occurring.

Napkin math with last years numbers:

• Social Security: $374 B (19.7%)

• National Defense: $262 B (13.8%)

• Health: $246 B (13.0%)

• Net Interest: $242 B (12.8%)

• Medicare: $233 B (12.3%)

• Income Security: $162 B (8.5%)

• Veterans Benefits and Services: $105 B (5.5%)

• Education, Training, Employment, and Social Services: $52 B (2.7%)

• Natural Resources and Environment: $39 B (2.1%)

• Transportation: $36 B (1.9%)

• Other: $43 B (2.3%)

Total Outlays Spending: $1.9 trillion

Assuming boomers and the defense companies are untouchable and muskrat isn't r-slurred enough to default on interest payments overnight this can be met by immediately halting payments for:

• Income security(162b) + Vets services(105b) + Education(52b) + Environment (39b) + transportation (36b) + Other(43b) = (.162+.105+.052+.039+0.036+.043) trillion = 0.437 Trillion dollars

Lets slap on a halt for all healthcare outlays including medicaid for 246b to get 0.683 Trillion dollars . Nowhere near enough dollarydoos to meet the target.

Lets make some harder sacrifices. All outlays to the penta-GONE (262b) for 0.945 Trillion. Now the target can easily be solved by reducing SS payments by 14% .

Bigger picture 1 trillion dollars is 3.65% of nominal GDP and 1 trillion dollars worth of outlays being halted for a year from this scheme fires a solid chunk of 2 million soldiers, 2 million federal employees, every contractor so something like ~5-7 million people? Pulling some galaxy brained napkin math out my butt thats 1/16th the total workforce for an additional 6% unemployment not including private sector income loss by sept 30.

UPDATE: FAKE NEWS

MULTIPLE ABOVE SPENDING BUDGET BY 3

Will this go through ?

Who knows ? Its literally the most illegally r-slurred way of cutting the deficit imaginable .

But muskrat says its the plan and this is what the payments system controls

>Light in fire in your house. You can't forget about it and walk away. Also, if you didn't clean under the burner properly last time, now there is a half a noodle under there burning. It will either smell weird and concern you, or set off the whole-butt fire alarm

This is called "cooking".

>Crack open the salmonella rocks in your house. You cannot touch anything after you crack them open, because they are probably poisonous. You also have to crack them specifically to not get egg shells into your food

Eggs are perfectly safe to touch. If you care, you can wash the shells.

>Whisk the eggs. No, not with a whisk, you idiot! With a fork! Everyone knows you don't actually use whisks for eggs! Oh God, did you add milk? You're not supposed to add milk! Despite that being how your mom always does it and your mom being awesome/ making yummy eggs!

A "whisk" is a kitchen tool that could totally be used to whisk eggs. That said, the act of whisking doesn't require a whisk. Many people use forks because they're whisking 1-3 eggs and a whisk is simply too much whisk. Also, I add milk to my eggs all the time, taste great. Never seen a chef forbid milk in eggs (though using butter is maybe a little better)

>Put the egg bowl, the whisk you used, and the eggshells...somewhere? You can't just leave them on the counter, you need to clean as you go (the classic, helpful advice to not get overwhelmed!) How do you open the trash can to get the raw egg shells in there without getting raw egg all over? Do you need to Lysol your whole kitchen after this?

Leave them on your counter if you want lolol. Who cares. Also, I have a trashcan with a foot pedal so I could in theory have both my hands full of eggs and put them inside. Idk if she's kobe-ing these eggs into the trash but I've never gotten "egg everywhere".

Eggs on the pan, stir gently. Not too gently, because then it'll cook on the edges only and you'll get oddly dry, flaky eggs. Not too often though. You need to get a feel for it. Someday you'll just get a feel for it. Why don't you do this often enough to have a feel for it?

This is just litterally learning how to cook. If you make 10 eggs over 10 days, your 10th egg will be better than your first. Human beings evolved the ability to learn for this reason.

>Know when they're done. Alton Brown says to take them off early, because they keep cooking on the plate. Salmonella says to cook them thoroughly. Internally panic long enough that you make them rubbery and burnt anyway.

Alton Brown tells you to do this to not get the rubbery and burnt texture. Salmonella doesn't say anything, it's a disease that is incredibly rare. Alton brown worked in a professional kitchen that would get their asses sued to oblivion if they served raw salmonella egg, so uh, maybe fricking trust his judgement when he says take them off early?

>Eat. They do not taste as good as other people's eggs. You get the ick. Don't waste your food! Keep going! Oh god, you forced yourself. Now you hate the taste of eggs and won't eat them for another 4 months.

I mean if you just don't like eggs why are you cooking them lol. I like mine with bacon.

Clean the pan. It's non-stick, which, btw, is evil and killing birds and small children. Can you put in the dishwasher? No, you have to hand-wash. Hey, your sink isn't clean! You need to deal with all these dishes! Maybe if you were a better person, you would've done that already! Oop, is that the dish you whisked the eggs in? Did that touch some other dishes? Yep, salmonella is on everything. Oh, and if you hand-wash, you need to find a spot to dry your dishes. Your kitchen counter needs to have a clear enough space to drip-dry. Why don't you have that? You idiot.

WTF I have to clean my pans?

Anyways, ADHD ISNT REAL AND COOKING EGGS IS EASY.

I had totally forgotten that the Dear Colleague letter was that early, holy frick

Kanye West needs a new muse ... because his relationship with Bianca Censori is donezo.

Ye and Bianca have split and are heading hurtling towards a divorce ... according to the Daily Mail, citing a source close to the rapper. A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ both sides have reached out to divorce attorneys.

The split comes on the heels of Kanye and Bianca's controversial appearance at the Grammys and Ye's antisemitic, hateful and misogynistic social media rant, where he declared himself a Nazi and praised Adolf Hitler.

PLEASE DONATE, I DID NOT APPRECIATE BAN LAND!

Hi. It's justastupidgaystraggyr-slurred etc etc and I do not understand twitter at all. Which is really unfortunate because that's where all the drama happens now. Reddit is fricking dead when it comes to genuine fighting and drama and one one sided seethe threads are a shoddy substitute.

Does anyone know how to game the algorithm to show me fighting and dramapilled shit? If I have to pretend to actually care about or like twitter microcelebrities for this to work I'm out.
