Scotland has given all its gritters funny names and you can track them live!
The clever way Iceland is slowing down its cars.


So TFL buses now (repeatedly) announce “please hold on, the bus is about to move”.
Ngl, if you get into a bus and aren’t anticipating movement, maybe you deserve to fall.

Honey, I shrunk the kids
Honey, I blew up the kids
Honey, I made the kids believe they were exceptional and complimented them on their talent rather than their work ethic and now they're in their mid to late 20s and never developed the ability to finish a passion project
