I asked my son “what’s up with all the rubber duckies on jeep dashboards?”. He didn’t know either. I figured it was just some dumb jeep thing. It is.
_Ducks on Jeeps are a result of the tradition of "Jeep Ducking", which is when Jeep owners leave rubber ducks on other Jeeps. The practice started in 2020 and has become a popular way for Jeep owners to spread kindness and community _

If I wake up at 3pm, and then eat my first meal at around 7pm or 8pm, is it obnoxious to post pictures of that meal in the breakfast thread instead of the dinner thread?

IMHO, no

Breakfast for dinner is a common method of dealing with a lack of culinary motivation. Not that some person won't grab the opportunity to give you a hard time now that you've asked.

Grammy winner: Beyoncè for Country album of the year. I listen to Country music every day, never heard a Beyoncè song, not once. Hear Lainey Wilson every time, no Beyoncé. Maybe she made an album, I don't know, but I have yet to hear it on any Country station.
So, what are the odds that next years Gospel Album of the Year goes to Ozzy Osbourne? I mean, why not? Maybe a Christmas special in the works?
We live in an age of miracles and wonders. And puzzlement.

Absolutely a Jethro Tull Best Metal repeat..... Want to call it Gospel..... maaaayyyyyybbbbeeeee......? I'm not a big country listener.... Country to me... and hip hop.... I feel like it's a feeling, a life style. I'm not country. I live in a big city, no pickup, no dirt roads. I dunno... just my thoughts.... but she ain't country...... billionaire.....
I could go for Tull. I saw them in concert more than any other group, probably 5 times. Saw a lot of groups in the early 70's, remember some, too.

Someplace I still have what I think was called a Baseball T from a Tull Boston
Garden show back in 1979+/- a year or two.
My FB feed has been especially strange lately because I don’t know who Kendrick Lamar is except for what I learn from the headlines I keep getting in my feed, but they are desperately trying to make me know things about him and make me know how others feel about him. I don’t click on the articles. Probably they noticed my brief pause to read the headline and it prompted them to bombard me with more and more.
During the Super Bowl halftime show, will there be a wet t-shirt volleyball game counter-programmed on any network or website? If not, why not? Huge money maker.
So a homonym is a word that sounds the same or is spelled the same as another word.
Words that sound the same, like “sun / son,” are called homophones – a type of homonym.
Words the are spelled the same, whether they sound the same like “duck” or don’t sound the same, like “wind,” are called homographs – another type of homonym.
Words that both sound the same and are spelled the same (like “duck”) are called heterographs.
Words that are spelled the same but don’t sound the same (like “wind”) are called heteronyms.
Late night thoughts…
We live in a world now where a vast number of people feel the need, desire, and maybe even the compulsion to know everything. People want to see and know what everyone else is doing. People mirror the “evil” companies that do the same thing by gathering their information from devices. Knowledge seems to be the world’s worst addiction. But is it actually knowledge? In my opinion, absolutely not. But people feel it is. The endless search for what some consider knowledge has consumed large throngs of our society. I just wonder how many lives this search has destroyed. The search for false knowledge in what we know as the internet. This symbolism struck me hard for some reason last night.
Genesis 2:16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

“Tradition” that started in 2020🤔

I believe it has been going on for longer than 2020. I remember seeing it on them before 2020, but maybe that's when it went national.

You just want to see the world burn, don't you.
My disagree.
Your disagree has been trumped by Peter's agree since he gifted you his 8x80.... So spill it.. What did you do with your 8x80?

Two words that are pronounced exactly the same, and have exactly opposite meanings.
raise - verb - 3 a : to set upright by lifting or building
raze - verb - 1 : to destroy to the ground : demolish
Raise - infrequent - A small increase in pay that never seems to keep up with inflation.
