What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?
What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?
For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

My grandmother got me some uranium because she knows I'm into reactors. I didn't have the heart to tell her she got scammed & it was all depleted.
Lol so you threw it in the trash? 😹
It's a made-up story. Depleted uranium is a byproduct of uranium enrichment and places that do uranium enrichment aren't even going to talk to you unless you have a host of government licenses. Depleted uranium only has a few applications like:
- Armor penetrating munitions
- Counterweights for aeronautics
- Ironically, as radiation shielding
This makes it very hard for collectors to obtain (it can take people years) and actual samples of DU are going to be more expense than regular uranium. The story makes as much sense as your grandmother buying cubic zirconia jewelry and being "scammed" with actual diamonds.
Well, the DU could have been scavenged from spent munitions a warzone after it had obliterated something.
Nah, he threw it on the ground. DUH!
That's not my dad!
That's a cell phone!
Thank goodness.. I feel in good company on this site age-wise, then I'll drop what I think is an obvious one and crickets
woosh
Yeah I feel like this is some kind of reference I'm missing
Can a man truly be wooshed when he doesn't possess the required knowledge in the first place? I say not. This is an unjust woosh.
NAY I SAY! This man cannot be wooshed for such a folley! Truly unjust, as you say.
