I recall reading a book in the early 2010s about a toilet that came to life when it had some neon coloured chemical spilt in it. The book had lots of illustrations.

It went on adventures with this kid. I believe they went to the beach, and the living toilet also bit someone's bottom in a public bathroom. It also ate their family iirc.

The book ends by the toilet becoming a normal inanimate object again.

I remember reading a book about philosophy a few years ago, but I don't remember what it's called, despite remembering several things about it. However searching the web or asking LLMs with what I remember has proved to not find it.

Can any of you help?

What I remember

• It's ordered into chapters by topic
• It's lighthearted in tone, despite being mostly nonfiction, reminiscent of the style of What If or We Have No Idea
• They like telling stories to illustrate their points
• One topic was about identity and there was a story about two people's brains getting swapped
• There was a mention of the simulation hypothesis with aliens that put a boy inside a video game for his birthday gift because they saw he liked the game - brain in a vat
• Various time travel paradoxes and how they could be solved - diverging universes, multiple universes, closed timelike curves
• The cover was fun and bold, and it mentioned on it things that it contained inside
• One chapter was about the ethics of eating animals and there was a story about giants eating people (because people eat animals)
• There was a chapter about God
• I didn't finish it, I want to read the rest of it

Please help me find it

it was an amateurish video with green(?) men. there was a tune with lyrics:

AIGH am the [ONE|THING] [that|who] [VERB-PRES] the [NOUN-PL]. [VERB-PRES] us ?. ? ? ?. OOH— (repeat)

ex.

AIGH am the THING who GROWS the CROPS. MAKES us FOOD. FRIES up GOOD.

for each character: the frame zooms in slowly on their face, then resets on the next one.

this progresses, thru 'the THING who BUILDS the BOMBS', to 'the THING who ENDS the WORLD. KILLS us ALL.'

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to remember the name of a punk or hardcore album I listened to around 2004, though the album itself is likely older (possibly from the 80s or 90s). The cover was predominantly white and featured a crucified grasshopper (or some kind of insect) along with what seemed to be a reference to the Pope or religion.

The music was definitely punk or hardcore, but I can’t recall if the band was famous or more underground. It might have been Brazilian or international, as I’ve listened to both.

Does this ring any bells? Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

What I'm pretty sure that happens: The witch kidnaps the boy's romantic interest, turns a frog into a copy of the girl (who engages in suspicious behavior, such as eating flies), to trick the boy who invaded the witch's castle to rescue the romantic interest.

What I'm not so sure that happens: I believe that is explicit that the whole situation is happening in the boy's imagination, in a Mona: The Vampire style. I believe the boy's relationship with the girl is platonic.

I cannot remembers if is a short or long movie, or an episode from a series.

I watched it dubbed into Portuguese, between 2006-2011, replayed a few times, on one of the following Brazilian television networks: TV Cultura, TV Escola or TV Futura. From my memory, the animation style was Western, but it could be an Anime. It is possibly a European animation and more possibly from Eastern Europe, because at this time TV Cultura showed a lot of animations from the 80s from those places. I find it difficult to be American because of my difficulty in finding anything about it and because American animations were not common on these channels at that time.

This will be a bit of a stretch to explain, but I haven't heard any answers yet and I know that I'm not crazy.

There was a video, most likely from Newgrounds, that was uploaded sometime within a couple of years after Anchorman came out in the United States. It had small voice clips sequenced to music at between 120 and 125 BPM in 4/4. It was from the era of ZOMG memes and stuff like that, so it was made with Flash. I couldn't find it on Internet Archive.

This has been bothering me for years. Any leads would be amazing. Thanks.

Hey hey people,

im looking for a book i started reading as a kid but never finished.

The main character went to some kind of magic school. It was a pretty small school, only like 10 students max. They learned magic pretty early on and used it to scam people. The main character transformed into a horse and got sold to an unsuspecting person. He then intended to flee back to the other students and to get sold again. Unfortunately the person buying him, was his teacher who wasnt amused to say the least.

I stopped readying shortly after, so unfortunately i dont know any other memorable plot points. The book must be at least 10 or maybe 15 years old by now and I think it was set in a medieval setting, but im not 100% sure on that one.

Thanks in advance, fedditors. 🫡
