Just another morning commute to work in Los Angeles...but at least they got those straws under control!!!

You da man! It's now officially proven you can make the front page with 19 upvotes.

I think gifs can do that. It's tougher for a meme to do that. I had a meme get to the front page with 22 upvotes, but that was the only time that happened for me with under 25.

Memes can get there in the lower twenties if the upvotes come fast enough and there's no downvotes against it.

Yeah, the downvotes make a difference. When I do political memes, they generally take longer to get to the front page. I still wish I could see the downvotes. I miss the upvote/downvote bar. lol

I do too kinda...it would be nice to know for sure just how many of each we're getting again.

Well until someone shows other wise I'm giving you the honor of first with under 20!

Cuz I'll probably forget...LOL

I remember when you could see all the downvotes. The best I ever did was 105 upvotes without a single downvote. lol

Hmm... makes you wonder. I just checked and I've only done 4 GIFS in my flip career. I did two 2 years ago because Virginia Penny begged me too. (I think her and Kimberly and Craziness are one in the same. The third one I did has been stuck in submitted since July 4th 2017 :)

The 4th one was a repost during repost week. Just not a GIF guy I guess.

LOL! That's definitely one of the best "hold my beer" moments ever on the 4th of July. Wonder what the mods saw in it that it still has not featured after 13 months!

Who knows man...maybe it's because dude got seriously hurt...or something like that.

That's awesome!!! It was on page 2 with 15 upvotes when I left for work this morning and the next time I got a chance to look it already had 32. Gifs seem to have their own set of rules for better or worse...

Is this a strawman? :-p

That's crazy that the gas didn't blow!!!

The gas station owner probably defended it against the fire with water hoses &c.

Looking up the talk of banning straws was interesting. Plastic takes up to 400 years to degrade into the envorment. Also, they cost millions of dollars a year to make. Plasic itself is an issue that needs talking about. My biggest concern is those with disablities who need the straws. They should make alternatitves before making such a ban. Otherwise, I think it's a good start.

These are inexpensive stainless straws, they even come with a little rubber thing so that you don't freeze you lips to them.

Works for me.

If only people could work on more than just one problem at a time! LOL

You may complain about the straw thing; but when you consider the negligence of the current administration and its refusal to combat the climate change that is making these fires worse and worse every year, I'd take every victory for environmental justice that I can get if I were you.
