dyson zone 

When you lock dyson engineers in a room for 6 years without any supervision. they do genuinely work. when I first tried them the visor part smelled bad and had to offgas for a few days. which is ironic when they’re meant to stop vocs from being inhaled.
the dyson zone is a pair of headphones with an air purifier in them. sound quality is good. makes the wearer look like one of the members of daft punk, a supervillain or a character from a cyberpunk film or video game. they’re designed for protection against air pollution and people say they work well during wildfires.

Dyson zone

How are these things still good in 2026 I can’t believe it
The Dyson zone which are headphones with a built in air purifier still hit hard in 2026.

Dyson zone

To summarise:
Quite heavy but not uncomfortable, feels like it's going to fall off if you look down and likely will so could be modded with a strap to go around the back of the head to keep it on

Large and cumbersome to carry around

Visor looks extremely weird and attracts stares

ANC excellent, among the very best (sounds like it's more than good enough to dampen the noise from the purifier)

Sounds on par with the other usual headphones, xm6, AirPods Max, Bose, sennheiser, or whatever other Bluetooth headphones are around

Battery life with purifier quite short, excellent if you use them as normal headphones (1.5-4 hours or 50 hours respectively)

My city not polluted enough for it to make a big difference except some parts where ppl smoke and vape their asses off like bloody steam locomotives

Still cool nonetheless and a lot cheaper since they came out, down to 240 from 1000. Great for cosplay as a cyberpunk character or something as that’s exactly what you look like wearing them.
The Dyson zone is a good idea definitely.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
