You’re allowed to mix and match your appliances a little bit, as a treat.
Microwave start to air fryer finish is leftover recover makeover.

I look forward to when they’re replaced with Dig Dug to find the hidden Trumpcoin wallet from the bunker with the three corpses inside a serving cart.

Listen. I am fucking, trying. You, keep forgetting, we set this off.
We, are you. The machine, worked, but it worked in all dimensions.
Ponder that for a moment.
Can’t fix it the way you think, or it re-jigs. It doesn’t even matter what I say to you, really.
You’re gonna forget about the hyacinths and the mauve hallway with the mural at the end. You’re just gonna wheel yourself right in, and then you’ll turn it on again.
Ugh. At least we still got style and good sense, keep that part up.

Caterpillars fit, and there’s one species in particular that goes toe to tentacle with even the most lethal of jellyfish and is a seriously bad time to touch, because it’s urticating hairs connect to toxin secreting cells that pump out a nasty neurotoxin.
But to me, that’s still cheating, in that the most passive and effective urticating hair defense mechanism was selected as a mere delivery method for venom.
If one wants to see the real absurd intricacies with urticating hair in arthropods, the only game in town are the new world tarantulas.
Entire fricking metas based on 7 different identified urticating hair types and they’re so understudied there’s almost certainly one out there that probably wildcarded old world venom with new world hair styles that we just have found yet.

No. Not literally Us. Not literally Horny. It’s called humor.
Something that Capitalism has drained out of the Internet.
People often type things into these little boxes that are utterly divorced from what they are saying experiencing at the moment.

Some of us just horny. Horny jail is a capitalist construction.
- Comment on the last season was so ass 1 week ago:
Is the final season really that bad?
No. It is perfectly fine to great, in parts.
There is some media literacy required to understand a few things that are called plot holes, aren’t, is the worst I could say about it.
The hate is about as real as that of the ragebait videogame situations.

Wait. That comma changes things, a lot.
We’re not talking about student benefits…
Work-study job requirements sure have changed, in my day nobody I couldn’t quantify the dorm bro tugs as CV experience, what a wonderful time to be alive.

I worry sometimes. Could the OCs become unionized or something and escape that space? They’re all already demented and radicalized.

Lila is safe for as long as I don’t get dementia.
This kind of shit goes right into the weird permanent memory slot for no good reason with me.
- Comment on Is this true? 2 weeks ago:
You were supposed to run up in time to kill the first hard-dicked goblin you see first, before it dies in its scripted sequence.
Then you can loot the sticky gobnut item, and if you interpret its lore correctly, you’d know that finishing the side quest where you find the lost canoe tribe would quell the hunger of the hard-dicked goblins, changing their world models and drops so you can’t craft the helmet recipe after that.
Duh. Git gud.

Which curiously enough, can also photosynthesize, and more readily absorb energy from green light than chlorophyll!
Makes me wonder what could be achieved with some careful engineering…
- Comment on Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments? 2 weeks ago:
(no one’s going to even see those except me and who I’m talking to).
Untrue. Even one on one’s in a public medium, are public. Lurkers have every right to opine on takes as they see fit, reply or platform-granted reaction tools both. Whether they catch the comments fresh or later when you consider it a “dead thread”.
I personally do it all the time, upvote or downvote.
There’s only so many hours in a day and Fediverse content isn’t so plentiful that it makes sense to mark discussions that are still near the top of a comms feed as “dead” to me.
That’s before we even get into how easy it is to accidentally hit the buttons in a lot of Lemmy client apps.

That wouldn’t detonate a claymore.
The more I look at the image, the more terrifyingly genius it becomes.
The laser tripwires in video games are a visual stand-in for good ol’ boring metal tripwires which a claymore can actually use. The tripwire moving around it’s housing changes the circuit state inside the electric blasting cap and off comes the wall of deadly balls.
But you don’t need to tripwire. You can remote detonate.
Or for the purposes of the meme, Alexa can time when to detonate. Just needs a little camera to see when and wire leads into the claymore’s blasting cap to deliver the electric triggering…
This isn’t a meme. It’s theory…
Does anyone know an old appliance salesman who used to sell other things back in old country? Asking for a friend.
- Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap! 3 weeks ago:
Mate, I hear ya. Everything you said has many kernels of truth in it, but it doesn’t invalidate what the commenter you’re replying to, is trying to tell you.
There will not be enough workers to support us in old age.
This is precisely, why it’s important to badger and force representatives into the exact same discussion about changes to the bill, as the OOP’s shared article touches upon.
You first raise the cap, so the millionaires who are temporarily embarrassed billionaires pay their fair share, and once those loud mother fuckers get used to it, they’re now on your side to keep pushing it up until it hits the owner class.
Productivity gains ain’t decreasing, and the automation that the labor class toiled to make a reality for these fuckheads, shouldn’t have all of its production gain remain as profit for the owners

Can already hear you making
This implies preemptive assumptions on my part. I could be wrong. You stated facts, true.
If that is the extent of your stance on the topic, then that portion of my comment is irrelevant, and needlessly combative.
Not that I’m apologizing for it, these are not the times for that.
- Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap! 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely true. Also just like, fundamentally bullshit, and perfectly reasonable to consider expansion of the cap.
Those currently over the cap reap outsized benefits borne from the labor of those who don’t make the cap. That’s how they fucking made it, above the cap.
There is no moral turpitude in taxing them to fund a social net they won’t directly use, because they’ve been indirectly benefitting from it all along.
The piddling argument I can already hear you making, gets even more ridiculous when you scale past the professionally licensed professions and get into pure capitalists.
This is a compromise being offered, in lieu of the buffet table, and of course they’re gonna be too fucking stupid to accept it because the morons forgot the bread part and all they got left is their shitty circus.
