Remind me to show you all naked mole rat pikachu.

I learned Russian on Duolingo for the Fabergé eggs and cathedrals but then I never used it and forgot it all and am now less than impressed anyway.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 3 days ago:
Will probably watch that next it sounds kinda similar to bee and puppycat which I LOVE

Watching adventure time right now lol
- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 5 days ago:
Yeah but I’ve got ideas I have more to contribute with like my biggest project on fedi is !DIYMentalHealth@lemmy.dbzer0.com which is an effort to create a slightly more structured mental health support space that gives people specific tools and education to get by when they can’t afford a professional.
The biggest thing holding me back right now is that I think the space would really benefit from a bot. I tend to be kind of flaky and lose focus and I have all the posts written but often forget to actually post them once a week. I think if I could do that plus an automatic weekly check in thread I might be able to kickstart some better engagement.
- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 5 days ago:
I tried to make one literally called not-Amazon but pretty much everybody had an opinion on how I was doing it wrong and I just didn’t have enough emotional bandwidth to deal with it. Would be happy to be a secondary mod if somebody else has the energy to deal with those people.
- Comment on Colby Light 6 days ago:
my patented charcuterie lunch box:
- jerky
- cubed Colby Jack cheese
- mixed nuts (I like cashews and almonds but you could probably do something cheaper like peanuts)
- dried fruit (I like cranberries and apricots but again you might find something else is cheaper)
- ritz or similar store brand crackers stored separately from the other items.
I buy the ingredients in bulk and pack them in small Tupperwares. they’re great to graze with at work.

How did you miss the dabo girls.
- Comment on Break the conditioning, maximize your horsepower. 1 week ago:
OK it was what I expected.
TLDR; the “horse” part of this wasn’t the problem other than that it’s easier to purchase an unhinged quantity at a veterinary supply store. If he was reconstituting to the proper strength (being sober would have helped with that) the electrolytes themselves wouldn’t have been an issue (and honestly are actually beneficial when imbibing).
I figured it had to be, iirc from reading veterinary metabolic panel normal ranges most of us placental mammals have roughly the same electrolyte balances. Afaik it goes back to whether you have a common ancestor only before or also after leaving the ocean and that your balance is reflective of the ocean’s balance at that time.
- Comment on Anon watches redditors talk about bodycount 1 week ago:
Yeah I was gonna mention the menstrual cup thing. The fact that they perceive the vagina as a purely receptive sleeve also suggests that they’re also never had a woman orgasm on their dick. Hubs reports varying perceptibility between different episodes but that the muscular contraction is often robust.
- Comment on I can only be assertive when I'm on edge, is this normal? 1 week ago:
inb4 somebody ruder tells you it’s called a colonostomy and a scope is a camera.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy "Language" so confusing? 2 weeks ago:
tbh I think the software itself should prompt you to select your default language and undetermined or multiple should be an option for people who really just post in multiple languages. that way most people who are either monolingual or just do most of their interaction in one language can have their posts auto tagged.
- Comment on Might explain some of my dating missteps 2 weeks ago:
I say “I continue to be blessed with gainful employment.” My voice is flat enough that people can either take it as gratitude / positivity or (more likely) as a bit of my classic dry wit.
- Comment on What should I do after discovering a collection of baby spiders in my home? 2 weeks ago:
there should be spiders in your walls. they eat the worse shit. as long as they’re not recluses or widows (or whatever the actual dangerous kind in your locality are) let them stay in the vent where they belong.

I get a high skin fade and buzz all my body hair once every month or two. Really gets the airflow in all the crevices for a bit. Anything more than that seems exhausting.

- Comment on Explain Stalking to me. I have ex gf's I run into different times at the same stores. Some I keep running into store after store. Just coincidence. At what point is it stalking or something? 2 weeks ago:
I think knowing the population density and the amount of grocery stores in your area will add a lot of context to this question. Like even broadly is this either a rural area or an urban neighborhood with one real grocery store within 5 miles?

When I look up fictional characters with my Meyers Briggs type it’s literally all Loki, mercury, foxes, and other trickster spirits, and like 20 different versions of Lucifer so

Oxytocin. It’s like the opposite of post nut clarity and it’ll literally chemically bond a woman to you if you indulge it enough times.
- Comment on Im a weekly showerer 2 weeks ago:
As a psychiatric nurse can confirm; black people are objectively cleaner. Doubly so if they’re Muslim but even Christian / nonaffiliated blacks as well. I was raised redneck in a very quietly / mildly racist environment so there was this underlying mindset that black = poor = less hygiene but when I started working healthcare my perspective really changed.
Hygiene in general is very culturally dependent and honestly once a day is fairly common among whites, maaaybe every other day without causing any problems as long as they’re cleaning their hands, butts and teeth properly (if it’s less than that they’re almost certainly struggling with some kind of psychological / psychiatric problem). Black patients on average shower 2x daily (although they wash their hair much less, like weekly or every 2 weeks). They HAVE to use lotion though for their skin to tolerate that, white people usually just leave their existing skin barrier intact. Muslim patients often need accommodations (time excused from group therapy) to accommodate their prayer and hygiene schedule.

Churches actually do really cool stuff sometimes. unfortunately they are similar to governments in that they require significant time investment from good people to ensure that their community and it’s leadership are safe and effective.

Strip mall findie cult backrooms.
I’d play that.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Less “competitive” mindset I think. I feel like homophobia has resulted in a lot of men taking their pent up sexual aggression out on women when they might otherwise be able to identify themselves as bi and just work out those feelings with another dude. Instead we have all these men spiraling into emotional black holes because women don’t want them right this second. I’ve heard anecdotally that if everyone felt 100% comfortable being honest bi people would probably be the true majority. So it’s not like it would fix the incel problem but there might be few enough that they couldn’t concentrate into inescapable singularities.
- Comment on Not to get into a debate. If God is so omnipotent and above humans why does he or she have emotions? Like smiting or being upset or wrath? 5 weeks ago:
Humans anthropomorphize pretty much everything around us with varying levels of accuracy. I’m fairly certain that my dog and cat feel anger and love in a very similar way to the way I do. I’m pretty sure plants really don’t, but they might a little bit more than a storm cloud. However you apply that to your spirituality or your perception of that of others is going to be a highly personal experience for you.

Yeah hubs is right about these things about 90% of the time (me not being on those parts of the internet often) but nobody bats 100%

I’m aware. I’m telling you what someone else told me.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
The wildest part to me was the international nurse who was shocked that we cared enough about the mentally ill to put them in prison. She was like “back home if they don’t have family that’s willing to take care of them we just physically kick them out of the city and let them wander off and die.”
