Honestly, my first thought was that it sort of looked like a Mario level.

The only interaction I’ve seen between a T-Rex and a collar is that one scene from The Lost World. Based on what I saw there, I have to assume that collars wouldn’t really work for them.

I was very surprised to discover it was her in Room (not The Room).

I don’t know.
My dad explained it to me as “men like long legs” and that’s all the context I have.
If you figure out more, I’d long to have the context myself. I never really got those movies.

Strongly agreed!

I learned the from Daniel Radcliffe.

I don’t know, but my dad definitely didn’t want to explain this scene to me when I was a kid.

“Fresh” might be a stretch.

They should.
- Comment on Homer Simpson irl 2 weeks ago:
The brain is “plastic” when you’re young, we like to say. That is, it’s pliable and can mold into whatever shape it needs to in order to adapt to your environment. That plasticity disappears once you get older
So it’s good that we’re getting microplastics in our brains because it allows easier development as we age!

My advisor liked to joke that I was cursed.
It didn’t have quite the same level of personal impact, but I used to associate with a geologist who said something similar about me and geodes.

I’ve wondered in the past why, for example, 1000 kilometers are still referred to as kilometers.

Ah, on zooming out, that makes sense. It’s been a while since I watched that. Thanks for the information!
- Comment on This Puddle of Mudd remake is way more mild than I remember the original being 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think I ever experienced that, but it sounds fascinating.
- Comment on This Puddle of Mudd remake is way more mild than I remember the original being 2 weeks ago:
That’s fair. Apologies for misinterpreting your joke.
- Comment on This Puddle of Mudd remake is way more mild than I remember the original being 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t what I would think of as a dad joke, but I am a dad and was making a joke … And it is a joke that primarily old people would enjoy … So I acknowledge your point.
- Comment on Ah shit. Here we go again. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s correct, other than maybe technically (yes, the best kind). Excrement, itself, is dirty; when inside of you, it’s mostly contained, but while traveling outside of you it leaves deposits on your skin. Your insides might be (debatably) cleaner, but your outsides - where it usually matters most in terms of cleanliness - won’t be. Otherwise, we wouldn’t wipe or have bidets.
Besides that, there are secondary impacts. For example, assuming you’re in a place with modern plumbing and not camping or an outhouse or something, you should probably flush when you’re done. This causes a toilet plume. Personally, I don’t think this is enough to be considered “dirty,” but I definitely would describe it as “less dirty.”
Finally, partially depending on both your toilet type and body type, even if you’re eliminating sanitized waste, there will still be interactions with several parts of the commode. Especially in public, that is definitely not a hygienic experience.

I’ve also heard that honey helps to confer resistance to allergies to things that were in the area where the honey was made. As such, OP might be missing out on environmental defense by not diversifying.
