🌌 we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars

That makes sense, that it would be your subconscious alerting. In a similar vein, whenever I know I need to shower first thing in the morning (as opposed to before bed), I often dream of showering on the bed. Yes, like standing on the mattress on top of all the sheets and pillows and blankets. Or at least somewhere in the bedroom, like on carpeted floor next to wooden furniture. I HATE those dreams so much but they keep happening.

You forgot the leaking pipes, so of course everything relatively safe to touch is also wet and cold.

For some reason I picture it as having really droopy jowls covering those canines. Like a mastiff on steroids.

Postgrad studies. 💀 I’ll take a job any day over that hell!

One of my proudest moments was when a cardiologist looked at my ECG and asked if he could show it in his course the next day. Undortunately I could remember what he saw, and the arrythmia that led me to consult went away once I quit a major source of stress.

It could be the handbrake (well, footbrake). If that’s the case, it’s unusually close to the other pedals.

Helicobacter, like Helicobacter pylori which causes ulcers.

Compare with this real concrete slide from Romania, built in 1964

Excellent at working under pressure
- Comment on Graphic Design Is My Passion 5 months ago:
The colors are delightfully retro. Especially the yellow and red, very Kodak.
- Comment on oh no 6 months ago:
Naegleria fowleri, the goddamn brain-eating amoeba, is goddamn everywhere and I goddamn hate knowing that.

I looked it up and wow, that’s crazy. Messi is basically naturally domesticated. If the medical conditions are genetic, he could be the start of a lineage of house pumas.
- Comment on Read-onlys are cancer. Post stuff you want to see. 7 months ago:
Read-onlys be like Image while upvoting
- Comment on Caption this. 8 months ago:
The base pairs are off and that irritates me more than the art - at least that has the excuse of being evocative or something.
- Comment on How did people poop before smartphones were invented? 8 months ago:
I used to do that too! But living in Eastern Europe, our shampoo bottles had like twenty languages. I didn’t manage to learn any, but I did develop a sense of how closely related they were.

Microplastics!
- Comment on Sorrows you could not comprehend 8 months ago:
Chameleon! Wartortle,
Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl,
Omanyte, Slowpoke…
That’s all I’ve got. I will shed a single tear in remembrance of happier days.

Damn this one’s good, I only noticed when scrolling back up.
- Comment on The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss 9 months ago:
Another clue it isn’t Quebec is that Quebec wouldn’t bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
- Comment on Moss 9 months ago:
You know what, the high arctic probably looks similar to that prehistoric moss-covered landscape. Because moss is pretty much the only thing that can survive there (and some very small plants).
- Comment on Larry and the Legend of the Ligand Key 9 months ago:
The joke would have worked a lot better if Larry’s friends were different shapes. There’s no visual reason why Larry is the only one that can act as the key.

When you do, please post a picture of her expression so we can compare with the fox’s.
- Comment on Becoming et al. 9 months ago:
No scholar would ever tell anyone else to become a scholar. More like “Run! Run while you can! Get away from this cursed existence!”
- Comment on Lichens are things 9 months ago:
Gotta love oligotrophy. Some lichens grow inside rocks… definitely can’t replicate that in a lab (although not for lack of trying).
- Comment on please be nice to retail workers 10 months ago:
That’s because the cost of living is a bitch. We may make 5x more but our bills might be 7x more than yours, so overall we’re worse off.
- Comment on I always order Popular Problem. 10 months ago:
I’m late to the thread but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for taking the time to write it all up! You’ve helped me understand a few things about abjads, which makes the original post even more hilarious.
- Comment on Measurements 11 months ago:
What is your professional opinion on decimal feet? I had to use such a measuring tape at work, it took me half a day to figure out what was going on with that abomination.
- Comment on Extinctions 1 year ago:
Agreed, look at all the natural variation that was lost. The newcomers don’t convey the same intensity of emotions.
P.S. “extant” means still in existence, I believe you meant “extinct” :)
