  I’ve tried / made dandelion honey and that’s basically just 1:1 as far as I can tell

  [popping out of a frog butt] listen I think you’re a dick, but still, I think you should see a doctor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  my local library recently introduced a library of things and they’ve hit a fucking homer. It’s all either things you need for like 2 weeks out of 5 years (like a machine for laminating paper), expensive hobby stuff you can try out before you drop your own cash on it (like sewing machines or button makers) or full-on throwing a rager equipment (like a karaoke machine). It is such a perfect mix of things to get on a library model. If I ever win the lottery or something I’m buying them a whole makerspace department with staff and all the equipment you could dream of.

  I gotta hand it to them, as far as wildly outlandish conspiracy theories go this is entirely internally consistent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cursed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah it vindicates my approach of packing stuff via just throwing it in there. no I’m not lazy and disorderly, this is optimal cargo space usage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sadge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Half the fun of Philomena Cunk is she’s like half right or at least you can see where she starts from.

  I’m not into comics but now i’m genuinely curious; is there a comic story where the radiation turned a woman super? Only one springs to my mind is fantastic 4s invisible woman, which, you know, there’s some subtext. I’m also not counting things like She-Hulk cause that lacks originality.

  Is there more turtles turned super by ooze or radiation than women?

  There really should be just a specific pet owners license. It’s insane that every idiot can just buy an animal and then unknowingly and with the best of intentions mistreat the fuck out of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deez peets⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Horse feet are so strange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eating shit is for alphas, am I rite guise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m oddly convinved that guys ancestors did eat all their piss and poo tbh

  Kill the lawn cop within yourself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On trees...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more of a middling ape myself honestly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Np fam⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this is part of what I like to call accounting extremism where it makes sense on paper, if you save 0,01 eurodollars a pen you probably save like 5000 eurodollars a year or so. It’s just it does not consider anything that does not fit neatly into a single line KPI in an excel table, like “does this organisation still work”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm literally a thinking lump of fat⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you should get rid of the assumption that things need to make sense to these people

  trust me I don’t but especially if I pick up the simulation thing that also seems to concern a lot of people who aren’t religious. I mean I get the religious people, it’s in direct affront to the axioms you structure your entire shit around. That makes sense to me, even if I don’t share the axioms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm literally a thinking lump of fat⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m aware it’s controversial, I just genuinely do not get why you would care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm literally a thinking lump of fat⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly I never got this. Same with the simulation thing. What’s it matter if we’re in a simulation or all I ever do is the result of some salty fat firing off neurons? I mean what am I going to do about that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hard to argue with⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!

  Not entirely convinced this is true of the people who claim 2 sharp teeth means we gotta do factory farming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Gods⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m here to report that divine punishment did get served, albeit god has a cruel sense of humor, so that specific whales jaw got sheared off by a speeding ferry, causing it to drown after hours of vocal, agonizing pain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, the point is to see something like your birthyear or maybe that good summer in your 20s being described as too old to be relevant anymore stings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stained Glass⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not with a 97% success rate but I don’t know trigonometry and can do that in war thunder. you just vibe into it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😳😳😳⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If this connection intrigues you I

  a) implore you to read SCP-6959

  b) join my new religion based on the idea that we are formed as crylaugh-emoji and we shall become crylaugh-emoji

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moths are indicator species, which means their numbers tell our scientists if an ecosystem is doing well or badly.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ecocide statistic is misleading, because they didn’t count roggebrood house which houses all moths in their greater area

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centipedes Don't Fuck⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe they’re just the cuddly-type except for the distancing-fucking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crystals⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like with all this placebo stuff you get like 10% increase in perceived well-being vs. a good 10% of the population just going full woo woo about this stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aluminum⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  when you meet a steel is real bicycle guy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quick Chat⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool idea in theory, will be immediatly overrun with people trying to discuss phrenology in reality

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linguistics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d respect that a lot more on the basis of you have to have argued yourself into that one in some way that isn’t being subservient to your elementary school teachers authority at 45

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shocking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that 25% of women did do it and 25% of men didn’t is fascinating to me. What are your favorite explanations here?

  I’m going with 25% of people of either gender are just sort of contrarians to their own gender and thus did what they think the opposite one would do. I feel like I would do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linguistics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  there’s a joke here about me rejecting the notion of what prescriptivist and descriptivist mean

  but yes, thanks, got some wires crossed there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linguistics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what my biggest problem with descriptivists is? What is “correct” always coincides exactly to what they learned in school or university from 15 - 20. It’s never anything else. Never in like 20.000 years of human history did we nail language except for that timeframe, and never will it happen again. what a coinkidink.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GLAMour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I’m swallowing this wholesale if it happened until like the early 90s or something. Maybe even later. To think of roman hairdressing styles as entirely an archeological question and never one where you might ask a hairdresser seems pretty par for the course for academia
