Give it a try. So much nicer.

Tangent but.. Wow it didn’t even occur to me that paludariums were so named because that’s the type of ecosystem they are mimicking, rather than some guy named Paul invented a cool-style terrarium/aquarium merger.. (example below)

TIL!

I only shave my legs when pulling up my ski socks (knee-high, tight enough to not fall down, but I’ve never been skiing) causes pain from pulled hairs. And sometimes when I go to a pool. So like maybe 5-8 times a year.

I don’t wear shorts or skirts above the ankle, so I really don’t care most of the time.

That’s ok, they will be fine whenever we go collect them, and there are probably already tons up there. They can have a party with their distant relatives!

My trick to not having fur on me is wearing permanent press and other sleek fabrics (spandex blends, silk type feel, or otherwise just smooth). They tend to be less… sticky? Less clingy for hair anyway. And if not those, then very fuzzy fabrics that absorb the hair until it gets washed (comes out in the dryer) or blends in and becomes part of the fabric.

My couch is covered with a microfiber blanket with the less fuzzy side up (one side is that pilling type of soft fuzz, that side is down, the other side doesn’t pilll and has space between the fibers) and the cat hair sort of sinks into it and comes out in the dryer. I use one of those for my bed as well. It’s not perfect, but it works super well for me. I wash those blankets all at the same time so I don’t have the spreading problem I guess, it also doesn’t really come out until it gets into the dryer.

On the plus side, this does show that all the plastic we have put into the environment has been a niche energy source just waiting to be exploited.

Now think about all the plastic surface area in the oceans and stuff, I bet there are other things, bacteria and microfauna, which are actively adapting to consume it.

People keep posting this around but the changelog indicates that’s a super recent alteration.. and probably bad faith.

I’m guessing Henrietta Lacks, since she’s probably got a bone to pick with the research community as a whole. I bet she’s got some special accommodation with the universe to be brought back constantly as a stream of lab animals, just to fuck with the data.

Revenge is a dish best served confusingly.

That’s a really solid point, but they make it difficult to have proper situational awareness, so use cautiously.

Bdsm sub.

They take the pain but are in control of the situation (if done correctly).

I was on memmy before as well

I use voyager, it’s a bit buggy in annoying ways but overall good, some images still don’t load. Thunder is also good, I use that as a backup to check things sometimes, images load a bit more consistently, but no idea about videos. Iirc that’s also android, so that’s fun.

I also have Avalon because it’s compatible with beehaw being a few versions behind, but haven’t used it enough to recommend or not.

Pretty sure they mean non-Americans who can’t vote in our elections.
