@biasedbodilybeing
Just saw someone with “use whatever pronouns you use for yourself for me” in bio. I honestly never considered the depth the pronoun metagame could have, we’ve barely scratched the surface with this shit
get on @nerf-cat's level
blocked blocked blocked blocked!
none of you possesses the mandate of heaven!
Blocks. . . as in BRONZE blocks!?
As in BLOCKS of moveable type!?
Brilliant! Such a technology would allow books to be reproduced en masse, without the need for laboriously reproducing books by hand! This would greatly increase the number of copies of books that we could create, as well as greatly reduce the incidence of copying errors!
OH! And if my new alphabetic syllabary takes off, then instead of hundreds of blocks for different ideograms, a case of printing blocks could include dozens of copies of each letter, thus allowing for more rapid deployment and a much more efficient storage of the printing blocks!
This could lead to a literacy revolution! We could mass produce texts for the common people! Everyone, not just the elite scholars, could study the works of the great Confucianist masters, thus increasing loyalty, filial piety, and virtuous behavior!
Brilliant!
DELETE YOUR BLOG
Of course! Anything for the illustrious First Emperor of the Middle Kingdoms!
Update: I have consulted the court historians, and they have told me that it is not possible for me to delete official government records, and that my request to do so will be added to the sillok.
ABDICATE!!!!
FIRST KILL ALL THE COURT HISTORIANS AND THEN FUCKING ABDICATE
AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION I AM NOT THE FIRS T EMPEROR OF THE '"MIDDLE KINGDOMS"" I AM THE FIRST EMPEROR PREIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM THE GLORIOUS PROGENITOR THE FIRST OF THE FIRST A GOD AMONGST MEN I INVENTED THE FUCKING JOB THERE IS NONE BEFORE ME AND NONE WHO CAN MATCH ME I AM HEAVEN'S SPEACIAL BOY!!!!!!!!!!
Oh dear! I have addressed the First Emperor by an improper title! Such shame! Such an embarrassing gaffe! I shall ask the royal scholars to make the subject of my next royal lecture the proper forms of address in the Qin courts.
As for the other matter, I shall consult with the Jip Hanjeon for their advice in this matter.
After consulting with the great minds of my kingdom, it has been decided that committing mass murder of the court historians and fleeing the castle is not in line with the teachings of Confucius, and does not adhere to the concepts of benevolent governance.

If you've got a mostly empty bobbin and are about to do a bunch of visible topstitching it's best to temporarily switch to a full bobbin and then go back to the mostly empty one when you're back to doing stitching that won't show.

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

r/knitting post of the day by u/Optimus_FineAsHell:
I was unknowingly working on a 35 foot long blanket for years
I started a blanket 10 years ago and put it down shortly after starting. It was on 30” circulars and I just kept casting on until I couldn’t fit anymore stitches. I was new to the hobby so I figured it would just be “blanket sized.”
I picked it back up about 6 months ago determined to finally finish this thing. I transferred it to 60” circulars to give myself more working space, and during that transfer I counted 450ish stitches, but that would just be a big king sized blanket right? So I kept going. But after about 9 balls of yarn and only 2 feet in length finished, I gave up and decided I would just crochet the blanket instead.
Halfway through my crocheted version, I ran out of yarn and made the sad decision to frog the knitted project for salvage yarn. After removing the circular needles, I thought it’d be interesting to see how wide the blanket actually was.
After straightening it all out I stared at my work, utterly dumbfounded, that I had been working on a 35 foot wide blanket this whole time. I am SO GLAD I did not finish this project as I would’ve cried at the monster I had brought into the world.
tl;dr - You should really pay attention to the size reference chart on your yarn and count the stitches when free-handing as a newbie.
And finally, the blanket:

How did it get up there
It’s difficult to tell - typically light fixtures are installed using some combination of screws and brackets to affix them to the wall, but in this case the actual point of connection is obscured by a cat.

Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
since this post blew up, i've been wanting to do an addition with all of the recommendations from the comments and tags. but there's a lot of them. some people might be crazy enough to sit down and seriously put them all in one post with descriptions. those people are honestly sick in the head.
anyway, here's all of the recommendations from the reblogs. not all of them are text-based, but it's a great mixture of styles. also don't forget the links in the second paragraph of the OP which will take you to FMHY where there are a bunch more games listed.
