Dad used to say he didn't like small dogs because they were "rats" well guess who has a bunch of small dogs and regularly picks up the smallest dog and carries her around?

He also wasn't really a fan of cats but guess who likes him best? Both cats.

Me: *looks in some occulture tags*

Tumblr occulture: *mad at Hellenic polytheists for some reason*

Me, glancing sidelong at my Aphrodite statue: Aphy are you seeing this shit?

do you ever daydream about suddenly losing your ethical background and making your fortune off of inventing something like Runic Astrology

[toskarin]

such norse gods as yggdrasil and the rest of the pantheon

[intercal]

it's pretty cool that I can plug in a picture of a plant and ask chatgpt what it is and get a pretty reliable answer back. the neighbors to the south have a tree that dips into my yard and it's growing some kind of fruit that I discovered are most likely walnuts. neat!

[faerevolution]

ur gonna lose your shit when you find out about iNaturalist then

[clockedtomb]

I cannot emphasize enough how much you should not eat something based on chatGPT telling you that it is safe to eat.

[intercal]

I'm gonna

[myconetted]

the inat vision model is legit head and shoulders above all the llms. idk why. however, don't trust any app, no matter how good, for an identification of something you're about to eat.

also til walnuts are a fruit. what the fuck

[the-real-seebs]

yeah, we had a walnut tree in my back yard when i was a kid, and i was a little surprised to discover that walnuts are green things a little too small to be a tennis ball, and then later the green stuff falls off and you have a nut.

[chekhovs-raygun]

iNaturalist is an archive uploaded and maintained by actual humans with real knowledge of their subject. i can upload a weird little bug and in a day someone who is PASSIONATE about this specific type of weevil has shown up to let me know what it is.

chatGPT only knows that pictures that look like X are statistically highly correlated with identification Y. there are so many white mushrooms out there that look like portobellos but if you nibble them they unzip your dna. poisonous hemlock flowers look like wild carrot blossoms. cyanide-filled peach pits are almost identical to almonds. a LOT of things that look like crabapples are only edible if you're a bird. do not ever trust an AI to identify an edible plant. you have a nonzero chance of deleting your liver.

@intercal this is a good watch if ypu want a professional's advice on which apps are most reliable (and why you might die)

Had to take a shot of the pan before plating. I added chicken.

Yes it smells delicious

Making biryani using a kit and the included aromatics smell really good

This is the one I have.

The included aromatics are cinnamon sticks, green cardamom, cloves, black pepper and a bay leaf. My rice is going to be the best smelling rice!

The Canadian government is talking about celebrating Pride season (all summer basically) and the homophobes are very mad about it.

I do appreciate the sentiment but a month is fine (pride is year round for me anyways).

I am baking for the first time with the new oven

UPDATE:

Important animal update

The animals now have a kiddie pool.

I told dad if Elvis uses it he's to send me pictures because Elvis LOVES water

This has been an important animal update.

[gefdreamsofthesea]

So I started Tales of Seikyu, saw Kon and was like "Who put Elvis in this game???"

She's a fox and your little sister.

I love her.

Elvis for comparison.
