Whimsy always WINS

[prideprejudce]

so today a public health official guy came into my class to give a lecture on disaster awareness and he was talking about house fires and mentioned that the reason people most likely die during a house fire is because they refuse to leave their pet inside or they go back to get their pet. and right when he said this my friend immediately turned his head and looked at me and in that moment I had the most complete and genuine acceptance take over my body. I would 100% in front of my family and Jesus himself walk straight back into some raging inferno that was once my house to go get my fat cat. I nodded back

[prideprejudce]

the best part of this post is reading all the tags from animal people who would also go back to save their pets. like no hesitation. walk backwards from heaven straight back into hell. someone even said they would go back for their fish. amazing

[sterna-hirundo]

If you are a person who would walk into a blazing inferno for your animal, and your pet has free movement around the house, here’s a training exercise that could help save you both:

1) Set off your smoke alarm or play the sound on your phone (if your home has no smoke alarms, pease get some!)

2) stand BY THE FRONT DOOR to hand out treats

Do this a couple times and then keep it up NO EXCEPTIONS. Accidentally set the alarm off cooking? Treats by the door. Smoke alarm sound on TV? Treats by the door. Changing your smoke alarm batteries twice a year like you’re supposed to? Give them a test run and your pets get treats by the door.

Most dogs and cats will clue in VERY quickly that hearing that specific sound means go to the front door and wait for treats.

If there’s an emergency and even if you leave by another way, you will still know the most likely place your pet(s) is and can direct first responders to help.

You can also do this for any other kind of emergency alarm. My friend had both her cats trained to go to the front door for a tsunami siren.

Luckily this isnt a me problem simply because every time we open the door my stupid tiny dog tries to escape and go fight God or Squirrel, so therefore, she will go eat the mailman first. The fish though… we’ll need a game plan for the fish

[totally-cis-offical]

What if you put the fish in water? To protect them from the fire?

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

No way! Girl are you hearing yourself right now? What if they died? Water is dangerous for fish…

Watching the summer Hikaru died rn

Objectively it’s really impressive they’ve managed to make this genre of horror weirdly intimate.

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

Ok, so a while ago I posted a poll about translink, and reportedly, everyone has different opinions depending on the game. Therefore, we probably need to get meticulous with it.

The Problem: I’m gonna be so fr I am not locked into the lore, I have played like. 3 Zelda games, all I know about the rest is what the fanfics tell me. So therefore: how many Links should I include in these polls???

Naturally there needs to be another poll, so: How many links should be trans polled?

Links from each different game (tedious, scary)

Time Perioded links (like link from 1988-1998, or something)

Links but sequels stack (so Botw and Totk link are the same link, for example.)

Links but only the relavent ones (highly debatable, I might get jumped)

Narrow it to like, three popular links, and have them compete for most trans

Do polls for each trans category with every link as an option to see who wins

Voting ended onJun 1

Please send help I’m very indecisive.

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

Thank you for all responses! Guess sequels are stacking !

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

it’s June

happy pride month

my contribution to pride is taking my deadname off of my walls and putting a rainbow flag up instead.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Hey. Things are going to get better.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

You cannot prevent it.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Yes I am threatening you with a good time.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Have A Good Day, Bitch

[cheeso]

they should make the strongest guy ever and the weakest guy ever have a fight so we can see who wins

[cheeso]

i feel like the weak guy has an in because the strong guy might not be used to the matchup

also it could be that the weak guy is so small that he dodges all of the strong guys punches. and all of his own weak hits would add up on the strong guy as this happens

[cheeso]

on the other hand the weak guy is basically done in one if he gets hit

[cheeso]

unless he survives that hit then its like he has another chance

[cheeso]

ive thought about this for over 1 minute now and theres basically no way the strong guy wins

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

Who’s gonna tell ‘em they did this in the bible

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

I think there are some hobbies and interests like, literally everyone should know

and the only reason they don’t is because of a stupid reason. Like sewing. Everyone should know how to sew a button or fix a tear in a shirt. Basic sewing knowledge can save so many shirts and bags and blankets it’s objectively really useful.

knowing how to use basic tools and power tools is also objectively really useful. Not having to call the repair guy over minor issues will save so so much money.

but like because of sexism a lot of people only learn one or don’t learn either.

oh, also, everyone should be taught asl or their country’s equivalent. Knowing how to sign to someone is really useful in like, any number of situations, from your throat hurts to they’re deaf, and there is like no reason the general population can’t at least fingerspell besides ableism I guess.

anyways, that’s my Ted talk

Who makes the porn bots. Where do they come from. What do they hope to achieve.

Who makes the porn bots.

they hope to achieve.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[mellointheory]

and what about you, little haiku bot? do you feel kinship with your brethren? do you understand them? they speak words of enticement and seek love, but are met with disdain. you only parrot the words that cross your screen, but we all love you. or rather, since all you do is reflect us, maybe we simply love ourselves through you.

do you understand them, do you wish you could speak to us like they do? if you found your own voice, would we still care for you?

[the-haiku-bot]

My voice repeats what

you all say: I love you I

love you I love you.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[thenewborndeity]

This. This is the first time. The only time. That it was not an echo. It was not found. Oh god.

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

When I murder all the robots Haiku bot can be an exception

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

Just found out there’s a word limit for polls.

devastated.

How am I going to overexplain every option for a poll now!? It’s a tragedy for sure </3

i talk about how much i would pay to read the entirety of mdzs but from lwj's pov but my god what i would do to read tgcf from hc's pov that man was going through it

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

every day I think about the fact that objectively from any other perspective Svsss is. Horrific??

you wake up one day and Shizun is different. you’re not sure what’s wrong but something has replaced him—and for some reason, every time you’re around him you feel like you’re being watched.

Listen I’m not a Yue Qingxuan fan but.. like. Your martial brother, your former best friend who has always acted a certain way with you is.. gone, replaced by this weirdly smiley fake, and it’s your fault.

anyways Hua Cheng or Lwj’s POV would be fun!

the man, the myth, the legend:

-lame

-why it gotta be a man

-too definitive

the rumor, the legend, the mystery:

-something whispered in an alleyway or through a crack

-part of our history

-ambiguous. whimsy. interesting. exciting. could be anyone. could be anya-one.

-alive?

-dead?

-who knows

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

TRUEEEEEEE

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

Ty to all who participated in my poll! I may make more in the future about translink because it’s clearly a debated topic

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

hot take of the day:

standing is awful and I hate it

walking? Necessary

sitting? Preferred

running? At least you’re going fast

but walking? You’re just standing there, doing NOTHING. Awful. It’s awful.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I just had an argument with someone who was like “why would we settle for food stamps when we could have universal basic income?”

And it’s just like. People need food right now you know.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Hippie church moms donating quinoa chips to my local food bank have done more for me materially than any internet idealist ever has.

[what-even-is-thiss]

People get pissed at me for being a pragmatist in my political ideals but I’ve been in the position where I was out of food right now.

And who helped me with that? Not people calling for some nebulous revolution. Not people telling me that the system was useless. Not people preaching at me to grow my own food. It was a church food bank partially funded by the state of Texas that some southern hippies donated a bunch of Whole Foods nonsense to.

And you know what? I’m sick and tired of defeatism. What can we get done right now, huh? Are you gonna accept something a bit better to help people right now or are you waiting for your perfect utopia to come to you?

Yeah, UBI is better than the quinoa chips. Sure. But right now the quinoa chips are stopping people from going hungry and if all we can do is get the food bank quinoa chips to more people, then I say so be it. That’s something. I’ll almost always take baby steps over nothing.

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

for a better world we got to fight like hell and the best way to start is by making sure people aren’t starving right now.

[hazelofthebasilvariety]

There’s something about this that feels symbolic to me
