I am now accepting asks to make people uncomfortable
Aka Sell me details of your life to make you uncomfortable.
I am still accepting asks to make people uncomfortable
I am done accepting asks to make people uncomfortable.
Instead I am offering amateur psychological assistance.

A warrrior with abundant osteoptimism and one more skeleptical re: bone toughness.
Op I want you to know that “I don’t drink enough milk to be that confident in my bones” is now something I will say at every opportunity
Ants be like that
I used to keep track of the different ant colonies in my yard as a child and it was the wildest shit. You could tell the difference between colonies by colors & pattern if you looked closely enough. They’d stage ant wars on the sidewalks that lasted days, just ants murdering each other, and the cleanup afterwards would last days longer as the survivors pick up and carry away the carcasses. Once I saw a war happening between the colony that lived under the berry bush and a colony I didn’t recognize, and evidently the berry colony lost, because after the war their nest site was empty… and then a few days later was inhabited by the other colony that had fought them.
Once at a lake I saw an ant travel like 3 meters across flat rock carrying a dead ant, and he kept going until he got to the cliff side and then kept going down towards the water, and he didn’t stop until he got to where the rock was wet. Then he stood there for a few seconds, dropped the corpse into the water, waited a little longer, and then headed back the way he came. I feel like I witnessed a ceremony
At risk of sounding like a hater and an asshole this looks like AI and if its somehow not, the editor who reworked images and sharpened them up made it look like AI
Edit: yeah its AI
This is the actual image (from a 6 year old reddit post so def not AI). Either someone asked AI to recreate it or AI, being the plagiarism machine it is, was asked for a pic of dogs finding humans in the snow and just ripped off the first image it could find. Another reminder that AI doesn't actually create anything. Also real cute dogs.
Actually a fantastic example for when you need to illustrate to someone that AI art is theft, blatantly, and not in some abstract way
i love when people on the internet get denied stuff and you find the most innovative minds of the generation dedicated to making goddamn sure other people get what they want come hell or high water
I like the idea in fantasy that humans are better at maintaining things long term because they set up societies or professions to do it whereas dwarves and elves and stuff are like “just get bob to do it he’s got a good few hundred years left” and then bob doesn’t teach anyone else how to do it
Elf: How have you kept this castle maintained for a thousand years if your lives are so short?
Human: We just train new people how to do it?
Elf: *gears visibly turning in their head*
Human: Are you alright?
Elf: I just realized that we didn’t have to let that whole city fall to ruin just because my grandfather died.
Human: What?
Human: Wait that’s why there’s ruins of elven cities even though you live for so long? You just keep not asking people how to do things? How do you learn anything?
Elf: There’s a lot of “you’ve got time to figure it out on your own” attitudes floating around in our society that I’m starting to question somewhat.
Elf: That sword, where did you get it?
Human: My cousin made it.
Elf: Impossible! Those metalworking techniques were lost a hundred years ago!
Human: What do you mean lost? My great-grandmother learned to make these swords from an elven smith, then taught it to her kids.
Elf: That's ridiculous. No elf would give such secrets to a human.
Human: They didn't. Meemaw delivered the metal to the forge, and no one kicked her out when she stayed and watched. She always said they barely acknowledged her even when doing business with her, like she wasn't worth noticing.
Elf: Come to think of it, my great-uncle always was rather single-minded when he started working.
Human: So he wasn't ignoring her, he just forgot she was there?
Elf: Oh, he was definitely ignoring her, too. He was super racist.
Robot girlfriends who interface with a USB cable while they sleep so they can feel the closeness, but they keep each other awake by accidentally sending system popups that say "I love you <3" and making the other girl's fans kick on, and the noise keeps them up until she calms down, but then she accidentally sends a system popup that-
see I'm not sure if USB is the ideal choice here - I get that it's pretty much ubiquitous, but for one it's explicitly a host-client protocol where the host directly controls the flow of communication making it difficult to negotiate any kind of open traffic between two equivalent devices (this is why you generally can't just connect two computers together via USB to transfer files like you could with old serial "COM" ports for instance)
secondly, USB generally doesn't have any real locking tabs or screws to keep connectors securely locked in place meaning they're easy to accidentally jiggle around or even just pull out of their sockets, losing connection and possibly even physically damaging the port itself. Finally, USB cabling is still somewhat cluttered with so-called "charging" cables, which look like ordinary USB cables on the outside but only have the positive voltage and ground wires actually present and skip any of the data wires for the sake of cheapness, potentially resulting in frustrated searching for a proper USB cable when you're tired and just want to go to sleep.
Might I instead suggest using Ethernet:
the humble RJ45 connector not only typically incorporates a locking tab to prevent accidental disconnections, but the Ethernet protocol is directly built for network communication between two or more clients without needing an explicit host to manage it - it also easily allows for expanding the girlfriend number into a polycule by way of incorporating an ethernet hub or switch to allow multiple drop-in/drop-out connections to the network, and if you're concerned about charging then Power-over-Ethernet, or PoE, has you covered.
of course if all else fails there is always still the good old DE-9, RS-232 compliant serial port which, while absurdly slow by modern standards, is both extremely simple, highly robust, and can be securely screwed in place to keep the connection rock solid.
as a bonus, the COM port also allows for remote, long-distance modem connections via telephone line (or any kind of audio transmission, really) by way of modems.
Come on, why would you leave crucial part of the knowledge in the tags?
Wow, so robot girlfriends who interface with an Ethernet cable while they sleep?

People used to comment on web comics.
People used to comment on fanfiction.
People used to comment on fanart.
People used to comment on OCs.
I hate "content" culture.
I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.
People used to be excited about the art that other people created.
People used to want to share that excitement with creators.
I hate this future.
Once someone tagged art that I made with "woah" and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said "oh neat" once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don't even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I'd probably cry from joy.
I'm also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it's hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.
I honestly hadn't stopped to think about this until I saw this post... I used to think people would get annoyed if they were notified everytime someone posted a comment on their art. I never thought about it being like fanfiction and that they might appreciate comments. Frick, that means I'm part of the problem on here. Thats gotta change.
Every tag, every comment, every reblog with some kind of reaction/opinion or even just one word. All of these things are precious to creators!
I spent countless hours reading and rereading tags full of love people left under my art. All the people i could gift a laugh to or even inspire with something I made mean more to me then you could ever know.
It's what makes me proud of my art!
And to think that you could have enjoyed my art in silence and I would have never known.
A very special shout out to the person who tagged "these mcgriddles make me want to shit so bad" on fanart in 2013 I think about you once a day
Huh, maybe I can use my yearning for people to talk to me against my worry that I'll just annoy people if I talk to them
Look at me, consuming content
Game idea: you've got a series of spells you can use, which you cast by typing them.
But enemy bosses can attack your keyboard. Your "E" key is disabled. FIREBALL is out. ICE9? Also out. Guess they're getting hit with SUMMON FROG.
The bosses can also drop traps on your keys. So if N is trapped, you can cast SUMMON FROG, but the N-trap will go off and you'll take damage.
An advanced late game spell is THESAURUS, which lets you reanalyze a spell. Can't do SUMMON NIGHT WOLF because your N key is broken? THESAURUS it and now it's CREATE DARK DOG.
Another enemy attack would be putting a counter on your keys. So if they put a 1 on your R, you can cast "FIREBALL" but "CIRCLE OF TERROR" is right out.
The two can be combined: a trapped counter only goes off if you type more than the counter. So a trapped 2 on your S means "HEAL SELF" is fine but "TRANSFORM SELF TO SERPENT" will activate the trap and you'll take damage.
One late game boss attacks you by cutting your keyboard in half, and which half works alternates between turns. You gotta figure out which spells you can use that turn.
You could do some fun gimmick-fights. Like a boss sweeps your keyboard off the table and makes you play scrabble instead: you have to spell spells to cast them.
Or wheel of fortune, where you have to get enough money to be able to buy vowels before you can cast spells with vowels in them. The puzzle on the board is a spell the boss is going to cast against you, so it's also a fight against time. If you correctly guess too many letters, they'll solve and you'll get hit with the spell.
I think the way it works is that you fight some mooks and then a boss, and each boss has a new spell they can cast against you.
But you can cast any spell you've seen used against you, so like you start with merely FIREBALL but the first boss hits you with HIGH JUMP, and now you can use that ability out of battle, cause it's a metroidvania of course, and now new areas are accessible.
But bosses can use "forbidden" spells against you, and they do it by typing words you can't.
Like the viking boss hits you with a OÄNDLIG FJÄRIL and you don't have that letter.
(later you can upgrade your keyboard to get access to some forbidden letters, but at great cost: you must sacrifice a letter to gain it, and you don't get to pick which letter the keyboard surgeon will take)
Obviously I'd want to title it Mavis Beacon Teaches Witchcraft but, you know, laws.
SAY ANYTHING in this bizarre dungeon adventure where words control everything. Fill in the blanks with text or voice to uncover lost abiliti
Good news - that game exists and it’s fun as hell.
