Every time ground meat is on sale I think about getting several pounds and making a lot of hamburgers to go in the freezer for lazy meals. Today, for the first time in several years, I actually did it! I now have 27 hamburgers wrapped up in the freezer to await when they are needed.

Back when the first season of Stranger Things came out, I worked out that Mike and Co. were my brother's age, which meant that I was Holly. I have always enjoyed her tiny moments, and now she gets major time. (Although, in 1987 she should be 7, and she’s being played as more like 10. But meh.)

Such a favorite book. (And series…)

I just love the mental picture the title gives me. Just huuuuge fossilized trees...

also pls tag the first game you remember playing

[zukapony]

Don’t tell me I didn’t poll! I am 43 years old and damn proud of it.

My first console was a ColecoVision

[artikgato]

In 1991 I was five years old, and I remember playing The Oregon Trail (the first one) on what had to have been an old Apple II at my school. Being five I was obviously pretty bad at playing it. This is, technically, the first game I ever played, but "played" is a strong word there.

In 1992 at the tender age of 6 I was watching older step-brothers play Sonic the Hedgehog (the first one) on a Sega Genesis. I remember being handed the controller but obviously being dogshit at playing.

In 1993/1994 I had this little tetris keychain game that I played until the internal battery ran dry. I got pretty good at it. I still consider myself to be fairly good at tetris, though I've never made it to first place in a game of Tetris 99. This is the first video game that I remember truly playing, not just mashing buttons.

In 1996, I was ten years old. My family couldn't afford to get any of the more modern consoles, but we did find an old, second-hand Atari at a yard sale, so I played the heck out of some maze game that starred Taz the Tazmanian Devil. Were it not for those experiences above, this may very well have been my first console. So, yeah, don't say "no you didn't" on the gen 1 video games. Get off my lawn you kids, etc. I'm not even 40 yet.

[judayre]

I was born in 1980. We had an Atari 2600. When I was in middle school I think we got a Colecovision. Daddy always beat me at Breakout.

One acre is huge when your only concern is mowing the lawn and keeping your grass nice.

One acre is laughably, lethally tiny when you're actually trying to live off the land (not just having a hobby garden) ESPECIALLY if you're keeping any livestock bigger than a few fowl.

That's why you hear about homesteading families in the Olden Days owning 200, 300, 600, 2,000 acres of land. They HAD to have that much or they'd go hungry and/or broke.

Depending on the size of your stock, quality of the grazing, and your husbandry practices, cows and horses need anywhere between 1 and 6 acres PER ANIMAL PER GRAZING CYCLE. You should have at least 2 grazing cycles a year.

Whoever runs theselfsufficienthomeacre dot com has clearly never actually worked the land for longer than a year.

[swimmingblue]

Yeah, that looks very iffy.

[judayre]

My wife took a class on homesteading in college. I remember seeing that diagram in one of her textbooks.

Her takeaway from the class, by the way, was noting that every homestead they visited had at least one person working outside the home because the way it's being done is not viable. If you have a community to split all of this (and the canning, pickling, weaving, quilting, etc) you can make a go of it, but 1 person or family can't do everything.

I haven't drawn anything since late May, for reasons ranging from depression to death in the family. I banged out this lemon shark (from a student's MerMay prompt list) in around 5 minutes and it made me feel better.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this:

Peer reviewed tags.

Reblog today and you, too, can maliciously comply with facts of science.

[judayre]

That actually fails in multiple ways.

Mathematically, curved lines can’t be sides.

two of the right angles are exterior, which doesn’t count.

I’m sure there are more, but those are the most obvious to me on a quick glance.

[were--ralph]

you ever get tired of living but in a non-suicidal way

[were--ralph]

like everything is bad everywhere and no one has money and im tired of this cycle

[anderswasrightt]

i tried to explain how i was feeling like this to my drug counselor and she was like "yeah that still sounds kinda suicidal" and i could not figure out how to explain that i don't wanna die, i just like. am so so so tired of the way life is for me and all my friends and family. i'm tired of living like this but i'm gonna keep doing it bc i guess there's no other choice

[prof-grace-aspen]

I don't wanna die, I wanna go lay on a warm field under the sun and watch the clouds go by. How is this hard to understand?

[vaspider]

I just want to spend a few days in the dim twilight between sleep and waking, but specifically the dim twilight of a Saturday morning in April.

[crazy-pages]

Burnout. The word is burnout, but not because of an unusual state of overwork or an overly demanding position, but because the bare minimum being demanded is beyond capacity.

[jackalgirl]

How is it that Tumblr consistently puts the posts that talk about what I am feeling at the top of my feed every. single. time?

[thesaltofcarthage]

oh, tumblr, we're really in it now

[e-the-village-cryptid]

#I don't want to die I want to be alive #life is full of joys and I want to experience all of them #but everything is always getting in my fucking way!!!! I don't want to die I want that to change #I don't know how thats so hard for some people to understand

@approximately20eggs hope it's ok to post these tags because yeah. yes. yeah.

[judayre]

My explanation when this happens is that I want to be an amorphous blob in deep space. No responsibilities, nothing to do other than read fanfic and play mobile games.

OK the only people I have known who have a garage fridge are Korean and use it for kimchi because they make enough of it they need a Designated Kimchi Fridge, so I get that.

But can my fellow white Americans please explain what you put in the second fridge?

[nicoforlifetrue]

Half a cow

[swimmingblue]

So a lot of the people I know with a second fridge and/or freezer are rural people. And there's a few different things that go in there.

As mentioned above, meat. Probably a large quantity of meat bought from a farmer (half a cow, part of a pig, a mixed box with a set value) OR the results of hunting (venison, moose, etc.) They're frozen in workable pieces so that you can just go and grab enough for a meal or a few meals.

Next up - groceries. If the nearest grocery store is an hour+ away, and you only go into town once a week, you need more groceries. You can't stop for milk on the way home. So you need enough stuff to last between trips, especially if you're feeding a lot of people. See also the benefit of places like Costco - if you're buying groceries for two weeks at a time for 10 people, Costco sizes look convenient as hell.

Thirdly - homemade preserved foods. The Kimchi fridge is an example of this. See also homemade jams that need to be kept frozen, garden produce saved for winter, and other large-batch items.

[judayre]

In my Jewish family, the garage fridge was specifically for Passover - so things that weren’t kosher for Passover but also weren’t finished didn’t have to be thrown away. Also good for the amount of cooking that went on in the lead up to the holiday.

[transfaguette]

Combination of "lying to you" and "lying through his teeth"

"He's lying to your teeth!"

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

[coelii]

I’d just like to point out the growth in this post has mostly coincided with elon’s public spiral downward and I’d like to think we’re all a small part of that

[coelii]

bro can’t think because he’s just got a rager of a migraine 24/7

Get real, he never did think.
