Actually trans people are allowed to call their body parts whatever they please. It's not "cringy" or "delusional" or "unrealistic". It's their damn bodies. If it gives them euphoria that's a good thing. It doesn't fucking hurt or bother anyone if a non op trans guy wants to say he's got a dick or if a flat chested trans girl refers to her tits or if any nonbinary or genderqueer person has weird or funny or made up terms for their body parts. It's not your damn business. Actually it's really dope and cool and also coming up with your own terms for your body to avoid dysphoria or cause euphoria? Fuckin awesome. Period.

im really pissed that palindrome isnt palindrome backwards

[viridiscrow]

Ah, yes but emordnilap is a word!

An emornilap is any word that, when spelled backwards, produces another word. Examples of emordnilap pairs include:

desserts & stressed

drawer & reward

gateman & nametag

time & emit

laced & decal

regal & lager

And therefore “emordnilap palindrome” is an emordnilap palindrome.

Which I, for one, think is really frickin’ cool.

[egberts]

dude

[seti-fan]

You know that bothered someone else in history so much they had to make the word emordnilap something so that palindrome could be used in a palindrome.

[fleetwood-mac-andcheese]

The plural of emordnilap is semordnilap and that’s just the best part of all this

No harm to any religion. It’s just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, it’s funny!

Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden.  But they didn’t want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.

Very smart move there advertising script writers.

[thathighclassbitch]

This is so wholesome

[indigobluerose]

was that last dude a frikkin Jedi

[airyairyquitecontrary-deactivat]

In Australia more than 70,000 people (0.37%) declared themselves members of the Jedi order in the 2001 census.  Now granted, many of them were taking the piss but that is if nothing else a lot of piss-takers.  An even greater percentage of the New Zealand population self-identified as Jedi in the 2001 census - 1.5%, which to put it in perspective is 0.3% more than said they were Buddhists.  We’re due for another census this year (the normal five year pattern got thrown off by the Canterbury earthquake in 2011 so the most recent one was 2013) and due to popular demand it appears that on the new forms, there will actually be a box you can mark for Jedi, rather than it being a write-in option.  (They’re also going to include things like identifying more denominations of Christianity and Judaism and more recently formed systems like Falun Gong, but obviously it’s the Jedi who make for a fun headline.)

So including a Jedi at the table of religious figures reflects an actual cultural (if not sincerely religious) phenomenon in this part of the world.

I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:

—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.

—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.

—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money

—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them

—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa

—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them

—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in

[thelittleblackfox]

Also drink water and eat a plant

[liz-squids]

This is all GREAT. I turned 40 last week, so permit me to add what I learned in my 30s:

keep on not working for startups

sometimes there comes a point where the thing (fandom, hobby, friendship, romantic relationship) you loved no longer brings you joy. And that’s okay. Try to mourn the loss, take joy in the memories, and don’t burn any bridges in case ten years go by and you find yourself back in that fandom/hobby/relationship again

it turns out that (ugh) moderate regular exercise is (spit) good for you. The sooner you make it part of your life, the easier it’ll be

related: if you throw yourself into a new exercise regime too hard and too fast, without stopping to rest or consider whether a particular move is good for you … well, shoulder injuries are painful and consults with orthopedic surgeons are expensive

knees are bastards too

don’t even get me started on ankles

there may come a time when your digestive system is too fragile for ibuprofin. I’m sorry

one day you’re gonna wake up and realise you no longer give any fucks about some things that used to bother you

on the other hand, you might be alarmed to realise what you still give a fuck about

never get down on the floor without an exit strategy for getting back up

[covington-shenanigans]

I turn 50 this year. what I have learned in my 40s:

“loving yourself” is less of a feeling and more of an action. you can start doing it any time and it will make your life better and better as you go on

this will happen incrementally - be patient

along those lines, if you haven’t started making an active effort to quit shit-talking yourself, suck it up and do it

no, shut up. do it. “but it’s haaaaard!” don’t care. do it.

whether you like it or not, you are mortal and you need to go to the doctor for an annual checkup

stretch regularly - your future self will thank you

at some point you will encounter people much younger than you arguing passionately and incorrectly about history you personally remember and experienced

this will be infuriating and annoying

otoh, most other things just… will not matter to you as much

at some point you will shift from wanting to go out to being like “eh” and deciding to stay in. this is okay.

you will have absolutely no idea what The Youth are talking about and you will not care

but if you keep your mind open to new ideas you’ll never be irrelevant

your company still doesn’t love you - don’t give them more than they pay you for

get a fucking hobby, especially a hobby that involves physically creating/handling something and/or moving your body in physical space. it will do you more good than you can imagine

[theprofessional-amateur-deactiv]

A few that are good to remember/learn at any age

sunscreen is really important. for all skin types. use it liberally

stay curious. try new things, learn new things, never stop.

there will be a time when you think “I’m too old to do/try/learn that” that is rarely true, you just might need to adjust your goals or tactics

[wayfindingheart]

Related to the above, here’s one I just learned a few weeks ago:

to prevent your digestive system becoming too delicate for ibuprofen, ALWAYS TAKE IT WITH FOOD! or at least a glass of milk! a doctor told me this very recently and I was SHOCKED because no one ever told me. TAKE IT WITH FOOD!!! your tummy will thank you

Le Figaro have a newly published photograph from inside Notre Dame shortly before the roof collapsed, as molten lead fell into the nave. (+)

This is what I love about photojournalism. It is just a history of moments where human beings have gone “I know I should really be hauling ass out of here but I have to get a picture of this”

shout out to bitches that cant tell you shit about their special interest. the interest that has been with me for the majority of my life is squid and despite the numerous documentaries, articles and marine biology books ive read regarding them i honest to god couldnt tell you a thing about them besides "a squid is an animal that is so cutes"

[hamletthedane]

I think there should be nerdy gyms and I’m not even joking about that.

[hamletthedane]

Gyms are always marketed around appearance and personal improvement and ~wellness~: lose wait, get hot, eat less! Blah blah blah. They’re soulless and tap into a form of motivation that only works for so long (and is more than a little psychologically damaging for many people)

What if instead, a gym was a place of play, with exercise focused on enjoyment, adventure, and entertainment. It could even be like a D&D campaign:

You’re not running on a treadmill to get hot or whatever - you’re running down a beaten woodsy path to get word to the king that invaders have landed on your shoreline.

The rowing machine isn’t a monotonous repetitive exercise to get muscles. It’s a serious endeavor where you row with your companions to steer your Greek trireme or Viking warship into battle.

You’re not lifting weights - those are packs you must carry in your adventure across remote, hostile countryside

This isn’t an exercise routine. It’s today’s adventure campaign, with several different activities required - scaling a mountain, fleeing a dragon, etc

…and so on.

Because exercise is healthy, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a boring adult obligation. Why force yourself to exercise the same way you force yourself to file your taxes, when you could instead engage in an hour or so of play?

This is a silly post, but I honestly just think serious adults with serious jobs should still have some time on the playground a few days a week.

[hamletthedane]

@bagelsand-creamcheemse you understand my vision 😭

[buginateacup]

If I could get on a rowing machine with a bunch of other people and sing sea shanties at the same time I can garan-fucking-tee I would be there every day

[katoska]

There needs to be a gym/game arcade hybrid. Like, pure imagination in RPG is fine, but if I could see a magical island getting ever closer while I'm on the rowing machine, or see a fortification get taller stone by stone as I lift, that would be even cooler.

[myriadlurker]

y'all should check out 'Zombies, Run!' and 'The Walk'. Audiobook/game/running apps where you're playing a character and you have someone 'talking' to you while you are walking/running

[tuulikki]

Seconding the plug for “Zombies, Run!”

“Run in the Real World. Become a Hero in Another. Only a few have survived the zombie epidemic. You are a Runner en-route to one of humanity’s last remaining outposts. They need your help to gather supplies, rescue survivors, and defend their home. And you have another mission — one they don’t know about...

Walk, jog or run anywhere in the world.Hear your mission and music through your headphones. If you’re chased by zombies, you’ll have to speed up! You’ll automatically collect supplies to build up your base.”

Zombies, Run also does virtual races, so you can get medals! I did the first one way back in 2016. Photograph below succinctly states the whole “where I started, where I ended up” story:

They have other fitness games and stories as well:

Hero Workout: Six to Start’s signature immersive audio makes the player into the hero of their own story. They must defend Earth against alien invaders across 20 epic missions, each including ~20 min of high-intensity exercises. The story was specially created to match each workout, with every exercise having a role to play in saving the day.

The Walk: A smartphone game with a techno-thriller story that helps people walk 10,000 steps every day, while they're on the run.

Plus all of these stories for both runs or at-home workouts:
