On December 27th 2024, I lost my mother to colon cancer

On September 3rd 2025, I was diagnosed with colon cancer, just like her

It's extremely funny that there have been multiple writers in multiple mediums who've been allowed to write Wolverine from the X-men who clearly had no idea what a wolverine is and assumed it was a fancy word for "wolf", and at no point did any of the literally dozens of other people involved in bringing their writing to life see fit to challenge this assumption.

Sometimes the rest of the team gets handed a once in a lifetime opportunity to do the funniest thing, and all they have to do is keep their mouths shut long enough for it to go to print.

One of the classic Magic: the Gathering arts is that of Hyalopterous Lemure, where the artist mistook 'lemure' (a type of malignant spirit) for 'lemur' (a small fuzzy primate), but manage to *nail* 'hyalopterous'

Look, I understand that you're going through some shit, and you know I'll always support you, but I just had to fight your shadow-self in the kitchen. Yeah, I was getting breakfast and the enfleshed eidolon of your existential alienation was shooting, I don't know, some sort of beam.

It banished the Froot Loops to a far and sunless realm. I really wanted those.

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

kagcomix

i work with youth and they loooooooove to go “ew that’s so cringe” the moment anything earnest even grazes their orbit.

my general line that i send back to them is “hm. not sure i really believe in ‘cringe.’ it kind of sounds like you’re choosing to be embarrassed right now.”

Is it the freedom

aralintheobsessive

It's the venting. In the USA, dryers have massive exhaust vents to the outside of the room/building that take the hot wet away and leave hot dry behind. In many other countries, dryers do not generally have external exhaust vents, and simply fill the room they are in with the hot wet, which may or may not be enough to actually remove the hot wet from the clothing depending on how well ventilated the room itself is.

whetstonefires

for this reason 1) you generally can't leave the dryer open in winter without causing a draft and 2) sometimes when you're walking around outside in the US the world will suddenly smell of clean laundry because you're near someone's house and their dryer is running

zaprowsdower27

And 3) Eventually your drier stops drying things so well and you have to hire somebody to bring a ladder up to the vent (either high up an exterior wall or on the literal roof) and clear out the accumulated lint and cruft blocking it

ayellowbirds

You ought to do this regularly even if the dryer efficiency remains the same, because dryer lint is fantastically competent at burning your damn house down if you let it catch fire.

derinthescarletpescatarian

I'm in Australia (no exhaust vents), and I've found that if your dryer starts making hot wet laundry, you first clean out the lint trap that you already know about and clean every time, and then you go looking for the second secret lint trap that nobody told you about and clean out the year's worth of lint in there that you were blissfully unaware of. The dryer will now mostly dry your laundry again, and give you either hot dry laundry or hot just-very-slightly-damp laundry.

bladesofaura13

This reminds me of the story about the couple who kept cleaning two different dryer vents and were confused why their so never cleaned the lint

derinthescarletpescatarian

That post was what first prompted me to go looking for a possible second lint trap

em-dash-enthusiast

I'm genuinely appalled that dryers outside the US are not vented to the outside world. That much moisture just...builds up in your house/apartment every time you use your dryer?? Does that not lend itself to mold growth over time?

derinthescarletpescatarian

Mine recondenses the water into a little tub that I empty into a sink after use. I could also get a plumber in to vent the water directly into the greywater but I prefer being able to have the dryer in a part of the room with no direct water system access.

em-dash-enthusiast

That makes much more sense tbh. I was envisioning a steam room and the associated drywall moisture damage every time you do laundry, like "at that point I would just opt for a clothesline" lol.

(Which we do still use in the US, despite the popular conception that we all have dryers. Not as common as it once was, but I've lived several places where we used a clothesline bc we had a washer but no dryer.)

derinthescarletpescatarian

In Australia most people use clotheslines all the time, and even those of us who have dryers tend to only use them when the weather is too wet to make line drying practical. Electricity is expensive and sunlight is free. Can't speak for people living in city apartments and suchlike though.

bucketofdeltav

I grew up in Aotearoa and formerly lived in the US and now live in the UK and yes every dryer I have ever seen is absolutely vented to the outdoors???

What are the Australians doing?

derinthescarletpescatarian

Line drying, mostly.

if-only-we-could-read-it

I’m in the uk and every dryer ive seen has either had a removable condenser or has been piped into the wall/grey water like derin said. Most people over here use a clothes line or horse.

chibisquirt

I'm sorry, a clothes line or a WHAT?

derinthescarletpescatarian

A clothes horse

They come in many shapes, most of them designed to fold away easily when you're not drying or airing anything.

digitalmagpie

In the USA, we call those (clothes/laundry) drying racks. There's a bit of variation depending on the brand advertising, but I've never seen them called a clothes horse.

I've only ever heard/seen "clotheshorse" used to refer to a particularly fashionable/fashion-oriented person, typically one with an extensive wardrobe.

derinthescarletpescatarian

They call people that because they are likening the people to the drying racks, acting like their purpose is to hang and display an absurd number of clothes on their bodies.

wingedcatgirl

Why is that first drying rack labeled "costs from 3p an hour to run"?

derinthescarletpescatarian

My guess is that it might be from an ad comparing a clotheshorse setup to a dryer or something, and the 3p refers to the running cost of a space heater. You need a room to be a reasonable temperature to air dry clothes, so if you live somewhere particularly cold then you need to heat the room.

youfecklessthug

I think it’s actually a heated airer. You plug it in and the rods heat up to dry the clothes faster. I had one in my old flat and it was life changing.

penny-anna

I'm in the UK and my dryer is a condenser (as described by derin). There's also a cheaper kind of dryer where you have to either plumb it in OR, supposedly, hang the hose out of a window.

I empty mine's tank and lint trap after every use. However, it does occasionally stop working and then I have to go around the back and clean it's grease trap. BUT I think that's a fairly niche issue.

ETA oh I am also aware of the second secret lint trap. Real bitch to clean out.

quacksmith

@derinthescarletpescatarian WHERE DO I FIND THE SECRET SECOND LINT TRAP I AM GOING NITS PULLING MY DRYER APART

derinthescarletpescatarian

I have one lint trap inside the door, just in front of the barrel, and another on the front of the machine behind an unlabelled panel.

‘It has to come out’

inspired by season 6. Trying new ways of drawing and also some symbolism ig but also I’m just doing things

steelplatedhearts

it’s simple: when I like an adaptation, everyone complaining about changes to the text is a whiny baby who needs to get over themselves and accept that sometimes you have to change the story to enrich the experience/work within the medium. when I don’t like an adaptation, it’s because nobody else understands the core themes of the original work and would be better off just creating a story independent of what they’re trying to adapt.

flightfoot

What do you think is the purpose of the three Miraculous potions that haven't been used yet and presumably never will be? I say three and not four because at least one of them is known to be the fire potion for high-temperature environments.

Well hopefully one of them would be for tunneling or something? And maybe another one for shrinking? Since these potions seem geared for giving Miraculous Holders more traversal options. Dunno what else.

I know that the old plans were listed on the wiki somewhere but I can't seem to find them

No idea if they're still canon anyway

I know one of them had the power to purify Akumas
