A collection of disjointed interests. Some of them might be fire.

not many know that the d in various acronyms stands for dragon. for example mdd = major dragon dragon. attention! dragon! hyperactive dragon!! i wish there was more awareness as it's often overlooked

Being a bisexual emperor must be the most stressful shit in the world. You go to the inner palace and all your wives are scheming. You go to the outer court and all the male concubines that you promoted to viziers through nepotism are fighting. Your wife just poisoned your favorite twink eunuch. There’s no peace

I just found out that you can, just, like, purchase uranium ore for fun and it's like $20.

I could be the proud new owner of uranium ore for the cost of lunch.

[allie-leth]

My partner says I'm not allowed to buy uranium ore. This is transphobic.

Should I buy uranium ore??

Yes

Why the fuck are you trying to buy uranium ore???

my partner said the same when I discovered this (while trying to buy Thermite for a keyboard).

What is it with people being transphobic to their partners who just want some uranium?

[little-tornad0]

...why were you trying to buy it? You can make it with a coffee grinder.

I have a personal policy against homemade pyrotechnics.

[kordalien]

While I tend to be strongly "homemade pyrotechnics should only be done with great care by professionals" thermite while technically a pyrotechnic composition, is so safe/easy to work with it almost doesn't count (until you have an igniter!). Also, you can always buy the powders separately and mix, though I'm not sure where on the buying.making scale that would go...

Who is this diva?

[felinefractious]

Hey sorry in advance if it has been asked before but why do show cats have these funny names? Is there a show cat naming law, why havent i seen a cat named mr poop fartington yet

Show cat names have to be entirely unique so breeders have to get creative, usually they want to represent themselves within the name (I don’t think this is a requirement, though? Just standard practice?) which helps a little bit, so you can have Manxzana’s Kiwi and Tailless Beau-T’s Kiwi for example.

Sometimes you’ll have a cat with two cattery names because they’ll be produced by one then sold to another or they’ll be born to a queen of one cattery and the stud will have belonged to another, etc. So in this case you might have Tailless Beau-T’s Kiwi of Manxzana for example.

I don’t know the exact details on the restrictions surrounding registered name requirements beside having to be unique, it does seem to be fairly lenient in subject matter. There’s a champion Persian named Cocaine Cake, I can’t remember out of what cattery though.

There’s presumably a character limit, you probably wouldn’t get away with naming your cat the entire bee movie script for example…

[felinefractious]

This cats registered name is The Bitch is Back Free [pedigree].

[the-adventures-of-dave]

Bazinga Mantis Shrimp is my favourite show cat name

[felinefractious]

I forgot that I had this screenshot of Siamaqua Cocaine Cake.

everyone knows that space is very very cold, and the sun is very very hot. so i assume there's a bit of space kind of near the sun which is just right. balmy space

[porcupine-girl]

Yes, that’s. That’s where we are.

[kordalien]

We're on the ballmy area for radiating heat, not convection.

There's no convective path from the sun to us, so all heat that reaches us starts as em radiation, and eventually that photon hits a molecule and gives its energy to the molecule it hit making it warm.

Now, we're in an area where the tradition is balmy when filtered through our atmosphere (so most of the energy hits the atmosphere and spreads out through it). An interesting question might be "at what distance from the sun does the radiation hitting our body directly without atmosphere lead to feeling balmy". But this runs into a heat dissipation problem: being in a vacuum, there's no convective cooling and you can only get rid of heat by radiating it out as new electrons. So the answer to is there a balmy zone? Is it depends on your starting temperature and whether or not you can balance your heat flux (if you gain/lose radiant heat in roughly equal measure, you stay at a nice temp).

One of my favorite raptors to see, the American Kestrel. This little guy was finishing his lunch and allowed me to get a few close-ups before flying away.

Ghost Trick is so funny because it's one of those games where people keep telling you to play it and after a while you start getting curious so you go "whatever" and try it

Then you're playing it and the thing happens which leads to the thing and ultimately gets you to THE thing and then you finish it and are like "I have to tell people"

So you go on social media to post about how this was a downright mindblowing experience but are like "Oh no what do I say to not reveale too much?"

You then type "Play Ghost Trick" and hit post like some sort of drone and you are 100% right to do so

Anyway play Ghost Trick
