saw a poll about dry/humid heat and like OBVIOUSLY everyone preferred dry heat but. would love to know what everyone considers to be “too hot”

what’s the highest temperature that you would ideally like to experience

below 30°F/-1°C (wild. but i can understand you)

30-40°F/-1°- 4°C

40-50°F/4-10°C

50-60°F/10-15°C

60-70°F/15-21°C

70-80°F/21-26°C

80-90°F/26-32°C (okay chill out bud)

90-100°F/32-37°C (jesus)

above 100°F/above 37°C (you’re insane)

not to overstep (bc I’ve seen a lot of grumbling in the tag) but if you have no prior knowledge of fallout (like me) it is 100000% worth watching. it’s a hoot and a holler w offbeat humor mixed with very serious situations. it’s a delicate blend of practical effects (props, amazing costuming, make up, set design) and cgi (post apocalyptic america & monsters). the main characters from a woman who says things like golly gee & doesn’t swear but will chop a man’s head off to cowboy deadpool to a cultist in a robot suit are all intriguing layered and complex. it’s very aesthetic and pretty and the soundtrack is perfect. I watched a man fight a radioactive bear. it’s fun!!!!!!!!!

I'm convinced that every cat has a Weird Game that it likes; your duty as the cat's owner is to discover what its favourite Weird Game is.

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

One of the most common question types this blog gets is some flavor of asking if Weird Games are okay. The people writing in are always very concerned for their pet’s safety and welfare (which I applaud) and often looking for an explanation of the behavior (which I have zero ability to give). This speaks to how common it is for cats - and other pets - to enjoy Weird Games.

This video is a great example of the best way to tell if a Weird Game is a thing your animal actually likes: let them initiate! The cat is being carried in a weird way when the video starts, but then immediately runs back to the designated “game spot” and asks for it to happen again. If you’re not sure if an animal likes an interaction - be it petting or a Weird Game - just stop, and see if they actively re-engage. If yes, you’re good to go!

Obviously, physical safety is an aspect of Weird Games too. The cat in this video apparently likes being carried upside down, which could injure it if it happened too much. But what we see is that their person supports the cat very securely, moves slowly, doesn’t go very far, puts the cat down on a soft and easy to reach surface, and doesn’t let the Game go on for too long. The cat also isn’t being held tightly and could clearly get free / ask to be put down if it became uncomfortable or wanted to be done. That seems like a good way to make that Weird Game safe to me (vets, please feel free to correct me here). If you’re worried about if a Weird Game is safe, ask your vet! You’ll make their day and get some useful information.

One of my cats LOVED to be spinned around on the tiled floor like curling stone, on and on.

Both my current cats consider a sweaty, after-the-gym t-shirt the best thing to sniff, roll on and knead. NONE of my cats before them did that. Both also like to nip me, usually gently, every now and then quite hard. Yuzu loves to play with water, any running water, from the tap, garden hose, or the bathub. I have to barricade myself in when having a bath or a shower.

[curiositypolling]

Generally when playing a video game where you make your own character to go through the story (eg BG3, any MMO, stardew valley etc) do you consider them an OC/actual character?

yes, I make fully fleshed out characters and treat them as such

they’re like…pseudo characters. kinda their own thing but not really

I make characters I already have and then play as them

I play as myself making the decisions

no, the characters I make are just vehicles to play the game

I do make characters if I can change the course of the story, otherwise no

equal combo of multiple answers

I don’t play these sorts of games

libby app guide

aka how to support libraries and get books and audiobooks for free without pirating them.

disclaimer: this is so easy. it is also really fun.

one: download the libby app. you'll open it and it'll ask you to add a library.

two: get a library card. don't have one? good news, it's really easy and i am saying this as the laziest person on earth. it varies what you need to have to get a card library to library but almost all libraries will let you get one online. i have a card for my home town and for the town i moved to. sometimes you only need an email address, sometimes you need an area code. to get mine it took me about 5 minutes of lying on the couch aimlessly tapping on my phone. follow your heart. you can get cards for places you don't currently live. i will leave the ethics of that up to you but it's probably better than pirating and either way you're creating traffic for libraries which is what they need to exist.

three: add your card. you can add multiple cards for multiple libraries. you need the number. i have never had libby fail to recognize a valid account.

four: search for your book! some will be ready to borrow right away. others have an estimated delivery time. libby will always pick the one that's the fastest from the options available at all the libraries you have cards at. you can borrow audiobooks and ebooks. libby will send you a notification when you're book is ready to borrow. in my experience it's a lot faster than the estimate. if you aren't ready to read it, you can ask to be skipped over in line so you keep your place at the front but let someone else read it first.

five: read it!!! kindle is the most common way to do this. you can go to your loan and click read with kindle. it'll download it to all your devices where you have kindle. as long as you have the loan, it'll act like your book. when the loan ends, if the device is connected to the internet, it'll automatically be returned. it will save all your notes and highlights. (if you disconnect your device from the internet, it won't return the book. weewoo.)

anyway in case anyone else has been wondering about it, i really love it. is a nice surprise to see what i'm going to get and it's cut my reading costs down big time! it's also neat because i get to synch my books between devices unlike downloading books through cough cough other means. good luck!

[theroseunblown]

Reblogging again to say that you do not need Kindle, the app or the device, to read ebooks on Libby!! You can read any book you borrow WITHIN the Libby app, and you can change the font and dark/light mode for accessibility too.

[arahir]

please be aware the libby app does NOT let you read or listen offline so the app itself is unusable for me for actual reading unfortunately! you guys who have access to the internet steadily can use it but be aware. you can't use it on a plane, for example, but if you download to kindle you can.

[cntarella]

You should actually be able to use libby app offline (for those allergic to kindle like I am lmao). You just have to change your download permissions in settings. The web browser version of libby is online only though.

Go to Settings > Change Download Rules > toggle to “Everything” (and recommended to “Download only on Wi-fi” if you are worried about your data)

Then Settings > Read Books With… > Libby, so that it downloads to the correct app. You should be able to change your preferences on the main page by clicking the cloud icon to see where you’ve downloaded it too.

[shesegwin]

ALL OF THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

[fangirld]

If you have a (newer) Kobo ereader your Libby books can be downloaded directly thru wifi onto it too! (Overdrive is the older app for Libby)
