Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

[systlin]

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.

This is one of the greatest posts I’ve ever witnessed. The payoff was amazing.

[randomslasher]

My roommate heard it going and went “OH MY GOD is it EVER going to resolve?” then the payoff hit and she busted up laughing

Sci-fi short stories are so efficient; they take 15 minutes to read and then you think about them for the next 5 years

Hey guys, what if *puts the most horrifying mindblowing concept into your head with about 15 pages*

I maintain a doc for all my favorite short stories (and will be combing this thread for more to add, trust) but some that are pertinent here:

for sheer economy you can do no better than "Born of Man and Woman" by Richard Matheson, which is literally less than two goddamn pages

"It's a Good Life" by Jerome Bixby (famously adapted into the Twilight Zone episode of the same name)

"The Screwfly Solution" by Alice Sheldon (better known under the penname James Tiptree Jr)

"-- All You Zombies--" by Robert Heinlein (just go into this one blind, I promise you)

"Go Starless in the Night" by my personal GOAT, Roger Zelazny

And of course you can take your pick of anything written by Ray Bradbury

Is it socially acceptable to use opaque watercolors, or is that considered gouache?

[facts-i-just-made-up]

It could be a sign of a bad temperament.

my proof

[nighthawkes]

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.
