I think my go-to response to anything I don’t know how to answer or wasn’t paying attention to could be “you could be fire”

I wonder what reactions I would get

I’ll find my soulmate when someone answers

“I am a stick”

Now you see, I’ve watched enough cartoons to know that this square of the carpet is on a separate animation cell from the background & therefore something funky will happen if I step on it. You won’t catch me making a rookie mistake like that no sir!

[lisaonatree]

Did you step on it?

[penny-anna]

I forgot it was there & stepped on it, plummeting through the concealed trapdoor into the cellars. Please send help.

[lisaonatree]

Help it’s on its way!

By the way, are the bricks all the same colour?

[penny-anna]

I can’t see anything! It’s pitch black down here. All that’s visible is my eyes.

[damndinarzade]

Just make sure there isn’t a second, more dangerous pair of eyes somewhere around yours

Hey

[systlin]

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.

another history making marvel post I never see anyone talk about is “so is nobody helping blade kill all those vampires”

how my coworker gave me a cigarette yesterday

[philcollinsenjoyer]

explained to an 8 year old that once a fruit is ripe you only have so much time until it rots so you have to eat it soon and she said so i'll never be able to keep it perfect like this forever? no and there are about a million pieces of art for you unrelatedly

[shovelwareyaoi]

the way the internet has eroded the barrier between creator and fanbase sucks beyond words and while most discussion of this puts the focus on the parasociality aspect i do think its equally if not more important to point out that most if not all creators would benefit greatly from logging the fuck off

[shovelwareyaoi]

if people read your work in a way you don't want them to or god forbid critique aspects of it that is not something you can stop nor should you try to sometimes people will discuss your work in a way that isn't 100% validating at all times and if you do not want that to happen you don't have to put it out into the world at all

[shovelwareyaoi]

and ☝️ another thing. i do think that being terminally online not only makes creators less able to accept critique but also primes them not to think enough about what they need to include to get their point across. you cannot write with the assumption that you can just explain things later online in posts you have to write as though your work is going to stand completely on its own. if something is important enough to be necessary information for your audience to get your point you have to think long and hard about how you're going to go about conveying that to them. and it can't be in posts.

[fluentisonus]

imo if you want to have your noble character be cool with their servants or a 'good boss' my advice would just be that you can't. it's just inherently an uncomfortable situation & class dynamic & you have to reckon with that

[kickdrumheart]

Being a servant is not inherently exploitative. It's cohabitative. Some people need that help and if they pay fairly, then no one is being exploited. It's just ya'll think housework is derogatory.

[fluentisonus]

a disabled person [e.g.] who needs assistance with daily tasks ≠ a member of the [implied historical] aristocracy who has servants . there is inherently a class imbalance there & generally a large imbalance of power & resources, as well as a long historical record of abuse and exploitation behind it, which is uncomfortable to reckon with when it pertains to characters & relationships you are trying to like. acknowledging that is not looking down on housework, come on now

[swallowtail-ageha]

I like how when people claim to be reincarnations of someone they always turn out to be reincarnations of royalty and when its royalty they are always cleopatra and never random stillborn hapsburg baby no 4729

[loveridden1999]

you can have multiple most gorgeous looking women giving performance of their lifetime in a movie or show yet people will still come out obsessing & wanting to fuck a white man with the personality of a wet cardboard

[loveridden1999]

oh because we were all wondering

[butchfagminotaur]

it’s nice seeing other people starting to open their eyes to what i’ve been saying for a while in that the current use and proliferation of the term “gooning” is an outright tool of fascism

[butchfagminotaur]

the second “gooning” stopped referring to a specific sexual practice and started to be used as a replacement for “masturbation” we needed to kill it immediately and sadly we didn’t

[butchfagminotaur]

if you call someone a “masturbator” in a derisive way you sound like a fucking mormon but suddenly you switch to calling them a “gooner” and you’ve created a way to express the same puritanical beliefs around masturbation that is not only palatable to the average person but the attached underlying implications of the term make people way more susceptible to adopting those beliefs themselves

leftists need to fucking stop using the term “gooner” right fucking now

[butchfagminotaur]

demonizing human sexuality and treating masturbation and sexual activity as deviant and disgusting are straight up fascist tools and it’s startling how successful this aspect of it has been the last few years
