Welcome to my personal blog, where I post whatever and then some!
I am Cyana and use she/her pronouns. Weird aroace lesbian thing, probably. Resident cat-robot-doll-slime-fox-dragon-mermaid-spider-elf-fairy-vampire-monster-thing-girl, all at once until observed. I'm a compsci grad tinkering with tech and code, and I also make art sometimes. Expect 20 posts in a row about a new rabbit hole I just found.
^ me reminding myself not to buy any more figures before they arrive, yet I did it again :}

weirdly enough i think it's easier to accept non sexual nudity if you're a bit of a a pervert. like people think "boobs are too sexy, people can't be normal about them", and it seems like a compelling argument, boobs are sexy. but when you realise that other things are sexy as well, things like stomachs, thighs, feet, back muscles, and you can normal about them in a non sexual context, so there's no reason anyone can't be normal about any other part of the body.
incredibly bizarre and confusing seeing ppl call themselves "chuds" all the sudden b/c like
thats what we call neo nazis and shitty conservative bros? or at least its what we used to call them? why are ppl calling themselves "chuds" affectionately now
what is happening
yall know chud means fascist right like please tell me yall know that
im hoping this is a case of "younger folks on the internet adopting Silly Word b/c its Silly and not realizing it actually means something"
so here's me educating! you're calling yourselves fascists! thats what you're doing! maybe don't do that and use your head before you start using every goofy word you see!
think of a girl. now think of another girl. now think of another girl. now another. thats not enough. more. more. more girls. no thats not enough. more girls
think of a miku. now think of another miku. now think of another miku. now another. thats not enough. more. more. more mikus. no thats not enough. more mikus
“spicy pillow” jokes aside, I think @flowerkrone’s tags deserve a serious reply:
#my old phone looks like this on my shelf lmao #im too scared to touch it to throw it away #idk what trash this even goes into when its at this point
The pillow-shaped object here used to be the phone’s battery. It’s not a battery anymore. Now it’s a balloon full of corrosive, pyrophoric chemicals and hydrogen gas and it’s one puncture away from burning your house down. I am 100% serious. You should be scared to touch it.
But you gotta touch it, because you gotta get it out of your house before the pressure builds up to the point where the balloon pops. This isn’t going to happen soon – there is no need to panic – but it will happen eventually.
And, indeed, it doesn’t go in the ordinary trash. You put this in the ordinary trash and you’re gonna set the garbage truck on fire. Don’t do that to the garbage collectors, their job is hard enough already.
The first thing you need to do is get a fireproof container. The most common household item that qualifies as a fireproof container is a cast-iron cookpot with a cast-iron lid – often sold as a “Dutch oven.” Any other cooking container that’s unreactive, has a very high melting point, and has a lid made of the same materials will also work: enameled or stainless steel, Pyrex with glass lid, etc.
However: Do not use a pot with a PTFE-based non-stick coating. If the battery does explode, the fire will probably be hot enough to degrade a PTFE coating, producing toxic smoke. (Not that you should breathe the smoke from the battery fire either, but PTFE breakdown products are worse.) Do not use a pot made of aluminium or copper. The fire might even get hot enough to melt those.
Whatever container you use, you might have to throw away along with the phone, so don’t use your good Dutch oven for this. Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap one.
Once you have the fireproof container:
Gently pick up the phone and put it in the fireproof container. If possible, gently tape the phone to the bottom of the container to prevent it from bouncing around. Don’t put any padding in there, that’ll just make a fire worse if it does happen. Put the lid on and tape it shut.
Put a label on the container, something like “DEFECTIVE LI-ION BATTERY – FIRE HAZARD”.
It is now reasonably safe to move the container around. However, if the battery does explode, the container is very likely to leak smoke and get hot, so keep it in a well-ventilated area and away from things that will be damaged by heat. Don’t leave it exposed to the weather, either.
You need to find either a hazardous waste disposal site, or an e-waste recycler that will accept defective Li-ion batteries. I can’t help with that because I have no idea where you live.
However, your local fire department, if you have one, will probably be happy to help. Call their non-emergency number. Nothing is on fire yet, so this isn’t an emergency, but things that can easily start a fire are still within the fire department’s responsibilities. Tell them you have a phone with a bulging lithium-ion battery, you put it in a fireproof container, and you want to know how to dispose of it safely.
If the fire department tries to tell you this isn’t dangerous or it’s okay to throw it out in the regular trash (with or without fireproof container), hang up on them and write a cranky letter to your local government representatives, then keep looking for a proper disposal site.
When you do find a a hazardous waste disposal site or an e-waste recycler, call them and make sure they will take defective Li-ion batteries, before showing up. That’s also a good time to ask if they will let you have the fireproof container back.
credentials: not an engineer or science person but I have replaced quite a few “non user serviceable” lithium batteries in my time, from phones to iPods to smart watches to headphones
if it’s your old phone it’s probably not five alarm fire dangerous if you’re just picking it up to dispose of it. after a few months the battery is probably dead or close to dead. you should act, but it’s unlikely to suddenly burst into flames without your intervention.
DO NOT charge it up. consider the device a lost cause, unless you are prepared to remove the battery yourself or have a professional do it (or your local techy tgirl). adding energy to the battery is going to make your day worse if the battery does decide to go postal.
iFixit recommends discharging phone batteries below 25% (and larger batteries completely discharged) before servicing, as this limits the available energy in the battery which can become a fire in the event of a burst/puncture. they test this methodology in this (awesome) video:
if you’re still using the device and charging it regularly and the battery is swelling up (or you suspect it might be), this is a much more dangerous situation. if it’s a phone, it’s in your pocket during the day, or by your bed while you sleep, and much more likely to hurt you. stop using it, get it repaired, have someone who knows what they’re doing remove and dispose of that battery.
don’t keep using a device with a spicy pillow, and don’t fuck around with old batteries you reckon you could nurse back to life. trust me, it’s not worth it. here in the UK, supermarkets often have battery disposal bins and your council may have advice on used battery collections.
here’s some written advice, also from iFixit, about handling this situation. Before you read, I’d like to highlight:
Whether swollen or not, lithium-ion batteries may catch fire or explode if handled improperly. Proceed with caution and at your own risk when removing a battery from an electronic device. If you have doubts about your ability to do so safely, power down and isolate the device, and consult a professional repair technician.
more on that last part below the cut.
Removal and disposal of a swollen battery can be dangerous, but leaving a swollen battery inside a device can also cause serious harm. Read
hmm. put too much work into this body already to just abandon it. worked for this figure, got attached, sue me... could really do with some legs that don't hurt, though. maybe some new eyes... and a stronger spine. these fat tits are gonna kill me.
