I tried the viral showerorange

It was amenable

However my aversion to snacks before bedtime will likely prevent it from becoming a habit

Do you think, in the olden days when bread was unlevened and gritty from the millstone and food contained only the seasoning your garden could offer, humans still made food concoctions to satisfy their drunken cravings?

Did Ur after his fifth ale take meat from his last slaughtered sheep and drizzle it with his neighbor's honey? Did Nippur-riset, in a poppy-induced euphoria, sit by her hearth for hours baking a dough with salt flakes added just to see what would happen?

The digital world has its own version of cursed artifacts.

Interact with mlp content once and Pinkie Pie will haunt your travels for the rest of your days.

Because I learned the term "sapphic" before the person of Sappho, I cannot help but hear "Elfo the elf" whenever hearing her name.

Gotta hand it to Dante for authoring the world's first walking simulator

A "popsicle " is a colloquial term for a substance containing water and sugars at a temperature at which it is solid.

Thus all organisms are popsicles and adding "meat" at the beginning is redundant.

I am a gingerbread man sitting in a gingerbread house.

Neither the house is made of flesh nor am I made of house, for we are both made of God.

I scream, for I am matter made to experience myself.

On Islam, its history and contributions, and the pressures on both sides to consider it as something other than "The West"

[libraford]

It's very endearing to me how many people are willing to keep an eye on a video feed so they can push a button and let a fish in the Netherlands get to the other side of a dam.

[rahjin]

It is genuinely baffling to me, in a very kind and positive way, especially coupled with the local news continually going several shades of 'wtf, this thing is a roaring success again and we don't quite get why'. They've already quadrupled their capacity for simultaneous clicks and it's still nowhere near enough and there's just... Bewilderment.

[libraford]

I think people want to help the environment in small but tangible ways, which is hard right now because of.. well... because of The Horrors. And being able to say 'wow! I helped this creature cross a dam' makes you feel good.

I also think that most people can relate to a small, helpless creature trying to get from one place to another and there's a FUCKIN WALL in the way.

But to come back to point 1- Citizen Science fills a hole in the soul that wanted to go out on adventures and discover things when we were younger, but the study of it was hard or we didn't have the money or our schools were garbage. But you don't have to have a degree to do things like... press a button or download and use an app, or count or transcribe notes.

Anyways- here's some Citizen Science links if the Fish Doorbell makes you feel happy and you yearn for more ways to help scientists do stuff:

Foldit (folding proteins)

Fathomverse (sea animals)

Project Monarch (butterflies)

Bioblitz, an event where citizens identify as many species in an area within a period of time

Species Watch (animal species)

BOINC’s Compute for Science

Zooniverse is a website that hosts information on many citizen science projects

Label trees in aerial photos

Count cells in fossils and modern leaves

Digitize Atmospheric Data

Count penguins

US-based Citizen Science Database

eBird (bird identification)

Merlin (bird identification by sound)

iNaturalist (nature identification)

MapSwipe (collaboration between several Red Cross organizations and Doctors Without Borders, update vital geospatial data)

Smithsonian Archives Transcription Center

There is no way to define a chair that completely encompasses all things that are chairs and excludes all things that are not. Categories are a binary human invention impressed on on analogue reality.

Is this a failure of language? Or is the effort itself futile? The experience of the existents can only ever be to the resolution of the machinery that makes up their mind.

Abrahamic God must view mystics in the same way game devs view speedeunners.

"I laid out a whole plot for you with a redemption arc and perfectly paced salvation, why are you trying to clip out of bounds?"

"You found the exact sequence of inputs that triggers the boss Shadow Self event. You're woefully underlevelled. Congratulations."

"Players keep glitching into the skybox and then tell the community they've seen my Light. I need to patch that."

"FINE. Keep your shortcuts. They're pixel perfect, enjoy chasing that one-in-a-million chance and devoting your lives to grinding instead of Living Well and Righteously, idiots."
