I’ve never tamed a cat before in Minecraft and apparently they sleep in your bed with you if you let them follow you around which is so adorable
This cat also gave me a random rabbits foot in the morning and I don’t know where it got that because I’m in a jungle biome and I leave my doors closed at night but maybe there’s no rabbits in this jungle specifically because of this cat idk
nooo 1940s scifi author don't create a beautiful atmosphere of unknowable existential eeriness & isolation & then ruin it by revealing at the last moment it was actually very knowable & in fact overly-described evil monsters or space aliens........ your short story was so promising aha.....
hey don’t cry. spiro the bald eagle failing at catching a crab, okay?
There’s definitions of things but there’s often parts of a thing that exist on the edge of that definition but everyone knows is still that thing. Definitions are useful but at the end of the day you know a thing when you see it. You know that a horse is not a chair and that a 90s inflatable chair is a chair and that a table is not a chair even if someone is sitting on it. You know a chair when you see it. A beanbag both is and is not a type of chair and this is a comfortable truth.
But anyways that’s also kind of how gender works.
Also sometimes something might look like a kind of chair but it’s actually a rare kind of stand for wine kegs and is almost completely unrelated to chairs as a concept.
This is also kind of how gender works.
I want to learn more exclamations that aren’t strictly just religious stuff. “Jesus Christ” this, “oh my god” that, nah I want something fresh.
What are some of y’all’s favorite exclamations that aren’t about god?
first submission and we're already off to a fantastic start. absolutely love this one thank you
ok its time for the challenge round now we want nominations that arent about sex either actually
had a friend who used to make new ones up on the spot. The only one that stuck with me was 'good golly jelly beans'. If something catastrophic happens I go for 'that's not ideal.'

Absolutely not letting you leave these in the tags.
GAY BRITISH JOHNNY CASH: [realizing this bit is too many degrees of separation from the original and opting for a bait and switch punchline] I shot a man in reno just to watch him die
STRAIGHT AMERICAN JOHNNY CASH: [realizing this bit is too few degrees of separation from the original and opting for a bait and switch punchline] I sucked off a man in tesco just to watch him die
TRENT REZNOR: you can have it all, my empire of dirt
the word 'swim' is doing a lot of heavy work here
Not half as much as the audio is
I have only read a few discworld books so far but I really love how much during reading or after I recognize where Pratchett got certain names and ideas. Moist Von Lipwig surely is named after Victor Lustig, a famous con man, but I didn't notice that until my flatmate pointed it out. It really feels like his writing is full of so many little references and jokes you'd want a fully annotated version like you see with historical texts.
it does always piss me off when a historical drama only costumes the characters meant to be unattractive or unsympathetic in historically accurate clothing, while the attractive/sympathetic ones are given essentially contemporary costumes with a slight historical flavor. the past is a foreign country and mainstream film treats it just like one
My stupid poser kidnapper wants to show me my missing person's poster but I don't think they do those any more and I kept saying this but they wouldn't listen until they wordlessly handed me a printout of a bbc article talking about it. They want to compose a ransom note with newspaper type but don't know how to buy newspapers as someone under 60 without looking suspicious. The other day I saw in the fridge a carton of oat milk with a home-printed photo of me obviously taken by them awkwardly glued to the side. I don't even get a basement. This is a one-bedroom flat.
reading about ancient egyptian artifacts that have meaningless hieroglyphics on them and (aside from it being really cool as an example of the interaction between written language as a cultural feature with the fact that many people could not read and write) i'm very charmed that there were people bullshitting scripts they didn't know for the aesthetic back then too
Microwaves should have a button for popcorn kernels. I'm almost never microwaving popcorn
there's this one guy on twitter who's somehow been misfiled and belongs on tumblr
TIL!
I assumed he was being pedantic and talking about Norse writing from after Christianity became a thing (the oldest example of runic writing we have is from the first century), while the original poster meant "Before the Christianization of the Nordic countries" (circa 9th to 12 centuries).
But no, the earliest Norse sagas were generally recorded in the 12th century. Of course, most are recordings of earlier oral histories, but still.
Beowulf was set in Nordic lands, but not by a Nordic author. (And was still only recorded in the tenth century.)
i've talked about my thoughts (not positive) on people who are obsessed with watching cop bodycam footage as entertainment. well recently I came across an account of I guess cop bodycam footage related to CPS cases. I remember what it's like to have to explain yourself to cops as a kid. especially when a parent has come up with some elaborate lie. one year on my birthday my biological father told the cops my mom and stepdad were holding me hostage. the fact that a whole squad of cops showed up prepared for a showdown really made me think they are fucking morons. is bare minimum research done? research that tells you this is a man who is pissed off he has to abide by no trespassing orders and restraining orders (and has history of trying to violate them)? anyway the cops questioned my mom and stepdad and we were made aware of new lore he invented about me--I have the "mental age" of a 12 year old. mind you, he completely made this up. I guess his goal was to get me taken into his custody, like he's saving his disabled daughter who has been manipulated by evil mom and stepdad (he argued I can't think for myself). one female detective separated me from my parents to assess my mental state alone. she was the only one to realize he was bullshitting all of this. it's probably the only positive interaction with law enforcement I had in my life. it did make me realize that cops aren't stupid, their negligence is on purpose. a lot of cops just have a camaraderie like epstein & co.
a lot of people who watch cop bodycam footage seem to have a positive view of cops which is odd to me. you could say it's because they're not uploading footage that makes them look bad, but of the footage i've seen, they do still come across as clueless and negligent, especially when interacting with children in distress. i've come across footage online that mirrors my experiences and it always makes me feel sick. a lot of the domestic dispute footage. what is the point in uploading it? if it's entertainment, well, I do judge people who consume it as such. it's like true crime content--these are real peoples lives and experiences that they likely don't want to be reminded of on a random day while on social media. i've considered just not using certain social media platforms to avoid this stuff in particular because it always finds me somehow.
Speaking of medieval history, it's fun how the popular accounts are all "the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors", and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like "I hope the King literally explodes".
Popular histories: Medieval peasants understood themselves as inhabiting a cosmic order in which the King was their divinely appointed superior.
Actual medieval peasant: God, please set the King and everyone who looks like him on fire, Amen.
It's always fun when an author claims their work contains no politics, because either they're blatantly lying, or they genuinely think they're telling the truth and you get a lot of insight into what assertions about human nature they regard as so obviously and self-evidently true as to lie outside the political sphere.
