I like how in pokemon normal type is either indicative of "this is just a pretty standard rat or whatever" or "we literally have no idea how to classify this little freak"

side benefit of communal all-gender restrooms is that they may be our best chance to shame cis men into washing their hands

[damejoansutherland]

i was in a communal all-gender restroom today and as i was washing my hands a middle-aged man came out of one of the stalls, started to make for the door, clocked me standing at the sinks, and changed course to wash his hands with a real hangdog look on his face

Too much information dude.

A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.

Do you like the wheel of the sky

Well I like that it doesn't take 5 minutes to scroll past.

Have been trying out new methods of shading and it's actually pretty fun, but it also makes me feel like this

For anyone like me who was wondering just wtf a Flock camera was

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flock_Safety

In the Controversies sections, there are such delightful(sarcasm) things listed including:

- use by ICE

- tracking a woman in an "investigation" of her aborting an unviable fetus, including getting data from cameras in states with full abortion rights, on behalf of her partner who reported her to police for it

- police officers stalking their exes using the cameras

- police officers holding people at gunpoint after they were falsely flagged by the system

- the company refusing to remove the cameras after their contract was cancelled, removing bin bags that the local authorities had taped over the cameras for citizens privacy while they were attempting to get the company to remove the cameras, and in at least one case, turning them back on against the local authorities wishes

- footage from 60 of the things just chilling on unprotected internet storage anyone could access

john oliver's most recent monologue was about these fucking things, if you'd like to learn more

Here's my real tip for anyone moving out on their own for the first time; when you buy a set of measuring cups or spoons buy ones that have the measurement engraved into the cup/spoon and do NOT buy ones where it's just printed on. Because that ink/paint/ect. can rub off and then you'll have a bunch of useless little spoons and cups you have to get rid of bcs they no longer say what size they are. Don't ask me how I know, just trust me that you wanna buy engraved ones.

my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing

[weaselle]

when i was super depressed - like struggling to eat anything barely able to get out of bed to pee depressed - my good friend asked me every day to send her a picture of me holding a leaf and a picture of a meal i was eating and it helped me significantly

(also, she was never judgey - if my meal was a single potato chip she would simply say good job eating a potato chip today <3 )

which is to say, i agree proof of touch grass is a good idea for online spaces

[yadelah]

This kinda required my brain a bit

[herssian]

how do you explain to people that spending all your pre-adolescence and adolescent years in such deep depression you didn't expect to make it past 19 and somehow making it to 30 changes your worldview. like i don't need any aspirations, i'm just vibing with my iced coffee that brings me actual joy and contentment. might chuckle at a funny post later. life's simple. it's good

I just saw an acquaintance use "👖🛝" in place of the word genocide and. like. at what point are we going to decide that this kind of self-censorship is too degrading to abide anymore.

"grape" "sewer-slide" "the panini" I feel like I'm surrounded by Rugrats who overheard the grown ups talking about the news.

I'm tired of seeing people excuse algospeak because "corporations are making us do it." Why are we all letting them do that. The Internet is real life. Get mad about it.

I suspect this was meant as a visual pun because this server is rated for 733 watts, almost exactly one metric horsepower

Is it the freedom

[rexuality]

hikes are very good yes but a deluxe hike is when you are accompanied by a freak with niche nature knowledge. they’re like omg stop there’s a horned valerian varmint beetle here and then you both get to crouch down and look at a bug like :)

[markscherz]

Bonus: you don’t have to cover a lot of ground. I can turn a three kilometre walk into a three hour adventure. Five if there is a small rocky stream or a few ponds.
