Free service with ads: Well, if I'm not paying for it they have to foot the bill somehow.

Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

"We used to be a paid service without ads, but now we're putting ads in it! If you want the ad-free version you have to pay more for preeeeemium": Fuck you fuck you fuck you

[juststarsandthemoon]

Free service with no ads: Okay so these guys are stealing my data

I hate to say "some of you don't go outside," but fucking Christ, dude

[hunbunqueen]

Ouuhh I see the water it’s right there on the post,, I’m so thirsty ouyghhhhhw just one sip for me ooouuuuuu

[baked-fish]

Girl, what are you talking about? Are you feeling alright?

[beneaththegildedmoon]

Btw the heat *is* why we see water that's not really there, but mirages aren't exactly hallucinations so much as optical illusions:

It's just the changing density of the air refracting light weirdly, so it looks like there's a reflection of the sky on the ground, which our brains often interpret as a pool of water. It can also happen upwards instead of downwards, especially at sea, when the air is much colder near the surface and a warm front appears above it:

Which, btw, is one possible explanation for ghost ship sightings, so that's fun :)

[rainbowgod666]

Yeap. That's how the Effetto Fata Morgana gappens

[ausefulblogforputtingthingsin]

If you drive on a straight road in the summer you can see mirages pretty easily.

Here's Fata Morgana

[gaydiation-poisoning]

It would kill half the 19-25 year olds online to realize "I can't help it I have trauma" is one of THE quintessential abuser excuses

[gaydiation-poisoning]

Like there is a difference between "My trauma creates impulsive urges and has changed my instinctive reactions to be irrational, I need to relearn shit." vs "I'm traumatized so I Can't Help It and you're not allowed to expect better of me"

[porterr-robinson]

[sandersstudies]

This is so

Unnecessary

[myrrhguy-deactivated20250626]

how do you explain to someone that this is your sense of humour

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

“What could the audio possibly be?”

*unmutes*

“Oh,”

[moonblossom]

If I ever don’t laugh at this, assume I died.

If you haven't used your library's audiobook service or if you're unsure if they have one, you should talk to your local library and find out! My local library uses an app called Cloud Library and it's totally free to use with my library card. There's a MASSIVE collection of audiobooks and ebooks and it's always updating, I use it all the time. It's really helped me get back into reading and helped me find my new favourite author (Catriona Ward) ! Now that I've been listening to so many books I've found it a LOT easier to get back into reading books as well (which was also encouraged by the fact Catriona Ward just released a new book so it wasn't available to listen to yet 😅). I really encourage you to give it a try if it's available to you, and utilizing the service will also help out your local library!
