"we detected a mature post" yeah I'm in my 30s

[appropriate-as-always]

I initially read this as “a nature post” which also applies to people in their 30s

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

Looking to rehome peafowl

Not mine! A friend of mine, the guy who took Bumblebee/Felix home last year, is needing a place to rehome his peafowl due to a major life circumstance change incoming. He has one mature pair of blues (Ferdinand and Isabelle), and then Felix and likely one of his two yearling girlfriends (Liberty or Bell). He's located in Wisconsin, but we would both be willing to work on transport to pretty much anywhere in the USA to get them placed.

Ferdinand and Isabella

Felix and his ladies

This isn't necessarily an urgent, immediate need, so if you were to, say, need time to build an enclosure, we can work it out. The birds themselves are free to a good home, with the only stipulations being Ferdinand and Isabella must go and stay together. I will be making sure they end up placed somewhere that's set up for them already, preferably where the pairs can stay together.

If you can take them, please send me a message or an e-mail (longfeatherlane at gmail). If you can't, please pass this on so it might find someone that can.

Can we guess what these are?

How about now?

If you guessed "peachick gastroliths" you'd probably be right.

I'm not sure what's up with the identical indents in all of them, which makes me wonder if they are something from the roaches that got passed rather than gizzard-tumbled rocks, but you'd think I'd see a lot more of them if so. And these exactly resemble some of the little river pebbles in a pile by where they forage, albeit a lot smoother/rounder in shape. And they are ROCK hard, I mean, I tried to crush one and got nowhere, so I don't believe they are seeds.

Cool to find! Princess pooped them out right in front of me, so I grabbed a tissue and collected them to wash in a small bowl (I actually wanted to make sure it was what I thought it was, and not something concerning) to get photos to share. I think we should all be a little proud of and perhaps a little disgusted by my tenacity to bring you cool things to look at.

I couldn't reblog without the tags because the context is hilarious

A Nervous Old Man (right) and his Emotional Support Violence Machine (Left)

Yes, he is more than twice her size. Yes, he is five times her age. Yes, he cries like a big baby until she kills Unacceptable Scary Things (earwigs) for him.

I couldn't get these two and their dynamic out of my head, @gallusrostromegalus I doodled them (guessed on their collars)
