Part-Time Cryptid

Incomprehensible, have a wonderful day

[vwildmage]

I'm trying to write a fic and I'm hung up on a detail

If you were bitten by a person, which would you go for to disinfect the wound? Not with much research, not with intense recalling of medical knowledge. Imagine someone just bit the fuck out of you, you're understandably stressed and freaked out, and you ran to the medicine cabinet to clean it.

What would you automatically grab to clean a human bite?

hydrogen peroxide

rubbing alcohol

soap and water

just water

other (tags)

Voting ended onJul 24, 2024

for the "other" option, I know this is the shitpost website, so I don't mind if you put a joke in the tags, but I still would like your serious answer 👀

USians, find your reps and call them. This is yet another book ban bill targeting transgender people and anything that mentions race, civil rights, or historical figures of color.

HR 8705 text if you want to dig into it.

Sample script for blue reps:

My name is [_____] and I live in [zip code/district/neighborhood]. I'm calling about HR 8705, the latest attempt by the GOP to erase entire communities from the story of the United States. If passed, it will have a suppressive and damaging effect on our schools and libraries. Teaching a full and honest picture of U.S. history is not indoctrination. Editing and sanitizing that history in favor of patriotic propaganda and white nationalist talking points, however, is. Please do everything in your power to block this horrible bill.

Sample script for red or purple reps:

My name is [_____] and I live in [zip code/district/neighborhood]. I'm calling about HR 8705, the so-called Civics and History Advancement to Restore Learning, Integrity, and Education Act. That's a lot of words being thrown around to say the federal government should get to decide what our local schools teach and how they teach it. If it passes, it will be such a huge waste of time and money. I am opposed to this kind of big government overreach, and I hope Representative [____] opposes it too.

Yeah. Contact them about this one. It made it out of committee and currently has about a 1:3 chance of passing.

An extra useful phrase since this is in the House, and this is an election year for every single one of them:

"Right now, I don't know who I will be voting for in November"

Tell them that, then tell them that you're going to be watching this bill, and what they do about it WILL impact your vote. It does not matter if you are actually undecided. It doesn't matter if you would rather eat glass than re-elect that guy. Whenever you place these calls, you are an undecided independent swing voter.

Or, if you can play the part in person, "I voted against you in the last election, but I've been paying attention since then, and I was leaning towards voting for you this time, but not if you support this."

As for the actual bill, this one isn't written in crayon by an idiot. It would be much harder to weaponize in malicious compliance, and harder to sue into oblivion.

Go place a call. Or send physical letters. And if there's a townhall, brace up for a terrible time, and attend.

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[unstablebill]

I've been scream laughing at this for several days

[chipjrwibignaturals]

feel free to cite the deep magic to me witch i was there when it was written but my memory is like REEEEALLY shitty

[chipjrwibignaturals]

[banchie]

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

[samglyph]

Funny when someone introduces you to something, you get really into it, and then they lose all interest in it. Oh so you’re just going to abandon me at the party you invited me to. Dude you were my ride.

the funniest moment of that Madagascar movie was when the penguins make it to Antarctica and theyre standing there in the blizzard in silence until ones just like ‘WELL THIS SUCKS.”

[captainkirkk]

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

why is it called a "stick" of butter. that is blatantly a The Ingot

[elexecution]

there are too many things happening this summer that i'm thinking we are going to need an extra 6-12 months of june and possibly another 3-4 months of july. probably no extra august as the problem should hopefully sort itself out by then. we are also looking into extending the day night cycle to 55 hours and extending the human lifespan to 10000 years.

[phantoms-lair]

OKay, I very much misinterpreted this at first, prolly because I'm working on my big bang fic, as the 2k you write yourself is better than 100k from ai.

Then I realized it was saying 'working for a pittance is better than having a community that takes care of it's people'. and got sad.
