Noodle! Nagashi somen—a classic summer activity. The cold somen noodles get let loose in flowing water (usually through a bamboo flume), and you get to snatch them up for dipping in a cold sauce, with extra condiments like wasabi, perilla leaf, green onion, and ginger.

Besides being tasty, it makes the hot weather feel more bearable, and I also like the competitive skill aspect I wish there were more foods I could fish/hunt for, without having to get into all the hassle of actual fishing or hunting.

when u plug a phone into a computer the comupter always charges the phone even if she has less charge than the phone bc the computer thinks that due to her size she always needs to provide for those smaller than her even when it hurts her more than it helps others. btw

Jurassic Park reboot but it follows the story of one of those B- or C-tier dinosaur theme parks that opened up in the wake of the JP franchise. Like the dinosaur equivalent of Six Flags, Knott's Berry Farm, or Worlds of Fun.

Just, what are the logistics involved in opening up a dinosaur park in the Midwest when you don't have the world's leading genetics firm back you up?

The manga Dinosaur Sanctuary is a speculative edutainment manga about dinosaurs being discovered in the modern day - and with a mix of gene editing and breeding, other extinct species of dino being brought back!

...The snag is that we follow Enoshima Dinoland in Japan, a small dinosaur zoo, a decade after the hype has worn off and Dinosaurs are just another type of animal.

Their T. Rex is in its twilight years. Their triceratops is missing a horn. How do you make visitors care about animals even when they're not at peak fitness? It's as much a story about the logistics of zoo management (on a budget!) as it is about paleontology facts.

I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

[vacuously-true]

NO do NOT let them win. We can save her. We can wrest her association back from AI. She doesn't deserve this and we can't abandon her.

Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."

This is what Roerich's paintings look like:

Completely lost all concepts of joke comprehension for a moment because my instinct was to register this as a new type of kitchencel

[gumy-shark]

i feel like we’re all a little bit too used to living in a world where elephants exist. what do you MEAN they do all that shit with their nose

[gumy-shark]

eating? just use your nose to grab the food. drinking? suck up water in your nose and spray it in your mouth. holding things? good thing you have a nose. overheating? dont worry just splash some water or mud on yourself using-guess what its the fucking nose again. no one else does this

[kirikomamura]

whenever the conversation about difficulty and accessibility in games come up i want to slam my head into a wall because noone thats speaking has anything more than a surface level understanding of what "difficulty" even is

[kirikomamura]

your game should have accessibility options, but if your only accessibility options are "turn off central game mechanics" then you have made shit accessibility options.

[kirikomamura]

you know what accessibility option doesnt completely fucking butcher your game while allowing almost everyone to play it? an option that is not available in 99.99% of all games ever made? easy:

[kirikomamura]

bonus points: if you put a game speed slider in your game you can also allow Absolute Fucking Freaks to turn it higher than 100%

NO you absolutely WANT your PLASTIC SURGERY procedures to be done by a PLASTIC SURGEON.

As in someone who is specifically trained in it and does it every day.

Someone who is not specifically trained in pleasing cosmetic results and not actively practicing pleasing cosmetic results is how you get horrifying cosmetic results

I cannot tell you how many episodes of Botched I've seen where someone with a mangled nose job says some shit like "My dentist did 2 for 1 rhinoplasty...."

[bitsybaby]

Feels like an important clarification from prev

[kyraneko]

I have had a rant brewing for awhile now and this seems like as good a place as any for it:

The "plastic" in "plastic surgeon" did not get here to mean "cheap and fake."

Plastic, the word, predates plastic, the material. The material was named for its noteworthy quality.

"Plastic" means "shapeable." Workable, moldable, malleable, et cetera.

When the first reconstructive surgeries were being pioneered in the 19th century, working absolute miracles like restoring whole faces to girls and women who'd caught fire tending to their kitchen stoves, among a multitude of other devastating conditions, it was this miraculous reshaping that gave the surgery its name: plastic surgery, the shaping surgery.

Time passes, and plastic, the material, is developed, and goes from fantastic modern wonder material to byword for cheap imitation; plastic, the surgery, expands from reconstruction to aesthetic finicking, Barbie is introduced with her unrealistically-proportioned plastic body, and the phrase "plastic surgery" goes from indicating "the reshaping surgery (what a marvelous thing)" to "the fake face/fake tits/fake nose surgery (how vulgar and deceitful)."

Same phrase. Entirely different connotation.

Just sayin'.

You want the reshaping. Go for the plastic.
