someone accused me of feigning a sexual attraction to spiders for clout. there's easier ways to get clout, man.....

Someone once called my 22 minute hand sewn 18th century buttonhole tutorial video "Empty, clout driven content" so I think some people will just say anything.

Had a soul-searing moment where I sat unblinking trying to figure out what a "hand sewn 18th century butthole" could be for, until I read that again.

its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.

my cat is completely obsessed with watching the bathroom sink drain and I have started calling this "her shows." as in when I'm in the bathroom and she meows and runs up I'll be like "oh you want to watch your shows?" and run the faucet for an extra few seconds so it fills a little. she will then sit there at the edge of the sink for ages totally entraptured by the drain. blorbo from her sink

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.

now how about a functionally suicidal character saying "I will sell hot dogs for you"

Hotdog vender lays down their life to protect their suicidal partner, who then takes over the hotdog stand to carry on their memory...

It's like talking to a 2010 Old Spice commercial with you people

overwatch had the right idea when they made every sniper in the game weak to a gorilla that could leap to your position and beat you to death. i think this should be a more common game design choice for multiplayer games

the goblin emperor is such a book. Opens with a mock academic text giving you a bunch of terms to remember. you’re line okay this is a fantasy novel with Terms. not uncommon. fantasy and sci fi novels like to flesh out their alien worlds by inventing whole slangs and made up words that work diagetically within context. and this book It’s seemingly got a whole grammar system and detailed worldbuilding which is cool and you’re prepared for the Terms. and then BAM fucking cold open the emperors dead and the main characters speak in archaic English okay wait what the fuck is an elf or goblin in this context actually and then as soon as all that percolates it proceeds to bludgeon you upside the fucking head with an entire grammar system made up around adding an entire formal pronoun to the English language. Fuck you . and so not only are you like Hey what’s a goblin you’re also being absolutely dumped with an onslaught of Terms that mean nothing to you AND all the characters are speaking in THE ROYAL WE the entire time AND no breaks baby the political intrigue starts NOW!! and this is done with such razor sharp precision that every moment a character slips into informal I/thou it is HUGELY noticeable and significant. By the end of the book you are GASPING when the informal I/thou gets whipped out. the book is literally forcing your attention and entrenching you in its world by making its world deliberately opaque. To understand the word of tge you have to be studying it as you read, to be paying attention and absorbing context and enjoying doing so. it won’t spoon feed you and that’s the point. Your understanding of it is so hard fought that it makes you feel pretty proud of yourself once you get the hang of it. As a result you feel that much more attached to its world; its world feels that much more lived in. A delightfully effective tactic and toolset I’m obsessed with it

The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!
