i dont eat dirt

Something to keep in mind…. building muscle is so hard people compete to see who can do it best. If you’re a woman worried about “getting bulky”, i promise you that you cannot achieve that physique by accident. Now go lift weights to increase your bone density & protect yourself from osteoporosis and improve your insulin resistence and eat a fiber + protein dense meal with some carbs to refuel and fat for satiety + energy 🫵

trans women this goes double for you especially the part about eating 🫵 you are not immune to your bones becoming tapioca in your old age pick up the weights and the fork sister we’re all gonna build our new bodies if i have anything to say about it

Ungoliant.

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality

thinking about diatoms again

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit

I find the part about "no official national language or religion" pretty funny, given how US presidents swore their position by the bible, and actually it was a big deal that a couple of them have been *gasp* practicing catholics *the horror* instead of some flavor of protestant. I don't think there are a lot of countries that are not actual theocracies where religion and politics are son intertwined together as the US.

(oh, also, I don't know about other countries, but in Spain, the university access exam / scores only really affect your chances to enter public universities... you can always pay your way into a private university and have a US-like experience if you messed up your scores and don't want to retake the exam next year)

buddy…..yous don’t give yourself away in other countries because you’re smiley and nice. It’s because you all yell at full volume to each other in all public locations, in your extremely distinctive American accents. We can hear you before we see you.

Didn't like it

(my first page had a lot of spiders, so that's probably something some people may want to be aware could happen)

"less is more" is a lie perpetuated by big small to sell more less
