now that we have successfully nitpicked the difference between poisonous and venomous it is time we nitpicked the difference between parasite and parasitoid

yes

that being said landlords are parasitoids

Animal Crossing lets my live out my wildest fantasies, like putting hammerhead sharks in my pockets, and actually owning a home, and being liked by my neighbours.

hello friendly reminder that you do not need a special occasion to use nice things! if you wait long enough your nice bath bomb won't be as fizzy! your favourite fruits will go out of season! candles are meant to be burned, not looked at! you're not enjoying your special tea if it's just sitting in your cupboard! you're allowed to have nice and special things on completely ordinary days! heck, it might just make that day special!!

Too many rich people buying medieval castles and then renovating the interior to look like a completely normal 21st century house. Sorry but if you're going to live in a castle you need to commit to the bit. If I lived in a castle I would restore it just enough to be barely liveable and pretend I was a poor but prideful nobleman in his crumbling estate, still clinging to the last vestiges of his family's fading name.

I'd commission portraits of generations of completely made-up noble ancestors and then intentionally water-damage some of them to reinforce my "mouldering splendour" motif.

I would invite a woman who looked like one of my portraits over and tell her that it was a portrait of my saintly mother who was taken by consumption 20 years ago.

This seems counterproductive to your goals, how are you going to get ice cream if there is no earth? Are you an idiot stupid of sorts?
