remembering how in wooden overcoats, there's a bus stop on the island even though the island is too small to have an actual bus, because the mayor decided that a proper town needs to have a bus stop for the local teens to loiter at.......mayor desmond desmond really said "more third spaces"......

a reCAPTCHA will not request a sequence of keys, and what to do if you got scammed

I dont know that I would have recognized that

"autistic people need instructions for every simple task" okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn't work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn't follow them? you didn't see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you're shocked it didn't turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I'm 19 and go rogue? you're surprised the road less travelled isn't fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this

Anybody who has spent any time working in retail, hospitality or IT can tell you that a not-inconsiderable number of NT people cannot follow a fucking instruction if you wrote it down on a piece of paper and stapled it to their forehead

To be fair, it is hard to read something stapled to your forehead

you say you support women's wrongs but you haven't even listened to two thousand and late yet, smh

i was going to ask "oh, isn't that the new podcast by lauren shippen?" and then i looked at the user. and it gave me greater insight

“The naming of the year is getting worse” factoid actually a statistical error. Average naming of the year is typically pretty dogshit. 2024, who was labeled fungalore, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Resisting the urge to Um Actually this dragon novel because it has the dragon eggs be like three or four feet wide but there is simply a limit to how large hard-shelled terrestrial eggs can be. No matter how large the animal is, the embryo needs oxygen, and oxygen needs surface area. The larger an object is, the lower its surface area relative to volume, and the less oxygen the embryo can receive. We think of large animals as having porportionately large young because mammalian pregnancy has the unique benefit of allowing for the size of the young to scale with the adult because their oxygen is provided directly through the placenta, and almost all the megafauna remaining on Earth are mammals. But this is not the case for species which lay eggs! For fuck's sake even the sauropods hatched out of eggs barely larger than basketballs! Your hatchling dragon would be impressively enormous if it were the size of a house cat. Stop trying to make me believe that this (ROUND!) dragon egg somehow supplied enough oxygen to develop an infant the size of a large dog or even bigger. If it were possible the dinosaurs woulda been doing it!!!!

I love you /lh. Experts going off on their particular fascinating cool topics and adding unexpected context to things we take for granted is like my favorite thing this was delightful. Talk to me more about eggs and geometry and biology all you want :D

theres a subreddit for absurd substitutions on recipe sites that my idle brain has been reading and i think what im getting out of it is that a lot of people dont intuitively believe that food chemistry actually exists and just think that the ingredients are there for flavor. eggs dont do anything to cookies except add egg to them, the thing that makes a cookie a cookie is the declaration that you are baking cookies. if they come out wrong then you did the declaration incorrectly, and on a recipe site, that declaration is being done by the writer of the recipe.
