Savvy is a Grape

Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.

Had a dream a while ago about Warhammer 40K, where I learned that there was a meme in-universe among the Mechanicus where they would trick each other into opening a file that contained a picture of Vashtorr the Arkifane. Presumably, this would then require the victim to waste time scrubbing their minds of potential Chaos corruption. They referred to this meme as "getting Vashtorred."

I need to reblog this because Max Miller/Tasting History is so wonderful. The guy is charming and passionate and loves history and food so much it's infectious.
