ppl using chatgpt as their therapist or friend is a direct consequence of living in a society where ur basically guaranteed to get imprisoned if u talk abt being suicidal
i think its funny how if you imagine something scary enough your brain starts treating it like its real and out to get you. its really cool and not annoying at all
someone: i made up a guy called the Scary Getter! He’s real spooky when he tries to getter you!
me: wow thats scary…..the Scary Getter…..what if hes real….what if he getters me???
gonna start reblogging this every time i start worrying about about the Scary Getter
My “100% Australian wool” is “made in China”. They shipped this stuff halfway around the world, spun it, dyed it, then shipped it back. Every time I see shit like this I’m reminded of how absurd it is that worldwide wage inequality makes this the most cost effective solution.
My country produces so much wool. It’s one of our main industries. There is no practical reason why it’s better to build the factories for cleaning and spinning and dying that wool in other countries, except to take advantage of worse environmental regulations and worse wages and worker’s rights. In practical material terms it makes far, far more sense to build those facilities as close to the sheep farms as is practical, taking into account factory emissions, population (factories need workers) and storage options. This shit was dragged over the ocean twice for the sole specific reason of making it somewhat cheaper for me and letting four or five different types of middlemen pocket the money that was effectively stolen from the Chinese factory workers.
oh you have to eat your produce the moment it leaves the store or the fuckin Hungering Dust will get it. and. poison your food
I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.
Like. I’ve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.
But now I’m just like.
Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I don’t.
Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?
Pizza’s been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyone’s enjoying the pizza, but if we don’t want “everyone” to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.
That’s just. That’s how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you don’t make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what can’t be preserved before the dust can.
