things in fic I'm used to people kind of faking their way through writing about:
things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:
I placed the bread in my french toaster, and set it to baguette
Dumb/niche post:
I want a specific kind of Bible that I’d probably have to special order, because I highly doubt it exists right now.
First, I want it to be the NRSV
Second, I want it to be a “reader’s Bible” - which is to say, single column format, without chapter/verse numbers
Already, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t exist
but I’m not done!
I want the Hebrew Scriptures to be in the same order as the Tanakh, rather than the Christian canonical order
I want the Christian New Testament to have the Gospels first (as is normal), except with Acts following immediately after Luke
And I want all of the epistles in chronological order (or the best we can get based on the most recent data, I know there’s some disagreement on dates for some of them)
Just a saw video of a duckling pitter-pattering across a lily pad. Good stuff.
This was it.
mold pisses me off so much
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.
Life-changing.
This is so
how do you explain to someone that this is your sense of humour
“What could the audio possibly be?”
*unmutes*
“Oh,”
If I ever don’t laugh at this, assume I died.
At some point we’ve gotta acknowledge how one massive bogeyman in USAmerican culture is “unsavory” victims like drug addicts
“I don’t want my charitable contributions going to support drug addicts” you mean you don’t want to support someone who’s being preyed upon by malicious actors
It’s very easy to become addicted, it’s very difficult to escape addiction, and the best way to get out of addiction is with community support
But in spite of that, drug addicts are frequently demonized, perhaps even more so than drug dealers
This is.....niche. Do period-appropriate chickens even still exist? Idk anything about chickens. I like the fancy ones.
Period appropriate chickens ("heritage breeds") do still exist, and even include some very fancy ladies, such as:
ALTThe Brahma, a popular giant known for its massive meat production and comically large eggs.
ALTThe cochin, seen here with gold and black 'lace' pattern
ALTThe barred plymouth, an incredible forager for lightly wooded terrain
ALTThe fayoumi, often regarded as The Oldest Breed of chicken
ALTThe wyandotte, a particularly good forager as well as a bulky, meaty bird.
ALTThe Minorca, a Spanish bird with stunning black feathers
ALTAnd of course, the famous indonesian ayam cemani, which has black meat and bones
Old timey chickens often ARE the 'fancy' ones!
I love this incredibly niche complaint! Get some heritage breeds, they do totally still exist. Same could likely be said about some other animals like pigs, sheep, and cows.

the floating head of wisdom
Please don't fall victim to internet misinformation. There is no floating head. It's a regular horse, it's neck is just hidden due to the position of the camera. I made an image to help you understand the what's actually going on.
Thank you for the clarification
