That’s a moray

@Quantensalat@scicomm.xyz @darkuncle@infosec.exchange @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz Sure. They think eggs lay eggs.

@minego Ok this requires the @scream bot.

@Gaolaitch@cupoftea.social Sometimes it demands my attention, in a vivid sunset or a mossy forest. If I seek it too hard it slinks away, hides under the bed, won't be pulled out. If it gets out I fear it will never return, but if I don't think about it at all, it comes to me, curls up in my lap and stays a while. It needs to be fed, of course, and sometimes shoved screaming into a box to be taken to the vet. Afterwards it's sullen, but easily distracted with a length of yarn, and then it makes mischief.

@Remittancegirl@mstdn.social I think a lot of the tradwife thing is poverty cosplay, the modern version of wearing a hair shirt I suppose. Glorification of suffering. I don't get it.

@kimlockhartga@beige.party I am so sorry all that happened to you and I 100% believe it. I'm not American but I once rode a train from San Diego to LA with a group of pre-med students in the seats in front of mine. They were loud, they were belligerent, they were rude, and the whole ride was a stream of complaints and ghoulish derision about the clearly less than human patients they had observed. I can't understand how any of them had not been expelled in 1st year.

@roknrol @maxleibman @blogdiva @alice @MelissaBearTrix @TheBreadmonkey @benroyce @sundogplanets @scream @skeletor @selfcare @georgetakei @futurebird It comes around to all of us. My turn soon I imagine.

@stevegis_ssg@mas.to @iris@neuromatch.social You're not wrong for asking for help, you're not wrong for not wanting to do the extra homework they're giving you, you're not wrong for finding the tone irritating. It's all infuriating.

@YMItalking@social.vivaldi.net I'm guessing they said 'and what's your name?' And she said 'Maweee'.

@Robotistry@fediscience.org @Quantensalat@scicomm.xyz @darkuncle@infosec.exchange @gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz I think the idea is that using AI they can out-science the scientists and eliminate them from the equation thereby scraping more profit for themselves. These people really truly believe that eliminating humans from (checks notes) life, there will be more money and they can hold it all. Daft as a shrub full of badgers but since they currently hold the reins, also kinda dangerous.

@moxie@moshpit.social Uterus owner✅ On the fediverse✅ Started perimenopause in later 30's✅ Success with HRT.... Ah well. (I can haz HRT? Haha nope.)

@futurebird@sauropods.win Why not both?

@SeaFury@aus.social @skribe@aus.social salting the slices and then rinsing before cooking also helps.

@Dunstable@mstdn.games It looks like Toronto circa 1977

@stevegis_ssg@mas.to @iris@neuromatch.social This, and, having been in that kind of convo before, issues are often solved by reproducing them. It's the equivalent of 'have you checked whether it's plugged in?' 😡😤👿🤬😤😳😱😓 Oh sorry...yes it wasn't plugged in...

@solsetur@famichiki.jp @TomatoGrilledCheese@famichiki.jp Me driving home watching volcanic ash tumbling down the sides of our volcano because of low cloud cover, so that most of the volcano is obscured: That's a lot of ash, bet it's one of those km high eruptions except it couldn't go up... wonder if I should worry...meh, no speakers or sirens, should be fine.

@TheBreadmonkey The two true genders: people who want to join in this game and people who don't😁

@roknrol @maxleibman @blogdiva @alice @MelissaBearTrix @TheBreadmonkey @benroyce @sundogplanets @scream @skeletor @selfcare @georgetakei Oh bravo bravo! And this being Mastodon, The person who knows about ants is @futurebird and not @blogdiva And you know what that means, I think I don't need to say. But I do hope you'll continue to provide excellent works such as the parody song above. And if nothing else the error makes the song consistent with the original...🙃

@solsetur@famichiki.jp @TomatoGrilledCheese@famichiki.jp Sakurajima. Cloud picture today, clear day eruption a while back.

@solsetur@famichiki.jp @TomatoGrilledCheese@famichiki.jp I mean our definitions of 'interesting' are going to vary🤣 If you ever visit, gimme a shout!

@solsetur@famichiki.jp @TomatoGrilledCheese@famichiki.jp When I moved here they were predicting a major eruption within the next 30 years. I've been here for 27, so soon I guess?🤷 Last one was 1914 so in 2014 we all got a bit nervous. As my geologist friend pointed out, if it goes big you've got nothing to worry about. Because you won't be there...anymore.

@Ciaraioch@mastodon.ie I did try...

@pisscotheque@godforsaken.website I dunno, those sound more like K-pop lyrics than James Blunt😝

@scoutie@famichiki.jp I did that earlier and have deep regrets. Good luck to you.

@scoutie@famichiki.jp I keep thinking mine is good and it's like Charlie Brown with the football.

@eclectech@things.uk This drives me bonkers too. FWIW.

@CStamp@mastodon.social How are we defining 'part of your culture'? If you wash rice it's part of your culture, no?

@satuelisa@mastodon.social @Bronwyn@sfba.social Yeah, I really don't see as there's enough there to know how it will fall when finished. I'd finish it and then decide. I wouldn't expect the merino to shrink too too much, the nylon won't shrink at all, and the cashmere will shrink a lot. Someone above suggested a controlled shrink in a bucket. That sounds like the best bet. Not all shrunk things felt, I've shrunk sweaters on purpose without felting them.

@solsetur@famichiki.jp The American Dream: control supply and get rich by forcing everyone to buy from you.

@solsetur@famichiki.jp Ok but the thing that is making me very angry is the sentence 'can only be grown in a narrow band near the equator'. 😑 This is the widest part of the world. And the band is getting wider due to climate change. And why shouldn't it be grown there? Oh because we can't let people living in that band own the means of production, no, we have to have a group of California biotech bros control supply instead. So much more preferable..WHY?🤡

@LaVisch@mastodon.social Oh that's really pretty!

@SeaFury@aus.social Same. And the last especially if I'm doing magic loop.

@aizuchi I mean I am just not interested in most of them. And the ones I *am* interested in are either bad news bears or very definitely only attracted to manly men, so basically if I feel any attraction at all I nope right outta there.

@SeaFury@aus.social I learned English but it was really messing up my shoulder, so I've taught myself continental. Getting the hang of it, but still need to switch to English for fiddly bits.

@futurebird @edsullivan @minmi Ok so you *know* what we gotta sing now right? (To the tune of Pink Panther, all together now!) Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant dead ant dead a~nt...)

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party I'm not crying, you're crying😭

@futurebird@sauropods.win I dunno, I think I kinda have both. If you take people at their word and they're being dishonest, it becomes clear pretty soon (unless you work in politics or for a newspaper, apparently) and I have never not been caught out when I'm being a jerk...

@Taco_lad@aus.social @3TomatoesShort@disabled.social @Ashedryden@xoxo.zone Understandable. 🫂

@3TomatoesShort@disabled.social @Ashedryden@xoxo.zone #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was rheumatoid arthritis, #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was Hashimoto's Thyroidism, #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was basal cell carcinoma (prolly just a single small spot of anxiety-induced psoriasis...that doesn't itch...or hurt...because prolly the anxiety is preventing you from feeling it...oh but that other pain? That pain is all in your head, eat less western food)

@SeaFury@aus.social I started with bamboo which was excellent as a beginner, nothing slipping off. But as I got better and faster, I found the bamboo to be snaggy, great for chunky yarns on fat needles still but have upgraded to steel and it's so much nicer. The smoothness helps compensate for arthritis flares too.

@CStamp@mastodon.social I still don't understand. People move and adapt. There are lots of Asian heritage Americans who don't eat rice on the regular, there are loads of non-Asians who do because it's a staple in the place the emigrated to. And Asia is a bit big. Not even all of Asia has rice as a staple and lots of non-Asian places do. For the first 25 years of my life there was no rice washing. For the next 25 there was. Which counts?

@daihard@sharkey.world @CStamp@mastodon.social mongrel

@3TomatoesShort@disabled.social @Ashedryden@xoxo.zone Well I did in the end because a few people eventually had the sense to order tests. But. Oh, I just remembered the one where an ectopic pregnancy was homesickness and it took 2+ months to get a pregnancy test. Fun times. Amazing how brains bury that stuff.

@vagina_museum@masto.ai The link somehow takes me out of Mastodon and asks me to make an account, but in relation to the Iceland penis museum, they do indeed do scrotums. Bull scrotums as lamps even.

@tym@tilde.zone @MissConstrue@mefi.social erm...who do you *think* runs local everything, if not menopausal women?

@nova@lunar.place This is easily the cutest cat on Mastodon.

@Bronwyn@sfba.social @satuelisa@mastodon.social Nobody has suggested restarting it. So I guess you kinda want to?

@kolya@social.cologne 15 is when we make our mistakes, she's making hers, she'll grow out of it. If she's still doing it in 18 months though, might need an intervention.

@blog Ok buy tbf once you hit a certain age all the doctors look like teenagers anyway.

@kenSwinson@indieweb.social LOVE IT!!!!

@leaverou@front-end.social Yup. And we explain to ourselves that the females are usually drab brown because we are a ridiculous species of ape who have conditioned ourselves to view female as inferior, but to birds, that drab brown contains multitudes of colors that just confuse our eyes. If anything they are more brilliant.
