Squids

I feel the worst examples is when you try to engage with the Linux people trying to explain why you can't use it and they're just in complete denial

I like Linux, but I can't use it because I very frequently use CAD programmes like fusion 360 which run exclusively on windows. Mention that and you'll spammed with "what about FreeCAD?" From people who either have never used freeCAD and are just grabbing the first Google result for "fusion 360 FOSS alternatives" or are in complete denial over how goddamn shit freeCAD is like I'm sorry that is not a functional alternative.

If you don't like it as a ceral, you could try making biscuits out of it? Rolled oats biscuits are pretty good. I know I'm risking my Australian citizenship here but you could try doing an Anzac biscuit like thing to it. Super simple biscuit that lasts forever that just needs rolled oats, golden syrup, bicarb, coconut, and some flour.

Alternatively you could make a muesli bar and eat that. I know they're not that healthy but when you're making it yourself you can like control that sort of thing

(I personally eat muesli with yoghurt so there's a bit of body to the entire thing, but that's already been suggested)

In Norwegian marshmallow is just marshmallow, but if something has marshmallow bits or marshmallow like properties (like say the white stuff in a bag of Haribos) it's called "skum", which means foam

Oh yeah they do that - I once brought up the cultural aspect of genocide in a discussion about Russification and was instantly told that I only cared about that definition of genocide so that I could accuse China of genociding Uygurs and any attempt to point out that no that has been the definition of genocide for a long time (see - the UN's various declarations) was met with them demanding me I show them the proof that China was really doing that.

...in an argument about the Baltics in the cold war.

Only if we get to have the full ~~train~~ plane battler experience

You'll also find them around and about in any sort of historical sub

Most of the tankies I've encountered have been in the comments of historymemes communities on posts about the fall of the Berlin Wall. Go in expecting Regan jokes, come out after having a 30 comment argument with someone trying to claim that the Holodomor didn't happen (like, at all, not that it wasn't intentional), that Stalin never condoned the Purges, and the Stasi weren't that bad

The thing that confuses me about those nail polishes is like, anyone who uses nail polish to the point where they'd consider that would also be using a clear top coat, which seals the nail and would prevent the conductive nail polish from doing it's "thing"

...also it wouldn't work on most devices because most screens are capacitive, not resistive. Like you can use the backside of your nail on your screen with normal nail polish on and it'll work, because it's about the surface area and capacitive difference, not about closing a circuit

I've had a 3d printer for years and I still can't really get over how nuts it is. Like it feels like one of those things you'd read about in science magazines as this amazing super scientific thing the scientists out in MIT have in their labs like a supercomputer or some expensive toy people who build stuff on YouTube have in their garage next to the lathe and big fancy CNC table, but no, it's just, here. On my desk. Being used to casually print stuff that I've designed myself on the computer like it's nothing.

My great grandad was a carpenter and I wish I could've shown him it. I wonder what he'd think, seeing something that was once only in the realm of handcrafted diagrammes and days of building now a few hours of modelling and printing away.

Human sized roach. I mean Gregor just kinda died of his own accord didn't he? You just gotta emotionally reject it as having ever been your son and maybe throw an apple or two at it.

I feel like if we're talking realistically here, people are forgetting you have to also source the Pokemon in question. Most people aren't globe trotting ace trainers, they're limited to what's around them and what they can realistically raise. As much as I'd love a goodra or a sigilyph or a volcorona, I don't live anywhere where they'd realistically show up and they take a lot of attention to level up. Also like, most people tend to have only two or three Pokemon, because looking an entire team of 6 is a full time job.

I think I'd have a galvantula (or maybe more realistically a joltik) and a garganacl line Pokemon. Ones a common household pest that hangs around electronics and the other's a giant guy made of salt who helps people and heals them. An electric type would probably actually help with my job and I've lived near salt mines before and an obedient Pokemon that can heal you and is big enough to assist with tasks sounds like a good choice for an assistance Pokemon. If I got to choose a third, it would probably be some sort of region bird because I like birds man. Maybe like a regional form of pidove. Spiders can catch their own food (and if not, bugs aren't that hard to get ahold of), I already have plenty of bird feed, and like, does garganacl even eat? I guess it'd probably need salt? I mean I've got lots of that.

I'd love some sort of sea dwelling Pokemon, but unfortunately I don't think they're very easy to look after if you spend a lot of time on land. Omanyte would be great, but I don't think fossil Pokemon are very easily accessible to the public

Been doing that too (though not at the same pace). Like project Gutenberg has a ton of good stuff if you just let go of your preconceived notions about "the classics". Like you could right now drop everything and go read Ulysses. I wouldn't reccomend it (go read Dubliners instead), but like you could. It's like a call of the void.

It's expensive, but it's also expensive in lots of different avenues. It's not like you can just go "well I'll never buy a big pre-built proprietary printer then I'll just make it myself! Open source forever!" Because that's the road to leads to sourcing and building your own voron from scratch and spending a thousand dollars on parts
