This idiot is very cute.

That said, I'm going to be a killjoy and say for people who interact or want to interact with ferrets, please know:

  1. They will eat anything they're not supposed to, and many of them love styrofoam. It's very bad for them and can cause intestinal blockages. Biodegradable packing peanuts are a safe way to watch them go nuts in foam.
  2. It's not safe to hold them up by their scruff like that. You can use it to immobilize them for things like nail clipping or meds and it's really effective. But you should never use the scruff to support their body weight like that. Their moms do that when they're kits, but it's not safe for a full-sized one.

Some other ferret facts:

  • If a female ferret goes into heat, unlike a lot of animals she will not come out of it until she gets pregnant. If she doesn't, the stress of being in heat will eventually kill her. She'll die from being too horny.
  • a group of ferrets is called a business
  • Rudy Giuliani had an infamous meltdown about ferrets back when he was mayor of New York.
  • Ferrets are sometimes employed as electrician's assistants to run wire through inaccessible spaces.

I like ferrets.

You beat me to it, just from a TV show.

But I bet Nancy in HR thinks it's satanic and is reacting as such.

30 miles in distance, which doesn't seem like much. But very different culturally. Where I grew up often didn't feel like home even when I lived there. It definitely doesn't now.

Man, I meet so many people who have left Ohio. People love leaving Ohio. In fact, an abnormally high proportion of astronauts are from Ohio. People wanna leave Ohio so bad, they leave earth.

Not giving someone $5 ultimately won't do anything to change that. The government needs to implement radical harm reduction policies.

If history has anything to say about them, it will be like Germany where in a decade or so suddenly "no one" voted for Trump. No one admits it

The one that put video game music as an art form on the map.

Did someone say it was a conspiracy?

Are you an American? Start planning how to get out of there.

This isn't a realistic option for most people. On an individual basis, it's expensive and difficult if not nearly impossible for many people. On a macro level, there is simply nowhere so many of us can go.

 

Whatever "too long" means to you. What eventually helped to lessen the pain?

 

Things like frozen lasagna and stew are classics for new parents, but not exactly the greatest light fare. What are your faves that:

  • can be easily eaten when you drop them off, or popped in the fridge for later
  • don't require turning on the oven
  • are refreshing in the heat
  • are nutritious, not too junky
 

I found this so easy and it's a great result! Perfect for summery pieces :)

I have English set as the primary language in my phone settings, but Spanish set as an additional one so I can swipe type in it – estoy probiendo practicar más lol. When I visited Lemmy the interface kept defaulting to Spanish for whatever reason.

Anyway after making my account I was able to change the language in my Lemmy account settings from "browser default" to English without having to delete the secondary language on my phone. Not sure why this is the only site that thinks Spanish is my default!

(Chrome, Android 13, Google Pixel 7 if anyone is curious.)
