If only there were somewhere in between…

I used to row (in the UK) and agree. Swans are fucking terrifying and give zero fucks. I accidentally hit one with my oar once. I’ve been marked ever since. 👀

I’m not a volcanologist or anything, but surely you were taught there are different types of eruptions at school? The Pompeii one was some kind of super heated gas and ash cloud (again, not a volcanologist) that people had no chance of outrunning. The Icelandic one that shut airports blasted ash crazy high into the atmosphere, caused tonnes of disruption but not too much destruction. This one is a slow boiler - they had lots of advance warning, no toxic gas, no giant ash cloud - just a slow moving lava flow that is still causing destruction but hopefully no death.

I’m in that age range and my insomnia has recently returned. Like when I was younger, I can’t go to sleep until dawn - almost like the daylight makes it safe to sleep or something? Weird as hell. It’s currently gone 2am and I’m not remotely sleepy. I’d been nocturnal for sure if it was remotely feasible/socially acceptable.

Kinda defeats the object of closing your bedroom door to prevent fire/smoke spreading but I can definitely see how useful it’d be if you had dogs and cats. Or flatmates. Or family members you don’t particularly want to be naked in front of after your cat walks in and inevitably leaves the door wide open. Can you easily remove it from the outside of the room, or do you need to be inside the room to attach and remove it?

I’m a girl and taller than the tank. Wanna swap?

My partner is 6’2 and said it’s the first time he’s felt short in a crowd.

I’m in the extremely vulnerable group so in 2020 I didn’t leave the house for 7 months… until my appendix burst and I spent 10 days in hospital. 7 long long months only to end up in the worst possible place for me! Amazingly I didn’t catch covid then, or since.

I think performative christians would just latch onto these two and ignore the others: “blessed are those whose who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” and “blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake…” it’s probably not meant to mean zealots with a persecution complex, but that’s the way they’d spin it.

I wasn’t one of the 1% on Reddit, not even remotely close, but I suspect I might be close on lemmy (excluding repost/mirror/auto bots). I really wanted lemmy to succeed and knew that some people, almost any people, had to step up and help get the ball rolling initially. So I started 5 Reddit subs I missed, posted content every day for a few weeks and they’ve been reasonably successful. !badrealestate has 5k subscribers and that feels like a decent contribution.

His coffin was gold wasn’t it? And incased in concrete too. I would have thought that would delay decomposition somewhat, but I’m not an expert.

I’m high as fuck AND on three instances rn. I win, right?

Literally not knowing what this game is called definitely meant I required a TL;DR or straight answer! Thank you for that, now I understand the rage bait.

It just says “no result found”.

I have no idea what this game is. Is the card (if it were real) valuable?

No, I forgot the first @. Just a slip up.

I’m messing up left, right and centre today! Thank you for that 😊

Ah! I’m pretty old, definitely not up to date on the latest slang.

They’re swearing to god that what they are saying is true. It’s phrased a bit awkwardly, I think they’ve mixed up “I swear to god” and “hand on heart” or maybe “on my mother’s life”, something like that.

“This is truly, on god, the first “would you rather” that I’ve ever had to devote significant thought to.”

They just don’t like punctuation.

Edit, sorry @ prenupbutter@lemm.ee I meant to reply to you.
