Then we better shoot another CEO when they start that bullshit again

@Ziggurat
Oh let me tell you about the D&D campaign I’m in. The first six months were nuts: We got hired to pick one of the emperor’s 60-something kids to be appointed as the heir. By the time we left, there were four kids left alive.

Last session was a bit nuts. We got an angel fired from his job because he was bullying a snail, then had to resolve a custody battle between a coven of witches. We are level 4.

1. I already know pokemon. I’m making an active effort to not be into pokemon anymore.

2. As a kid i wasnt allowed to watch tv or play videogames, so I’ve been trying to catch up on the childhoods everyone else had.

3. Trying to get out of MTG, not interested in the Pokemon TCG or the One Piece TCG because their mechanics aren’t interesting to me, and there is no amount of money you could pay me to deal with the average Yu-Gi-Oh player. The Digimon TCG seems cool, though.

It’s September.

Don’t forget the citric acid! If you don’t include the citric acid, the water doesn’t go into the cheese right.

@The_Picard_Maneuver
Does that really count as cheese, though?

There was a Sewer Man!

Okay, that chart is, like, 5 difference systems of measurement pretending to be one unit of measurement. The imperial system is bad, but it’s not quite as bad as that chart.

That said, I like how most imperial units are at a scale that feel nice. Like, most things you measure in feet are no more than 10 feet long, most things you measure in yards are less than a dozen yards long. Also, it’s nice that at 0° F you know road salt isn’t gonna work.

You actually reminded of this wonderful #dream I had last night about explaining to my fiancée how earthworms are an invasive species

@Godric
So unfair that they keep typecasting black actors into playing black characters.

@LemmyKnowsBest not sure what you are picking up on, but I think our #mastodon server runs well partly because our admin works for Google and can bring his expertise over here. I have mixed feelings about that. He is very obviously a fan of the big tech companies and seemed a bit miffed that we all got so upset about #Threads trying to #federate

@Viking_Hippie they also have never felt full once in their life. It’s not something their brain is wired to experience. They remind me of this constantly, as seen in my banner pic https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/112/026/721/807/170/516/original/8136498ea948dba2.jpg

@Viking_Hippie Cavies are like Rabbits, but are generally hungrier. They like all the vegetables.

However, their normal diet is pellets and hay. They get very excited when they get to have veggies

@pteryx @196 no that’s just poor classroom management

@pteryx @196 fun fact about child development: Kids don’t develop proper Theory of Mind until they are about 7 years old. Before the age of 7 every child is a little sociopath that is barely capable of comprehending that other people also have feelings.

Its not impossible for them to develop empathy, though it’s hard. You can get those Empathy neurons firing by forcing the kid to think about other people’s feelings at least once a day. So, any kid with good Empathy just has good parents.

@sbv they tend to see clips on either YouTube shorts, TikTok, or incorporated into other things. They don’t need to watch the actual show to think Homander is cool

@onlinepersona @thegiddystitcher that’s actually what I am doing. I found I can just follow all these peertube users from Mastodon, so that’s what I do

@alvvayson Existing research was about “how do we stop the bugs from circling our lights?”. This is about *why* the bugs circle the lights. It artificially triggers the dorsal reflex, which disorients the bugs.

@RobotToaster it is a vibe
