  • I had a mini schnauzer who liked to bark (aka, couldn't help himself... he tried his best though, he was a darn good boy). But the mailman was, by far, his favorite to bork at through the window

    My boy got out the front door one day (cold weather would cause the door to not latch properly) and ran across a busy street

    The mailman was driving by, pulled over, grabbed him out from the middle of the road, and knocked on my door to bring him back (he recognized my dog from the window). I woke up to the knocking, bleary-eyed and confused, trying to figure out why my dog was being delivered to me. It took a second to put the pieces together, but I've never been so thankful... it was a very busy road and could have been tragic

    My dog still barked through the window at this guy, as much as ever... but it was definitely now absolutely, his favorite "stranger" to bark at. That dog loved mail-time forever more lol

  • Dislocated my thumb; for the glory of the Empire!

    Also had to put our dog to sleep; for the glory of the Empire‽ His death was an honorable one and we will meet again for battle in Sto-vo-kor!

    Also, ate cake for my birthday... FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!!!

    It's been a long week y'all lol

  • It's coming

  • How long until mushrooms can play doom on people?

  • Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates

  • Huh, I didn't know the Sears Tower was renamed to Willis. Though the Sears Tower never comes up in conversations for me, I'll surely only ever know it as Sears. So yeah, that's a great point you make

  • Thank you

    What some weird stuff your body does?(can be NSFW)

    Jump

  • I can do it, but only with my left ankle! It's almost like I'm sliding the tendon across the bone? making a really loud "popping" sound, over and over. I've been able to do it for as long as I can remember and it's never hurt. Never met anyone else who could do it!

  • Weeks when decades happen

  • Didn't 2020 pop off with one of the worst Australian bushfires still ongoing, and then one of the worst wildfires in California/Oregon began? And then, you know... that little pandemic thing? How's the bird-flu thing been so far this year? Just wondering

  • The Hidden History of Pneumatic Tubes | The Saturday Evening Post

    Jump

  • A lot of hospitals have them too

  • What's the best general-interest Lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • I like 'Reddthat'; it's smaller size makes it feel cozy and responsive to their community. I have accounts on multiple instances, but reddthat is what I'm using 95% of the time

  • What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?

    Jump

  • Didn't realize Tim Burton was behind Big Fish. I enjoyed it, but it kinda grew on me more than anything

  • Like Neo in The Matrix and "I know kung fu", what one ability would you choose to upload directly to your mind?

    Jump

  • Impossible... that would break some fundamental law of physics or something

  • We can't stop here. This is bat country.

    Jump

  • In my early years, I was offered ether once. And I've never seen nor heard from it since (granted, I never really tried to find it)... but it was probably one of the rarer substances I've crossed paths with

    When I first read Fear and Loathing, that quote stuck out a bit for me. I could see it; how easy those depths could be found (and completely forgotten). I've done my fair share of Xanax-over-indulgence in the past, but even that didn't fully compare.

    Xanax is over and done when you've lost yourself; there's no memory coming back. Ether keeps downing you while you're constantly coming back, and it becomes a hell of a rollercoaster. Like a fever-dream type thing — it is not something I could imagine publicly-indulging on... let alone, doing that while tripping, fucking hell!

    So that quote rang a little true to me. I'd wager there really is nothing 'more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge', especially when compounding with other chemicals. I literally couldn't imagine... and kinda glad I never found out lol. God speed for anyone testing those waters

  • westerners, how do you pronounce the letter "w" do you say dablu or double you or just dub or double v?

    Jump

  • "Dubba-you" is my informal; "dubbya" if I'm throwing an exaggerated southern accent

  • What literary terms like 'palindrome' or 'semordnilap' are your favorite and why?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I'll ever truly recover what "telephone" means... it's like a fleeting hazy picture, disappearing as I turn to look

  • why so much Star Trek?

    Jump

  • I started watching the show because of the Star Trek memes around here lol. Turns out I was a fan all along, who just never watched it before. Now I've watched TOS and TNG, I'm over halfway through Voyager and Lower Decks as well, and will probably start throwing in some DS9 soon. It's good stuff, especially if you like sci-fi

  • Does anyone else cook a whole meal hungry and upon finishing, you don't want to eat it at all?

    Jump

  • I've heard smelling coffee beans can sometimes help when this happens; regarding the whole smell fatigue thing others have mentioned
