    What beliefs or hypotheses do you hold strongly despite not feeling confident that you can necessarily prove or evince it?

  • The reason for the common cold being so prevalent in cold weather is because of the cold.

    My theory is that cold temperatures best suit the incubation of the germs. You are especially susceptible at night, when you can't control your breath enough to keep your nose/nostrils warm. Warm face/nose at night = you won't catch a cold.

    I'm absolutely convinced of this theory. I've tested ways to keep my face/nose warm at night, and it seems to test very solidly (and I get sick very very easily). Once my room gets too chilly, I'll inevitably wake up with a cold.

    EDIT: let me have the smallest conspiracy theory in the world, thank you.

  • I'd assume that the main reason they're referred to as "medical equipment" is for insurance reasons. They fall under that broad category of patient care, so that's where they are grouped.

    If that's true, you have capitalism to thank for that specification.

  • The constant "do stuff!!!"-push combined with the actual insane pricing of the experience, making it so that people feel the need to get all the worth they can from it, gave Jenny an anxiety attack, which she notes that she has never experienced before or since.

    That's fucking wild.

    Have you ever tasted your pet's food?

    Jump

  • I feed my pet things that I eat, too! Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, various squashes, fresh blueberries, etc.

    Except for his bugs. I don't like cockroaches or worms very much. But he seems to like them! So he gets those, too.

  • I used to hitchhike, and one day, got a ride with a trucker hauling blackened animal organs to be turned into pet food (they were blackened as a mark to show they were unfit for human consumption at the place where they were mass harvested). It was the worst smell I've ever smelled in my entire life. I remember gagging for a few minutes as the driver laughed and told me what the deal was.

    Still not the worst road story I have lol.

    But be aware of what your pet's food is made from. Or make your own, if you're worried about it!

    There's typically warning against eating pet food on the bags for that very reason.

  • What's the most irresponsible purchase you made that you don't regret?

  • My stupid, ugly lizard.

    I had my eye on a beautiful female leatherback bearded dragon with great genetics! She was around 200$ and I was so ready to buy her. Contacted the breeder and was told that she had been sold just a few hours earlier. Absolutely crushed.

    Then the breeder offered up a defect dragon. It was going to be culled due to a genetic fuck-up that caused it to be born without spikes or scales. They're much much much much much more difficult to care for into adulthood, due to their special needs. 20$ adoption fee + shipping.

    He was the opposite of what I had wanted.

    So naturally, sucker that I am, I adopted him.

    He's turning 5 this November.

    I love my stupid, ugly lizard. 💕

  • TIL that in January 2014, a seven-year-old girl named Charlotte Benjamin wrote a letter to Lego, pointing out the lack of female characters compared to male ones.

  • Ghibli movies always appealed to me growing up because their female protagonists were very grounded, weren't hyper-feminine to a comical degree, and actually did interesting things, like go on adventures. Their stories also did not focus solely on falling in love with a male character, and focused a lot on their unique internal struggles.

    I would strongly suggest that anyone with a daughter give them the opportunity to see Ghibli movies. "Howl's Moving Castle", "Kiki's Delivery Service", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Porco Rosso", "Whisper of the Heart", "The Cat Returns", and "Castle in the Sky" were important to me in my formative years. Boys may like them, too! My son particularly loves "Porco Rosso", "Ponyo", and "Spirited Away."

    Definitely give your kids a chance to see them.

    Looks like they'll be harvesting your data if you follow anyone from Threads, maybe even injecting ads. Unsure what happens to the data of people that get followed by a Threads user. A large part of the fediverse is here precisely because they want to escape corporate meddling, data-hoarding, advertising and other anti-user malpractices. There's a number of people talking about this, here's a recent post that highlights some of the things from their TOS.

  • Oh dear lord, the vehicles... not only that, but my kid hearing me yell about pissing on the bike and then throwing it at those damn Tremor worms had him in stitches. I was only half-joking, though.

    Thanks for the game suggestions! I'll look into those.

  • OKAY, LISTEN:

    [ !! Spoilers for both games written in this comment !! ]

    The first game has you exploring and picking up clues, all served to you through the environment and audio logs.

    The world was big, scary, and lonely. No dialog other than people long dead.

    When you hear a sound, it can fucking TERRIFY you, because it's either unknown, or a rare enough creature that you don't want to encounter it.

    Environments varied from underwater volcanic fields, to coral reefs, to fluorescent jellyfish caves.... incredible.

    The land is scarce and somewhat eerie, with its inhabitants leaving trails of life in wake of their tragic deaths.

    The ending? You find life. Someone was trapped here like you. Only it's too late for them.. you understand this creature, and the sorrow of its ending but the hope of life it leaves you makes you feel something..

    Then you orchestrate your own escape, piece by piece. It's satisfying that you are the architect of your own future. You did this. You are leaving. And yet.... there's a sadness in it, as you grew to know and love this world, the creatures, and its many environments you have become so intimately familiar with.

    You leave a note. And you finally.. go home.

    The second game:

    DOES ANYONE EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP????? Please let me make my own observations about the world!!!!! I do not need a voiced character doing the reacting for me!!! In the first game,I would sometimes stop and look around frantically, like "wtf? What was that? Did I just hear something? Oh no...." as the dread creeps into me. "Below Zero" doesn't need to have the "Wow oh no what was that??" From the protagonist. I AM THE PROTAGONIST. PIPE DOWN!! Took me right out of it.

    You're spoonfed everything through the dialog unnecessarily, because I picked up most of it through the environment. Like "hey dumb dumb! Here's a recap in case you're too stupid to put together the pieces to understand!" Give players some credit, dear lord.

    Also: That ain't my sister! I don't know her! I do not have the same bond with her as the protagonist! Why y'all trying to make me care??

    Too much talking. Even the creatures talked too much!! The first game had creatures coming at you in a spaced out manner, making noises as they came at you.. sometimes not!! You needed to pay attention!! It spooked me! In BZ? I was hearing constant spooky noises so much that I just eventually ignored them and would even yell "shut up!!" as it got so annoying. Sparse sounds kept the atmosphere tense! Constant roaring desensitized me and just got on my nerves.

    And the ending..... oooooh, I had no sense of accomplishment of doing anything myself. Allen does all the cool stuff??? I just did fetch quests!! And then there is no real conclusion to make any of it satisfying!!! Other than a sequel teaser!! This game felt like a really fuckin' long teaser trailer!!!!!

    It's not a terrible game. But compared to the first, I was left so disappointed in the atmosphere it failed to capture from the first.

    I love Subnautica. Guess that's why I have such a passionate opinion on this. It really moved me in a way that no game ever had before or since. The devs did a great job on both games, regardless of my opinion on their direction of the second. But the first Subnautica is a game I keep revisiting. It's so wonderful, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to go on a journey.

    No one is going to bother reading this lol I am absolutely shocked at how many people took the time to read my rant. No idea it would have so many folks agreeing with it, either. Y'all are funny.
