you would think, like, “oh, we’ve already thought of all the metaphorical ways we can say penis/vagina. we’ve already come up with the full list of nicknames. we have exhausted the list of innuendos. there is nothing else new to be said about this” and then you’ll open a random explicit fic and make the most improbable linguistic discovery of all time
would you like to share with the class 🤔
saw the term “gummy walls” last night and had to sit alone with god for a minute
would you like to unshare with the class
I had to see a specialist doctor (spine surgeon) near someplace I used to live when I was doing a lot worse. It’s a long drive and going back there seems to make me a bit sad, even if the appointment was basically good (but stressful).
Never have I seen the perfect application of two memes back to back so that both can stand without any alteration but the lack of words itself. This is a work of art. I would call this meme poetry.
Kinda want to cosplay the Pioneer. She even has an Orb.
A little thing I’ve noticed about very specific certain multiplayer games where the players are supposed to inhabit a “blank slate” player character to act as their vehicle of interaction it usually comes in one of 3 flavors.
1) completely generic white guy.
2) a person fully garbed head to toe showing absolutely no skin and they tell you isn’t gendered but is still given a fully masculine body with no option to alter its shape
3) something not even really recognizable as a human. More of a approximation of something with two arms, two legs, a head and (maybe) a face.
All of them will generally share the trait that differentiated your blank slate from other players is done via dressing them up with clothes colors or accessories.
Generally this doesn’t get remarked upon at all by people playing the game.
And then there’s Satisfactory where there are numerous people on the community page saying that they loved the gameplay but are bothered by the fact that unlike other games the devs of this one made their “blank slate” player-character models all explicitly women but also not super femininely rail-thin.
And a bunch of guys don’t know how to cope with being not only “forced” to play as a girl but also one that isn’t really designed to be sexy.
Feels weird to now literally be a “lesbian aunt”. Maybe I need to start up my weirder hobbies again.
The thing about “hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby” is that coughing babies are extremely loud. And being close enough to a hydrogen bomb to answer “how loud is it?” makes that meaningless in that someone close enough to hear a hydrogen bomb go off will not hear anything at all. So in a subjective sense a coughing baby is infinitely louder than a hydrogen bomb.
does anyone on jumblr make sourdough? any luck with a sourdough challah? i’m getting back into it now that the summer is over and im back from my travels but im still SUPER new to the world of sourdough.
ok hello i was serious about this!
I bake a fair amount of bread and such but at the moment do not really mess with sourdough as much as I would like. But if I were to try baking a sourdough challah I would trust Tori Avey about this because I have liked every recipe of hers I have used, including her regular challah recipes.
One important thing that doesn’t get mentioned enough is that you should try not to use plain/un-filtered tap water, because the dissolved chlorine + chlorine compounds will at best interfere with the development of your yeast. (That’s what it does normally in the water supply, after all.) Using chlorinated water probably leads to a lot of failures with brewing and bread baking etc. If you don’t have access to a reverse osmosis system, you could probably get away with using a carbon filter alone (eg Brita) but I haven’t tried that out much.
Another general tip would be to try to weigh everything you can and not bake by volume when you can avoid it. A scale with a tare/zero feature makes this much easier. This is a great scale but there are a lot of them out there.
