Suicide scramble actually sounds fucking badass, so I’ll take it.

Test taking is a skill all its own. It shouldn’t be, but man I have slacked so many classes because I have that skill.

The best class I ever had, a course on the physics behind the functionality of renewable energy systems, the professor would give you the equation if you couldn’t remember it. You’d have to go up and talk to him, if you were really struggling, and you needed to know what you were trying to do, but he’d try to hint you through it first, then provide what you were missing. Ultimately he didn’t see students failing on dumb memory stuff as any sort of win for anyone.

As he said, despite being physics, memorizing math, and especially formulae, isn’t the point of the class.

He was my favorite. He wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned sandals every day, with dress pants and a blazer/tie combo, even winter, and rode his bike to campus. Dude was an absolute gem.

That looks just like the call center I used to work in.

So dumb that it’s ai when places like these are everywhere…

Being productive all the time is for suckers with no actual lives.

Unless you count forming and maintaining social bonds as productive, which it absolutely is, in which case your point is just straight moot.

Oh man my chickens get aggressively excited when I find worms and throw them in the run for them. Especially those whopping night crawler bois. They do the keep-away prance with them held aloft and peck at each other about it.

I’ve decided to start vermicompost specifically to raise worms for them to nom, in addition to the cricket and mealworm tanks I’ve got going :)

Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.

Excuse me, what?

I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years in many different places. If you have, that’s fucking weird.

I’ll play with you.

Seriously.

I haven’t before but I’d love to. Last dnd I played was 3.5. I won’t touch anything else, except pathfinder and other non-dnd games.

Those are wonderful and I love them so much.

This is what happens when nerds get to name things.

It becomes highly problematic when it comes to the medical field and genetics, tho, like imagine telling someone their fetus is going to die because they have a sonic hedgehog mutation.

I’m actually a huge fan of stopping mid conversation, like when there’s a lull, and trying to piece together the convoluted paths we took from our topic of origin to the one we are talking about now. It makes for a very fun bonding experience because you have to work with your conversation partner as you’ll only really remember your own diversions a lot of times.

I find it helpful to understand how conversation flows work, but it’s also just a good tool for grounding yourself and recognizing that conversation is an evolution no matter who it’s with.

Also other people seem to also find it fun to track back through the conversation to reflect on the twists and turns it took and why.

Don’t be shaming people for cooking for friends after a night of drinking. That’s almost certainly what this is. And it’s a very nice thing to do, even if it’s easy food.

It’s probably just someone cooking for friends, probably after a lot of drinking (I’ve seen this sort of post before) rather than meal prepping

Did you know fish can see through glass the same way we can see in? As long as it’s not curved glass they can see pretty clearly.

See I mean that’s what I assume, too, but whomever starts their post with metric is clearly not used to the conversions into freedom units and so one must verify they did they math correctly. In case they are egregiously off the mark.

Nope, nothing standard about toes, lots of genetic variation! ;)

Is that 7 toes lengthwise or side-by-side? And which American toes? Lady liberty, or a normal human adult, or a child? Perhaps a newborn?

Man I hate our measuring system, it’s so complicated.

I’m chronically online most days and I haven’t seen this on Lemmy yet, nor at all for that matter.

I hate when people whine about seeing stuff multiple times; at least this isn’t a depressing news article being shared in 63 different communities so you have to see the same thing dozens and dozens of times and be reminded how shit everything is…

It’s just a fun little picture with no bad vibes at all. I’m ok with seeing that sort of thing repeatedly.

Who wishes sweet dreams instead of seeding their friends and loved ones with specific dream settings?

Whenever I say goodnight to someone I tell them something like “I hope you sleep well and have wonderful dreams of bioluminescent mountain rivers with auroras on the star-lit sky”

And it works about 30% of the time from reports.

Aww I’m super glad to hear it improved your day, and you’ll be able to find it again in the future!

I get the same reaction to it, I think it’s the use of flat melancholic notes scattered throughout, such as in the refrain “I’d like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly”. For me anyway. I love that sort of upbeat but sorrowful sort of thing. It gives me intense frisson (aka aesthetic shiver, aka that chill down your spine when something hits just right).

The sound of silence covered by Pentatonix also gives me mad frisson every time I hear it. And for the same reason I think.

Someone just jelly of my amazing taste in nearly-20-year-old music, probably 😊
