Well below freezing, best I can tell. That was the only time I’ve ever seen anything like that. But it was way back when I was living in a shitty apartment (14 years ago) with whatever shitty appliances they had. Really hard to say.

I bit bread like this once and I can still vividly taste it.

I’ve accidentally eaten various kinds of mold several dozen times in my life, and in some cases I could barely tell. Slightly dirt flavor. That’s the dangerous mold.

I was also in my 30s when I found out some people don’t know what mildew smells like. They know the sour smell in clothes, but don’t realize it’s mildew. My partner was one such person, and they -still- don’t care but that smell drives me bonkers.

Unrelated because I didn’t eat them, but it reminded me of the time I made cookies (specifically Russian tea cookies, aka snowballs) and put them directly in the freezer without letting them dry out, and it was humid enough in the container that months later when I went to eat one, they had tiny adorable mushrooms on them.

That’s why it stays unplugged except when in use.

Taking no chances.

That tortoise is like “omg! Mom look! I told you I’d fly someday! Look how fast I am!”

It’s true. That media is called “the media”.

The whole machine is designed to influence low information investments, it’s just that that doesn’t stop at stocks.

I genuinely wish this had played out more like Robo-g (Japanese comedy movie).

Same basic situation, but one showed a lot more creativity. ;)

I got weird rotary phone, GameCube, then that funeral video. I sort of thought this was some millennial meme I’m too out of the loop to understand. Lemmy is full of those.

If you ever feel so inclined, and want to try again, try blending your weed with hemp (cbd-only).

The strains they have out there these days are designed to maximize thc, but it’s at the cost of balance. Thc and cbd sort of limit each other in a nice way, but modern weed is low on cbd so all you get is the harsh high and none of the calm or relaxation. Lots of people get anxiety from smoking modern weed that never did with classic mods or ditch weed.

If you use just a bit of weed with a bunch of hemp (like 10% weed tops) it’s a lot more like the old-school experience. Very mild and pleasant.

It may not be enough to prevent the panic attacks, idk :( it helped with the smoking anxiety for me, though.

I really want the context. Tho the really old jokes I’ve read have all pretty well sucked according to my present tastes, so…

That sounds legit. Thanks for the info.

Trying to sort out of this is a xena meme or a marvel meme…

I’m sort of guessing marvel? But it looks cheesy like xena… maybe it’s neither?

Mmm I need to replace my rotted out front porch that is sagging and causing my front door to go out of square but it’s also not supposed to be part of the building at all technically…? I mean most of the additions to my house were never filed.… let’s just pretend that didn’t happen. And the rest of the omfg problem projects didn’t happen either…. The whole owning thing sucks.

Haha wasn’t anything personal, or meant to make you feel any sort of way, just an old-school problem with modern tech exacerbation.

My house is 140 years old and modern advice doesn’t apply to most of it unfortunately. Every project ends up being a dozen more projects because nothing from then applies to now.

But I’ve learned. So if I choose to lathe and plaster my next house, well I can fix it, too, damnit.

😭 I have two of those actively pulling out of my lathe and plaster walls. I don’t know how to fix it other than just take down the shelves, fully patch it, and never use that part of the wall again.

I should have gone with the plastic ones that reach out behind the thin plaster to grip on, because failure wouldn’t have destroyed the wall, but my dumb ass listened to the dude who told me the metal screw-in setbolt option was the superior option.

which at the time was a bit of a “fuck you” to folk whose phones didn’t like them one bit and presented them as individual messages in their inbox.

Ha I had problems with the multi-message thing even a few years ago, sending messages from android to iOS. I tend to send very verbose messages, and the delay between them, as well as having it come through as text, made them a jumbled mess.

For a while I was putting numbers before every sentence if I thought the message was too long to be one message.

So glad that doesn’t happen anymore, tho we solved it by swapping to signal, I’m not sure the problem itself ever resolved.

That gave me a good chortle. Thanks for making my dumb thought funnier 😊

Honestly was just the first example I could come up with, but the fact remains that a lot of things do consider ants to be harmless because they aren’t, like, hunting those things. Especially other small arthropods.

I’m sure there are some hunting ant species (like the 200 army ant species), but most of them aren’t.

Consider: the goal isn’t for predators to be fooled, but prey.

Lots of things consider ants totally harmless, like aphids that gets farmed and stuff. Perhaps it’s an adaptation to throw those things off.

Arthropods, man. They have two ideals and everything goes toward them.

When I was working on my degree (science communication; half science, half linguistics and communications courses), I had the choice between making it a B.S. or B.A.

I went for a B.S. Guess I chose wrong. I figured it was all BS anyway…
