The music of the universe is a symphony, damnit. That’s inherently complex!

It’s a genuine shame the vibrating strings of reality sound like tinnitus to me.

I really want to know what it looks like when it’s not all done up… like at least a Karen cut with a band goes to being an ok style when it’s down… I imagine this looks fucking horrible after a shower…

Have you tried jumping? Sounds like that may be the ticket!

Yottabyte is past tense for yeet-a-byte because you for sure should have cleaned up your storage before then.

Pretty sure that’s true. But I didn’t know yottabyte was a thing (fr) so I could be wrong I guess.

I don’t even begin to understand your fun fact, which made it more fun for me. 😊

I’m familiar with TB (tuberculoses and terabytes) but what is YB? Yeet-a-byte, since they want you to purge shit? I thought the next step up was petabyte?

32.7 gb at 480 ;)

But it includes the srt files. Get rid of those and it’s probably closer to 32 even.

(I know this was a joke, but it is still pretty big 😉)

Aren’t all of his kids IVF because his dick doesn’t work?

Or is that nonsense? So hard to know these days.

Ungh, unintended consequences are the worst.

I still have a mortgage, but I don’t have car payments and my bills have been steady for years.

I have never been stable by any historically recent metric, yet I can easily survive on $750/mth usd living in the US. Sure, a depressed area, but I can make it work.

I’ve never been stable so I learned to live on very little, and make up for it where I can. I won’t ever have money for travel, but historically nobody did. We are spoiled as fuck to think international vacations are a baseline necessity to call life good.

It’s not easy in today’s world but it is totally doable, if you don’t give a fuck about keeping up with people around you, and focus on what makes your life good.

Man I’m jealous as hell. I have a small head so I weak kids sunglasses (specifically spider man at the moment, because they are sort of like 10-year-old-boy size with nothing printed on the lense, and girl glasses for that age fuckin suck) but I would love to rock kids shoes too!

Kids get all the cool stuff. And you, apparently.

How many pair of light up shoes do you have?

This is how I am when I don’t have anything to really talk about. Just show you I care sort of thing.

There’s an episode of red dwarf that centers on that. They accidentally save him from being shot and the entire country falls apart because all his business comes out.

Personally, as a child-free person, if someone I was interested in wanted bio kids, I’d immediately stop being interested because that’s not something you can compromise on. It’s a fundamental incompatibility, imho.

It sounds like you aren’t really hurting for options, so, you know… probably not worth the effort.

Ah, see my toilets are always covered, my cats are indoor-only, and I haven’t had a dog in decades, so I don’t have weather worries except for my chicken friends (USDA hardiness zone 4, whooo we can’t do shit!) and whatever else.

And I don’t have the finances to marine a tank lol that shit is wildly expensive, and intensive, and I’m lazy as sin lol so freshwater plant water cubes are what I keep mostly. I have a 55 gal in the kitchen with like 5 live bearing small fish… I’m not a fish person, I’m a “box of water with some plants in” sort of person :)

Fwiw tho my USDA zone 4 has been getting monsoon rained the last few years too… out of season no less. Our monsoon season is winter, so we should get a ton of snow but now we just get rain all the time.

Yeah I think it just smells and tastes more like what they naturally expect.

And honestly works for me because I don’t have to deal with the shit that crops up in managed fountains. They get algae and thick blooms of slime bacteria/mold. Not amazing for health unless it’s a very easy fountain to clean (most are the opposite)

But have a 5-10 gallon tank with a half inch of topsoil an inch of sand, and a bunch of cute plants… maybe some freshwater shrimp and scuds to clean up the plant waste… you are golden for pet water because shit you can leave that for several days and they won’t dramatically reduce levels.

If you don’t have fish, a simple bubble-driven sponge filter is the way to go.

And any saliva bacteria or whatever just gets consumed by the micro and macrobiotic, rather than forming bacteria mats that offput harmful nonsense in the water.

Win-win.

For my home, no, that’s not possible. They get RO(reverse osmosis, second to distilled in purity, or third if you count lab-created) water which filters that sort of thing out. They don’t like the pure water tho, and prefer the tanks.

But in general, perhaps; that’s certainly what I taste when I drink tap water these days (have used RO for over a decade now for all my water needs except tooth brushing - what a weird term for such a weird concept…).

I have a lead pipe feeding my house so all my tanks are filled from the RO, as is all animal water (chickens, quail, cats)

Haha super dilution, but yeah I guess it would be!

I just assume they like the natural taste of it. The water I give them in a fountain is all RO, and they probably barely smell it or taste it, but the additional nice shit from plants and whatever makes the water taste fresh…?

(did you know most mammals can taste water, and it has a flavor? Humans can too if they pay attention and drink enough of it!)

Haha yeah, the tanks they can drink from are just plants an invertebrate life. Shrimp, scuds, seed shrimp. And plants.

Maybe they like shellfish 😜

I just have aquariums.

Like I also have a water fountain in the kitchen just for them made of old aquarium filter parts, but they never touch it. They drink from my bedroom or living room aquariums.

Maybe they like that the water is plant filtered, maybe they just like to be dicks, whatever the reason they only drink from aquariums

I didn’t read the post and took longer than it should have to realize that the bottom half-ish are non-Roman. (Numbers are Arabic! So half!)

I… speak Russian tho (badly, non-fluently), so I should have known…
