You don’t think brains are hot? Shallow.

In traditional tanning different chemicals are used to process leather. Brains, egg yolks, urine, they all work. The urine isn’t a requirement, it’s a possible chemical compound a tanner may choose to utilize.

Jesus fuck. Why don’t we make MMOs anymore? This hybrid “single player” game with online match making is the dumbest shit.

Spleens are the organs most commonly injured in car accidents.

Literally nothing.

Ah yes. The well known sanitary house cat. None of us have ever had our beloved pet pee in a toaster or our shoes or our beds and they certainly weren’t doing so out of spite. We all know cats are level headed rational beings. Well tempered. Tolerant of affection. Perfect for therapy purposes.

He is the definition of absentee father sending his kid off to be raised by his human grandparents and rarely if ever speaking of him. And when his kid is understandably upset about it Worf gets pissy at his son for having emotions about it.

Free labor. Gotta know early if you’ll do redundant useless tasks without compensation.

Do you pay my insurance? No? Then get fucked.

That’s because antibiotics carpet bomb everything. If they didn’t they’d be pretty pointless. Hell, part of the reason antibiotics are losing efficiency is because either due to poor use or over use - there are survivors after they are deployed.

I can’t even name the bands or titles of songs I regularly listen to. Some of us just listen to music to enjoy it, not to score fact points with music nerds.

You should check out kelp next. It’s not a plant either.

Sure there is. It’s a pyramid scheme. It’ll work until it doesn’t. The people involved are just really good at moving assets around to give the illusion that line keep going up. To keep it growing they move assets from other safer markets (pensions to 401ks for example) and have lobbied to not be taxed or regulated so more and more capital gets dumped in. But stocks aren’t tied to anything more tangible then trust of the people holding the stocks. So long as the stock holders believe stocks are valuable they are. But like any good pyramid scheme eventually they will run out of suckers to bleed for cash and then BAM pyramid fall down.

Back to Basics. I find copies every now a then at used book stores and online - some cheap, others not so much. It gets reprinted from time to time so there are copies around with different covers. My copy is from the 80s and I think it’s also a reprint. There are also other books with the same title that cover wilderness and survival skills.

Edit: Found one

These are awesome! Thanks for letting me know about them.

So I have this book from the dark ages that tells you how to do a bunch of old timey farm things. You’ll never guess what it says to do with raw milk: BOIL IT.

Wasn’t there also a popular city sim that nerfed the size of parking lots because they realized if they made it accurate it would be really, really ugly?

As a gamer I always wanted one of these on the W.

I’m personally worried that if I buy one it’ll get bricked by a bad update, or the company no longer supporting it, or any number of BS non-mechanical reasons. It’s impossible to buy one that isn’t tied to it’s builder permanently. I want to OWN my vehicle.

It’s like knowing a cow is the room next door. You are aware of the cow but you can’t see it. If someone says the cow is brown, you are now aware the cow in the room next door is a brown cow but you can’t see it because it’s in another room. Except the other room is your mind.

I don’t need to see a cow to imagine it in the next room. Same concept.

It’s easy to figure out if you have aphantasia. Think of a cow. Do you see a cow?

It’s not a condition or a disability, it’s just a different way that some brains work. Don’t fall into the trap of - it’s outside the majority so it must be a deficiency. Most people with aphantasia don’t even know they have it.

Also, strangely I can rotate a cow in my mind, but there is no visual feedback. I “feel” the cow rotating. I choose where in the physical space to project the imagined cow and there is the imagined “physical” sensation of the cow spinning as if it’s an extension of my mind. I can imagine sound as well. But I don’t see anything.
