So they float, of course.

This is an old internet joke.

Still the 18th here. Anyone know where I can buy some inflatable sex dolls and helium at this hour?

Estrogen, yes. Trans guys are fucked if we’ve got to order testosterone off the internet.

I like the idea of being able to take physical notes, in multiple different colors, and making it digitally searchable without the hassle and waste of digitally scanning physical notes. When I was a full time student, I really wanted something like this.

But the price and actual capabilities? No thanks.

I had a friend who got in trouble with the FBI this way.

Best: full size candy bars Worst: US Smarties.

It was Buck Angel, and when I first came out a dozen years ago his views were already trending towards yikes but he was not nearly the pariah he became when the transmedicalist discourse really flared up. Back then he was called “tranpa” (like Grandpa) and still respected for his advocacy during a time when there were few visible trans men doing that work. And iirc he was just given a role reading a quote in a vid, there wasn’t much of a platform to be had there. I don’t think he should have been in that video, but I’m also not someone clamoring to cancel her.

I think ace people are using that already. /s

I think some variant of cake day is fun but I’m regretfully going to play devil’s advocate this time (even though he really doesn’t need any more advocates).

Is an account anniversary a thing we want to recognize as a part of Lemmy culture? There’s quite a few people who aren’t on their original Lemmy accounts anymore due to servers going offline and cultural disagreements with their original instances. When account migration becomes a thing, does your anniversary follow it? There’s a higher percentage of people who make new accounts every so often for the purpose of privacy and that’s a behavior I think, as a community, we want to respect even if we don’t want to celebrate it - having recognized and trustworthy-ish regulars also has value. I’m not sure if Reddit-level recognition of an anniversary makes sense in the context of the culture we’ve already started building here.

Also, the majority of those who are on our original accounts have anniversaries within like a month of each other due to Reddit’s API bullshit - and doesn’t our Canvas event fall around that same time (although using that specifically as a “Fuck Reddit” event is imo not productive - I like the fact that last year’s canvas had fuck u/spez everywhere and this year’s didn’t).

Tips are easy. You move the decimal point (10%) and double (20%). Or find 10%, half of 10% is 5% and add that 5% to whatever 10% was for a 15% tip. And fudge the numbers to make the math easier when it makes sense to, it’s a tip not a math test.

There’s at least one case study where an XY female got pregnant and had children.

It runs in her family which is how they found out she’s XY, but generally they don’t do karyotype testing if there’s nothing obviously wrong, so there could be a lot of women who are XY and never find out.

Remember that guy on Reddit who claims he had to have his leg amputated and he somehow got to keep it, and he and his friends cooked and ate it?

That’s weird, but as long as it remains their own, or consenting others, I think it’s fine. The minute capitalism gets involved I think it becomes exploitative and unethical - long pork in the grocery store fundamentally should not be a thing.

I wonder if the artist was a fan of the pomodoro technique?

I suspect the same people who like Papa John’s Pizza are the same ones who like Red Baron frozen pizzas (which also is sweet). I like both, but unfortunately for me the local Papa John’s is not great.

There’s a game you control by blinking. Before Your Eyes. It’s a fairly short indie game, and maybe a bit heavy, but he should be able to play it just fine.

Buffalo aioli.

But I bet nacho toppings would slap on fries.

Or Grindr.

I could honestly see the appeal of a way for the toilet to analyze your poop and tell you that you should be eating more fiber or that you need to see a doctor because it’s seen X, Y, and Z symptoms. It’s like the joke about German toilets being so you can monitor your health, but with much less of the nastiness.

Of course, we can’t have nice things and you’ll just get ads for Metamucil or the colorectal-cancer-from microplastics law firms in the style of mesothelioma lawyers.

Midwesterner.
