Held a sample of cloth I recieved from a foreign trader up to a candles flame to verify its material and check its quality, yet instead of burning or melting it remained inert, accepting the heat as iron might, and burned my hand quite badly

nabokov killing a grey alien with a shovel: I awoke unremarkably to find my mother's favorite birdbath in the process of molestation by the grey nubs of some fat fingered and bug eyed hominid of vulcanized complexion. Being at the end of my wits and the begining of an experimental streak, I angrily shod and the fetched the heavy steel shovel from the garage. There was an exchange of swears and brandished gardening tools and extraterrestrial gibbering, at which point I -with all the vigor I could muster- beat the horny little hominid into a grey and yogurtish pulp

[dapping my friend wilhelm the fallen knight up] well met, slime

[furrowing my brow] bro... there is a newfound darkness in your eyes- and you reek of death. what manner of devilry are you rockin with rn

DEATHKNIGHT WILHELM: don't worry about it

we were going to strike the wild heart of the earth with ten-and-eight-thousand iron rods until the mountains think themselves to be spined and miserable things, if you'd like to tag along

me: it's pretty cool in hindsight how the germanic languages, via inheriting it from proto-celtic, are on record nailing the whole "iron is what's in our blood" thing by observing the similarity in colour without realising the full implications of that, kind of like what was going on with the cult of mars drawing connections between iron and blood elsewhere

toskarinfr: [apparently still engaged in brutal combat with /hj partisans]

/hj is the funniest earnest tonetag in the world even without the handjob joke because it's ostensibly meant to clarify tone for autistic people, but the tone it's clarifying is "unreadable level of ambiguous seriousness that requires social context beyond what text can convey /glhffgt"

I'm half joking, which either means that I'm presenting sincere beliefs flippantly to avoid backlash, that I'm completely lying about what someone like me would say, that I'm presenting a mix of true and false statements, or that I'm loaning out a socially acceptable opinion to nudge you back in line /hj

THAT'S WHAT /HJ MEANS???

in my opinion it does have other uses, like saying "I'll eat it (/hj)" as in there's a possibility of eating it

Theres a video about this on youtube. It's a good watch. That guy also doesnt know what a super mario game is, despite extensive public polling, twice.

do you?

every time I see someone take a fork that I know ends up rejoining with the path I'm on, I break into a dead sprint as soon as I'm out of sight so that I can get slightly ahead of them and make them wonder if they accidentally took the slower path

it's important to participate in fun community activities, especially to account for the chance that you do this in front of someone who's trying to optimise their daily life so that they can be bothered by it forever. surely a total stranger wouldn't have started running just to fuck with me specifically, right? odds are against it

to be clear I'd also do this with fellow cultivators just to stunt on them a little
