Whoops. Missed this three days ago. That’s a long time XDDD
(I’m still mostly on my RL tumblr, these days.)
no no that’s a bop, i love it
“Woman!” cried I, somewhat tearsome,
“Who are you to stand so fearsome
With your wavy locks of auburn hair and eyes of emerald green?”
Quoth the woman, “I’m Jolene”
I would normally advise against putting robots in charge of making decisions that affect a lot of employees...
... the I look at the CEO of my day job.
Robots can't possibly be worse.
I need minors to learn how to lie online again. Your name is Derek, you’re 25 and work in accounting now. Please for your own safety learn how to fucking lie. And if you don’t want to lie, then don’t put your age anywhere. Don’t even say whether you’re a minor or not. It is perfectly easy to avoid adult spaces without signposting that you are doing so because you’re a child.
Stating your age doesn’t protect you this only makes you a target.

there IS actually a reason why seconds and minutes (and degrees for geometry) are in base 60 instead of base 10, and if you want to blame someone for that, blame the very specific way Babylonians counted with their fingers.
The way Babylonians finger-counted was by using their thumb to tap each phalange of the fingers in the same hand the thumb was in, in the order of proximal to distal phalanges and index finger to pinky finger (for a total of 12 taps), and lifting a finger on the other hand every time they counted up to 12, resulting in each finger in the second hand representing 12 taps, with 5 fingers representing... 60 taps.
thats actually spot on.
yes. a gross is defined as 12 dozens.

I guess that means Yes, this time. He didn’t make a secret out of who wouldn’t be in it, last time, as far as I remember.

Happy to report that “a new threat has emerged”. The latest development in the goat saga is that the goat is being eaten alive by birds. This has, according to experts on the news, never happened before.
It's because they're using a new hay collection method which means the hay is FULL of seedheads, which it never has been before. They basically put a gigantic pile of seeds in the middle of a park in winter, so naturally every bird in the city is like "oh shit, low effort high calorie food! Fuck yes a little treat for me" and is just homing in on the goat like a missile.
It's a great glut of food for them in the winter! Not so great for the goat, who has become an all you can eat buffet for hungry winter birds.
Birds don't normally go for the goat because its just plain hay, which isn't really edible for birds. But like. A giant seed treat is a different story.
And because nobody is allowed near the goat obviously nobody can chase off the birds. Which means all those jackdaws are going to their jackdaw mates and going "hey, did you hear there's a giant easy seed buffet in the middle of town?" Because they're very social birds who spread information like food deposits and threats, which means there's a whole network of birds who
A: know the goat exists
B: know it is full of easy calories, a rare thing in the winter months
C: know they won't be chased off it by humans all that much
D: know it is gigantic and full of nice little crevices for a little bird to rest on while they eat
Which is why there's quite so many birds flocking to it.
And the straw isn't like, deeplu glued in or anything because literally why would they? They build these goats expecting the weather and arson to be the biggest problem, they absolutely did not plan for many sharp, narrow little beaks yanking out mouthfuls of hay to get at the seeds, which is whats happening. Someone removing the hay from it has never really been like an issue. Every few birds probably dislodges like, a hand full of hay? Which really starts to build up, especially since its very hard to stop the birds now they know its there.
Nobody fucking burn the goat this year! You could hurt the birds!
Luckily, that's very unlikely! By the time the goat started to actually properly catch the birds probably will have flown off because whatever started the fire will have startled them.
