I was taught to put my tongue* on the roof of my mouth and even had braces specifically to make me do that? Am I going mad? Is my life a lie? Is this just fantasy, caught in a landslide

can,

Maybe they mean excess force?

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

I believe your tongue is typically supposed to be in the middle of your mouth when at rest.

casmael,

Well gee now I don’t know what to do with my tongue perhaps I should unzip it and store it in a pouch until I need it next x

rickyrigatoni,

can i have it

i want to throw it at things and see if you can stil ltaste them

casmael,

Yeah you can get it to work wirelessly but you’ll need a dongle to get low enough latency for it to be worthwhile,

protist,

Having your tongue against the roof of your mouth at rest is 100% the “correct” way to store your tongue. This actually influences how your teeth, jaw, and facial bones grow

TWeaK,

That’s exactly what I was thinking. My tongue rests on the roof of my mouth, to pull it back takes more effort. In fact, as I open my mouth my tongue sticks to the roof a little, then pops away - there’s like a vacuum seal holding it there, effortlessly.

@radix@lemm.ee avatar

I heard it has to do with what your primary language is. Different languages have different default mouth positions and so speakers of different languages end up with different muscles developed over time.

Sweetpeaches69, (edited )

Yes. I took Mandarin for a while and would practice at my favorite Chinese restaurants in town with the staff. They all remarked on how they keep their tongue on the bottom of their mouth. One older woman actually said it went back to Confucianism, and how that was better for the electrical circuit of the body, or something.

No escape from reality, tongue belongs up top. I went thru a similar thing.

StupidBrotherInLaw, (edited ) in Like a time capsule

Aww shit. I have a health condition so my wife is extremely likely to outlive me, probably by decades. I should start recording videos for her.

Or should I? I want her to move on after I go and I don’t want to interfere with that. Dying sucks.

@thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee avatar

The answer is yes you absolutely should

funkless_eck,

gotta make the most cringe content you can, make it a real test so she has to really miss you to watch them

LeafOnTheWind,

Just a recording of you singing baby shark.

StupidBrotherInLaw, (edited )

This will be my first video. I prank her all the time, it’s in character. I’ll even wear my adult sized Teletubby costume. No one ever expects Tinky Winky.

LetKCater2U,

I’d also like a copy of that please!

cybersandwich,

My dad passed away two years ago and I wish I had followed through with doing video interviews of him. Asking him questions about life, having him tell the same stories he’d already told 100x. I wish I had those.

I am already starting to do that for my daughter who is only 9 months old.

troglodytis,

She loves you. She will always love you. The other people in her life that love her will need to love her loving you. She’ll move on, but she’ll always carry you with her. Make the videos

StupidBrotherInLaw,

Dammit, now I need to explain to the other people I’m at dinner with why I’m crying. Thanks, you’re right and I needed to hear this.

Mataresian,

She can always decide to not listen to them. However, when you don’t make them she would have no other option. I think the recordings would be a very nice idea. Maybe even video.

StupidBrotherInLaw, (edited )

I think video is a great idea. I’m going to do one a day, just about what has been going on, five minutes or less. I also need to start keeping a dairy diary, so this will knock out both at once.

Edit: I am not a rancher.

Transporter_Room_3, in Unstoppable grandma
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

My grandmother once had my sister and I over for dinner.

She made herself a tiny portion of something and set out a handful of radishes, most of which she ate herself before offering us some.

That was the one and only time she “made” anything for us.

I was 7.

She was not a kind person, she complained about the leaves in her yard constantly to the point where the rest of the family has a running joke about the trees conspiring against her.

She died two years ago and I still miss her. For all her faults it was clear she loved all of us, any time we were on the phone with grandpa she would yell across the house who are you talking to, and when he yelled back she would come in to say hi and ask how we were doing. Never called us herself though.

Weird relationship. Not sure why I’m rambling about this. Thanks for reading if you did. Cheers

MiltownClowns, (edited )

I have one grandma who makes everybody food and another who can’t cook to save her life, once asked me to drown a yipping dog, and told me I was going to hell because I’m an atheist. I love both of them but not nearly as much as they both loved me. Not all grandmas love the same way, but some can’t love at all. I’m thankful and I’m glad you are too.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

Major props to you for still finding love and compassion despite her flaws.

magnetosphere, in Reserved parking
@magnetosphere@kbin.social avatar

I need to see stuff like this occasionally. Too often, and it would be sickening, but in the right amount it’s a good reminder that people aren’t always terrible.

systemglitch, (edited )

I find people are generally good and honest at heart. We just rarely take the time to find this out about one another.

kautau,

It’s my opinion that people are good and honest when they aren’t cynical about something. Like here’s it’s just a kid’s bike, but the person in me who has seen far too much of the internet know this probably would have gone a different way if it was just some commuter’s street bike instead.

systemglitch, (edited )

How do you think it may have went different?

kautau,

I mean someone else already posted a more cynical comment

lemmy.world/comment/5371819

My guess is someone would assume a post like that was just made by an entitled biker or something had it been a commuter bike, and it would get much more hate than it has, deemed untrustworthy, “did it for the clicks” etc

systemglitch,

Yeah, that makes sense.

magnetosphere,
@magnetosphere@kbin.social avatar

True. Individuals often are. Organizations and movements can take advantage of that, turning good people into jerks, and that’s what frustrates me.

ericisshort,

It’s really a fun joke, but since I usually just assume most people are terrible, if I saw this sticker, I’d immediately conclude it was placed by some entitled parent that felt like this public pole belonged to them. And if someone made this sticker of my son’s bike, I’d be afraid it would attract a troll who would purposefully lock their bike on top of it or otherwise fuck with the bike simply because of the picture.

Grass,

Ugh keep that realism away from us. Sometimes we want to be blind to everything but the nice things.

hey now, there are 3!

brined out of their minds green ones with bell pepper jelly inside them, and then normal green and black ones.

only the brined out of their minds ones are edible.

Alfredo_DisguidoAlCazzo,

There are a tons of variety not only black and greens

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And yet they all taste like olives.

Syrc,

You don’t mess with Italians about olives.

Try some taggiasche and tell me they taste like green ones.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Will they still taste like olives? Because I’m guessing they will.

This is like someone saying “I don’t like apples” and someone else saying, “red delicious doesn’t taste like granny smith.” Yes, but they still both taste like apples.

Syrc,

Depends on what do you mean by “taste like olives”.

For example, someone saying pizzas all taste like pizzas could be right if they mean that they all have the base taste of the dough. But then the overall taste is very different based on the toppings.

Taggiasche olives have a much stronger taste, something that’s usually made with Green ones would probably suck made with them and vice versa, that’s what I mean.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The same thing I mean by “tastes like apples” despite there being many varieties of apple.

Alfredo_DisguidoAlCazzo,

Yeah for example i love red juicy apples and generally hate green/yellow ones.

Alfredo_DisguidoAlCazzo,

First of all the black and greens have quite different taste. The taggiasche have a totally different flavour. Like there’s people not liking black olives but are in love with taggiasche.

5too,

Me too! I don’t know what they’re like for everyone else, but I find them intensely bitter.

Olive oil is awesome, tho

It used to be in small letters but after so many idiots responded to me with “name checks out” and trying to mock me for my name by using it as an insult against me

I made it big and blue just to spite them ❤️

It’s also a good way to figure out who to filter. Anytime someone goes “name checks out” they get automatically blocked. It’s funny that they think they can insult me using my own name, yet all have 1:1 the same response

Kase,

Cool backstory, thanks for sharing it! I’m honored to know more of the 🐑S H E E P L E🐑 lore.

iheartneopets, (edited )

Damn, you’re so far up the ass of your own misogyny that you can’t even read critically. Life must be really hard for you.

EDIT: would this commenter saying “All [insert race here] look the same?” be acceptable to all of you? I sincerely doubt it. Why is them ‘joking’ the same about women okay for you all?

dustyData, in Relatable in any time period

It’s an ancient concept, depicted several times over history. The oldest one is an old Chinese tale (and related paintings) that has an emperor cutting his sleeve to avoid disturbing his sleeping lover (a younger man). So famous that “cut sleeve passion” became euphemism for homosexuality in China.

In Islam, there is an apocryphal story of the prophet Muhammad doing this for his cat Muezza.

NotSoCoolWhip,

I was hoping it would be a picture, not a story :(

Faresh,

That would imply having to draw the prophet Muhammad.

96VXb9ktTjFnRi, (edited )

The prophet Mohammed has been drawn many times. It’s a shame that very often the head of Muhammed has been scratched off of the paintings. People still honored the artwork but thought depicting the prophet was a mistake. Persian miniature art is a beautiful world to dive into if art has your interest. Kamāl ud-Dīn Behzād would be a nice starting point.

Well they do say the rabbits small so maybe you just need an average height GF and you’re the small one. It also says she’s giant so maybe it’s a little bit of both you been small her being big

Someone I worked with was super into GW1 and was very excited about the sequel, excited enough that I tried it out at release. I liked it but didn’t have a lot of time so lost interest.

I was quite surprised to see it pop up still being updated the other day!

jjjalljs,

It’s a surprisingly good game for one that’s been out so long! And they don’t raise the level cap so taking a break doesn’t mean you fall behind.

Highly recommend, even for short bursts of play.

Grayox, (edited )
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

Not raising the level cap is super refreshing to see, might check it out.

Robmart,

New gear isn’t better than old gear either, no item levels that constantly get higher like in WoW and FFXIV. Basically a char with only items and skills from the first expansion can still be competitive today.
