I turned 44 just the other day; honestly, without a doubt I’d have taken the pill the day before my 21st birthday. One big do-over and minimal responsibilities to manage after the de-aging.

  • ✔️ Someone taking care of me 24/7 for a period measured in years?
  • ✔️ School? What a joke. Ace everything, be a social and intellectual prodigy?
  • ✔️ No bills, no responsibilities?
  • ✔️ Boundless energy and Wolverine-like healing?
  • ✔️ One set of friends in their 40s with life and professional advice/connections for you as you turn 21; and another set of friends your own age bursting with enthusiasm, ideas, and a gleam in their eye?

Like, I’m not seeing a downside to this over here…

Of the mess, no. But here’s a pic of Satan’s abomination…

It’s basically tiny styrofoam balls that stick together, I think it’s mostly static electricity holding it together. Once you open the package, and start manipulating the biodiversity hazard, it leaves little pieces of itself everywhere.

Much like herpes, and just as welcome. In my case, Satan was feeling extra cute so there was glitter mixed into the packaged santorum.

It’s now day 6 after opening and I guarantee I’ll find little purple and pink assholes around my house

I refuse to utter the word and summon more to my home (also shyguyblue got you covered)

My baby sister bought this for my kids, she’s awesome and they love their aunt. She’s fully entitled to the comeuppance she’s dishing out 😅

Congratulations! …about the newborn, not the amount of poop (though that’s also a good sign!)

@forty2@lemmy.world avatar

Can confirm. That sparkly styrofoam stuff became a huge mess approximately 5min after opening.

Kudos to your foresight, and congratulations for the free time you saved by not cleaning up this pink and purple bullshit

Man, just that word brings back memories of Hardees. Along with the usual red and yellow sauces, they had a third sauce…a white one. Me, thinking it was mayo, loaded up two of those little white paper cups and sat down with my burger and curly fries.

I should preface by mentioning that I love me some crispy curly fries with gobs of mayo…took one massive dip followed by an expectant bite and I’m like 90% positive that my face showed the entire range of reactions starting from “yo, wtf is in my mouth?”, moving along to “this is NOT mayo!”, detouring briefly to “what kind of sadist fucks with the mayo container”, reaching “what is this spicy orgy in my mouth?!”, and shortly after landing on a new all time favourite dipping sauce.

Love that horseradish.

Same boat/canoe here…can’t find a Hardees in my corner of Canada. Growing it is an interesting idea, I might just follow suit!

A towel, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

Traveling with a towel in my carryon bag has saved my ass more than a couple of times. It’s a towel, it’s a pillow, it’s a small blanket, it’s a privacy shield, it’s a surface to sling your fake watches to passerbys and earn enough for your return flight home.

Want to freshen up prior to landing or during a connection at an airport? That towel will get you dry after washing up, brushing your teeth, etc. No silly paper towel, or Dyson hand dryer nonsense.

I love this game! I used to play it all the time back in the day…

  • maybe they’re holding a sumo wrestler training camp?
  • or possibly training for the hobbyhorse championships?
  • they could be amateur wine makers and they’re stomping grapes?
  • they might just be working on their sweet parkour moves?
  • it’s possible that they’re working on their MMA game?
  • slim odds, but they may be anthropophobic and love a good game of bocce?
  • they’re perpetually stuck on the P90X plyometrics workout?
  • you live below Kriss Kross and they’re reliving the glory days?

Edit: in all honesty, some people have just never learned the toe->heel method of walking so they clod around like horses

This is where I was leaning when thinking about it initially. It would almost have to be a non-technical solution. I’m guessing he’s more of an “internet for me, but not for thee” kind of turn-off-the-internet guy so infrastructure and service would need to operate on some level

forty2,
@forty2@lemmy.world avatar

Wouldn’t that obliterate a ton of other infrastructure and do much more turn turn off the internet…basically turn any electronic device into a brick?

forty2,
@forty2@lemmy.world avatar

Devil in the details, as with all things he says…

If we redefined what “turn off” means, and make it more like “no access to internet” the end result of turning off the internet is achieved.

So far, forcing telcos into action might be the most applicable? They can pick and choose services to disable I assume

White glue and baking soda, you may need a decent amount to spread around. If you glue down some cotton balls below, you can simulate little mounds of snow when you spread the glue+baking soda mix on top

The very first thing I do whenever I move into a new place is get things on the wall. Floating shelves and framed pictures especially. I usually just buy cheap frames that I think look good.

Without exception, people normally comment that the place looks lived in despite there being boxes all over the place. The trick, as I’ve found, is to make your home look the way you want. It’s your space, and if it’s your space you can decorate it how you like and it can’t be “wrong”. The decorating style speaks to your style and your own flairs and personality will come through. Do what’s pleasing to your eye.

Personally, knick-knacks and some books, old DVDs of favorite movies, travel (or other) mementos, and small plants on the shelves seal the deal for me. For pictures and other framed pieces, my aesthetic leans towards semi-chaos looking. No neat rows and columns on the wall. I just throw things up and move them around as I see fit.

Don’t sweat the details, there is no “wrong” when it comes to personal preference for your living space. Make some tiny holes in the wall for your “pieces of flair” and don’t worry, they can be fixed or filled in as needed.

If that’s all still too much, get some houseplants and spread them around your home.
