Well how are you going to get rid of the ghosts if you don’t consume them? You pour it drain and now the drain is haunted and you have to hire a plumber who’s also a practicing priest. Its a very rare job description and I’ve only ever heard of one. He doesn’t come cheap. You’d think it’s a scam if it weren’t for the water ghosts.

I wanted to make a cheap joke about getting the ghosts out by boiling the hell out of it but I wound up in a rabbithole about supercritical water. It turns out you can boil the hell into water. With a lot of heat and pressure water can dissolve rock, oil and gas dissolve into the water easily, and if you put organic waste into really angry water that shit will burn. Underwater! It even destroys PFAS and prions!

Oddly when I ask people like this too many questions they find it difficult to explain their beliefs with any specificity. Questions like “what is energy,” or “how exactly does the tetractys connect to quantum physics,” or “how can we apply any of this knowledge in a falsifiable way?”

“Everybody pees too but if you’re doing it 50 times a day something is probably wrong”

Addicts often commit other crimes, but the addiction is a function of the exposure to (and therefore trafficking of by other people) addictive substances. Cops actually love to hassle addicts, so long as they’re homeless addicts. It hasn’t solved any problems. But tackling drug trafficking is scary and dangerous because it turns out drugs are profitable and traffickers have loads of money and power.

We made it lemmy,we got big enough to get noticed

I hope I never lose someone close to me in a way that gets memed on. John Edward Jones was a father expecting a second child, a brother, a husband, and a son. He was trapped in the cave a few days before Thanksgiving. I can only imagine how horrible it was for his family.

I’m not usually one to moralize or care about the tastefulness of comedy but the memes about nutty putty do not feel good to see

flow as in menstrual flow, the literal volume of blood and mucosal lining from the uterus during a woman’s period

flow also as in lyrical flow, the use of rhythm and articulation in a rapper’s delivery

bar as in a measure of time in music, typically a four beat bar

spitting referring to the rapid and rhythmic delivery of words to a beat

If your [lyrical] flow is so heavy, why aren’t you [rapping]?

That trip is not free.

welcome to the timeline. we’re sorry you’re here

The moon is hollow, we know this because it rings like a bell when you hit it. There is no other possible explanation for this, certainly not one that’s actually more interesting than my unfounded assertion about the moon being made by aliens or whatever

And they only serve McBean on McToast 😔😔😔

i hate that my first thought was “where’s the ring”

Flexibility. The ability to prioritize. like what if you realize you have no clean towels, but your washing machine is full of other clothes?

You’re right that it would be ideal to simply wash the dishes before they accumulate, but I often find myself in situations where I don’t want to do dishes before and after I cook. Moving the tub takes 5 seconds, washing the accumulated dishes might take 5 minutes, and if all you wanna do is rinse some berries and make oatmeal before you run out the door taking 5 minutes to do dishes might not be on the table.

Ultimately the dish tub and keeping the sink clear is a strategy I learned to avoid domestic blockers. Regardless of what everyone else in the house is doing, I need to be able to use the sink without doing a bunch of extraneous labor first. And getting mad at them for being lazy or messy or whatever might feel good but it doesn’t solve my problem. There are edge benefits like the fact that I never find accidental mold in my sink, which is nice from a hygiene perspective, but mostly it’s that I want to be able to use the damn sink when I want to use the damn sink.

I would not. I separate staging from process.

It might be normal, that doesn’t mean it’s correct. I mean, your house, your rules, but imo the sink is a workspace and not a storage space. Same reason I put my clothes in the hamper instead of directly into the washing machine.

Any sink filled with dishes will accumulate water. I don’t understand what’s hard to imagine about dishes being haphazardly stacked in such a way that it makes it difficult to see what is underneath.

A dish tub is a tub in which you put your dishes. It’s like a bus tub but smaller. It’s useful because it stores dishes outside of the sink, and you can also use it to presoak. They’re honestly pretty killer if your apartment doesn’t come with a double sink. Someday I will have a triple sink, but for now I use the landlord special and a plastic tub.
