    Allow me to elucidate, @a-sour-nectarine

    When most people "roll their eyes", they flick their eyes directly upward, usually as far as they comfortably go, then resume looking normally.

    When someone who learned the phrase before the behavior does it, they usually go in a circular (ish) motion. Since most eye movements are lines, it's usually pretty triangular: the key points are usually a diagonal up one way, then to the far other side, then to a diagonal low the first way. Thus, the eyes basically make a loop, so they "rolled".

    I've found that when people who learned the up-down way first try the circular motion, they might risk motion sickness, so experiment carefully.

  • WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOST PEOPLE JUST LOOK UP

  • Can you imagine how good life would’ve been of puppets were taken seriously as an art form like Jim Henson wanted? Even Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal weren’t allowed to really be seen as more than just kids movies because nobody can see puppetry as an art form for anyone but children.

  • If Miss Piggy could say fuck the world would be a better place.

  • watching people on tiktok consume borax is uh. something.

  • having to say “don’t eat borax” was not on my 2023 bingo

    Can’t believe in the year 2023 we have to say: do not consume borax. It will not provide a “parasite cleanse”, it does not combat the “evil fluoride” in your water, and it is not a super mineral. It will damage your organs. Also, it’s not rated for human consumption so frankly, who knows what it’s cross-contaminated with (my personal bet would be arsenic).

  • On how a video game about fucking a bear interrupted furry discourse

    People don’t realize the absolute comedy that just went through Furry social media.

    See, feral smut (i.e. smut of four-legged characters who otherwise satisfy the Harkness test) has always been a contentious subject in the furry fandom, due to how easily it leads to unwarranted real-life accusations of zoophilia. It’s an annoying bit of discourse that has been rearing its head every other year since the modern fandom began four decades ago.

    Which, you know, pretty rich, coming from the fandom where a pretty large percentage readily admit to having had some form of sexual awakening over the TLK and MLP:FiM franchises.

    And anyway, that discourse was exactly what was going on last week. People getting harassed on Twitter, as an extension of the whole “groomer” moral panic. A lot of fandom relative newcomers parroting arguments right out of the Burned Furs movement (a late 1990s/early 2000s movement dedicated to “purifying” the furry fandom from “perversion” and “degeneracy”).

    And then, just as the discourse was at its most heated, Baldur’s Gate 3 entered the chat.

    Suddenly, everyone was talking about the game that will let you fuck a bear. Yes, a bear, as in Ursus arctos. A Druid shapeshifted into a bear, to be fair (again: the Harkness test), but a bear nonetheless.

    And mainstream media erupted with reports that the game’s sales skyrocketed based on that scene alone.

    And the discourse suddenly screeched to a hilariously embarrassed halt.

    10/10 comedic timing, no notes.

  • You have been visited by the barefoot crypto guy, your portfolio will remain as it was

  • By the way, this is (an unconventional version of) a common way to get carbon monoxide poisoning.

    If you're going to burn charcoal in the bottom drawer of your filing cabinet - a thing I am not advising you to do - please make sure your entire filing cabinet (not just its contigo chimney!) is placed outdoors.

    (And never use charcoal grills indoors, even just for residual heat once you're done using them to cook.)

    In Mario Party Superstars, Bowser's event on the Peach's Birthday Cake board is to sell the player an "artifact that has been passed down through generations" for 15 coins, which turns out to be a Cursed Dice Block item.

    Top: if the player has 15 coins and pays the full price, Bowser will taunt the player afterwards by saying that the item would have cost only 3 coins when bought in a shop, indicating the player was scammed. The same also happens if the player has anywhere from 4 to 14 coins, as then Bowser will just take all the coins the player has.

    Bottom: however, there is special attention to detail when the player has only 1, 2 or 3 coins. Then, Bowser will still take the player's coins, but no longer mention that the Cursed Dice Block costs only 3 coins in the shop, as the player was no longer scammed under these circumstances, and got the item for its regular selling price or possibly even cheaper.
