That’d be a long bridge.

Hey, I’m on voyager and this post failed to load. What file format is this so i can inform the dev of this?
- Comment on He'll realize one day 1 week ago:
In past times, you would have several generations of family adults all under the same roof. If you go even further back, the homes were made with a single sleeping area. During those times, it was pretty likely that you would hear or see a family getting it on in some fashion - in fact, it was likely unavoidable to some extent. These kinds of living situations still exist in various parts of the world, too.
We’ve gotten very accustomed to the extreme privacy that private chambers provide, and it’s made us prudes over sex - even though it’s something the vast majority of us do in some fashion.
This image is still pretty funny though.
- Comment on Drugs are candy for adults, and comedy entertainment marketed towards adults is the equivalent of making funny faces/sounds/peekaboos at a baby. 1 week ago:
Gonna call this one an L. Having done drugs and eaten candy, they are not the same. I do not consume drugs for the same reason I consume candy. I take ibuprofen for head aches, I drink coffee to wake up, and I take weed to mellow out or sleep better. On the other hand, I eat candy because it tastes good. These are nowhere near the same.
For comedy entertainment and peekaboo, the similarities stop at “they make you laugh”. That’s the only similarity.

These ones are… different. When I use these ones the mountain ridges appear to dip inwards? Away from the screen. This was not the case for the ones in the main post

Idea!
Carbonize the remains and then woodchipper those! They’re basically charcoal so it’s less messy, and they can be caught in a net NP!

- Comment on p is for pHunky 1 month ago:
That’s actually an interesting one.
The ‘p’ could have a different meaning for a variety of languages. ‘Puissance’ in French, ‘Potenz’ in German, ‘potential’ or ‘power’ in English, ‘pondus’ or ‘potentia’ in Latin, or ‘Potens’ in Danish (probably the Danish one originally, since it was a Danish chemist who first introduced the measurement).
It’s very fun that because of the vagueness, various languages can have its meaning directly translated to their own.
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 1 month ago:
That is my bad, not explaining this clearly.
Our formations of plastics usually utilizes petroleum products being formed into long polymeric chains. That’s what provides the pliable, even stretchy nature of many plastics. However, we don’t make all plastics out of petroleum - we also use resin mixtures and various other chemical processes for specialized plastics - PLA, for instance, is synthesized from plant starch, for instance. So, when we’re talking about ‘plastics’, we’re usually talking about petroleum products, but it includes other long-polymer-chain materials we artificially synthesize.
Having covered that, Teflon is often called a forever chemical, but it’s a chemical which we synthesize into long prouder chains so we can attach it to the surface of things. It’s how pans are non-stick, gore-tex is waterproof, and how many food containers are grease-proof. I am of the view that perflourochemicals classify as plastics because of that. And the reason it’s so pervasive everywhere is the same reason all other microplastics are everywhere: it chips off. You use a metal spatula on a nonstick pan - bam, stray Perflourochemicals, as tiny little solid microplastic flecks. And everything points to them not being inert to human health.
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 1 month ago:
Another link talking about the case. It was confirmed that the chemical at high concentration in the water was PFOA, which is the percursor to Teflon, and which was leaking from the factory site. It has the same effects as other perfluorinated carbines (PFCs). It is also the exact chemical group that we’ve been testing peoples’ blood for, PFOA and other PFCs. It’s the group of chemicals we’ve found strong links to various types of cancers. Research communicates that it is not inert in the body as a microplastic.
It is 100% the reason those cows withered and died like they did. it directly lines up with everything else we know about PFOA. The concentrations were higher than anywhere else, which explains why the cows died so rapidly. The only reason we don’t have complete confirmation is from DuPont meddling to try and downplay this, the same way the meddled by witholding their research on the health risks of PFCs, and the same way they stayed silent and didn’t act when the alarm was sounded by that Parkersburg farmer.
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 1 month ago:
The water surrounding DuPont plants manufacturing PFOA-based materials was contaminated with those plastics. A local farmer videotaped his cows develop ulcers, grow tumors, and eventually wither and die. He constantly insisted that something was in the water that was killing his cows. Those same chemicals are now pervasive everywhere, in everyone’s bodies to some extent. It is 100% accurate to say these chemical compounds will kill you longterm.

That tongue is for excavating insects out of wood right? That’s very interesting that it also uses it for annoying other animals.
