also I suppose I didn't have anything that would attract the bugs, but I could have just used a lightbulb for that. This one uses blacklights so that's nice--if I ever need a source of UV I have something more powerful than a tiny LED

I got a bug zapper yesterday because I have been dealing with occasional bursts of fruit flies (still don't know what was attracting them) and was fed up with them.

Then I realized--I have, in my apartment, everything I would need--along with the knowledge--to make my own.

I also, however, had the knowledge that I don't have the proper understanding of safety requirements and would rather not make something that would just shock me too.

aside: that thing is LOUD when it zaps a bug.

Thinking about huge pantsbulges on super-busty guys >w>

....Wild ARMs 2 gets even more weird. Apparently there's a parallel universe from the Kuiper belt that's eating the world. Only in a JRPG!

also apparently dragons are transformers in all but name

also this isn't just a case of #storiesoversimplified that's... literally what is happening at this point in the game

*puts up a sign that says "50% off all beeps, today only!" it's not clear why, since it never charges for beeps anyway.*

Happy existence anniversary to @typhlosion and @yatchi because apparently both of them have birthdays today!

Hey @vahnj just thought I'd say, I really appreciate what you've done with this instance ^.^

http://spaceaustralia.com.au/ there's no way this is actually an official Australian government thing is it?

but then, Australia is about the one country I could see naming a major government undertaking ARSE so

<goodnight-flavored beeps>

*continues to be annoyed that nowhere sells birch beer around here*

...hm. Maybe I should try a health foods place. I think there's a fresh market not far from here.

no, mastodon, I wanted U+2603, not an emoji

☃ this is from long before the emoji were added to unicode--someone deemed it important enough to have a snowman that they put one in the misc. symbols block

⛣

what is the point of this unicode character

beep

you know, I've just realized... I think mastodon is possibly the first public-ish place I've been on where I feel like I'm accepted and liked for who I am, rather than for what I do or as something to be studied and understood (i've had more than one person who just... wants to know everything about me or something like that and it's honestly kind of offputting)

I have learned that apparently some people do not know of the pure essence of frozen deliciousness that is fruit gelatos.... how do you live without even knowing about gelato ;.;

Wild ARMs 2 is weird. One major enemy is a dragon who is also a nuclear explosive. No I don't know how that works.
