found a little spider friend in our bedroom. It was cute! I relocated it outside with the help of a napkin and a scrap of card.

I want to take whatever piggly wiggly's slogan is and stick a yoom-tah in it somewhere but we have literally never been to a piggly wiggly and have no idea what its slogan is

piggly wigglytuff

sometimes I remember that there's a grocery store called piggly wiggly and just

who came up with that name??

ancient famous people had really good names (probably ancient non-famous people did too but we don't know their names because they didn't get their names preserved to the modern day)

Vercingetorix, Anaximander, Zhuge Liang, al-Khwarizmi

they're just Really Good Names

I guess al-Khwarizmi probably doesn't count as ancient though, he's more medieval time period

if we're including medieval names too though, Moctezuma/Montezuma is another good one

consider: a natural programming language

we've been feeling really... not right lately ,and we can't really put a finger on why

I keep getting stuck at front when Rose wants to front, we forget to eat until it's too difficult to make anything to eat, just. I don't know what's wrong

one of my pet peeves about marketing is that zinc-chloride batteries are frequently sold as "heavy-duty" despite being worse than alkaline batteries in basically every way

this is because when they were newly invented, they were capable of heavier-duty tasks than other batteries on the market, so whatever agencies regulate battery labelling said "okay you can call these heavy-duty"

then alkaline cells were invented and the awful zinc-chloride cells are still called heavy-duty

*magnetizes*

taurs are good

okay but what's even the point of these spambots that are going around anyway

they're just, telling people not to marry women??? which, it's your own choice, please don't force it on others, but it's not like, a big Thing they're trying to push or anything and it's very very obviously a spambot

How to tell apart an electrician and a computer scientist: ask them what AAC stands for

it is actually true though

people talk about IKEA as if they're this ubiquitous company but we've never even so much as seen one

I wonder how many people would believe it if I said we'd never seen an IKEA in the... concrete? "in the flesh" doesn't quite work for buildings

I wonder how severe a disability it would be to have lost a leg, in a society of three-legged people

unless it was the middle leg you lost you'd be a bit off balance but could probably walk on two legs just fine, after re-learning how to walk

it might impede the use of pedals in a car or something, though probably not enough to render you unable to use it at all

@multiple_creatures are good and I like seeing them on my home column.

Just realized I never really say anything to you so wanted to show some appreciation!

I think they're technically called pseudofruits or something

apples are weird fruits, much less squishy than other fruits
