Did You Know? (TM)

human body temperature is warm enough to melt kittens! at room temperature kittens are usually a hyperreactive plasma, but if confined to a lap or arm cuddle for more than two minutes, they will quickly liquefy into a puddle. it usually takes some time afterwards for them to regain their energetic properties.

Anyway I tackled Envelope Mountain and now my desk is a lot tidier.

Why I'm a communist in 100 characters or less:

I want to work for the benefit of society, not to make someone else rich.

Time between loading up Meatpunks and laughing aloud: about 20 seconds.

@HTHR@cybre.space do meatpunks mechs have big red "REMOVE BEFORE FIGHT" tags on them?

A thing I desperately want to w

I love when one of my posts makes the rounds and I get to see like:

A spaceship is streaking across the sky, lead by a brilliant column of fire as it burns hard to decelerate after having punched through the atmosphere.

You can see the condensation clouds as sonic boom shockwaves shear off the airframe, and know you'll soon hear those rattling blasts. But for a moment, the sky is silent.

You check the time on your phone. Right on schedule. Your ride is here.

@starkatt Octyl cyanoactrylate is actually used in medical care as a less invasive form of stitches! The ethyl cyanoacrylate that you get as superglue isn't as good for that though, because it's a little more toxic (though still not that bad; definitely do use it if there's an emergency!)
