@Owlor It's also kinda sadly funny watching Homestar fans debate "which [one] artist Sloshy Is Supposed To Be." You'll find people who absolutely *insist* it's The Smiths And Nobody Else, Pavement And Nobody Else -- I have no idea why "inspired by a variety of shoegazy dream pop bands" is such a hard concept to grasp for... people of a certain mentality?

@Owlor God, this drives me crazy too. "The sun rises in S03E08 of Better Call Saul. This is clearly a reference to Hemingway's 'The Sun Also Rises.' BRAVO, VINCE!"

The absolute nadir of this for me was when someone INSISTED Gravity Falls took place in the Steven Universe continuity... because they spotted a fucking NFPA 704 Diamond on a fire extinguisher in the Mystery Shack and mistook it for the Diamonds' sigil. 🤦‍♀️​🤦‍♀️​🤦‍♀️​🤦‍♀️​

I HATE fan-theory logic.

@Owlor @Austin_Dern Haha, I got away with some* of my most perverse damn things on Tapestries on the Microsoft company dime that way. You'd think Microsofties would recognize an SSH when they saw it, but this was the Encarta department and...

*extremely regrettable Freudian typo fixed 😊

@xinjinmeng There's a REASON it's on the standard self-care checklist. <3 One of the first things I ask Peg when she's stuck in low gear is "did you remember to EAT last night?"

@spottyfox Definitely not the weirdest vending machine I've seen, though.

@JulieSqveakaroo @anthracite I mean, technically that was for Julie Brown (or possibly Julie Bruin!), but nobody seems to know where she is these days so... please do take it! <3

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm @001zlnv @anthracite HOT

@anthracite J J J is for Julie

You you you are unique

L, I love you oh so truly

I watch you every week

Every weeeeeeeeek!

(you are NOT expected to get that reference -- the bunnyslopes version for media-averse dragons is... hmm... I remember when Nickelodeon's logo was a silver ball instead of a splat. I know, I know, more cable... Oh! I remember record needles! I REMEMBER 8-TRACKS HOLY FUCK)

@hystericempress (Sadly we're tapped atm but I will see if I can turn something around by then. <3 )

@DrSagan (And I'm just picking on Joyce fans kinda pro forma here. :D )

@DrSagan Looks like it's about the same deal -- keep an eye out for minor wounds, but nothing life-threatening. https://rabbitpros.com/earwigs-and-rabbits/#Are_Earwigs_Dangerous_For_Bunny_Rabbits I did see a mention of someone claiming they found contrary information saying they could hurt rabbits, but the whole thread looked SUPER uninformed and was full of dumb urban legends about brain-eating and stuff that categorically does not happen so... not credible.

@Austin_Dern

@DrSagan Yeah, I did a quick dive and it looks like... they can pinch a little. *shrug* If they do, it _might_ break the skin, in which case you dress it like any other tiny wound. Sounds like even that doesn't happen often, though. Zero cases of ER services related to earwigs according to Orkin and Wikipedia. No known disease transmission either, though they might attract James Joyce fans. (If this happens, I recommend burning your entire building down. *shudder*)

@LexYeen Hear hear. I wish everyone who scared the hell outta my cat buddies last night for the sake of a cheap thrill a very happy Hope You Lost A Finger, Asshole. >_<

@relee It's SO gay. :D Also, have you seen this article? Brought me a lot of hope this morning even if I can't help kinda worrying about them... https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/29/us/eureka-springs-lgbtq-arkansas-town-cec/index.html

@001zlnv @Austin_Dern I've always wanted one of those.

@Austin_Dern @001zlnv I wonder how much media chaos I could foment by bringing this up "seriously" at a city council meeting, dressed in full highwayman regalia.

@Leucrotta Ding ding ding.

I feel like there's a powerful metaphor in Alan Resnick's latest video, but damned if I can figure out what it is.
