Genuinely, I believe this originates from their family preventing them from filling up on bread at restaurants.

To be fair, the entirety of the staff is Hispanic.

I do the same thing. Enduring and expanding upon the intrusions until you can line the frame with flesh was the way I finally managed to make use of my personal oddities. Don’t fear articulating and affirming for your own benefit!

Although it took years of active observation and desire and effort to finally wind my way to the low plateau I’ve found

That’s also sweet. I know I’d have had a difficult time controlling myself at different points. Thank you for maintaining the positivity

10000 wasps? No. No, thank you.

10000 bees?? Were I a betting man, I would bet against a positive outcome. But I’m not a betting man, I’m a curious lover. And to be honest, I don’t know where that factors into this life altering decision

That’s very sweet. And probably a little too generous. Thank you!

Here are two that I enjoyed writing. Though they’re a bit more grim and severely benefit from reading the original post as well. I just wish I could link without it going to my instance. Bleh

I like writing short stories for fun, and sometimes I write what comes to me on Lemmy. Though lemmy rarely cares for it, outside of !greentext@sh.itjust.works. Thank you for the kind praise!

Mercury was badass. The slow, seeping madness taking hold of you like a gentle breeze grabbing the breadth of a kite. Invisibly, rapidly hoisting you higher until it suddenly, sinisterly relinquishes its grip. The drop leaves you tattered and indignant, but seemingly mendable.

And so it tenderly brushes the dust off to repeat the process until you’re nothing but caterwauling splinters cast across the ground.

A rain stick so I can sleep better through the night.

The article above mentions natural chewing gums and indicates that they release a comparable plastic load to synthetics. I’m altogether too sleepy to parse the source document, though

Oh. That really sucks. :(

I didn’t mean it like that, but the mental image sent chills down my spine. No, this sort of gum usually has a crunchy outer coating like an m&m, which I heard.

Shit, I don’t think I could fit one of these things in my mouth. The sort of snake child that could do so terrifies me.

I’ve seen a kid at the supermarket pop the top off of one of these bad boys and down its full contents, crunching through the mass of gum’s solid outer layer audible from half an aisle’s length away. Not a safe solution with kids around.

I always believe in you, Borat. Use your Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Is that Miley Cyrus when she was like 10-12? I like the joke, OP, but it’s a little odd to overlay it on a picture of a girl that young. Slap a few years onto her, imo

For all of Lemmy’s positive qualities, it’s still filled with nerds with a complex about keeping the record straight. Some like to be rude about it, like you and I, and others simply enjoy sharing information for the sake of it.

Starting off with the obvious s rank. You know it, you love it. A single bag of potato wedges that you pretend you forgot to purchase.

I’ve never heard of this check mark. I assume she’s 15 Indians or Chinese people behind a keyboard
