Grow your own eggs.

Chickens are friggin awesome. I love my girls.

Yeah but that applies to most of MS’s engineering staff.

It really reads like an AI attempting to paraphrase the lyrics of the song without infringing upon copyright.

The 10 Rap Commandments was an homage to Biggies “10 Crack Commandments”. LMM put in tons of references to hiphop culture, literature, and pop-culture. I particularly like how he managed to work in “Screw your courage to the sticking place” as a reference to both Macbeth and the best song in his favorite Disney movie (Beauty and the Beast). (My opinion on being best song in B&B. Probably #2 for Disney Villain songs…Be Prepared has my #1 spot)

Man the dude is such an impressive lyricist. I can’t say I care much for his singing…he’s talented, don’t get me wrong, but far from the best singer in the original cast (which itself is a huge contest but probably Leslie Odom Jr (Burr), though Renee Goldsbury (Angelica Schuyler) or Philippa Soo (Elizabeth Schuyler/Hamilton) were both absolutely amazing too…“Burn” still gives me chills)…but writing is really his strength.

Right? Like I was so hopeful that this was his death notice.

That’s the only reason I want this POS on my front page.

I think I recall hearing that snakes can’t really determine the sex of other snakes. They just all pile on and hope for the best.

And don’t get me started on ferns.

TIL that flamingo chicks raised by gay pairings have a higher survival rate than those raised by straight pairings.

That is the most flamboyant thing I think I’ll read all month.

Honey if it don’t fit, then you must use spit.

I think I remember a similar recipe from The Anarchists Cookbook. Believe it was called “Banandine”.

They were there for beer, not punch.

Not necessarily not interacting with others just…time without other obligations. Time which is exclusively mine to do with what I want. Not working. Chores done (or at least the ones that need doing). Kids in bed. Finished for the day.

Whether that’s alone or with a partner or with friends doesn’t matter. What matters is, I’m in charge of the time, and anybody around me is on my wavelength.

I’m an introvert and a homebody, tho, so most of the time it’s gaming, doom-scrolling, wiki-diving, or shit-posting. As long as it brings me joy (so trying less of the doom-scrolling…).

So really I’ve just shifted what I’m doing with that time, and where that time is. Now I’m reading in bed with my partner. She does the same. Not that I don’t like sitting quietly with her (believe me, I love it), but sometimes I just want to sit quietly without her, or anyone or anything in particular…ya know?

Ok, this isn’t really my community, but y’all got good memes and you hit my all constantly.

I never understood the value of good sleep. I’d just get maybe 5-6 hours before my kids would jump into bed and wake me up and then my day starts.

Had a sleep study done and turns out I wasn’t getting any deep sleep (in addition to apnea)

Like, no wonder I feel so foggy and forgetful. Wicked cranky and short-tempered. Barely recovered from sciatica flareup after 4 months.

I thought I was getting old (I’m only 41 but still…). I thought being tired was just part of having kids.

And sure that’s a part of it, but only a small part.

Started going to bed earlier. Much earlier. Like 9 or 10 instead of 12 or 1. Phone off. Reading Kindle. About an hour in and I’m ready to pass out. Head and legs propped up (look up “zero gravity sleep position”…game changer). Solid night sleep.

Stopped smoking cannabis right before/in bed. You know cannabis can inhibit REM sleep? Easier to fall asleep, sure, but not nearly as restorative.

I feel sooooooo much better. I’m dreaming again!

Anyways, just wanted to share. Don’t discount the importance of a good night sleep. Having an hour or two to yourself is great but it’s not worth it. Not every night.

They’re a b-boy? Gonna bust out some windmills? Do the worm? Turtle?

Me after eating a big greasy burger on GLP-1s?

That’s not really fair to the billionaires at the beginning of the line, who are probably going to be the most deserving.

Dulled guillotine blades for everyone!

We could really drag this out. Make a reality TV series. Merchandising rights. Lots of opportunities to make some money here…

No he’s planning the whole event. We need live music, Jigsaw (from Saw), and a revolving sushi bar.

Gotta have the sushi bar. Non-negotiable.

Can’t we just re-tool the orphan crushing machine? I mean, it’s right there.

MLK wouldn’t have been effective without Malcom X.

But which one has a holiday?

Man my teenager to adult transitional cynicism was pretty fucking bad (which of course occurred between 9/11 and the 2008 financial collapse)…middle-aged awakening is even fucking worse.
