Listening to my welder gf talk about metal really makes this make sense.

Like the other day she was like "yeah the bike industry used to make forks out of 4061 because we didn't have 7075 yet. The sprockets are 7175 because they need to be harder and you don't need to keep the lower weight on something that small..." (incorrectly remembered numbers by me)

So, wait, alchemy was the domain of glassblowing and metallurgy? Does that include like, metal combinations? Is that why folks thought you could Make Gold- because the idea of combining metals and melting sand to form Other Materials made folks go "huh. That's wild that you can make stuff out of other stuff. Wonder what the recipe for making gold is."???

Yes! You kinda nailed it actually!

When i worked tech support, anytime i had a stressful call when they hung up i would stand up and put my hands on the edge of the desk and do 5 pushups really fast.

The clerk at the thrift store complimented my ears and asked if i got the elf ear procedure but i didn't, my ears are just slightly underdeveloped for a human so they never curled over at the back. I actually looked into getting the elf ear procedure years ago but they remove part of your ear to do it and i don't think they could make my ears look pointier than they already are without making them weirdly small. When i was a kid people would tell me i look like an elf a lot, and recently my gf noticed my ears and was really excited that i have natural elf ears.

Anywayyyyy when i was a kid i hated being called an elf bc kids always associated it with Santa and I've always felt like it competes with my actual birthday, and I'm not that kind of elf. But i find it funny and satisfying that I've consistently been clocked as an elf my entire life, it feels very nonbinary.

(Davinky voice) our pronouns are they/them, cause there's two of us

tbh if two people who do this met they would probably be so similar that they would start using "we" for most things.

Just saw someone with “use whatever pronouns you use for yourself for me” in bio. I honestly never considered the depth the pronoun metagame could have, we’ve barely scratched the surface with this shit

Normal park signs telling you what to do: No Dogs

Suburban sign trying to make people feel like they're choosing to do the thing because they're classy:

No dogs Please

now if they decide they hate me because i'm gay or say anything racist about someone else now we have a problem. but i'm not going to act like some teenagers saying "can't trust anyone born in July " is any worse than other superficial things people get judgy about.

It is good and righteous to make fun of people who take astrology as predictive fact, but you need some perspective. For every one astrology mfer there is a legion of quack vitamin supplement mfers who deserve just as much derision.

also all the stuff where people are mad about being "judged" for their birth month is not a big fuckin deal, like... people decide they hate you for silly reasons all the time, the astrology people are not practicing some special form of bullying or judging. Like, when i am at the bmx park there are people who don't like me bc i have a small weak jawline, people who don't like me because i have pegs on my bike, people who dislike me because i'm biking at the bike park when they're trying to skateboard, people who hate that i'm playing Ashnikko on the bluetooth speaker (they are right). If some of them want to decide they hate me after finding out I was born in December like... ooooook sure no big deal :P
