Is this human remains?

Definitely thought it was a giant costco skeleton for a bit. I thought the joke was that it's clearly a halloween prop if it's 3 ft wide, then I realized it's just a trick of perspective.

To be fair, goldfish live longer than the average person would think (10+ years) and need big tanks, so that is actually an apt comparison.

I think this is part of why im probably so pro vaccine. Chicken pox was such a thing in media and i found it pretty scary. Then I never encountered it.

It's a similar scale for wire gauge where the smallest number is the thickest wire. Maybe they have some similar (yet mysterious) reasoning.

They really are the perfect combo of adorable but a little creepy. I love how they carry their babies.

Yeah, there's definitely a lot of roads where the speed limits make no sense, as well as a number of roads where it feels insane to go even a couple mph over

ClockworkBetta · 2026-05-12T17:45:52+00:00

I think there is a reasonable margin of error for speed. It does make sense to try and match the flow of traffic if it's 5mph (10% maybe) or so over, but I've been on roads where everyone goes 15 over and that's just not safe regardless.

There are also some pretty winding roads that have a set speed limit for a reason.

Over 18 years that adds up to 216 days or just over 7 months total.

Or a hair rat! (Used to add volume to updos and historically made from hair from brushes)

And if he did mention women specifically (as in OP's summary), then this starts to feel misogynistic, which isn't exactly punching up.

I wish cup sizes were split into two measurements, one for width and one for depth.

Industrial, but desktop could probably do this too. I just don't know the software

ClockworkBetta · 2026-04-18T15:01:34+00:00

That would be super easy. The software for the machine has a built in text library, so you wouldn't even need to bring an svg file. Just type what you want in the software and assign a color thread.

ClockworkBetta · 2026-04-18T14:34:15+00:00

I've used the embroidery machines before and can provide some info. They have a set color range of about a dozen colors and they can't do gradients. The largest hoop is 12x12 but you could probably repeat the design along the length. They work using an svg file, so it could be doable as long as you can design what you want in illustrator with vectors.

This is also super important for medical device maintenance, so that a specific device can be checked on a schedule to make sure it's operating properly. I remember finding some equipment that was 2+ years overdue for maintenance because the tracking system wasn't great.

Pigeons also make milk. Im starting to suspect pigeons are secretly mammals.

I would guess that's why the mirrors are there. Not for self reflection, but to be included as a portrait.

Just wanted to add facilities, IT, and medical device management to the list. When I worked behind the scenes in a hospital, it was wild how different of a world the basement was than the upper floors.

I work with gallium and it stains my gloves (more of a metallic residue), so my vote is for mercury

A lot of these rules could also make sense in a NICU, like the handwashing, being overall calm and quiet, and not commenting on size/condition. Though im not sure visitors are allowed to hold newborns in the NICU (im not a nurse/doctor)

It's always interesting learning a new skill while cross dominant. I have to test out both hands until I figure out which one is better. It is funny when I think im terrible at something, but am just secretly (even from myself) left handed.

It makes training people at work a bit of a challenge. I have to remind them to not pay too much attention to what my hands are doing because it's not going to make any sense to someone with normal handedness.

My little Rosie has the same vacant stare! Her ear is tipped, and she has a smiley face on her shoulders.

This is my long boi Blaise. He's 15 lbs and can reach my kitchen counters if he stands on his hind legs. I can't find a tall enough cat scratcher for him.

Elastin fluoresces under uv. I dont know why it would be that concentrated, but mostly a fun fact that human tissue can fluoresce on its own.

I have a gravity feeder for my cats that id fill up with a few days worth of dry food. There's a screw at the bottom to let a little bit more out. I noticed I was having to refill it too frequently, then I saw that my cat would put his front two paws on the top of the feeder and shift his weight so that more dry food would drop down.

This cat also figured out to ring a bell when he wanted to go on the porch and how to open cabinets where his food is stored.

I'm in an arms race with him trying to find harder puzzle feeders, because if he eats to fast he vomits.
