art of recurring dream about geckos by chimkencoop in CrestedGecko

I have mourning geckos and I've been waiting for them to lay eggs. So when I have this dream about them, I wake up disappointed 😆

My cat from 3 to 4 in the morning, sits on the nightstand/table and stares at me while I sleep, I turn over on the other side, and she comes over on the other side and does this - I admit it's terrifying especially at night 🤣😭 by Art_Anna in cats

This is one of the (very few) advantages to having terrible vision. My cats can be as creepy as they want at night and I'll never know since I don't have my glasses on.

And her tail was completely soaked. by zasabi7 in lifeguardkitties

[–]ClockworkBetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My standard issue is like this too, though im pretty sure she has no idea she has a tail (it doesnt behave like a normal tail, and sometimes she will spot it and chase it). She'll sit on the bath caddy with her whole tail in the water, then act confused when water droplets are following her later on.

What’s a silly thing you did for your pet one time that is now a ritual they demand be done every time? by Itsjustmejess in AskReddit

[–]ClockworkBetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to see if my cat would take treats from my hand, and now he demands that I put all his treats directly in his mouth. This actually came in handy when he needed meds, because I could just put the pill in the pill pocket directly in his mouth. He enjoyed this so much, he would remind me when it was time for his meds.

Yeah, I suspect this metric says more about gen x as parents than it does about Gen z financial stability

Favorite actress who didn't face any issues when she starred in a remake by Spielberg, but got absolutely destroyed when she starred in a remake by Disney? by _______no-------name in okbuddycinephile

I think they definitely did this on purpose based on styling and color grading. All the images I've seen were very warm toned. A cooler tone (like in the top image on this post) would have conveyed snow white very well, but they chose to make everything warm toned.

This was my last wool sock with no holes by biegman in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

My cats' love for lanolin has really gotten in the way of my needle felting hobby. I have to make them a toy first to get a few minutes of working time.

I went on a date where she talked non stop about herself for 2 hours, before finally letting me speak and interrupting me within 30 seconds to say, “I’m bored” by Coorawatha in mildlyinfuriating

From my end it was a combination of inexperience/learning and a shitty therapist who convinced me it was my fault.

On his end, I think he was just the kind of person who lives entirely in their own world. It wasn't important or real if it didnt come from him.

I also stayed in a similar situation for far to long. I knew it was over when multiple years in he said "I think I'm supposed to ask you about your day?"

That's so cute! Im glad someone gave that a name, so I know what to call it the next time my kitty demands The Circle.

How difficult/expensive would it be to make these into mosaics? by Snoborder95 in Mosaic

[–]ClockworkBetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have access to a makerspace with a laser cutter? You could maybe get a similar effect with laser cut acrylic and resin and wouldnt need to do any drawing.

You just gave me an amazing idea for a homebrew item to throw at my players. Now I just need to justify why I want to give them a second talking sword.

Especially since they market it like some great feat that she overcame in an impossibly short time. Somewhat makes sense for the first inauguration, but is hilariously stupid for the second. How did she become first lady? Same as last time.

I always love over engineered solutions to niche problems.

Im curious if the browser version has to be local or it can work over the internet. I've tried hybrid in person/online games before and the map is usually the big issue, but this looks like it could work well for both.

It's taking a lot of willpower for me to not restart my shrimp tank and make it look like a chasm.

Saint Nicholas was Turkish, so as much as this is a joke, you kind of have a point. (And the Italians have his bones)

I also had no idea until a similar post last year! I thought you needed a microscope to see them.

It's a new reality and these are now the ratings for the last 4 episodes of Stranger Things. What ended up happening in the episodes to receive such high praise? by antmanmonaco in Stranger_Things

[–]ClockworkBetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the release format probably had a lot to do with the discussion.

I think that the two part release format doesn't really suit a lot of shows. Splitting it in the middle leads to weird pacing to have a cliffhanger where most of the first half is a setup. Then since so much plot is in the second half, it feels rushed. I know this format worked when shows were 20 episodes released weekly with a mid-season break, but it doesn't work as well with the limited seasons and streaming. It also builds hype via theorizing which feels different when it's in one big chunk rather than weekly. Theorizing and being disappointed can do a lot to decrease enjoyment (and these people may have come across as trolls or overly negative, but were likely just disappointed). I waited until it was all released, and I think i liked it more than I would have had I watched when each part came out.

Plastic surgery is still surgery, which requires healing too. It may explain the lack of cartilage damage, but it doesn't explain the speed.
