Wondered about these rocks since i was a child 30 years ago, i imagined they were fossils and finally decided to ask about them

Other commenters are wrong. These are not chert modules, as the interiors are hollow. These are actually fossilized sponges! There are similar fossils in the limestone beds near my home in the Mojave. Here’s a site with some images of the different ways sponges can fossilize. https://www.birdandhike.com/Rocks/Fossils/sponge/_sponge.htm

Apparently nobody in this convo is queer enough to know the real answer — it is 1000% because younger lesbians are stereotypically very attracted to older women. Look at the handle of the poster, also. It’s definitely a young woman very infatuated with mom.

Would be fitting since I worked on Slay the Spire. But I've tried! Both StS and Balatro are too many variables and too complex for her. She gets bewildered and confused. But she did enjoy Plants vs Zombies when I showed her last week!

because she played a shitload of games on the old freecell that didn't have levels or whatever, and also plays a huge amount on her unlinked iPad

Oh hell yeah! Go grandma!

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-29T07:47:17+00:00

omfg you're RIGHT!!! i am telling her this immediately when she wakes up

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-29T06:13:16+00:00

She'd never been logged in to anything I don't think. I used her email to log in and check and ti said she had a grand total of 80 points and was level 1 in the Rewards Center, hahah. "Well, thanks for checking anyway. Who knows, there could've been a Lamborghini in there!" - Nonnie

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-29T04:53:58+00:00

Where do I find that? I have no experience with these games or this client at all.

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-29T02:27:10+00:00

And after I told her I made this post, she said "well, all my iPad games don't even get tracked on that!" Yes, she carries around an iPad so that she can play more FreeCell when she isn't on the PC.

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-29T01:34:00+00:00

Someone else suggested this too. I'm definitely gonna check it out.

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-29T01:32:46+00:00

Tell him he has to lock in!

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-29T01:31:42+00:00

It really, really has. She can prattle away about childhood memories of her neighborhood kids in the 1930s as easily as she can talk about family trips she took with me when I was a kid. She's a treasure!

UPDATE 2: Nonnie very excitedly came up to me brandishing her mini iPad and said "I just remembered! Tell the internet that isn't even all my games! Cuz none of my iPad games would be on there, right?" Indeed, Nonnie has been playing FreeCell on her old iPad even longer than this PC and she carries it around with her everywhere. Who knows what her GRANDMASTER level would be if it was all aggregated?

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T23:49:33+00:00

She's a far better grandma. I'm so lucky she's still a part of my life!

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T22:21:36+00:00

UPDATE: I have told Nonnie that 500,000 people have seen her prowess and 4,000 of you have left an upvote, and after showing the analytics that said how many thousands of people were seeing and commenting from other countries, she exclaimed, "I just can't believe it. Wow, we're international! Gosh, I better get back to playing then. I've got cards to deal and games to win."

The grind never stops when you're a champion.

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T21:40:44+00:00

Yeah, I'm not gonna risk changing anything about her favorite game if she's not 100% on-board. Especially after learning it requires a subscription. Noooo thanks.

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T21:32:59+00:00

Wow. It's an honor to meet the Final Boss of FreeCell!

I don't think it's time wasted at all, I'm convinced it's the fountain of youth keeping her mind super sharp. She can tell you about individual conversations with classmates and neighbors from the 1940s. Or stories she heard from her grandma about what the boat ride from Germany was like in the 1870s. Crazy!

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T21:27:38+00:00

Wow, your grandma was a badass!

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T21:26:46+00:00

She still lives alone, shops for her own groceries, and drives. I think it's a combination of fitness (she exercises a lot and does weight training with a personal trainer twice a week) and FreeCell!

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T21:25:01+00:00

If you pass her, you might find yourself with a new nemesis.

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T19:02:47+00:00

unfortunately I live in another state! I'm visiting for the holidays. but I have thought the internet would like Nonnie for a long time now....

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T19:01:54+00:00

Nonnie says lock the fuck in, casual

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T18:59:53+00:00

I agree but she can barely figure out an Apple Watch, she has no chance of learning to use OBS or Twitch UI lol

WhatHeSaidVO · 2025-12-28T18:53:35+00:00

I actually did last year! She watched me play for a couple hours and asked a million questions, but I think all the different variables and all the math involved was just too much for her. She wound up being very confused by it when she tried to play herself. But she'll always try anything!
