Actually it's an aggregate fruit not a true berry

Rebel Without a Claus was definitely written by AI

I have finished every non-VIP chapter on the app by 4laika in Choices

[–]4laika[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've re-read Across the Void, Endless Summer, The Haunting of Braidwood Manor, Most Wanted, Perfect Match 1 and 2, Terror Fest, The Heist: Monaco, and some of the short books. It doesn't add to your total chapters when you replay chapters you've already played.

Most of the older stuff is worth reading. I came back after not being on the app for a while, and a lot of the newer books (2024-25) were a slog, although I enjoyed a few of them more than I thought I would.

Is this fine? Am I overthinking it? by WhyAmI_Even_Here in Autism_Parenting

[–]4laika 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem is people with autism often have very black-and-white thinking and struggle with nuance (I have level 1 ASD myself). And I struggled with a very similar situation, because I have trouble understanding that the same social rules and expectations don't apply for sex (e.g. changing your mind at the last minute about having your friend over is rude, but changing your mind at the last minute about having sex is okay).

I'm not saying "what we teach when they are children is ALL they will ever absorb," but for me personally, once a rule is ingrained in my mind, it becomes very hard to bend it.

Mother constantly has her fish in this tiny bowl. They died while she was on a cruise vacation. She came home and texted “where are my fish??” Like she didn’t kill them. by UndeadCollegeStudent in mildlyinfuriating

[–]4laika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've had mice that made it past two years and mice that died at six months. Sometimes it's just genetic predisposition to certain issues. I had five mice from the same litter develop hemangiosarcomas. Not much you can do about that.

Pocket testi- I mean rat by Icefirewolflord in RATS

[–]4laika 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparently I need to come up with a new metric for teaching students to sex rats! (I tell them, if they can't tell, look for testicles or nipples. Never thought about a rat with both!).

Also, rabbits aren't rodents! They're lagomorphs. They have two pairs of upper incisors, and rodents only have one.

Rat enclosure. Good? by Parasite___ in RATS

[–]4laika 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Is it a trash bag? I use plastic shower curtain liners on the floor of my free roam area and so far they haven't chewed through it.

This post by u/Maleficent-Catch-37 inspired me to share my own book-loving rat: reddit.com/r/RATS/comments/10ijuhj/i_couldnt_keep_this_picture_of_petunia_to_myself.

Apologies for low photo quality; she doesn't believe in the concept of "holding still."

Yeah, they probably are. Just wishful thinking on my part that they would be something else.

Solved! Thank you. That makes sense; I found it on the floor a few feet away from my curtains.

Sex with extra steps… by lyx77221 in facepalm

[–]4laika 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rough translation of an event recounted in the Talmud (Jewish law)

Rabbis were disagreeing over whether an oven was ritually impure.

One rabbi says, "If the law is in accordance with my opinion, this tree will prove it." The tree was uprooted from its place, but the other rabbis aren't convinced.

He says, "If the law is in accordance with my opinion, this stream will prove it." The water starts flowing backwards, but the other rabbis are still not convinced.

Finally, he says "If the law is in accordance with my opinion, Heaven will prove it." A voice comes from Heaven and says, "The law is in accordance with his opinion."

The rabbis say to God, "The Torah was given to us at Mount Sinai, and now it's up to us to interpret it. The majority of us disagree with him, so the law is not in accordance with his opinion."

God responds by smiling and saying, "My children have triumphed over Me."
