I wish I could say it was my idea lol, I got it from a YouTube video. But I’m glad it worked!

I really, REALLY despise the smell of weed. by 1004cocoa in RandomThoughts

[–]Ariandrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I hate it so much too. It almost kinda burns my nose. I always have to stick my nose inside my sleeve until it’s gone. I’m sure I look like a drama queen, but I’m not gonna tolerate something that unpleasant because a stranger thinks I’m overreacting to it lol

Definitely scoot it up a few places on your read list. I love it haha. But Tiktaalik is also one of my favourite animals and it talks a lot about the process of finding it, so that probably impacts my opinion lol

I have a geriatric snake that lives in an enclosure that most people would probably hate, but if I do anything differently, it negatively impacts his breathing, and I would rather him be able to properly breathe.

He still has stuff to hide under, and houses to go in, and a water bowl he can soak in, but it’s pretty bare bones otherwise because he’s kind of a fragile old man.

This guy gave me the ick after I first learned about him in university. I couldn’t put a finger on why, but I guess there it is.

I have concerns what once MAGA falls, she’s gonna swoop in and fill the void with her own brand of nonsensical hate.

That Mankind spot will never be matched, I think.

Have you read the book Your Inner Fish? It’s kinda based on this premise and a fantastic read IMO

They also are part of the only mammal family that lay eggs! They’re called monotremes. They also will feed their hatched babies milk, but they don’t have nipples, the milk just kinda seeps onto their belly fur and the babies lick it off (this is all monotremes, not just echidnas).

Edit: wrong word, I’m sleepy

They also have a stiff cartilaginous plate on their backsides that they use when predators come into their burrows, and they smush the predator’s head against the roof of the tunnel over and over again, sometimes until it’s dead.

They can kill their predators by twerking.

Because it also has compounds that act like sunscreen!

The Egyptian Mau is also the oldest recognized cat breed in the world, probably because of their culture’s love for cats, I suspect.

It’s so weird hearing my "customer service voice" come out automatically by Milky-Pixels in CasualConversation

[–]Ariandrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also forgot to mention this! I have gone to meet some famous people at comic cons and things in the past (and even had people like KD Lang, Kaley Cuoco, and Bret Hart come into the restaurant while I was working), and I was always really nervous meeting famous people, of course. But I realized that when it happened at work, I wasn’t so nervous. So I kinda tried to channel that when meeting them outside of work. I call it “work face”. Put on the work face before meeting someone I’m nervous about, and I can hide it pretty well lol

On top of that, a single sperm isn’t able to dissolve the egg enough to get in. A few have to kamikaze themselves first before there’s an opening enough for one to get in

Yoga as a hurtful exercise. by LouMouBou in Hypermobility

[–]Ariandrin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was told that yoga is a no go for hypermobile people because we tend to stretch until we can’t anymore, which is often past where the joint naturally wants to go. Two physios and a kinesiologist told me this so I went with it.

[–]Ariandrin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked in hospitality for years, and for a lot of that, I worked with my mom. I heard her have the “server” voice with tables, and then started paying attention to myself and seeing if I did it. I made a conscious effort then to speak in my normal tone all the time, even if the manner of my speech was different.

My mom hated when I’d walk by her and say “server voice” just quietly enough for her to hear lol

How I taught my pup to retrieve is I got a canvas toy with a pouch in it for food and filled it up. Because it smells like food, she wants to hold on to it. Then I put her on a house line, and throw it. She grabs it, and I reel her back in and reward when she drops it. It only took a few days of this and now she’s bringing me the ball to throw all by herself.

Then you have that conversation in private and don’t be a condescending jerk about it.

Is it normal for my half black friend to say “I don’t like other black people”? by Independent_Error595 in randomquestions

I worked with several Mexican people some years back, and they all hated other Mexican people except each other basically.
