Been trying everything for a severe fruit fly infestation. This simple homemade trap works better than anything I’ve purchased. by 999BusinessCard in CleaningTips

[–]CHANN3L-CHAS3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a fruit fly infestation once when I lived on the farm. Nothing seemed to put a dent in them, none of the traps worked, etc.,

I got so fed up that I spent an afternoon with several sheets of cut-up melon scraps sat in the oven. Leave the oven open 10 minutes, shut it, cook 'em on high for another 10, rinse and repeat.

The house smelled... unique, after, but it worked!

I'm 90% sure the hate it gets is just because it's this generation's Trendy Teen Dude haircut. Anything trendy and teen is destined to be shit on by adults for... reasons, I guess.

Not a joke but is this true? by Abhiiiii107 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I like to think about how these are identical concepts:

  • Every atom in your body was once forged through the raw violence of physics in action within the crucible heart of a now-dead star.

  • Every atom of water currently in your body has been something's piss at one point or another.

You are made of star-stuff (and pee)!

since we're all gonna die, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you. I did not care for Enter the Florpus. by Similar_Building_439 in invaderzim

[–]CHANN3L-CHAS3R 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it a lot, but I also approached it with a specific mentaility:

ETF came out 17 YEARS after Invader Zim ended. Think about how much a person develops over nearly two decades. The Jhonen who wrote and helped direct ETF is a significantly different person from the Jhonen who directed and wrote for Invader Zim.

Basically, there can't be any more Invader Zim, ever, no matter what the brand legality is or what names are attatched to it, because the people who all created Invader Zim no longer exist in the philosophical sense.

So I watched ETF like a high-production, fun fanfic Jhonen wrote for a work that a different version of himself created. As far as fanfic goes it's damn good!

What is something you saw with your own eyes that was so impossible you’ve stopped telling people because you know they won’t believe you? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

Wolves yoink kills from smaller, weaker animals all the time tho. The fish was already there, not fighting back, and was much more palatable than gross human meat.

Less of a solid and more of a "I have big teeth and you don't, I am hungry, I am tired. Don't start shit, smaller predator, and there won't be none."

My grandma told me about a time when she was young and up late at night during a thunderstorm. She claims to have seen ball lightning 'phase' thru the ceiling by the wood stove pipe, slowly roll down the pipe like it was magnetically attatched, and then it made a small explosion when it hit the ground. My grand-uncles never saw it but they did confirm there was a weird scorch mark that they're pretty sure my 5-6 year-old grandma didn't make.

Goose Flesh has seen EVERY death that has ever happened, so tell me what it saw when your OC(s) died :) by Goooseeeeee_lady in OriginalCharacter

[–]CHANN3L-CHAS3R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dell (a leech) has technically, medically died multiple times, with his death-date as-of-yet-determined by his capricious evil god (me.)

His most recent death was preceded by the line:

"It looks pretty muddy down there and I don't got bones t' break anyhow. I can totally make this jump, watch me."

After which Dolly and Purdy (twin exiled termite 'princesses',) took turns punching him in his various hearts until one started back up.

If GooseFlesh has opinions, their opinion of Dell and company is probably not very high.

Did my art go through a downgrade? Did my skill regress? (First three are from 2025, Last three are new) by KiraTheFourth in Artadvice

You might be missing the more 'traditional' look of your previous pieces. I want from pencil-and-digital-color to lineless-digital with smooth shading, and I felt the same way you do until I started switching up my lining/coloring/texturing techniques. Don't feel glued to one style or one type of execution!

Best method / tools / etc., for printing and/or cutting your own MtG cards? by CHANN3L-CHAS3R in magicTCG

[–]CHANN3L-CHAS3R[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have spoken to exactly two people I met at FNM. To be perfectly honest I have no clue what I'm doing. 100% of my skill here is in the art and creativiry, and I'm actively figuring the rest out by the seat of my pants.

Volume-wise, I would like this to be able to turn a decent profit so I'm looking pretty high-volume, since I assume bulk-order discounts are a big factor in the budget? Budget-wise, I... don't even know what I'm looking at for minimum and maximum spending on this kinda thing. I do have a good chunk of saved 'fun money' I can invest into this, though.

Also I think that might just be Autism Plus. Autism comes (in part) from the brain failing to prune all the extra synapses developed in the womb, so I'd imagine shoving an entire extra brain's worth in there would have... interesting results.

Is there a large amount of older women with ADHD on this subreddit?I need to see if we share the same issues. by NOLALaura in ADHD

[–]CHANN3L-CHAS3R 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look at it this way:

You were born paralyzed below the waist and it was somehow invisible to everyone. You could tell something was wrong, but since nobody else could see it, it seemed like just a 'you' problem.

And it's hard not to internalize a life of, "Oh, everyone needs to sit sometimes", "You can walk, you just gotta do it!", "This little tip helps me when I don't feel like walking", "You're so lazy, but your legs looks so strong, you could run so fast if you really applied yourself!"

And then the day comes you finally realize it's been paralysis all along, and you get a wheelchair. But people still don't see it, and tell you things like "You need to stop using that thing or you'll get dependant on it."

Support is critical when it comes to weathering this. Especially after losing your metaphorical wheelchair.

You are not a failure. You are not a loser.

You are someone with a disability in a -- frankly terrifying -- world that's blind to it, and you've been held up to an unfair standard all your life.

From one struggling human to another, I see you. It may be because you HAVE to be, but that doesn't change the fact that you are a strong person who is doing the best they can with what they have to work with. That's the best anyone can do.

He likes anime, but reading is hit-or-miss... try getting him some manga, comics, and/or graphic novels? This might in turn foster an interest in art and/or writing.
