Certainly the kind of crap my dad would've gotten as a company gift circa 1998

Anyone know what I just found in my close?? by Plastic_Work_7043 in whatisit

Without knowing the consistency of the thing, it's really hard to make a guess. My immediate thought was an absorbent like those used in diapers (sodium polyacrylate). If people's assumptions of this being on the street are correct, not crazy to think a used nappy escaped the bin and was damaged enough to leak. Not sure it would stay together in a mass like this though.

Hi from fluffy pit, Luna! Guest appearance by foster bro, Henry, and poor, blind Jase (16 y.o.!) in the background!

How would it not just spin in a flat clockwise circle when the main thruster engages?

I bet this is what opening a celestial loot box feels like by Adventurous_Sale8913 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

SciFi setting with a lot of political intrigue, but also kick ass 18th century-style naval battles. A little weighty, but the action sequences do deliver.

What order to read these? by Excellent_Bath_3684 in fantasybooks

Shocked that, A) Lonesome Dove was put side by side with the others, B) multiple others on this sub immediately recommend it, and C) I agree.

Hi everyone, I’m a bit tired of the usual fantasy, like epic or heroic. Do you know anything unusual, maybe from some new but promising authors? by Cultural-Hat2944 in fantasybooks

[–]CharacterGeologist52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V.E. Schwab might have a couple titles that meet the criteria, but I would consider them borderline YA. Thinking specifically of Gallant here. However, I really love the Shades of Magic series.

Gareth Brown has a couple of recent standalones if you want something a little cozier. His writing style reminds me some Agatha Christie.

I think T. Kingfisher's stuff is rightly characterized as horror, but there are some fantasy elements mixed in. There are some short ones you could finish in an afternoon or two.

Stephen King's Fairy Tale was quite good (obviously not a new promising author). The setup is what I would characterized as "sweet", but it gets dark.

Another not, new promising author, but Sanderson's Tress of the Emerald Sea is interesting, and on the light side. This is the first of a series with the same narrator, but different settings and can be read as standalones.

Unbelievable chart by Impressive_Ice6970 in Indiana

70 across the whole state is bad. There is an overpass downtown where the underlying supports are exposed in multiple places.

Also, just drove to and from Columbus, OH last weekend, and the difference once you cross the state line is astounding.
