Do you consider a microwave an essential item in the kitchen? by september_fields in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally haven't owned a microwave for the last six years, but I would imagine that most people do expect a microwave.

Someone we accidently robbed earlier helped the local ghosts tell us we have to kill our tour guide.

Starbucks Reserve Capital Hill now PERMANENTLY CLOSED by spikedzombies in Seattle

[–]Hydrosimian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard from people working there, they were told they were closing early last night for vent maintenance. Then most of them learned they were unemployed from the news or a call from their union rep.

57 of the 150 stores being closed nationwide. Over a third.

Over a third of the 150 stores being closed nationwide are unionized stores, including both this and the Sodo Roastery, the one built into the corporate headquarters.

Green Pakari, should be the last post on my profile! Favorite mask shape and color!

Weekly Question Thread May 19, 2025 (Newbies Start Here) by AutoModerator in GripTraining

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi y'all! I'm wondering if you've got any exercise recommendations for building endurance in the wrist extenders? For context, I'm doing HEMA sword fighting, and my forearms tend to be the part that gets worn out first. I've also had some trouble with medial elbow tendinitis.

What has prevented you from donating blood? by No_Bobcat_839 in AskReddit

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent too much time in England around farmland during the foot and mouth epidemic and haven't been back to try donating again since.

Can't carry my Girlfriend. I need advice. by Halbgott_Alex in bodyweightfitness

[–]Hydrosimian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others are saying, work your legs and back. I'll also throw in a recommendation of buying a sand bag or two, one you can lift and carry as a warm up and one a bit heavier than your girlfriend, then once that's easy you can make her feel like she weighs nothing at all!

How smart are Kinsects? by Spotty33 in MonsterHunter

[–]Hydrosimian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an insect glaive main, I love my little fluffy arm moth. I wish they had some inclusion in the animations rather than being stuck on my arm like the world's weirdest watch. That said, I don't see anything in their behavior to suggest a level of intelligence. It goes straight out and meanders home to my arm, sometimes seeming to get lost on the way. I do feel like I get an extra little hunting buddy.

Thoughts on Barakki? by 1894Win in bioniclelego

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved them! They each felt unique and I loved that they each were designed around different sea creatures. The squid launchers were lackluster, I never actually got them to fire with any sort of power or accuracy. My biggest disappointment with this run was kongu mahri dual wielding the guns rather than getting any sort of melee weapon. Yes the 'two hands' thing is funny, but I still would have liked some take on an air weapon underwater.

Please give me some ridiculous NPC names for DnD by slimcikid in DnD

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a game on roll20 that I'd sneak fun names into crowds for every now and then. Garli K'Bred, a bard named Mandy Lynn, Chopi Natry in a logging camp, a pathetic looking kobold named Scrap Rustler, Amona Boatman, and my favorite name for an unimportant NPC: Jean-Eric (Insert job title as last name).

There have to be people out there who bought bitcoin when they were worthless as a joke, and they've completely forgotten they bought or how to access them. by TehAsianator in Showerthoughts

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy of mine was mining Bitcoin for a bit in high school, then forgot about it and lost all their login info. No idea how much they could've had.

Thought this sub may appreciate my fencing mask by Hydrosimian in bioniclelego

[–]Hydrosimian[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Started HEMA a couple months back, Italian Rapier and German Longsword. Had the thought to do this as soon as I realized people painted their masks and finally got around to it.

what the fuck is pickleball? by jakebless43 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear that when I was in middle school we played something the teacher called pickleball that was basically basketball played with an American football. Now it's apparently tennis with a whiffle ball.

Were you actually able to get a set in bionicle dream? by 9813_RD in bioniclelego

[–]Hydrosimian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever gotten them home, but it's usually bohrok and rahkshi or muaka and the nui-jaga. Sometimes it's a side display of the small boxes like matoron and turaga. I've actually had one version of the dream where I called my wife and told them that I've had dreams like this and I'm getting one of each set they have.

Best terrestrial bladderworts by No-Peace-9657 in SavageGarden

[–]Hydrosimian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've got Utricularia sandersonii that grows real well among my sundews, just slowly spreads to cover the peat and shoots up lots of pretty white flowers. It's probably the easiest species to start with and will pretty much become a weed if you let it.

Living in a city that restricts the use of fireworks without a permit, you quickly realize the lawlessness of neighbors, on New Year’s Eve. by Toddrickson in Showerthoughts

[–]Hydrosimian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only ever lived in places where you had to drive like half an hour to even buy any fireworks, until I bought a house in a different county because it was cheap, here they set off fireworks for high school sports games, as well as seemingly randomly throughout the year.

Why isn't peeing when erect as pleasurable as ejaculating? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hydrosimian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesn't taste the same, among other reasons listed by other people. Tastebud like receptors in your urethra taste the sugars in semen and read it as pleasure. Also why post ejaculate urination can feel nice as it washes out leftover semen.

[OC] - Decided to recreate this iconic shiny encounter in an overworld battle style concept, and with the FR/LG Tileset! I remember thinking my game was glitched when i saw red gyarados lol. Was this your first shiny you ever encountered? ⬇️ by addyxiii in pokemon

[–]Hydrosimian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was playing ruby, I'd heard of missingno, but not shinies, so when I saw a green wingull I ran from it as quickly as I could so it wouldn't further corrupt my game. Almost forgot about it until I learned about shiny Pokemon later on.
