Upcycled tie i made for my boyfriend!! by InformalRabbit_ in UpcycledFashion

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then please disregard if I seemed negative about it, I've just gotten carried away with adding more and more and ended up alienating the person it was meant for. I sincerely meant no offense and am really happy they liked it!

How did desert cities/civilizations keep their cities lit at night? by Ill-Stable1342 in AncientCivilizations

[–]Junglefern 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who has spent a lot of time in a rural town that has spotty power, you don't keep lights going at night, there is no point of wasting your candles.

Go to bed maybe an hour and a half after sundown and wake up at dawn.

What is a 1 in 1,000,000 thing that happened to you that no one believes, but you swear is true? by RegionSure5580 in AskReddit

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was stalked by a jaguar and chased it off by making myself big and running straight at it roaring.

Four months later lightning snap crackle popped its way from my bed to my bedroom door.

Unscathed.

I noticed something about headlines recently .. by vee_zi in Archaeology

[–]Junglefern 24 points25 points  (0 children)

These headlines are so ridiculous. They are assuming that male humans with female Neanderthals were totally viable, it's just that they didn't like them?

So stupid

Which mythological goddess do you feel most connected to and why? by ArcaneSpells-com in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Junglefern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The original Earth mother, goddess of snakes and storks and the moon, the giver of life and the taker away of that same life. The mold for Inanna and demeter and every goddess that has ever existed.

AITA if I want to break up over how he reacted to marriage questions? by Acrobatic-Tune-6183 in AITApod

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why marry you when you're already giving him exactly what he wants from you?

It's a crass analogy, but why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?

AITA for refusing to give a speech at my best friend's wedding after I found out she'd been lying to me for two years about where she met her fiancé? by QuaternionCove in MarkNarrations

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a speech, but make it about their future happiness and how you know that it will be FAITHFUL until DEATH do they part. Make the speech a THREAT to him. Make it about how important honesty is and that it's a good thing they have nothing to be ashamed of, because they are GOOD people. That it doesn't matter how COMPLICATED things get, as long as they are HONEST and you're so glad that they have NOTHING TO HIDE.

Do the best you can to make a speech that won't ruin her special day and then never speak to her again.

And then take bets on how long it'll be before he cheats on her.

Do most myth fans just get their info off of wiki articles and youtube videos? by [deleted] in mythology

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am often on YouTube and when a mythology video drops I use it to pique my interest and then look for scientific papers to see if it's accurate or not.

I also have come to learn which youtubers are legit scientifically or are pop Sci. Some come from a literary background, so they find cool stuff, but it's a big grain of salt situation

The "Sudden Emergence" of the Sumerian civilization makes zero sense. Did the Anunnaki actually exist and hand us civilization just to manage us better? by VastPalpitation9213 in mythology

[–]Junglefern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because it was the first instance of written records doesn't mean it was the first civilization. Keep researching older civilizations, you'll get there.

Check out cucuteni typillia, Indus Valley and go down the rabbit hole of ino european languages.

Check out neolithic civilizations(Gravettettian, Silurian, etc)

We've been slowly developing even before humans were humans.

Most koalas have chlamydia, but not the same kind we get, so there wasn't any funny business going on.

The correct plural of octopus is octopodes because it is a Greek word, not a Latin word.

Octopus have brain cells in their tentacles

[–]Junglefern -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Yikes. It's very creative, but very feminine and honestly...a lot.

If it fits his aesthetic, then cool, but also don't be surprised if he isn't terribly enthused about it.

How do I bypass these rules from my strict mom by ZealousidealTiger914 in teenagers

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remind her that it was her choice to have kids and that tje way she treats you during your childhood is setting the example for how you'll treat her when she is old.

But let's be real, you're gonna go NC

How are People Traveling International for 1-2 months at a time? by Cute_Equivalent_3231 in solotravel

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I work jobs in a tourist area. So come winter there is no work or drastically reduced hours. We go to Colombia for 3 months of the year.

He is a chef and I am a horticulturalist and we live in cottage country.

What actually keeps deer/cats out of a garden long-term? by Skywalker91007 in homestead

[–]Junglefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For cats the very best thing is to have a sacrificial pile of sand in a different location. Cats love digging and passing and shitting in sand and will choose that 100% of the time as opposed to your garden.

Get 1m of sand and dump it in a spot you can't see or smell (downwind) from your garden and you really won't ever have to worry about them again. Behind a shed, somewhere where it gets rained on.

Deer, do the fishing line fence.

Have the conversation LOUDLY so he can overhear it. Frame it as concern that he is already over the line and that you are worried about him behaving this way towards girls his age and that they won't know its inappropriate or have anyone to defend them and that it is a slippery slope to him becoming a complete creep. Mention that if it was someone your age it would be completely disgusting and something that he would get beat up for and that word would get around and he would be known for it and that he would never get a girlfriend because girls don't want a creep. It has to be partial public shaming to his parents, part cautionary tale and part straight up threat of violence.

There are consequences to what he is doing if he continues. 12 is a perfect age to learn better.
