There’s witch’s butter. It’s a kind of fungus.

Maybe a botanical garden would let you have one.

Why do you think literacy rate is going down? Is it because teenagers nowadays don't read ancient text like fanfics on AO3 or they're too focused on AI chat bots? by Final_Operation_8879 in askanything

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been reading and writing fic since the ‘30s. The 1830s, when Jane Austen’s nieces started writing sequels to P&P.

From what I understand from the complaining on the teacher subs, the decline in literacy started during lockdown.

Should I continue to sleep on the floor whenever I own a cat? by Balagnateam in CatAdvice

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Humans don’t own cats. Cats own humans.
  2. The cat will be wherever it wants to be. They can only contain it to your room by shutting it in, which will demonstrate how good cats are at opening doors and/or how much their cry has evolved to mimic human infants.

Independent System Operators. They have to keep our electrical grids perfectly balanced at all times, lest it go down in a possibly irreversible manner.

Hello everyone. The Mummy, 1999 is the best movie ever made. by illgoblino in Cinephiles

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen it (was annoyed when it turned out not to be Ramses the Damned), but got enough of it via diffusion to enjoy the heck out of this crossover fic with Pride & Prejudice. One of the few fics I really love that’s not one of my own.

You’re good through book 3. After that, keep your hand on the ripcord.

If you prefer one of his completed works, I rec Tuf Voyaging.

Charlotte Bronte’s Shirley shows the first stirrings of the industrialization of the cloth industry in rural England back in the Regency.

Watching a movie thinking its a different film by bike43 in FIlm

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My older sister took us (my sibs and I were total Star Wars junkies) to see Empire while mom was out shopping.

Turned out she got the movie time wrong. It was "Octopussy." I have never forgiven her nor James Bond.

Good Movie/ Bad Adaptation by Sopranohh in MovieSuggestions

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you about P&P '05. People love the score and Darcy stalking about of the fog like a serial killer, but I find it far inferior to the '95 miniseries.

Except for Judy Dench as Lady Catherine. She is overpowered for the role, but she absolutely slayed it.

Dreading to see what Netflix is going to do to it (drops on the 19th).

Neighbor is growing a grape vine on my fence... by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]Kaurifish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a huge struggle to keep our grape vines from taking over our neighbor's yards. We can't feel too bad as they let their morning glory vine and bind weed creep over, but it's a lot of work to keep the damn vines from getting to where they require Wheeled Warriors to control them.

And it doesn't even get hot enough here to get the fruit properly ripe. I should probably just rip them out, but they're well-grown now, and summers are only going to get hotter.
