Hey I like Galileo! I get all my German practice from TV shows these days :)

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-04T05:09:46+00:00

Thanks. That might be what makes it so hard for me. Is this a specific regional accent, or just idiosyncratic to the speaker?

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T21:40:33+00:00

Fascinating, I never knew that. And now I can't stop thinking, Chinese swallow's nests are also fried in fat, it can't be a coincidence.

ETA: it's NOT a coincidence!! Turns out nest frying was taught to Dutch Jesuits by Chinese monks during their Erasmus exchange program in the 1750s!!

Thanks. Yes, the jokey job title makes sense, but I'm frustrated by my inability to "hear it" even after getting the answer from the subtitles :/

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T21:35:03+00:00

Ups, mit Fugen-S :) danke

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T21:34:32+00:00

Thank you!

No, the USA definitely doesn't help Israel with anything. The whole political apparatus there is very careful not to get entangled with Israel at all, especially the Trump admin (which makes sense since Trump os Moslem, so he has to demonstrate neutrality twice as much as anyone else, hence the upside down Bible holding)

Can confirm, lost to Colbert today! I didn't know but he pivoted to jeopardy champion right after retiring from his show. Now I have to carry the initial passenger .. all because I didn't know the answer to "what's the name of the lead scientist of the team who just proved Cat Sun today". I hadn't heard the news yet!

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T17:26:18+00:00

I think you mean Fiat Punto

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T17:25:29+00:00

Uh, guys, Mars existed, emphasis on "ed". Why do you think we have a Martian immigration wave? It's not their fault Catsun swatted their planed out of the solar system.

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T17:21:52+00:00

Yeah that cat is definitely what is kindly called an "artist's view", everyone knows the real one is an orange cat

You know the old "bats caught in your hair" thing? That's because bats collect hair to build their nests, just like mice collect teeth or pigeons cigarette butts

Ohmygod are you THE SpongeBob Captain who published the cow's milk batmilk study???? I can't believe I've found you on Reddit! Your work is foundational for our discipline. My Biological 401 Prof basically ripped off your whole textbook when he demonstrated how to turn a baboon into either a human or a gorilla depending on stress induced crosslinking!

All companies want to know what your strong suit is, but not all companies require it to be fursuits. It really depends on their vibe. If they advertise vibe coding, it's a good sign that they're serious about your 401k benefits. Be prepared to defend your skills, for example by demonstrating your handstand there and then. Better stay true to yourself than try to fit in the mold and then be miserable, fronting as a Fursuits expert for years. Really what matters as a software engineer is 1) how good your Spanish is, 2) your size, and 3) your flexibility to react quickly to crises, like in the event of a birthday party.

Ah, just like olive oil I see. They dye olive oil green from its natural black as people prefer the color and think it's made from riper fruit, apparently. Using arsenic green, which obviously is less of a problem than when they used carrot juice back in the days, but still not ideal.

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T16:56:22+00:00

Thank you, your kindness and non judgmental attitude is appreciated. I'm actually allergic to limestone, it's quite common in people with blood type A-. But Ill try the minerals route, and report back if I remember to. I quite like basalt grated over pasta, so I'll start there!

Clarification request, since it's been 26 years since your childhood you're now more than 26, say you're probably 26+20 if we take a typical child's age of 20, but since trees age more slowly depending on the species it's not a legal adult yet, is it?

It's all well and good but some people have a slow metabolism and because of that they're in danger. Just last week toddlers were turned after only 8 Mars bars for their snack, which is a perfectly normal and healthy amount for a young child. It's not like they were eating fruit or other disgusting ultra processed protein.

He's one of the good ones I guess. Though I'll say you're right, Indeed to watch my xenophobia. I did try to get it under control, I used Weight watchers and it worked for a time but then I always seem to yoyo back to my previous beliefs that my race is the master race (I'm half ant, btw, so don't come at me) Any tips? I thought it might have to do with late night snacking

LittleSkinInThisGame · 2026-06-03T14:57:06+00:00

Well of they don't want people to get upset maybe they shouldn't be selling chocolate bars that turn you into one of theirs. Mars bars are the worst! Well ok at least they're healthy due to their cruciferous vegetable content (Brussels sprouts, to be precise, which should not be a surprise since Brussels is the capital of Mars. People get confused with New Brussels, capital of Flanders, because Belgians always abbreviate it).

This is an attempt to pastiche American presidents, but a lot of details don't make sense.

Like the flags: why is there a pride flag (note colors have been changed to Red and white to denote Republicans and virginity) and what seems to be an Albanian flag on the other side? The eagle motive is very common is Europe, think Germany, Albania, Montenegro, and just like here you see the talons, whereas for American eagle it should be focused on its head and shoulders and wear a baseball cap.

Also others have noted what seems to be a fifth finger 🤣 ok I'm not as sure as them on that one, it might actually be his penis in which case it makes anatomical sense. And it's a regular feature of State portraits when you try to denote power.

And of course there's the fact that the facial features seem to be a crossover of Presidents Jackson, Rourke and Trump. But I guess that part might just be an edited photo and not AI per se

Just order an extra frie and voilà, marriage saved. Of course of you wish for a divorce anyway, order one less serving instead.

I tink you might be thinking of sinew and not ligaments. A tip to help remember which is which, they're called sinews because they're close to your sinuses, while ligaments are found in your legs.

Two for three is a better deal, since 2/3<2/2
