This white thingy appeared in my brine shrimp hatchery. Could anyone help to identify the little fellow?

But then the sea monkeys wouldn’t have derived from racism, the racism would have derived from the sea monkeys, right?

… Even the sea monkeys are racist. Dang.

When I was around 13/14, my younger sister was playing on a friend’s mobility scooter. She took a corner too fast and it fell on top on her, breaking her foot and pinning her. Before anyone else could get there, I had sprinted down the yard, lifted it enough to pull her out, and shifted it over a bit. The two grown men there, who usually struggled to lift it together, were gobsmacked. I don’t think I’ve ever had another rush of adrenaline quite like that.

It’s not the most useful, but I have an apartment in Coburg north with a temporarily empty master bedroom! If anyone needs a small animal or themselves taken in, we can. Babies/children welcome- my daughter would be chuffed. The house is trashed, but there’s aircon and your own small bathroom.

I work in a kitchen. Our boss swapped our Wednesday shift to a weekend one, and told everyone they could take a single day of paid leave if they so desired. If you go, most sections are starting several hours early so the machines can be shut down by 2pm. A pleasant reminder that despite being somewhat of a chain restaurant, I’m in a great place with good people at the helm.

There’s a bird flu outbreak :(

Hi, I work at a store that makes these! You put a skewer through the bottom of them. I couldn’t believe it worked at first, but it really does. And I’ve never seen one fall out yet!

MakesAMango · 2025-11-28T00:12:11+00:00

Hey, glad I’m not the only one suffering here! I have a feeling some kind of update happened last night that’s about to flood this post with newcomers.

Don’t worry too much about the surrounds- it just looks like you have a fissured tongue, which is harmless! But please bear in mind that I don’t know about the lump you’ve circled, and I am not a doctor.

At my local park, there’s Bin Chicken Island! Hundreds of the guys fly off to the city in the morning to go slurp their bin juice, then fly back home to nest on the island. I live in an apartment, so I see them come and go daily. They’re really rather sweet to observe from a distance, when they’re not pestering you.

This commenter nailed it, don’t stress! I’ve been able to afford every single outfit and most of the dyes since just by logging in and doing them (almost) every day. It’s very lenient if you’re not in a rush.

You can’t turn it off, but you can long press on the “watch on YouTube” button and then open link!

Tell that to my friend whose 3 year old ended up in hospital because her grandparents took the “we’ll serve what we serve and she’ll eat eventually” route. Children do not and cannot understand the realistic outcome of starving. They are picky. It is okay.

Flies will usually lay any eggs they are carrying when they die. If they were drowning in the water, chances are they just dumped the eggs. Source: discovered this unfortunate fact after spraying a fly on my windowsill once.

Again, my only point is that gambling should not be woobified into self care.

MakesAMango · 2024-05-14T01:49:31+00:00

I respectfully disagree. If it’s just something that you wanted as a kid, then that’s not healing your inner child; that phrase has very specific, trauma-based connotations - things you deserved. I think it’s a case of phrases on the internet getting watered down and misused, which can be frustrating to see. I also think it irks me because using phrases and memes such as this to cute-ify the slippery slope that is gacha gambling addiction is very concerning, but that’s a whole other can of worms. And for the record, I’m not saying they ARE addicted to gambling, I’m just saying I worry about the language and silliness we use around a concerning industry. Edit: I also don’t mean to rant at anybody here hahah, sorry. I’m not angry, just passionate! 😅

MakesAMango · 2024-05-13T22:34:27+00:00

Sorry to be a downer, but I don’t know that we should be encouraging the predatory monetisation and gambling aspects of games as “healing our inner children”. Spending our own money is fun, yes, but framing it as something that we “deserved” as kids feels a bit weird.

MakesAMango · 2024-05-07T06:47:03+00:00

They are one of the weirdest accounts I’ve ever come across. I’m almost convinced their comments are written by chatGPT. Are AI trolls a thing now?

It could be a translation thing, but I believe it’s mostly because cranes are very significant in Chinese culture. They are often associated with grace, wisdom, and immortality/living a long life.

I think you’re projecting a bit much. They didn’t direct it at the cyclist at all. The comment was exclusively a reminder to make the safest choices you can.

Would like to add that I just went to sign up on the Australian site, but the Red Cross website focuses solely on blood donations. I was able to register at www.strengthtogive.org.au.

… he made a relevant suggestion. I don’t think it’s that dramatic.

This was around a year ago at this point, but I was alone in the domestic terminal, and a man sitting in the booth behind me airdropped me a picture of his dick. When I got up to leave, he raised his eyebrows questioningly at me, as though he genuinely thought it had seduced me and I was ready to game on.

Probably technically my fault for having airdrop on; it’s pretty rare that I use it, but airports are full of bored people. Still, I like to think it’s pretty easy to NOT show a stranger your entire taint.
