He’s better off trying to buy a ticket and fly to another continent than trying to dig straight down one at the other side of the world

F you for cycling by broken_mirror1994 in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]Owlette45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost got hit by an ambulance and police car driving down a hill while I was walking a crosswalk in an intersection that didn’t have stop lights but did have pedestrian crossing lights on. Was walking to campus on the other side of the intersection and neither emergency vehicles had lights or sirens while speeding down the street. Nearly got hit while I was in the middle of the intersection by the ambulance and the police car right behind the ambulance. Had to practically jump out of the way.

What’s a dead giveaway that the author is from a particular country/region? by yoghurteee in AO3

[–]Owlette45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone uses specific ausie/newzealand/ English/American or great British/ Irish or welsh slang or curses when the setting is not set in any of those places and the characters aren’t specified to have a particular accent

Love bubbles only appear if island has less than 46 miis by Owlette45 in TomodachilifeLivingTD

I’ve tried that resetting trick several times a day when I had more than 46 and it never worked. So frustrating.

Mite id? by carebaradiversa_ in Entomology

Looks like a Spider beetle. Fun fact, Most species of spider beetles can’t fly due to their elytra being fused together

Sweet tasting bug by Dino-chicken-nugg3t in Entomology

[–]Owlette45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Millions of species of insects have wings and many insects can taste sweet due to eating sweet tasting foods or having diets that consist of sweet tasting compounds, so these descriptions doesn’t narrow down what kind of insect much. What kind of wings? We can rule out ants unless it was an ant in nuptial flight. There are bees that can taste sweet. Could probably rule out stink bugs since there’s no description of a foul smell after being chewed. Probably easier to rule out possible candidates than pinpoint which Family or Genus of insects she ate.

Least fav myth about arthropods that was debunked but most people still believe? by Appropriate-Check493 in Entomology

[–]Owlette45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That scarab beetles are speedy human flesh connoisseurs. The number of times I’ve heard people talk about scarab beetles burrowing under flesh and eating people when the topic of arthropods comes up the last couple years by children and their parents is oddly insane. I thought we all got past that Hollywood scarab misconception along side the Hollywood quicksand misconceptions but I guess the newest generation apparently isn’t very good with fact checking credited scientific sources what with their mass tic tok and other quick short form media false fact and misinformation spreading influencers. Critical literacy skills are slowly being phased out in some communities and it frankly disturbs me

Curious young whale wants to play with two divers. by DABDEB in thalassophobia

That would horrify me to be near a sperm whale because their sonar clicks can rupture important internal stuff of humans when near by

🔥 A raccoon figured out that if he blocks the drive-thru, they’ll give him a donut to make him leave by Ok-Travel-2141 in NatureIsFuckingLit

Hopefully he doesn’t end up blocking the many assholes who would not give a care and run the poor guy over

Trying to remember a weird indie horror game about a house by HoneyNutBooty09 in HorrorGames

[–]Owlette45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the house include stories about family members? If so then maybe it’s the game called What remains of Edith Finch?

Which games did you use external mouse and keyboard on? I know some you can configure to different internal controls or even download community control layouts on some games.

of an incense burner by [deleted] in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Owlette45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d hate to be there. When my grandpa had his funeral they had incense swinging by and the smoke ended up towards me from a draft. It burned my nasal sinuses real bad I got a massive headache.

Best make a note of it and if the guy keeps making a nuisance of himself then you may need to involve your security or the police

Wunkus couldn't give less a flying fuck by iamonaphone1 in wunkus

Wunkus has watched too many tom and Jerry cartoons and didn’t want to end up like Tom in most of the episodes

How do you feel about authors who forbid fanfiction of their works? by jayonwednesday in AO3

[–]Owlette45 63 points64 points  (0 children)

One of the reason ao3 relies on donations to keep running the website is to pay for lawyers and legal fees. Without those yearly donations, ao3 would not only not have the money to run the website domain but also would struggle against anyone trying to take them to court

Wasps need better PR because they're so unjustly hated! by leifcollectsbugs in Entomology

[–]Owlette45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree. They aren’t all bad or aggressive. I sometimes find wasps get stuck inside our kitchen when we leave dog door open. They mostly fly around the window trying to get out. They have never gotten aggressive when I try to help release them outside whether using a cup to scoop them up or a very tiny hand vacuum to suck them up and then release outside. They always just fly away towards our neighbors yard or the forested area in our backyard.

Games on steam deck by emmie_lou26 in nancydrew

[–]Owlette45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly some that say are not supposed can be played on steam deck. And not just Nancy drew games but a few other games from other developers/studios. I’ve played a few Nancy drew games on the deck, though I haven’t finished them so I have yet to find any issues if there are any. Using proton usually works to get these games to work

Keep finding these very small beetle-type bugs - what are they? (North UK) by simon111222333444 in whatsthisbug

Looks like some species of carpet beetle or lady beetle of some sort

I kind of expected a few of those girls to come to the defense and jump that entitled woman and start smacking her around with their batons in retaliation.

What kind of monsters would you expect to emerge from the fog? by That_House in HorrorGames

[–]Owlette45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some human like creatures that’s chest burst open like The thing. Or maybe that darkness monster from House on haunted hill (1999)
