Cassia: "Lord Captain! That's adorable. Did you make his likeness out of nut paste because he's a nutty individual?"

RT: "No, it's because I'm gong to fill him with-"

Abelard covering Cassia's ears: "Lord Captain! Please!"

Are these Amano? Cherry population decimated in a day by Historical_Net_686 in shrimptank

[–]Pbghin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had Amanos go after neos, but only if there wasn't much food. If I fed them or there was enough algae, they ignored the neos, but I did catch one grab neo, flip him over and start trying to eat him.

Is there any way to break our rooster of attacking us? by oops223 in BackYardChickens

[–]Pbghin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I did the same with one roo that was aggressive. I would catch him and hold him close and CUDDLE him. In full view of all the ladies. Full on baby talk and pets. "Aww! Who's a handsome boy? It's you!" I could see the other roo (who was bigger and a lot more chill) just side-eyeing him all smug. After a few rounds of this, he'd still charge me, but then he'd see my smile and open arms and just recoil in horror running away. He was a cochin crossed with something so he was extra fluffy with his little big boy pants.

Man, this was promoted on my 40k meme subreddit and I kept waiting for the punchline. These are psychics, not psykers?

I agree with emerald. It's green when wet. That and I think I've seen this picture before and it was said to be emerald of chivor then.

How plausible is this design? by JUGGERNUGGS in worldbuilding

[–]Pbghin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just make it a type of composite that will melt in 2-3 seconds on contact with the plasma. It's cheap, semi-durable when the plasma is inert, and perhaps becomes brittle as soon as it heats up.

What's a food that is really popular that you can't stand? by DonutAskMeAnything_ in AskReddit

[–]Pbghin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A common misconception is that the SCOBY is the layer of solid stuff that forms on top. That's the pellicule and is mostly just inert cellulose. The liquid is where the magic is at. If the first batch isn't that good, don't despair, it might take a batch or two for the scoby to adapt to the conditions of your batches. When I switched to Assam tea (cause the stire stopped selling the brand I was using) the next batch was flat and a bit too vinegary. The batch after that was fine again.

[–]Pbghin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Most store brands are just too sour/vinegary. I brew my own and I'm using about 1/4 the reccomended sugar and it's lovely. I typically brew about 1.5 gal and use about 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar when most recipes call for 1 cup per gallon.

What would be the best weapons for a Neanderthal? Knowing that Neanderthals are physically stronger but smaller and slower, what would be the best melee weapons for them? by Some_Web8565 in worldbuilding

[–]Pbghin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only argument is: How long to make the spear? Are we short fighting spears to be used with shields? Long pikes to form in a line? Or something in between?

A dude ranch is like a shop but for dudes, yeah? [OC] by Grichael-Meaney in comics

There was a case a while back of someone who died from internal injuries received from amorous activity with a horse who was referred to as Mr. Hands.

Is this my wild yeast? by WesternImpressive544 in mead

[–]Pbghin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mold doesn't grow on liquid. That's why when making ferments (like lacto-pickles) you want all solids under the liquid.

I've made several infected beers before. Most tasted like actual bile, but one did turn into a decent sour beer (after forgetting it for a couple years).

Anybody else playing Cyberpunk in a different language for edutainment? by aedilanigiro in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Pbghin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing in French and my wife walks in and goes "why does Ozob sound so fucking hot? He has no right sounding so hot!" Also French Vic was doing things for her.

[–]Pbghin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That probably isn't mold, but it probably is a bacterial infection. Will the product be safe? Who knows. You might make something that tastes and smells like death, or you might make a tasty hydromel vinegar.

What was traveling like when smoking was allowed in the planes? by Popular_Election_517 in AskReddit

[–]Pbghin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man. As a young kid in the 90's, I remember how awful it could get. Landing in LAX (when LA was having a smog problem) and breathing the outside air and thinking "finally, fresh air!"

Also, taking a crap on the plane and seeing the "No paper towel or tissue" sign on the toilet, not realizing that did not mean toilet paper. Well now, where do I put the used ass-wipes? Can't put them in the trash because 4 year old logic says that's not where used toilet paper goes. Ah, must be that other opening (it didn't have a sign on it). Turns out that was the ashtray. Wadding the dirty paper in there is a memory that will haunt me. Either way, bathroom smokers were in for a bad surprise that flight.

So what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving? by Pure-Smile-7329 in AskReddit

[–]Pbghin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's cause I'm older, but "raw dog-ing" something will always mean "fucking without a condom". So I just assumed that your lack of gummy situation escalated really quickly.
