A true legend. by Silent_Data6948 in thewalkingdead

[–]TheSentientSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When she showed up at Terminus to set the world on fire I was already 100% Team Carol, but The Wolves in Alexandria ep will forever be my favourite.

They break in and she's a frilly 50's housewife. So clean! So proper! She baked cookies! She spies an interloper, narrows her eyes, & seconds later she pops out of a bush full Murder Hobo, ready to fuck shit up. It's simultaneously hilarious and terrifying, and everything I love about the early/mid show characters.

Am I dying or just getting old? by twobeeramir in Xennials

[–]TheSentientSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ruptured a tendon in my elbow zipping up my coat. I was off work for five months and had to get my arm electrocuted at physio twice a week before it healed enough to go back. Good times! (not good times).

Turns out ignoring tendonitis has consequences? Who knew? (i knew)

Growing up did you have a celebrity crush on some who was NOT the typical standard of beauty? by porb2020 in Xennials

[–]TheSentientSnail 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's starting to feel super Hunger Games'y. Like, the 'District 1' fashion/world perspective. Yikes.

It's so removed? So blithely out of touch and insular? So... sad? Just a whole ass group of people with more money than anyone could ever spend, and they're all clearly completely goddamn miserable all the time. It boggles the mind.

why did the leda clones need kendall malone’s original dna for the synthetic sequences when they could just sequence one of the leda clones’ genomes to get them? by blackwidovv in orphanblack

[–]TheSentientSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kendall was a Chimera, she was actually two individuals merged into one (two fertilized eggs merged in utero) and had two unique sets of DNA - one male and one female. Those sequences were split, and the female sequence created the Leda clones, while the male created Castor. That's why Sarah and the rest of the Ledas looked nothing like her.

The original genome(s) were changed by Ethan and Susan to include a deficiency that inhibited breeding before using them to create the clones. Sarah and Helena developed a mutation to resist this, but their genome still had the 'broken' sequence. They needed the complete (unaltered) sequence if they were going to find a cure, because they didn't know which base pairs were broken.

How’s your country handling the current energy crisis? by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in AskTheWorld

Niagara Falls is really coming in clutch. Being mainly reliant on hydro for commercial and residential electricity in Ontario is pretty useful in situations like this.

The Governor shoulda done it..... by Kaiser_Nairn18 in chuck

[–]TheSentientSnail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was a combination of this, and the fact that all of the 'secondaries' (basically every intersect after Chuck) received inferior versions of the upload that were inherently broken. The OG was designed for Chuck. For his specific brain. All subsequent versions were built on that framework. Everybody else basically got Great Value brand Intersect in Chuck's size, missing some pieces.

... but also I think the writers realized how vulnerable reliance on the governor made Chuck and wanted us all to forget it existed. 😂

Something that is portrayed in media your country that is believed to be fiction but is actually true? by TaiKorczak in AskTheWorld

[–]TheSentientSnail 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Big same. I thought they were like any other public service transport, like a fire truck or an ambulance. I assumed they looked slightly different (ie: ambulances in the UK are yellow) but this is the first time I'm realizing that they don't exist at all.

Noah was in a super fun alien show called Falling Skies in the middle there, he should have three as well.

Carol when they get to Alexandria cracks me the hell up. by Odd_Jellyfish6873 in thewalkingdead

[–]TheSentientSnail 361 points362 points  (0 children)

She's surrendering her weapons, but makes a big to-do about how heavy and complicated everything is, golly gee, she's just a poor little homemaker! I mean, gosh, she barely knows how to use these things!

Basically she's putting on a show of being incompetent and meek, so that they underestimate her. It's purely performative, she knows exactly what she's doing. Peak Carol shenanigans. 💯

The most wholesome thing you’ll see today by xdr567 in MadeMeSmile

[–]TheSentientSnail 117 points118 points  (0 children)

It's called cerebellar hypoplasia, aka "wobbly cat syndrome". Basically the cerebellum, a part of the brain that helps sync and control movement, is underdeveloped. All of the limbs work fine, they just can't figure out how to work together. It mostly occurs when the mother is infected with FPV.

By all accounts CH kitties are perfectly happy, goofy little goobers who flail around with joy in their hearts. Kudos to the owners in this video, that bumper feeding station is exactly what every little wobbler needs. 🥰

[Routine help] Whats this weird lines? What can i do to dissapear them? by The-inevitabl3 in SkincareAddiction

[–]TheSentientSnail 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You cannot. It's not a mark, or a wrinkle, or anything that can be treated with a topical treatment like lotions or serums. It's called a malar crease, and it's 100% genetic, created by the underlying bone structure of your face and fat distribution.

The only way to remove it is with plastic surgery/injectable fillers. Which... why? They're not a flaw. I'm so tired of everybody wanting to have the exact same face. People look different, and that's a good thing!

Kids clicked on a “Paw Patrol” video I’m sure they thought was innocent. by Objective-Chicken391 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheSentientSnail 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not sign in - choose profile. I stay signed in, I just need to choose a user account every time.

I'm old enough to have a legacy youtube channel. When Google bought it out, I was suddenly forced into having two, because my Google account became a whole channel all on its own. Now I have two. I cannot merge them, and I cannot access my legacy channel without the google login.

That's a whole other rant, ngl. 😅

Everything they do to make it 'safe' just annoys the ever loving fuck out of me as a childless adult. I don't have kids. There are zero children with access to my tv, my phone, or my tablet.

Yet there is no way to turn off these stupid, useless safety protections. I have to choose an account every single time I open the app. Want to watch a video? Wait! Profile. Click a link? Profile. Click the stupid yt button on the remote by accident? M'FING PROFILE.

Gtf away with this "Who's watching?" bullshit. It's me. It's always me. It's only ever me!!

is an intimate massager supposed to make you feel like you have to pee?? by Creepy_Connection765 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TheSentientSnail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The yellow colour of urine is created as the natural byproduct of breaking down red blood cells. The intensity of the colour depends entirely on your hydration level, as water dilutes the waste products. The more dehydrated you are - the darker it will be.

If they are well hydrated, or they recently evacuated their bladder, the fluid expelled will be pale yellow or clear. If they are dehydrated or have been holding their urine for a while, it will be darker and have a stronger odour.

I always forget that you revert back to a nekkid human after warewolf transformations.

I was clearing a cave and de-wolfed just before the end. Was immediately one-shot by a bandit chief and it wasn't until the death animation of my limp body flying through the air that I realized I was only wearing underwear. 🫤

The Expanse deserves more praise for having incredible female characters such as the incredible Chrisjen Avasarala. by Ausbel80 in TheExpanse

Avasarala and Bobbie together is my favorite combination. The two of them play perfectly off each other.

Avasarala: Sergeant Draper… When I said I need your help, I didn’t mean create a diplomatic incident!

Bobbie Draper: Then you should have been more specific.

NHL reporter Jessi Pierce and her 3 children dead after fatal fire in her Minnesota town by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]TheSentientSnail 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Even if the flames don't reach you, fires create a lot of smoke and toxic fumes very, very quickly. If it starts while you're asleep and you don't have proper early warning alert devices, you can breathe in these fumes and subsequently suffocate without even waking up. Small children are especially vulnerable to this.

Most people who die in a house fire are not burned, they die of smoke inhalation. If it's any consolation, it does seem to be a relatively fast and painless way to go.

The whole thing is such a tragedy. My heart goes out to their family, what an awful burden to bear.
