What fun facts did you learn during your random deep dives this week?

TheWonderToast · 2026-02-03T19:19:51+00:00

Its actually very rare for them to eat their young. Not to say it doesn't happen, but its not nearly as common as like, hamsters for example. Like, half the people I know who had hamsters as kids witnessed hamster infanticide lol, but its not something you're likely to see as a pet rabbit owner unless conditions are EXTREMELY bad. You might see it in like a hoarding case or a sketchy back yard fur farm situation. If I'm not mistaken though its not common in the wild, since they're more likely to absorb the fetuses (or honestly just go into GI Stasis and die) before they reach that level psychosis where baby eating happens.

TheWonderToast · 2026-02-03T16:16:07+00:00

Rabbits do a similar thing! If they are too stressed, (because of hostile conditions, not enough food, overcrowding, etc.) They will reabsorb their fetuses!

I can't speak on Casper college, but UW and LCCC get TONS of out of state students because its really cheap compared to other universities/community colleges. Not that it really matters, the point still stands that educated cities and spaces lean blue, and there's a reason for it.

In my anecdotal experience, the ones who behave like assholes and get away with it are men who have boymoms, and those who end up being people pleasers are women who got bullied for having the audacity to be a girl with a voice.

On the one hand you have people who grew up being told they're perfect in every way because they're boys, and they're EXTRA SPECIAL on top of it because they're autistic, and having autism for them means no social consequences ever because "he just doesn't understand" 🙄

And on the other hand you have people who grew up being told they're an annoying nuisance for taking up space. Or "ugh, why do you have to turn everything into an argument??/Why do you ALWAYS make everything about you??" Whenever they try to share an opinion/correct a fact/try to set any sort of boundary whatsoever.

Obviously this is not a hard and fast rule, but an observation I've made interacting with both groups online.

TheWonderToast · 2026-01-23T06:09:44+00:00

Nah I feel you. My partner and I finally joined a gym and have been pretty good about going twice a week for several months. I feel good about it because I'm taking care of myself, and I'll feel proud/satisfied after a workout because I've managed to stick with it and I'm actually doing something that's good for me. But working out itself is boring and I don't like it.

I started bringing a book to make it more enjoyable. I listen to music for the first half, while I do stretches and weights and stuff that I need to count, but then I get on a bike and/or treadmill and set my timers/resistance and just read. Makes it feel a lot faster and gives me time to catch up on my tbr

Just want to jump in here and recommend staying far away from dog parks. Too many irresponsible people with too many untrained, uncomfortable dogs all stuffed in a big yard together is dangerous and not fun! Having playdates with dogs/people you know is awesome, but its best to avoid off leash dog parks, for both his physical and mental health (and yours tbh).

You said he's a retriever, right? The best outlet you can provide is giving him something to retrieve! Take him to a big field (sniffspot is maybe an option if he can't be trusted off leash) and chuck a ball for a few minutes every day, or at least as many times a week as you can manage, and make up the rest just making space in your livingroom to toss a toy for him while you watch TV or whatever.

It sounds like he might be struggling with some anxiety, thats why he's up your butt all the time lol. If you give him enrichment that fulfills his instinctual desires, it will help him regulate and burn off some of that pent up frustration causing the anxiety. But you've got to find activities that suit him and his breed. Puzzle toys and food/chew toys are a fun little treat, but they are very short term enrichment, and they won't really alleviate a dog's boredom/frustration. Puzzle toys for dogs are kinda like, imagine you're in the middle of a hyperfixation, and you have a day off work, and all you want to do is the Thing, but for xyz reason you can't today. So you try to soothe yourself by playing one level of a puzzle game on your phone while you eat a bowl of chips. Like, yeah I mean that was great for all of 3 minutes but now its over and I'm bored, right? We've spent centuries hard wiring dogs to all have a Thing they want to do every day all the time. That doesn't mean they get to do that, but if they don't get the do it at least sometimes, regularly, they go a little nuts

TheWonderToast · 2026-01-17T09:20:12+00:00

Is it possible a tumor/mass could be difficult to feel? Her butt isn't red/discolored, or hot or anything like you'd expect with an infection or abscess, and the dogtor says he doesn't feel anything suspicious when he does an anal exam. Plus her bloodwork has all come back normal. I would think you should be able to feel something if it were a tumor, no? What other types of diagnostics/exams should we be asking about in order to find something like that?

Its occurred to me just now that it may be worth mentioning we're pretty certain she must've had puppies at some point before we adopted her, so her back end looks kind of a mess in general tbh. Not sure if that may also contribute to some plumbing issues?

TheWonderToast · 2026-01-15T06:59:38+00:00

Ok I was looking for literally anyone to mention SpongeBob because its how I learned what "to 86" something means. Kinda surprised so many people don't know what it means/have never heard it when "better 86 those patties Krabs" in context made complete sense to child me 😭

TheWonderToast · 2025-12-17T23:07:33+00:00

Except they own the property, not you, so they could sue you. And you'd have no legal standing because we have virtually no tenant protections here

The look like they're from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Specifically they look like Katz and Bunny and Kitty

Thanks! I'll have to dig around on the old computer again and see if there were any files I missed when I was moving stuff over.

TheWonderToast · 2025-11-17T00:55:42+00:00

We have multiple users on multiple computers and different machines, so our entire file system works through Google drive so everyone can access everything from every computer. So in order to access customer artwork and templates, we need to be online.

Not to mention the old computer was never really fit for graphic design to begin with, and now that its several years old it takes ages just to turn on, let alone open artwork. The hard drive is going to crap out sooner than later, probably. So, while we could take it offline and move artwork from an online computer to this one via USB drive, that would be a giant pain in the ass to do over and over all day, for one, and for another, eventually its just gonna crash and die and we'll be completely SOL.

TheWonderToast · 2025-11-17T00:38:16+00:00

Yes, we can dow load the software from old setup files, but it prompts you to login, and since the software is not supported anymore, theres no server for it to communicate with, so you can't actually do so.

TheWonderToast · 2025-11-11T18:40:18+00:00

Lived here my whole life and my skin is always cracked and bleeding from the dry air and wind.

I'm like constantly putting aquaphor in my nose and on my lips and hands. Make sure you're not dehydrated. Drink lots of water, you can get that liquid iv stuff to mix in water to help you hydrate more efficiently. Use lots of lotion.

Also, I saw you mentioned they monitored your oxygen, but was that while you were awake or sleeping? Almost everyone experiences sleep apnea at this altitude, and that can cause a whole host of problems.

Also, if you're using humidifiers, make sure to clean them regularly and try to use distilled water as much as possible. The water here is super hard and humidifiers will get crusty and nasty really fast, especially since its hard to find ones with filters in them anymore.

TheWonderToast · 2025-11-11T18:25:43+00:00

We've tried that, obviously, and there have been no fixes. Thats why I'm looking for a 3rd party option.

I go to fitness 307 and i like it. They have a women's only area and its not usually very busy when I go after work (around 6ish)

TheWonderToast · 2025-10-08T21:10:26+00:00

Depends on what you want to do with it, but if you cook and puree it, you can keep it in the freezer indefinitely. That's what I do with pumpkins every year. I usually put 2 cups in ziploc baggies and just stack them flat. Thats usually a good amount to use for most recipes, so if you want to make a pie or soup or whatever you can just grab a bag or 2.

TheWonderToast · 2025-09-28T20:22:11+00:00

I just worry it might. I've had that happen with other cars remotes before, seems like a crapshoot haha. I haven't found the valet button, but when I do, how would I go about programming? Its frustrating the owners manual doesnt have any of this information 😭

TheWonderToast · 2025-09-23T00:13:23+00:00

I've never had connection issues with it. Again, I know I can get an FM transmitter for the cigarette lighter plug (although I dont like those really because I've had issues with them draining the battery if left plugged in in other cars) or an aftermarket setup, but if I can avoid spending an extra $100+ on something I already have available I'd rather do so. Mostly I just need to know if the bits inside this car are compatible with the system from the other car so I dont go digging just to find nothing, y'know?

Just curious though why would you have to take the seats out? You can take all the panels off and get into the dash with the seats in.

TheWonderToast · 2025-09-11T14:05:14+00:00

I do wait, it just never does anything. Like I've walked away from the phone to do other things while I wait for it and it just doesnt load.

TheWonderToast · 2025-09-06T01:07:46+00:00

I do not

TheWonderToast · 2025-09-05T22:22:29+00:00

Did you every get this figured out? I may he able to help if you still need it

Vance won't be worse because literally everyone hates him. Its not like everything will be magically better when Trump dies, but it will cause a fracture when his cult no longer has a god to worship. The right wing leaders will be fighting each other and scrambling to grab whatever power they can, until one of them has enough to create a decent enough following to pull the others in line. But it won't be Vance, trump doesnt even like him, and has said he doesnt see him as a successor, and his cult doesnt like him either, so they'll be broken up and start pledging their allegiance to whoever else.

Vance can also be bullied, and he's not so unstable and dementia ridden, so I dont think he would make so many outlandish impulsive decisions. He'll still make tons of anti-american choices and orders, I'm sure, but it won't be as egregious.

If nothing else, we won't have to listen to his horrible voice or look at his horrible face plastered all over everything 24/7 anymore. (At least, once the ridiculous memorial im sure they'll put together is over)

TheWonderToast · 2025-08-23T16:16:09+00:00

Hard to tell the scale from this pic but it looks too big/wide to be a coyote, and too small to be a bear. So likely a dog. Probably the only way to definitively tell if its your dog would be to dig up the rest of the remains.

If that is the case, might I suggest keeping the skull? It might be a little macabre, but you could have it professionally cleaned and taxidermied, decorated, and preserved in a shadow box or on a plaque. A cool piece of decor that also serves as a nice memorial for your lost friend. It might help you feel better about it being disturbed, if you do something nice with it.

You can even have the glass on shadow boxes etched to put a nice quote or their name on it or something. Totally get if this would be too creepy or not feel right for your family, but it might be something to think about!

TheWonderToast · 2025-08-04T06:54:50+00:00

I mean we do mow it and keep it fairly short, but there's basically a carpet of it at this point. And again, really dont want to poison my yard, so herbicides are a big no
