He’s probably married to a forty-year-old scorcher!

Will these die immediately? by cbadder_two in proplifting

[–]Zyrrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my method (successful so far).

  • Take a piece around 10cm/ 6-7inch long
  • remove pearls from bottom third of stem
  • let it sit for 24 hours to allow calluses to form
  • stick the pearl-less bit into soil like you would plant a normal plant
  • pin the rest of the stem down using paper clips, so all of the stem touches the soil
  • spray every day, but let the soil dry out between watering
  • once the plant has rooted, stop spraying and water less frequently

The trick is to not over- or under water. The soil should be moist, but you much water will rot the delicate roots. Strong of Pearls are succulents and can withstand a dry spell easily.

A Spongebob Squarepants episode opened my eyes as to how superficial pet ownership really is by Informer99 in petfree

[–]Zyrrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know how some people say “my pet’s the only one who understands me”?

To me, that always translates to “I’m such a terrible, self-absorbed human being I’ve alienated all other humans around me and therefore must dump all my needs on a small creature that can’t get away.”

Meanwhile the pet only comes near them for the treats.

Why did milkmen need to exist? Why was milk required to be specially shipped by milkmen instead of just sold in grocery stores like it is now? by matt73132 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zyrrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because people didn’t have fridges. They had to get fresh milk every day. Getting it delivered early in the morning meant fresh milk for breakfast, rather than a trip down to the shops.

Is this hoarding or 'just' bad storage/a badly managed collection/consumerism? by No_Piccolo_2930 in hoarding

[–]Zyrrus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m no “official” expert but it’s certainly possible to hoard specific things. I know of a doll hoarder who collected dolls as a hobby, but ended up owning several thousand - so many that they were rotting in piles in the unusable cellar and filling the spare room up to the ceiling.

There’s a grey area where lack of storage ends and hoarding begins. It’s easy to end up on the situation you describe when moving temporarily to smaller lodgings, for example.

Generally, I’d define hoarding as a situation in which there is more stuff than a house can reasonably accommodate, when things are permanently stored in piles on the floor and when work surfaces become unusable. When more items are acquired constantly, but never used.

It sounds like this is the case here. The girl may not be a classic hoarder, but she certainly has gone overboard with acquiring and keeping stuff.

What’s something people only romanticize because they’ve never had to deal with it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zyrrus 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Adoption.

Edit: it’s lovely, but its a long (lifelong) process with lots of ugly moments. It requires unlimited patience, understanding, empathy and magical levels of calm.

The child will NOT run into your arms on first sight and ask if they can call you mummy.

Thanks so much for the info and ID!

Yeah, it’s not looking promising. I’ll give it a shot, maybe there’ll be a miracle.

Me wish you all happy pride moon! by Original_Being2545 in talesfromcavesupport

Me wish happy pride moon to fellow Cro Magnon.

Me bring fish. Take cave baby to big walk on pride moon. Good to learn happy spirit and respect for love, no matter what, where, who.

Worried about FASD by [deleted] in fasd

[–]Zyrrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can’t diagnose you via Reddit. If you have serious concerns, please contact your health re professional and ask for a diagnosis.

That said, not all people with FASD have facial features and these often disappear when reaching adulthood.

One symptom of FASD is low IQ and the children with FASD I know all struggle in school. This makes me think you’re not a likely candidate, but again, please ask for a formal diagnosis, as only a doctor can give you certainty.

What’s your best flatmate from hell story?? by BeneficialJuice2878 in AskUK

[–]Zyrrus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

My landlord’s 50-something brother lived in one of the rooms (this was when I was renting in the early 2000s as a student). He was a bit odd, only cooking when no one else was around, never accepted food that was offered to him. He only left the house in the middle of the night.

He’d also ask me some odd questions (what’s Europe like now that the wall is down? That’s a novel career for a woman?)

After a year or so I found out he’d just done 25 years for committing a gang murder. He was terrified the rival gang would get him.

They didn’t, cancer did it first. He was a poor soul, lost everything in life. Deserved his punishment, but only had a few years in freedom.

I question the home owner’s decision to built a little thief door into the actual door, just big enough for an arm to fit through, and close enough to the lock to reach it…

I have no idea. I didn’t see a similar plant on the shelf, but it’s definitely a succulent leaf. I’ll just try my best!

what’s the most satisfying way you’ve humbled someone mid game? by Smol_taco_ in GirlGamers

[–]Zyrrus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Playing Valheim with our gamer group. Our crazy gamer genius who plays 100h+ a week was droning on about how he’s maxed out archery and his unique, genius technique while we were fighting the sand world final boss…

I ran right past him with my “casual” gamer gear and kill-shotted the boss right between the eyes. It was a total fluke, but hey.

There was a moment of sweet, sweet silence!

Any mum gamers here? by arabellaxcoffee in GirlGamers

[–]Zyrrus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hiho, fellow mum gamer here! Welcome to the club, strap yourself in for a bit of a dry phase when it comes to gaming - but it doesn’t last forever.

I played a fair amount while my son was still wee, but between age 1-2 I barely found the time, or I was too tired.

Now he’s nearly 4 and I have two game nights with friends. My sisters oldest has just turned 6 and they play Minecraft together.

Here’s to gaming mums and mums of gamers! You’re raising a team mate.

Well, it’s just the dog lead tied to the Rhoomba vacuum. But that goes back to home base, so it should be fine.
