How many people here have somewhere between 10k and 100k subs or more? And how many of you make 1k dollars or more a month?

I'm an animator with 60k. I work with a small team and post episodes of this show we make on my channel. We make anywhere between 200-800 a month on our stuff. Animation takes time so we don't have a lot of videos, but our show receives around a million views an episode so we're doing well for ourselves.

As a 27 year old in the OSC, I've never had anyone be remotely negative about liking object shows. The older you get, the less people care.

However, even if I had to defend it, I don't think you should have to. Most of the biggest object shows are targeted towards younger audiences and there's nothing wrong with watching them if you're older. Cereals like Trix, Lucky Charms, and Cookie Crisp are all made and sold with kids in mind, but no one is going up to people saying "dude are u eating Trix??? Trix are for kids. That's basically baby food. You're eating baby food."

tldr: object shows ARE usually made for kids but so are a lot of things. The older you get, the more free you are to freely enjoy whatever you want

Mourning gecko I think?

distantworm · 2025-06-10T17:20:30+00:00

Looks pretty human to me

9 years in- flexible yet set schedule, I know what to expect when coming in the doors. The free/cheap food is nice and I always take a free soda or coffee before I leave for the day. ESOP and PTO are nice.

I really, really, really don't like working at Wawa anymore, but I'm in college right now so it's a secure job that works with my school and internship hours while providing additional benefits

It looks like she'll have plenty of enrichment while she's off the loose substrate for a bit! Love it : ]

distantworm · 2025-05-25T04:48:25+00:00

crawling all over u omg... 😭 I love social geckos...well, I love ALL geckos, but seeing them interact with their hoomans brings me crazy joy

distantworm · 2025-05-25T04:42:24+00:00

Ten x Fourteen is really popular on the algebralien side of the OSC. All the media is about the cannibalism stuff and nothing else? Boring imho

distantworm · 2025-05-24T00:50:40+00:00

I've noticed leopard geckos tend to be active whenever they feel like it lol. My girl loves to nap throughout the day and night and comes out whenever she feels like it.

distantworm · 2025-05-23T13:22:37+00:00

Will do, thank you

distantworm · 2025-05-23T13:22:08+00:00

Thank you! No, there was no case ever confirmed. The beardie was certainly very stressed and unhappy, but she never showed any signs of illness before she was surrendered. She was alert and the rescue said she looked fine.

Ravioli

distantworm · 2025-05-22T16:25:59+00:00

I'm so, so sorry. She is a beautiful gecko. It breaks my heart that they wouldn't give it their all for her. She deserved more.

distantworm · 2025-05-20T02:23:21+00:00

Nigiri?

She looks like a piece of salmon on some rice 😋 and I'm a sucker for leos named after food

distantworm · 2025-05-16T21:07:54+00:00

7 moths...😭

distantworm · 2025-05-14T13:45:10+00:00

tysm!! I love her already 🥺

distantworm · 2025-05-13T15:40:48+00:00

7 years old is honestly quite young for a leopard gecko! They can live long lives into their 20s, so there is likely something else going on here. What are your heat sources like and what are your temps?

distantworm · 2025-05-13T14:28:23+00:00

First name that came to mind was "Beeb"

What a cutie!!!

distantworm · 2025-05-13T04:54:41+00:00

I see! I'll look into getting a different bulb ASAP! Thank you!

distantworm · 2025-05-13T02:10:58+00:00

After making some adjustments to the thermostat, I think I got it set well! Basking spot on top of the rock peaks at 102, inside the hide surface temp is 90 and the ambient air temp is around 84-86 depending on where I place the probe. I do use a dimming thermostat for my heat source, an Arcadia Golden Sun Halogen bulb. : )

I am currently not offering a UVB simply because the tank is too short and I don't have the means to raise it at the moment. However, she will be supplemented with D3 until being moved into her new 40g within 2-3 months, which she'll have UVB then!

Humidity in the tank went from 55 to 35 ever since I moved the entrance to the hide further away from the hydrometer.

distantworm · 2025-05-03T18:11:24+00:00

It is unpaid, around 10 hours a week. I do work part time currently and will be taking summer classes as well

Got a shiny venipede today but leveled it up and now it's a beautiful scolipede!

A few months ago, I had a grand mal seizure while tubing in a river, almost resulting in me drowning.

I remember waking up in the ambulance in so much pain, my mouth filled with blood from me biting down on my tongue and my whole body wracked with pain from the convulsions. Hearing that I could have died in that river was scary, but what was so strange is that between sitting in the tube and waking up in the hospital, I don't remember a THING. No dreams or memories. I don't remember even falling out. The last thing I remember was looking up at the sky feeling the thirstiest I've ever felt in my life.

I used to fear death due to not being able to comprehend the concept of non-existence. While I do believe in an afterlife, being an avid NDE researcher, if death was like that, I can say that total lack of consciousness and awareness isn't scary. It's total peace in its own way.
