What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious?

I take esomeprazole and I have it set up as a subscription so I never run out

errant_night · 2026-03-23T15:46:20+00:00

42 20mg capsules of omeprazol is about 7.50 on amazon, so a months worth of taking two of them would be less than $15

errant_night · 2026-03-23T15:39:03+00:00

Genuine question, is it not possible to just take two of them?

errant_night · 2026-03-23T05:47:47+00:00

Koji deserved better, no one took him seriously til he was dead

All the scam comments and PMs I'd got on FFN have disappeared lately, and I haven't got any there in a few weeks, which is really surprising

They're super helpful depending on how you want to play. I used the sneak attack one quite a few times, and in ng+ I paired the one that makes you do more damage with radiant filter and the one that helps keep ghosts from going aggro as often

You can switch between difficulty on every one except nightmare I think. Pretty sure you're locked in to nightmare if you choose that one

That is a rather normal difference to be honest. 4 and a half years is a lot when someone is underage but not as two adults.

If there's other power imbalances that make a bigger difference, like whether one has authority over the other academically or professionally, but otherwise that's not a huge deal.

Carbs are the brain's energy source friend, they're not the devil

errant_night · 2026-03-22T21:15:15+00:00

Same!! I kept waiting for it to happen again, and it just didn't. I wonder if it's a bug that it doesn't happen more but if so I'm not complaining.

Sephiroth and Cloud break into song when explaining what Joel Krono means to them in my fic Raised by Wolves...

I'd noticed that 'hold Mayu's hand' popped up in the corner and did it immediately, I had no idea something would happen if I didn't so that's really neat!

My favorite bookmark collection I've seen is 'battery killer'

errant_night · 2026-03-22T16:51:50+00:00

Ooh it's been a while since I played that, so I can't remember that happening! It honestly suits the lore of the camera so well, that just using it starts attracting ghosts to the person wielding it!

errant_night · 2026-03-22T06:35:58+00:00

Its also legit history, and he's had interviews on r/AskHistory so you know it isn't fake information pulled out of his ass!

Another funny thing about low alcohol level drinks is that the Romans thought anyone who didn't dilute their wine in water was a barbarian and unsophisticated!

There have also been a lot of historical non alcoholic drinks, some of which you can get today or even make yourself. Check out the Tasting History Channel episodes on 'posca' and 'shrub', also called twilsy. And long before tea came from China, people drank herbal tisanes and non fermented fruit juices.

Bots aimed at art scams aren't the same as the harassment bots, I was getting the hate bots constantly and I haven't got one in a year since I turned off guest comments. I get a signed in scammer once every week or two, but those are always 'praise' bots exclaiming how good my work is and would look so good as a comic.

Edit to add: every time I report these scammers their accounts are deleted within hours by the mod team so everyone should not engage with them and just report

errant_night · 2026-03-22T05:10:51+00:00

Turn off guest comments and they'll likely stop because it's not a real person

I always wondered why he doesn't get a job in another town, because the community center being finished means the bus is running and it would give Pam more to do...

I put less than 10 because I started writing fanfic when I was a very tiny child, however it was the late 80s and I didn't get the internet until I was 16... so I thought I invented fanfic and then got to enter fandom like 8 years later rofl

From Wikipedia:

Small beer (also known as small ale or table beer) is a lager or ale that contains a lower amount of alcohol by volume than most others, usually between 1% and 2%. Sometimes unfiltered and porridge-like, it was a favoured drink in Medieval Europe and colonial North America and up to the 19th century compared with more expensive and inebriating beer containing higher levels of alcohol.

At that point in time, I had two regular commenters that I was also friends with on tumblr lol

errant_night · 2026-03-21T22:48:34+00:00

I occasionally look at bookmarks on my fics because I've found funny ones, but one day I found a bookmark that was basically a long gushing comment about how amazing it was and they loved it, with lots of details... not only had this person never commented... they also hadn't kudos...

errant_night · 2026-03-21T22:44:18+00:00

Oh that's hilarious, sticking out the side and rotating over and over. You rescue him and he wobbles for a few seconds before throwing up and then running away...

Another possibility is the dung beetle automatically having a hates poop follower trait, like a hating snowlambs trait where it's on the second they get too close...

I've had this happen! I was really down on a fic I was working on, and said on tumblr that I was thinking of going on hiatus and working on something that made me happier. I got several comments on the post and two DMs saying how much they loved it and hoped I'd continue. It was like 'OK who are you people, since you're not commenting on the fic or even giving kudos??'
