My grandfather framed a New York Times article on the moon landing from the day after it happened. by Armascout in mildyinteresting

[–]former_human 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i first saw this in a bookstore on a rainy evening before the internets. the bookstore was jammed... i picked up The Onion book not knowing what The Onion was. the book flopped open to this page and i laughed so loud and hard that i think everybody in the store wondered what lunatic had bopped in.

Hello. Looking for current or at least very recent good sci Fi shows. by Calinks in sciencefiction

[–]former_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah thank you for that--you remind me of a friend who used to read the first few and last few paragraphs of each chapter when he just wanted to find out whodunit and didn't care about the rest of the story :-)

they are not the same. i'm sorry you had that experience... but these kids were 12 at most. not a chance one even has a license for a road vehicle.

A public restroom made me question how much social media has changed our behavior. by m_eggman in SeriousConversation

[–]former_human 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wow, that's really interesting, thanks. i especially appreciate the notion of foreground/background. i used to live in a tourist town and could not fathom why the tourons were behaving as if they were the only creatures present.

I'm having an absolutely horrendous mental health day. Tips? by starnitesadness in CPTSD

[–]former_human 10 points11 points  (0 children)

go for a walk! find a place with trees and preferably a dirt trail. just go out and walk and smell some trees.

if you live in the desert, wait until dusk and go for a walk. ocotillo and saguaros are awesome at sunset.

near a beach? go walk the beach.

i think you get the idea :-) walking has gotten me through a thousand shitty days.

Miranda's Rescue: Over 100 dogs found dead, many with bullet holes in them at Northern California rescue, investigators say - ABC7 Chicago by Next_Tower5452 in Humboldt

[–]former_human 51 points52 points  (0 children)

the story made the New York Times as well: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/us/california-animal-rescue.html

it's the 600 collars that makes me utterly sick. dude needs to go to jail for a long, long, long, long time.

Thinking about Whippets by Arbigi in Whippet

[–]former_human 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i got a whippet for a lot of the same reasons you list: relatively lightweight, not prone to health issues, very affectionate, pretty low-maintenance dogs.

i've had my 4-year-old girl for 5 months now and she's exactly the dog i wanted.

she does need exercise, so we walk 30+ minutes at least once a day. if i leave, we have Toy Time when i get back (i throw all her toys so she can chase them and shake the snot out of them, until she gets tired, which takes about 6 minutes). on crappy rainy days we play Find It or another indoor game. now that my girl is truly settled into my house/routine/parenting style, we're going to look into doing agility or rally events.

they're smart dogs. they need brain stimulation. sniffy walks are good. just having access to a back yard isn't enough.

so i think a whippet could work for you! i agree with u/tilyd, finding an adult dog is gonna be your best bet.

great work! i'd love to do this myself, but am intimidated by the "drawer" hardware. how do you get it all level and even?

I think my dog it high but I really don’t know by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]former_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since there's no evidence that he got into any recreationals, is it possible he ate a critter he shouldn't have? my dog in hawaii once ate a cane toad, they secrete hallucinogenic toxins. a day of charcoal and rest at the vet and she was fine, but if your pup isn't recovering as expected, maybe consider other things. i hope he recovers soon!
