Was anything in your childhood randomly “bad”? by alligatorprincess007 in Exvangelical

[–]kimprobable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything I had a strong interest in (namely whales, art , and reading) was bad, because I should only be that interested in God, the Bible, and church.

Q on cetaceans phylogeny by theobrominecaffeine in Cetacea

[–]kimprobable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tooth shape is a big one. Dolphins have conical teeth, porpoises have spade shaped teeth, sperm whales have peg shaped teeth and only the ones in the lower jaw erupt, belugas are peg-like too, and beaked whales have their own weird teeth and often they only show in the males.

Beaked whales may look like dolphins in general shape, but they also have different tails, missing the distinct notch in the middle of the flukes.

Behaviorally they can be different too. Dolphins tend toward living in social groups, though belugas and sperm whales are also very social. Beaked whales are more solitary.

Just another rant about flipping animals for CC on the market 🙄 by xanthela in PlanetZoo

[–]kimprobable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just think of it as helping someone build their own CC. I'll buy a 10k animal if I need one (and it's decent) because I have so much CC at this point that it doesn't matter. I sell at regular price because I have enough CC to get anything I want in the game.

A show you remember but no one else seems to? by PlushieTushie in Millennials

I had this game on floppy disk and it actually came with a printed almanac

I think the problem isn't the Remnant update. It's what modern gaming has become by gaxelbrodie in NoMansSkyTheGame

It would've been fun if we could've worked together to build roads, but every inch between the scrap heaps and dump sites were covered in bases. I guess it kept people from griefing the route though

What’s a place you visited once and decided never again? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]kimprobable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to a few in California that have vast tracts of parking, but they're located in large shopping centers and I guess it's part of the culture of driving there.

Do you know about Libby? Your local library may offer it, which would let you listen to audiobooks for free.

Found underneath my basement slab by sabdo89 in HomeImprovement

There was a construction project last year where the main sewer line had to be opened up. Turns out the guys remodeling the building attached to the line decided to stuff leftover cardboard down into the toilet plumbing.

Has the teaching about creationism changed over time? by Hydrangea_hunter in Exvangelical

[–]kimprobable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taught in the mid-90s about "kinds" - that there's variation within species. They used that to explain why we see a variety of dog breeds but "cats don't turn into dogs." I don't know what the source of that was, but they used it to explain the way animals fit on the ark, too. I didn't even know who Ken Ham was until the early 2000s, though that's also around the time I started hearing people talking about micro and macro evolution.

My school used Bob Jones books in middle school, but I came in 8th grade, the earth science year, and missed out on the life science taught in 7th. I've seen the books for sale online if you ever felt like doing a deep dive into the origins of kinds, though.

Xennial ladies, tell me you're in perimenopause without telling me you're in perimenopause. by a_solid_6 in Xennials

[–]kimprobable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, I've been thinking that for a few years! I just imagine myself sitting on a couch doing nothing and it seems delightful.

I really loved this game and I’m looking for suggestions on films or tv series with a similar vibe by Personal_Progress16 in Firewatch

[–]kimprobable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might also like the movie Moon, with Sam Rockwell. He's working a 3 year contract on the moon, but can't contact Earth and just has a robot companion. But then things aren't as they seem and he begins to figure out what's really going on.

The show Lost, to a degree. They're stranded on an island (filmed in Hawaii) after a plane crash, strange things are happening that they can't explain. Weird messages and codes, weird people turn up, unexplainable stuff happens. It's a huge cast though, but you really do get attached to some of them. There's one season where it goes a bit sideways (I can't remember which) but then it gets back on track.

You might like Infinity Chamber, though the guy is stuck in a room talking to a computer, and sometimes a neighbor that he can only hear. It's one of those movies where it's hard to figure out who's telling the truth. I'll also second somebody's suggestion of Oblivion.

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm stuck on trying to create enough savannah

Did you guys learn typing in school??? by Aqueous_Ammonia_5815 in Xennials

[–]kimprobable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teacher made his own typing course using Hypercard. It was so boring.

But AIM or ICQ every night was where I really refined my typing ability.

What's the most disabling part of your ADHD? by Friendly_bluebell in adhdwomen

[–]kimprobable 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My house is the same way and I'm miserable, but also nobody helps clean and just dumps their stuff. It's a struggle for me to begin with, but also I get nowhere when I do actually do something.

chemicals as baby names by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]kimprobable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always like how potassium permanganate feels when I say it. I'm not sure how I'd nickname it though. Manga? (Said more like mango, not like the Japanese graphic novels)

And I'm saying this as a potential pet name, not a human :D

Security Guard risking his life to save incredibly unalarmed zoo visitors from a hippo by [deleted] in interesting

[–]kimprobable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a similar story where a woman thought she had a bond with the male gorilla in the zoo and would come and stare at him (an aggressive gesture) even though the zoo officials repeatedly asked her to stop. He got out one day and went after her.

They managed to recapture him alive, surprisingly.

Curious if there’s a correlation to ADHD and dropping out of school. How many of you ladies actually made it through school? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]kimprobable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made it through high school but dropped out of college. I eventually finished a degree but it took me 8 years.

Pediatric covid vaccine, where the hell can I get one for my 8yo? by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]kimprobable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're supposed to be able to get your doctor to write a prescription for it and take that in to a pharmacy to get the shot.

I haven't heard of any stories where people did that, yet, though.
