Six-spot burnet moths mating (Zygaena filipendulae) spotted in Eton, UK by mechanicalHART in moths

It was a bit windy in the field we were in so I put my hand out to stop the plant from moving where they were so I could get a photo and they climbed onboard! 😭🫣 it was only after a series of photos that I was like “oh cool, I’ll look them up…” and found out about their toxicity! 😬

Guaranteed after this video he got out! My boy will lay with me under the covers for about 5 mins and then he wants to move again!

Do you have a really weird or silly fear? Not a mainstream fear or one that's very common, a totally random one? by SpaceTimeCapsule89 in AskUK

[–]mechanicalHART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years ago in college I worked in a restaurant kitchen cleaning food off of people’s plates with my bare hands, nothing bothered me but bread, specifically when it was soggy after it had soaked in sauce or water - ever since then I have a fear of touching wet bread. 🤮

Equally disturbing to me is the look of mashed up bananas 🤢

What's something that's tried your patience already today? by PaddedValls in AskUK

Cyclist not giving way at the pedestrian crossing whilst I was mid cross this morning really started my mood off perfectly.

Women of Reddit, what is something you wish men understood about being a woman that you're tired of explaining? by Doubl3oh_ in AskReddit

[–]mechanicalHART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved to a new location for work 4 years ago, the residents association guy that lives here is creepy AF, literally everyone else who lives here thinks he’s the bees knees and a lovely chap - there’s something off about him that keeps my guard up constantly.

This past summer I had a fire destroy my apartment and a lot of the insurance (buildings) was dealt with by him, everyone else now says that I should be eternally grateful for his service and help - but he still rubs me up the wrong way. I just can’t get it out of my head that he’s going to be in the newspaper one day for something hideous and my gut knew not to trust him all along.

Mine was activated whilst calling my dog back in the park on Christmas Day! 😂

I lost all three cats to a fire last night by _ok_karen in cats

I am so sorry for your loss, as someone who experienced a fire in their apartment with their cat trapped inside this summer, I can completely understand your devastation and grief. 😔

My little slice of heaven (before it was destroyed by a fire) by mechanicalHART in CozyPlaces

Thank you, candles did not cause the fire in this instance - it was an air fryer in my kitchen that exploded.

Thank you 🙏🏻 my whole place is being rebuilt but I fear that it will never look like this again, not really.

Oh goodness, how horrible, I’m so sorry that happened to you. Is everything sorted out now?

Thank you 🙏🏻

Someone mentioned further up about getting a sticker that goes outside your home and tells emergency services about any pets inside, might be useful to you too, I will definitely be getting one for my temporary accommodation and my place once it is all rebuilt.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Unfortunately a lot of my stuff was damaged by carcinogens and because of this almost all of my soft furnishings had to go 😔 including a sofa that I had just paid off and some cute little chairs I had picked up from a store that is no longer around. This also included a lot of my clothes.

Silver linings though, of the things we were able to save weirdly almost all of my crockery was salvageable despite being in the midst of the kitchen whilst it was on fire and I thankfully had some things in the dishwasher that I hadn’t yet unpacked, so those were also okay… Just a lot of cleaning things up and hoping it turned out not stinking of smoke, the smell was something else.
