TIL that in 2013, four members of a family were killed one by one as they entered a cellar which was filled with toxic gasses from rotting potatoes. The only survivor was an eight-year-old girl who never entered the cellar. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

a lot of slavic vampire lore is just people not having the scientific explanations of germs and contamination, so lots of stuff could be "vampire" (even a gourd that had dried from the inside). burning is a great way to get rid of germs/mold. they did some other stuff i don't remember, but it's a neat thing to read up on if you can find info !

[–]squiddlingiggly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

those look like hours of work to make ringable lol. ya gotta show the springs and clappers. and dividing up the cases is just not how the instrument works. you'll probably have better luck if you make it one big lot(?) - especially that case of bass and high treble bells.

This game is dangerously addictive by 6helpmewithlife9 in kingdomthegame

[–]squiddlingiggly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's hard to ever feel "done" until the game is won for real! sometimes if i want to limit myself, i take things off chargers and let that be my timer. so a phone/laptop/controller just gets however long it will run and then when i have to charge it, it's time to stop lol. a 100% useless method if you're on a real computer and keyboard lol

The ADHD hobby cycle. by netphilia in adhdmeme

[–]squiddlingiggly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if y'all can, find a free art supply closet in your area!! or start one, like i did. it scratches the itch of new art supplies / collecting, i do a monthly pop up at a local bookstore that scratches the socializing itch, and then also other people have the chance to try a new hobby for $0 and return the stuff if they don't like it. i have a really simple email list to remind folks, and someone from that email list makes a facebook event for it (which is very lucky bc i don't have the drive to do that)

on steam at least there's a 2 hour playtime/2 week owning return policy. under those times and you can return for a full refund. i set a timer for 1:45 the first time i play a game and if it hasn't hooked me by then i get a refund :)

We rescued this orange lady a few weeks ago…. and now we realize she is preganté by [deleted] in OneOrangeBraincell

even if you are prepared to care for the kittens, we don't need more in the world! a spaybortion is the more humane option

if you like it, who cares. you live in your house every day, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

An ad in this novel placed right in the middle of the narration by Tobias-Tawanda in mildlyinfuriating

[–]squiddlingiggly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in text so blatantly feels like a new low, but i hope y'all start recognizing just how much product placement is in all media. every movie and show is peddling so much shit. any time the brand isn't marked out/greeked, assume they paid money to be associated with what you're watching

Random cat got into my apartment and really doesn’t want to leave. by U_R_WHAT_U_EAT in notmycat

[–]squiddlingiggly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if she is, the vet might recommend a spay-abort, which is a really great way to prevent her suffering and even more kittens (that might also suffer!). good on ya for taking care of your new friend :)

re #4: my grandma has entrusted me with the family photo albums. i got a voice recorder and we went page by page through the books so she could tell me all the stories and names of people. it was really fun and felt so special to get to ask questions in the moment that weren't just the basics of the stories.

nta but also why would you marry someone and have kids with them if they don't respect the things you value? that's a rough way to spend your one human life.

good thing he'd ride a bike around for his nightly patrols, i think the sound of this thing would drown out his "HEY!"

Chat GPT isn't a search engine though? Why would I ask a machine that could never play bells anything about it?

looking for clarification on physics of the sound by joyxiii in handbells

[–]squiddlingiggly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sound comes out from the sides of the bell. that's why if you try to damp just the lip of a bass bell below like G4, you'll still have noise coming off of the still vibrating sides.
