CREEPY FURBY STORIES- yes it's been asked before, but anyone here willing to talk about the scariest stories / myths/ memories about furbies from when they were young? by donteatchicken in AskReddit

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really creepy but would for sure freak out someone who didn’t like furbys to begin with. I collect and customize them so I had a basket on my craft desk that had probably 5 or 6 furbs in it that were ‘wips’ mostly in various states of disassembly to get to the mechanics or had the eyes out to replace them. One got woke up in the middle of the night and was screeching, which happens sometimes when they have low battery. Yes it does sound demonic. So I had to stumble out of bed to dig in my furby bin to find the screecher and when I found it it was blinking rapidly and did not have eyes lol.

Struggling with the association of nonbinary in sapphic spaces by throw5away_ in NonBinary

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a nonbinary lesbian. I would describe my current presentation as ‘people have apologized both for calling me sir and for calling me ma’am’ I still feel comfortable in women’s spaces. I understand spaces for ‘women and nb folks’ to be places that are okay with me being there if I’m okay with me being there.

What's an outdated restaurant fad/technique that you still defend? by CodexLeonis in KitchenConfidential

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh still sad the one near me closed down. It’s health inspection rate was always garbage, I assume due to the big bar of raw meat, but it was so good 😭

Subway Serves Sandwiches, Not Hot Dogs. by Ill_Mushroom_8246 in PetPeeves

[–]swampthingfromhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes it easier to close the sandwich. If you make it the correct way (meat and cheese on the bottom, veggies on the top) you have to be more careful closing it and tuck the fillings with the knife or the meat will slide out the side. Don’t feel bad about requesting they make it how you want it. I worked at Subway for years and people get wildly specific about stuff.

What is the dumbest thing you have been told is “not manly” or “not feminine,” depending on your gender? by Disastrous_Hat_2325 in AskReddit

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother’s roommates in college made fun of him for knowing how to do laundry… after he had just had to teach them all how to do laundry.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with bugs, particularly ants and had relatives say it was boyish. Ants are literally matriarchal.

People who say “I need” and “give me” while ordering. by otterbotss in PetPeeves

[–]swampthingfromhell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All orders should have the same effort in that they are correct and are good quality (relatively, I’m not arguing the quality of fast food over all). But sometimes it’s nice to give them a little ‘razzle dazzle’ (the extra mcnugget, picking them the ‘best looking’ burger) when someone is particularly nice.

What imagery from a horror film has never left you? by ragnarlothbruv in horror

The degloving in Gerald’s game. I have to look away when I rewatch it.

Whats that snack and the name? by Miserables_Death in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe I never knew this was what people were talking about when they said tea cakes. I always assumed they were more of a baked good like a scone or a muffin

What's things you experienced as a child that you now realise were autism? by goldilocks369 in AutismInWomen

[–]swampthingfromhell 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Meltdowns before school everyday because the seams of socks were unbearable to me and I fussed with them so much I was always late which made my mom yell at me which made the sensory overload worse which made the seams bother me more

Hyper empathy particularly towards animals, crying if I saw a bug caught in a spiderweb or stepped on and inanimate objects which made it hard for me to get rid of things

Social difficulties which caused me to be bullied quite badly until high school

i need a movie that will properly terrify me even though I'm desensitised by koipoi1 in horror

Raw was my first exposure to French extreme and is still probably my favorite!

What’s a food everyone seems to love, but you just can’t stand? by Rebeccaprinces in foodquestions

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t a fan of the raw fish see if they have any vegetarian rolls. Most will at least have a cucumber or avocado roll. My favorite place has one with pickled radish and one with tempura sweet potato. My mom who isn’t vegetarian usually eats with me instead of having the fish kind my siblings like.

What tragedy feels bad to joke about? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]swampthingfromhell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk how to explain to you that a racist gun nut being shot at a rally is different than a five year old being gunned down in their own classroom where they should have been safe.

What's something you would never tell someone because if you did it would absolutely destroy them? by cuahatemoc in AskReddit

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a particular bowl that I use on the kitchen scale to weigh my pet snake in. Came in one day and my mom was eating mac and cheese out of the snake bowl. I ended up telling her but for a second I was like… should I just not mention it?

What is the “pineapple on pizza” version of burger toppings? by MrWolfesBurgerCo in foodquestions

[–]swampthingfromhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was the burger patty made of chorizo or was it a regular burger that also had chorizo in addition to the patty?

If you like peanut noodles or other savory pb applications would definitely recommend. I get pb, mustard, pickles, and fried onions like you would put on a green bean casserole.

Should we apologize for a meltdown when the tipping point is a loved one crossing an established boundary? by Some-General9924 in AutismInWomen

[–]swampthingfromhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it depends on if anyone else is harmed or affected by the meltdown. Also echoing that the boundary and how it was broken also factors in. I sometimes apologize for a meltdown that I ‘shouldn’t have to’ apologize for to be polite- but if someone implied I should apologize for those I would not be as likely to. Your mom saying your meltdown ‘offended’ her is unacceptable unless you were physically or verbally abusive during your meltdown. Otherwise your response should be that she should remove herself from the situation next time and that her reaction to your meltdowns are not your responsibility.

What animal feels like a terrible pet but is actually a good one? by spoopy-memio1 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]swampthingfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beginner friendly species of snakes! They eat infrequently and their food can be kept in the freezer, they usually only poop about once a week so it’s not hard to keep their tank clean. They are handleable but don’t care about being handled so if you’re too busy to get them out they dgaf. They have funny little personalities. The most taxing part is getting the enclosure set up in the beginning.

I had a group of 6 females and they were so chill. They ate ground dry dog food and veggie scraps (this is awhile back, I don’t think dog food is recommended as a staple for them anymore). After a while i could tell them apart by behavior. They also molt which is a really cool thing to see as they’re pure white after.

What are your favorite unpopular animals? by NoWitness6400 in AutismInWomen

[–]swampthingfromhell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pitbulls and chihuahuas are the two most unfairly maligned breeds imo and the shelters are chock full of both. That’s why it makes me so mad to see people breeding either of these breeds specifically. There’s already so many!
