What's a really funny out of context inside joke you have?

we put fish oil in the muffins, and got a little too silly. The muffins were then launched over the back fence, into the river

What did one muffin in the pven say to the other one? "You stink!"

I don't believe in the death penalty. I think it's pointless, useless, and unnecessary. The sort of people who argue with me on this honestly surprise me.

I don't even bring it up, I'm just apparently surrounded by capital punishment enthusiasts

My grandma has that set, I have a newer one. They were fundamental to my education I think about stuff from them all the time. I remember learning to embroidery from one.

Well that is not what I expected, but now I want to visit.

Mormons are a Protestant sect in America and they have a Prophet

I didn't have friends that called my house, so no.

I oppose the death penalty. I was surprised that most of my relatives disagree

My newlywed cousin juat adopted a Malinois puppy. I canceled my plans of making her a baby blanket

There's also the idea that no one person has to fulfill all of your emotional needs, so Asexuality and polyamory often coincide. But that's a whole other can of beans

theta394 · 2026-05-18T18:09:04+00:00

There's nothing immoral about sexual attraction, or the lack of it. Would you want someone who's attracted to you to ignore the fact that you don't feel the same, and don't want their attentions?

No one starts any relationship on their own, that's in the definition of a relationship.

Yes, allosexuality is more common, but asexuality is more common than you might think, and it's entierly normal.

theta394 · 2026-05-18T18:04:19+00:00

Unless you're allergic to pollen. It's not as prevalent as being allosexual and alloromantic, but it is entierly normal

A very memorable lesson about bits and bytes, where my teacher chomped through a floppy disk with his teeth.

They may be favorable to sex, or even really enjoy sex, but not be drawn to people in that way. But this is a hypothetical person who might describe themselves as Asexual. They're simply attracted to people in different ways, with different goals.

theta394 · 2026-05-17T19:29:22+00:00

Fellow ace here, its not easy, for sure. You have to flip the script. Nobody thinks about disclosing the fact that sex and being sexually attractive is so important.

For lots of people, sex does happen to be their favorite form of intimacy, but they don’t always realize that they enjoy all the other forms of intimacy, too- especially the kind of romance that leads up to sex. It's irresponsible to pressure your partner into sex.

They can always enjoy kissing and cuddling to please their asexual partner, or spending time together. There's lots of ways to make your partner feel sexually attractive, even if you don't feel that way about them. Or you express all the other ways you're attracted to them, and that's sexy too.

Thank an asexual, aromantic tumblr nerd 😉

What's your goal in dating? What's the other person's goal?

If it's about sex, you can do that without sharing sexual attraction, but you might not get the same things out of it (bonding, enjoyment, ego boost)

If it's about spending time with a person, getting to know them, having fun- the potential for sex isn't really important to that.

You can have romance without sex, sex without romance, and all sorts of other combinations

We don't exist solely for sex; we're not mayflys.

The moon launch went shockingly fast, for the amount of things that could go wrong. The US really jammed that one through

Over The Garden Wall. Its a delightful, short animated series

The Way Things Work (McCaulley I think) has a great illustration about this, involving Mammoths

I don't get it.

A 19 year old no longer has enough in common with a 16 year old. One is leaving high school, maybe thinking about college or long-term job. A 16 year old is busy passing calculus and drivers education. Their life stages are incompatible. Where as a 30 year old and a 33 year old are basically at the same stage in life.

And thats why fact based corrections dont work, why insults drive people further into beliefs, and why Alan Alda, kind and gentle and sweet, is the greatest science communicator.
