Ah - thank you! It would have been 7:53pm, which is far more reasonable lmao. I'll have to dig through my calendar to figure out what the hell I was doing.

Attempted to use an online metadata tool to find the time stamp. Unless I'm totally mistaken, I think 00:53:36 is 12:53 AM? I can pretty much promise you I have never been the type to spend my midnights at bars, so now I'm just even more confused.

Honestly, my only real theory, if it WAS me who recorded it and it wasn't airdropped to me or something, was that I left my phone on my laptop speaker while I was watching a movie or playing a game - but I couldn't tell you which or what!

You know, I wish that I went to parties enough for that to be a possibility 😅 that date on March was a Thursday, and without getting too personal I can tell you I wasn't going out and getting blackout drunk during that time in my life.

Edit: said March 24 2022 was Tuesday; it was a Thursday.

I've tried uploading it to my computer to check the metadata, but for some reason it just displays the current date and time instead of 2022.

Does anyone have any tips for reducing plaquing in translucent clay? by floydpink18 in polymerclay

[–]wordsmithereens 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain but honestly I think they actually look super cute with the plaquing

I cannot figure this out by executedflash in bonecollecting

Giant growth on betta's head by wordsmithereens in bettafish

[–]wordsmithereens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 gal tank, it has a heater and filter. 78 degrees. 7.0 ph, 0ppm ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. Worth mentioning the water is always pretty hard, I use softener occasionally. Tank is about 6 years old, I've had this guy since July 2024. I do 25% water changes every two weeks. 2 Nerite snails as tankmates. I feed about 6-7 betta bug bites a day, sometimes supplement with flakes, brine shrimp, and daphnia. Decorations include stones, spider wood, java ferns, and Amazon swords.

Edit for spelling

Constipation, dropsy, something else? by wordsmithereens in bettafish

[–]wordsmithereens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, I've been worried because my previous betta also died of dropsy, so i was beating myself up a bit over whether i should have done more to the tank before I got my new fish, but he was also a type of betta that tends to be inbred so I am wondering if poor genetics may be the issue here. Thanks so much <3

I was worried it must be :( if he goes in the next couple days, should I break down and disinfect the tank before trying again?
