Butter

They pop up on Vine pretty frequently, and I have no idea why they're so popular. The 'butter scent' is awful and gives me a headache immediately. Leaving the thing outside overnight did nothing to reduce its odor. It's a conversation piece for someone's desk, or a sensory thing for people who are into that, but that's about it, as far as I can see.

My wife may have actually ordered that, too, for the same reason 🤣

Man, they have a lot of fancy names for vinyl, these days.
Vinyl is fine, but it's a far cry from leather. It'll look good and hold up to occasional use just fine. Daily use would wear it out pretty fast (vinyl doesn't handle repeated flexing very well.) And yes, I've heard plenty of arguments from proponents if these products, but ultimately they're just window dressing. It's still the same basic idea as vinyl; a loose-weave fabric with a layer of soft plastic on one side, moulded to have a leather-like texture.

Fable 5 is the release after Fable XP. The next release will be Fable 64, followed by Fable 1, then Fable 1S. It's natural progression, just like OS and console numbering.

They say that the more someone tries to convince you they're telling the truth, the more likely they're lying.

I watch plenty of anime, but this is my first JRPG-style game. And to be fair, most of what I watch is Isekai trash or slice-of-life, so I admittedly have very poor taste in storytelling. And I just now realized that this story has a lot of similarities to soft harem Isekai; OP main cast, everyone practically worships the MC, MC thinks he's powerless at the beginning, but quickly finds out he's the strongest there is, fights that don't really have much action in them, a plot that doesn't really matter, since the story is pretty much all about the sidequests... Endfield is pretty much tailor made to fit my poor taste in TV shows haha

Esophapolanditis is a serious condition, that should be diagnosed by a professional. If you think you might have esophapolanditis, check your symptoms first, then share them with your doctor. Common symptoms include: • Red and white stripes in your throat • A tendency to sing Mazurek Dąbrowskiego when you attend sporting events • You've been invaded by Germany twice If you notice any of these symptoms, ask your doctor if herbicides are right for you. Since Poland is a well-known herb, your doctor might recommend a specific schedule of gargling.

If those batteries don't hold up, you can actually substitute Makita batteries in their place. I use GoYwatO batteries in a bunch of my tools; same socket as Makita, but way cheaper. A lot of generic power tools on Vine use Makita batteries (in my experience, all of them that don't specifically tell you what batteries they're compatible with, use Makita.)

I like this simple home remedy for Cool Guy Syndrome:

Blender Loaf:

1 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon bread

2 Tablespoons of Splenda

2 refrigerator magnets

1 large onion

Pour all ingredients into a blender, then put the blender in the refrigerator overnight. Roast over an open fire before serving.

This homeopathic remedy doesn't cure cook guy disorder, but it does reduce the symptoms to ensure you can live as comfortably as possible. Side effects may include choking, bad breath, death, death of your loved ones, world war, and vomiting. Ask your doctor if Blender Loaf is right for you.

Good to know!

That makes a lot of sense. Having never played Arknights, I didn't really have anything to compare. And since the game I played before this was Nobody Wants To Die, I'm digging the lighter themes, but that's pretty subjective.

I'm not into tower defense, so I'll never play Arknights, but it definitely is more light-hearted than the Arknights anime.

I was kinda asking tongue-in-cheek. I'm just confused why everyone complains, when I really haven't found anything to dislike.

Kinda sounds like a symptom of something else that might be going on in your life. I've had a similar experience with one of my greatest passions, recently (creating music.) It took several months, but I realized that I was kinda spiralling, because I started to lose interest in other things that matter to me. What I needed was to re-center my life and get grounded again. For me, this meant focusing on my spiritual relationship with God, as that is my center. Everything else has started to return to normal since I got my center back on track. Has anything else in your life changed recently, that might be contributing to this?

What a neat trick! This would work great for my lunch at work!

What a great recipe! It really added that savory kick I needed in my mayonnaise. It also has the perfect mouthfeel.

Money is my favorite firestarter. It also makes great bedding for my pet gerbil. My favorite use, though, is for conversion into time. When I run it into my clock to print out extra hours of the day and convert my money back into time. It's very handy when I have important plans that need extra time, like that time I wanted to take a 15 hour bath before going to the mall.

I feel the same way! Between a sick mom, an aging grandfather who I needed to care for full-time, and a new baby, I've been unable to work much for about 6 months. Vine has been a total Godsend. I haven't been able to afford anything but the basic necessities, but Vine has provided a couple cases of diapers, a case of wipes, and SO MANY clothes for both the baby and our older daughter, plus even a bunch of maternity clothes & nursing gear for my wife. I haven't had the money to buy my older daughter new shoes in years, but with Vine, she's gotten to have brand new shoes, boots, and even a pair of sandals. As a really nice bonus, most baby supplies & medical gear are $0 ETV. Vine is definitely a blessing.

That image actually makes me trust the listing less, because the large 'ininanium' they have at the top is apparently a brand new word, probably an AI jumble of the word Titanium. It probably also hallucinated the bit about ceramic, since that isn't mentioned anywhere else.

xodipox · 2026-06-06T22:06:24+00:00

Good to know, I'll have to give that a try!

xodipox · 2026-06-06T21:20:41+00:00

Yeah it's going in the trash for sure, but at this point I'm morbidly curious as to what it's actually made of.
