My favorite is when the interviewer receives news that his wife has gone into labor mid-interview, and Mandy is utterly thrilled.

Am i prangent?

Gromit deserves ALL the love!

I’ve been prepping for the typhoon that’s expected to hit us tomorrow, prepping, in my case, involving stocking up on snacks and ice cream, giving into temptation and eating said snacks and ice cream, and going out to the supermarket to buy more.

I like it! I’m still trying to make sense of Lemmy and this app helps a lot. Thank you to everyone involved!

I remember we used to say “like I could care less” sarcastically back in the late 80s. I moved to a non-English speaking country in ‘89 so I have no idea when “I could care less” shifted from sarcasm to incorrect grammar, but I was surprised the first time I encountered people online mention it as a grammatical pet peeve.

Kyoto, Japan. We’re pretty used to typhoons, but since this one’s headed straight for us, I’m expecting things to get a bit crazy. The last time a big typhoon hit my area back in 2018, my shed got blown across my yard. The cleanup was not fun. But at least this time, I’ll have ice cream.

Me, too! My morning routine’s BORU with a cup of coffee. Regular advice and AITA-type content does’t really do it for me since I hate the lack of closure/resolution, so BORU was perfect for me. I don’t know what I’m going to do now for my daily drama fix.

Over the past few months, I’ve canceled my subscriptions to Audible, Disney+, Netflix, and appleTV. I still have Amazon Prime since it’s an annual subscription, but that’s it. It’s been a surprise to realize how much pressure I was feeling to consume all this content and how freeing it felt to just get rid of it all. I have a lot of audiobooks I haven’t gotten around to listening, and books I haven’t read yet. I can still watch stuff on Amazon and ahem other places if I want. But really, there has to be more to life than just endlessly binging tv shows.

Japan here. We don’t use WhatsApp at all. Line tends to be forced down our throats, though. I’ve so far managed to avoid using it but do get weird looks when people want to communicate over Line and I refuse.

I like to top cream cheese on bagel with sliced cherry tomatoes or fresh figs if they’re in season. You can also mix some chopped raisins, a bit of honey, and cinnamon into plain cream cheese for an easy, yet yummy spread.

I enjoyed rereading ‘Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM.’ And also ‘Bunnicula’ for a bit of silliness.

King of edible leaves, His Majesty, the Spinach.

I was expecting a Stephen King-type story development but was (un)pleasantly surprised by duck anus on a grill. Two thumbs up.

Thanks!

I cook rice with mine.

Wow, that was amazing! My ears thank you.

God, that looks sooo good, I’ve lost my train of thought and now I can’t remember what I was supposed to be angry about.
