Me golf commentating: These are evil, evil men... they have done wicked deeds to be here today. There are no winners today-- Beautiful drive there. Right onto the fairway.

girl dinner. fattest fucking plate of pasta you've ever seen in your life

After sex you see me roll over and go to balcony. You think ive gone for smoke due to my melancholic nature but I’ve opened sudoku.com evil level

im going to watch an anime, should it be princess mononoke, cowboy bebop, or jojo

watch this

you can’t see because i’m on computer but i’m gesturing to my balls

i have witnessed unspeakable horrors . the horrors weren't undescribable or anything, i just had to sign an NDA

With all due disrespect anyone who thinks a full grown adult can survive off of 12$/hr in 2023 should die

i honestly don’t know how this happened but somewhere between my childhood and formative years i forgot how to exist like a normal person and started to either overthink everything or make disastrous choices without any proper thinking at all. no middle ground whatsoever

Not to be australian but wtf is a bog? You guys just make shit up hey

Ok i looked it up and that was NOT what i thought a bog was.

(Pst don’t we have bogs?)

@micewithknives the obsession is totally valid. The whole not-really-land but not-really-water thing definitely gives bogs an ethereal quality. Ngl, their stagnant stillness paired with the extensive plant life gives strong "life comes from decay" vibes which is such a fun concept to mentally play with. And they're fascinating ecosystems even without the cultural connotations.

Plus bog-hopping is both fun (getting all muddy) and terrifying (oh shit oh shit this hole was way deeper than I realized and now I'm stuck up to my waist in mud water and there's nothing nearby to grab except more mud and waterlogged vegetation and I'm gonna die because I wanted to get closer to some pretty moss)

Awkward moment when you realize people love bogs mostly for their amazing biodiversity and not . . .

ya know

bog bodies.

(Content warning on the link: there are detailed photos of preserved human remains.)

Sometimes I forget that bog bodies are *not* a typical thing to know about so I didn't mention them because "well everyone already knows about my personal favorite parts of bogs (bog bodies) (broader cultural and historic perception of bogs) so I don't need to bother with explaining their long-standing reputation as liminal spaces"

And then I am reminded that I am not immune to the phenomenon of specialists forgetting what is considered common knowledge to the general populace.

armchair anthropologist here to just chime in and agree there is no human culture that im personally aware of that lives in/around wetlands generally and bogs in particular that doesnt consider them ritually, religiously or culturally important in extremely similar ways. so much so that we have indigenous bog bodies (some evidently sacrificial and some apparently normal funerary burials) in Florida AND Europe that are preserved incredibly well because peat itself is just a really really good preservation medium due to a combination of factors sort of similar to pickling (acidity and protection from air). you can take 3000-year-old dairy butter out of a peat bog and eat it on a cracker if you want to. wetlands really are magical and liminal, not just as a passage between the water and the land, but as a portal between millennia.

Armchair ecologist here too add that because nothing really decays ever in a bog they can provide incredible snapshots into changes in habitat to the point there is an entire convention around protecting wetlands.

I think we all have an ecological memory of some kind — a recollection of how things used to be. And for a lot of us, the land we live on is fundamentally wetter then we realise. Reconnecting with that and rewetting is one of the most incredible things.

‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs

They call me millions knives cos that's how many knives it takes me to make a sandwich cos I keep putting them in the fuckin sink

Why do right-wingers crackpots believe the most boring conspiracy theories?

Oh they’re putting things in the water/food/vaccines? Elites are sexual predators? How unimaginative.

How about something more creative like the government feeding radioactive isotopes to the mentally disabled?

Or giving black men fake syphilis treatments to study the disease?

Or kidnapping people and subjecting them to LSD and sensual depravation to try and develop mind control?

Or secretly hiring Nazi scientists to work in NASA?

To quote the YouTuber miniminuteman773:
