Just as a little moment of grounding... What are we all having for dinner on this sombre evening? I gotta use up my other half tin of coconut cream, so I'm going to do a rich tomato curry with tvp balls that I also need to use up. Along with the leftover everything-in-one veggie and dal curry and boiled eggs my aunt gave me.

Frozen fried rice heated in the microwave - a real cbf dinner. Now the cool change has come through I NEED CALORIES! Had a nice salad for lunchies with some gorgeous red grapes after - grapes rn are pretty wow. These were intensely sweet and almost musky - very much muscatel vibes but juicy. Best I've had for a long time.
So, seeing the early US results, anyone looking for 2 When We Were Young festival tickets?

So thereβs now literal children buying anti-aging products like retinol and thereβs a hair disclosing spray so women can completely defuzz their whole faces?
People are getting preventative Botox and giving themselves gastroparesis by using Ozempic and 20 year olds are either removing the fat from their cheeks or getting fillers? Celebrities with slightly crooked teeth are getting full veneers or caps?
Earlier periods of history got a bad reputation for their rigid beauty standards and rightfully so but I feel like itβs all much more out of control now because internet. Modern beauty standards are insane.
Screw that Iβm crawling back under my rock
there's celebrities and then there is insta and tiktok celebrity. Insta and tiktok is freaky.
I feel like TikTok is weirdly disconnected from reality
western tiktok has an anti-social algorithm ,
I swear, just seeing pollen makes me itchy.
Something to distract us all from the doom and gloom shark quiz
I got 3/10 poo
LOL, also 6/10.
6/10 Any knowledge I have is due yo my son and his shark fascination from the ages of 3 to 6.
eee 7/10
I have an intimate knowledge of sharks because one hasn't eaten me yet.
6/10 - lots of guessing/educated guessing.
I got 5/10 and I dispute the answer for megalodon tooth size. They have many sizes of teeth depending on what kind of tooth. Question should have been, the biggest megalodon tooth. Most meg teeth are about 10 cm.
7/10, not too shabby indeed lol
We have good odds in the ocean.

The real question about the US Election is do they get democracy sausages?
I'm not sure they'll even have democracy much longer, sausages are probably pushing it.
They haven't ever had it. Current system is more or less an oligarchy, it's just called democracy so as not to scare people.
No. In fact, some states have passed laws prohibiting the distribution of refreshments to people waiting in line to vote
That's wild
There is reason for it. Back in the days where travelling to a polling place was still a major event politicians used to ply people with food and alcohol to buy their votes. It often got quite out of control and was seen as a threat to democracy.
No. In fact when we ask about it, they usually think we are joking.
They do not
What in the ever loving Mary Shelly nightmare is the Helicoprion's mouth in that quiz???
P
I've heard of that one, the tooth whorl is one of the most prized fossil finds evah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicoprion
Funnily, it was the name that gave it away for me lol. Helico-pter, helix, etc.
But yeah, fuck that noise.
Exactly how I worked it out too.
