Gardenias. My grandmother had a huge gardenia tree/bush monstrosity that my mom took a cutting off of when grandma died. That cutting turned into the same tree bush monstrosity in my backyard.

When I’m forced to. My most recent phone was free because carries were upgrading to 5g and I was still rocking 3g. Same story with the phone before that but it was some other network thing I can’t remember. I haven’t paid for a phone in almost 10 years.

I worked for the better part of a decade on a golf course in Florida doing manual labor. There were a few instances of guys getting heat stroke and having to go to the ER while I was employed there. That’s WITH bosses who drove around during the hot months with ice water and Gatorade for us and made sure we were taking breaks. This makes me sick…

Ive always read that as Shake/ing My Head, as well.

The Harry Potter films. I just finished HalfBlood Prince this evening.

I played a homebrew dark steampunk fantasy campaign years ago where my character used to be a wizard. his backstory was he cast a spell to transform himself into a huge warrior one time as an experiment but when he did, it made him too dumb to remember how to change back. He still thought he was a wizard though, so he would cast “spells” by throwing whatever wasnt bolted down at people. My favorite “spell” he cast was teleport. We were being chased by some thugs in a car and i teleported into their car to stop them by just jumping out of our van and onto the hood of their car. I rolled high so ended up going through the windshield and landing in the back seat where i clonked the driver out.

God this site is awful, even with Firefox and ublock it’s nothing but autoplay adds on mobile

I haven’t tried it personally, but https://deoldify.ai/ might be an option. Though, it seems more geared towards colorizing than restoring.

I work for an online business. Its very small but the owner tries to run it like a Fortune500 company. They’re all about SEO and attend all kinds of seminars with words like Synergistic and ‘metrics that mater’ etc. They’ve spent the past month upping all our prices by 30% so we can offer a 20% discount and still make more than normal. Its shitty and I’m not a fan, but this seems to be the norm lately. That, or just offering worse quality in general. Ive avoided black Friday deals for a while now.

Sharks and other bony fish have something called Ampulle of Lorenzini that let them detect electrical signals in the water. it can also detect electromagnetic signals and possibly temperature differences as well. I always thought it would be cool to be able to sense electromagnetic fields. It would probably be overwhelming though TBH

Im already there.

Seconded for PowerToys. it does so many useful things.

Thanks for clarifying!

So, is La Segua’s body normal? its just a Horse head from the neck up? Im sure there are a lot of people who could work with that.

Yeah i picked up quite a few tips for generating good AI porn in this article. Im still not sure if this was satire or not. it basically gives you step by step how to do this.

I didn’t even look to see what community this was posted in. As soon as I read “Ancient Knowledge Sphincter” this was the first thing I thought of. You have a gift with words, OP.

!imaginarystarships@lemmy.world helps to feed my starship addiction.

What if your still being controlled by that centipede…?

How would you describe counter.social? I read through their home page and like a lot of what they’re saying but im not sure if its like Discord or Twitter or something more akin to Lemmy? I’d rather follow communities over individuals and it kind of looks like you follow people but I can’t be sure.

That was exactly what it was. I had to look it up but as soon as i opened that wiki page, this surge of anxiety and ptsd washed over me. That was it for sure.
