Genuinely, I believe this originates from their family preventing them from filling up on bread at restaurants.

I completely forgot about hydrogen cars. What a strange middle man between electricity and oil.

To be fair, the entirety of the staff is Hispanic.

Incredibly unrelated, but you reminded me of this and now I’m compelled to post it.

I do the same thing. Enduring and expanding upon the intrusions until you can line the frame with flesh was the way I finally managed to make use of my personal oddities. Don’t fear articulating and affirming for your own benefit!

Although it took years of active observation and desire and effort to finally wind my way to the low plateau I’ve found

That’s also sweet. I know I’d have had a difficult time controlling myself at different points. Thank you for maintaining the positivity

10000 wasps? No. No, thank you.

10000 bees?? Were I a betting man, I would bet against a positive outcome. But I’m not a betting man, I’m a curious lover. And to be honest, I don’t know where that factors into this life altering decision

That’s very sweet. And probably a little too generous. Thank you!

Here are two that I enjoyed writing. Though they’re a bit more grim and severely benefit from reading the original post as well. I just wish I could link without it going to my instance. Bleh

I like writing short stories for fun, and sometimes I write what comes to me on Lemmy. Though lemmy rarely cares for it, outside of !greentext@sh.itjust.works. Thank you for the kind praise!

Mercury was badass. The slow, seeping madness taking hold of you like a gentle breeze grabbing the breadth of a kite. Invisibly, rapidly hoisting you higher until it suddenly, sinisterly relinquishes its grip. The drop leaves you tattered and indignant, but seemingly mendable.

And so it tenderly brushes the dust off to repeat the process until you’re nothing but caterwauling splinters cast across the ground.

At the point of cooperative organization, we will finally take action as a society. Not because of the threat of violence. No, because of the threat of unionization.

A rain stick so I can sleep better through the night.

Anyone else feel almost like this is a giant game of civ and trump is a bit high, and attempting to execute two victory conditions simultaneously?

The article above mentions natural chewing gums and indicates that they release a comparable plastic load to synthetics. I’m altogether too sleepy to parse the source document, though

Congratulations, you understood my meaning

Badgering people on the communist Linux loo reading app about what is or isn’t a genocide is not a productive use of your time. That is my post-therapy hot take.

Oh. That really sucks. :(

No, I have something against the shitty little asshole I used to be. Ineffectually preaching anticorporatism to no practical results as a form of self comfort. It’s honestly setting off my anxiety remembering all of this. Anyway, consider that therapy

I didn’t mean it like that, but the mental image sent chills down my spine. No, this sort of gum usually has a crunchy outer coating like an m&m, which I heard.

Shit, I don’t think I could fit one of these things in my mouth. The sort of snake child that could do so terrifies me.
