an underrecognised tragedy of AI slop isn't just that any piece of contemporary art could be AI, any news reel could be AI, it's that now just any video of something vaguely nice and whimsical happening in the world could be AI

this is about the trampoline bunnies

To the person anonymously writing slowburn office lady yuri in my DMs

I don't know why you've chosen me for this harassment campaign you've embarked on. I don't know why you feel that my DMs are a better medium for this story than, I don't know, posting them on a writing website?? Or on your own blog??? And most importantly, I don't know why you are laboring under the delusion that I can't report you just because you are sending the chapters anonymously -- I can in fact, and you would be IP banned.

I'm issuing you this ultimatum right now:

Stop sending me your slowburn office lady yuri

OR

I will report you

OR

Send me the next chapter within 24 hours, because are a fucker for where you left it off, and you have not sent a new chapter in several days. I need to know whether, when they were the only two in the office late at night after a brutal crunch week, and the stars could be seen in the sky due to a power outage on their block, and they talked about life, they actually do kiss or if that's another fakeout, of which you have done MANY.

My patience with you has worn thin. Stop sending me this story, or send me more, or I will report you.

Good night.

[adrianastrix]

I know the feeling. It's sad, but it's also life. I hope you (and everyone reading this) reconnect with a click wherever you are.

Best wishes!

Going AFK for a while

The reasons I joined this site don't really apply anymore.

I came here to share things with certain friends, And 90% of my mutuals are now inactive, busy living their lives, which is honestly a good thing.

So I figured l'd take a step back too.

Not sure if or when l'll return. Just wanted to leave a quick note for my last mutual, thanks for still being here.

Take care, truly. ✨

Oh, dear, @brainscrems sorry for taking so long. I've changed my phone and was having trouble logging in.

Well, the thing about supersaturated solutions (SPECIALLY unstable ones, like water-salt) is that they revert to saturation if you just look at them funnily enough. Even really stable ones, like honey, WILL revert over time. Not really the best material to rub into things.

You could theoretically use just saturated water, but you might run into 2 other problems. The minor one would be the rubbing raising the local temperature and allowing more salt to dissolve, but it would be small potatoes.

The really heavy hitter is that water fully saturated with salt basically can't hold most soaps (themselves salts with sodium as the positive component) without either depositing a fine and irritating layer of salt dust in a surface OR a layer of finely powdered soap (even worse to get rid of). Even soaps without sodium would dissolve less, and I'm not even taking into consideration that this mix has to dissolve the things dirtying the crystal.

And that's all assuming that you will carefully dry ANY SINGLE DROP of cleaning solution once you finish. Because if a thin layer of it is left behind, one of two things will happen, and both have the potential to drive you insane.

Best case scenario, water evaporates and now white-ish spots of the salt are left behind all over your crystal, and the particles are so small that cleaning them is worse than whatever you wanted to clean in the first place (see a pan after you forget water boiling and everything evaporates). Worse case scenario, enough water is left behind that it's now trapped among the salt particles and, instead of a white dry spot, you have a transparent sticky spot that'll never stop being sticky until you heat that bad boy a lot to HOPEFULLY get rid of that water. If you leave the crystal alone, thinking that the stickiness will go away on its own, it'll probably will just get worse. Salt likes to trap wandering water molecules in a rock-solid prison even in the best circunstances, let alone when the particles are this small, maximizing surface for contact (which is why salt forms clumps if you leave your salt container open).

Let's just say that there's a reason we don't use ocean water (cheaper and more abundant than river water) to wash things unless we have no other option. And it's not even saturated.

i saw a girl on tiktok who put her salt lamp in the dishwasher and didn’t realize it would dissolve, and it’s been on my mind for like 3 days
