stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

"Lawrence it's the fucking Taliban" gives similar vibes to "Harold they're lesbians"

Slightly shameful to admit, but nothing could stop me from playing this game

you know what’s a trope that never gets tired is when theyre bouncing around in the plot and suddenly an important name crops up- it’s blorbo bleebus. and some dude is like who the hell is blorbo bleebus. and we immediately cut to our new friend blorbo bleebus pulling the most absolutely buckwild shit you’ve ever seen

Imagine if baking bread was a skill any person living independently in their own house needed to have at least a passing familiarity with, so there were endless books, blogs and websites about how to bake bread, but none of them seemed to contain the most basic facts about how bread actually works.

You would go online and find questions like "Help, I put my bread in the oven, and it GOT BIGGER!" and instead of saying anything about bread naturally rises when you put yeast in it, the results would be advertising some kind of $970 device that punches the bread while it's baking so it doesn't rise.

Even the most reliable, factually grounded sources available would have only the barest scraps of information on the particularities of ingredients, such as how different types of flour differ and produce different results, or how yeast affects the flavor profile of bread. Rice flour, barley flour, potato flour and amaranth flour would be just as common as wheat flour, but finding sources that didn't treat them as functionally identical would be near impossible. At the same time, websites and books would list specific brands of flour in bread recipes, often without specifying anything else.

An unreasonable amount of people would be hellbent on doing something like baking a full-sized loaf of bread in under 3 minutes, and would regularly bake bread to charred cinders at 700 degrees in an attempt to accomplish this, but instead of gently telling people that their goal is not realistic, books claiming to be general resources would be framed entirely around the goal of baking bread as fast as possible, with entire chapters devoted to making the charred bread taste like it isn't charred.

Anyway, this is what landscaping is like.

ilove when someone posts about an issue that's supposedly plaguing society and it's painfully obvious that said issue is not a thing that matters if youre not on tiktok

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

The way fantasy writers talk about a thousand years as this uneventful amount of time is really funny to me because like—in less than 1000 years we went from the Norman Invasion of England to Skibidi Toilet.

The process in which cooking rice improves my mental health:

rinsing/soaking the rice in plain tap water while I wash/prepare the pot gives me rice water, which I can later on use to water my houseplants, which is good for them and gives me nice and shiny healthy plants!

turning plain rice into delicious rice is easy, the only thing you need to do is to add sauces and seasonings directly into the water while waiting for it to boil, turning plain water into delicious water.

once the water is on a low boil and the lid is on, all I have to do is not fuck with it for 20 minutes. Since I am not capable of leaving the area while the stove is hot nor can I stand still and watch for 20 minutes, I am compelled to wash dishes and clean the kitchen area, turning dirty dishes into clean dishes and dirty kitchen into a clean kitchen.

then I wander off anyway and go water my plants with the rice water, turning unwatered houseplants into watered houseplants.

once the delicious rice is complete, I can eat it, and turn myself from has not eaten dinner into has eaten dinner.

with the tools available in my house, I can take neutral things and change them into awesome things, which can be used to turn bad mental health things into good mental health things.
