I love this website because where else are you going to get recommended a post clearly made by someone having paranoid religious delusions in the middle of a psychotic episode where all the notes are just dunking on them for not knowing their Mexican folkloric creatures.

Do you think maybe that there’s a chance you are REALLY, REALLY behind on current events & the statue is the beast? I mean literally. Like the statue sits there until the apocalypse & then it turns out it’s an actual robot that a consciousness can switch into when they decide it’s the right day. I’m sorry to be scary, but It is. It’s not just a warning. This is really happening, just like all those other signs you see are also there. It’s there because it’s supposed to be hidden in plain sight to then be switched on, just like other things/statues/etc hidden in plain sight. You’ve been warned many, many times, but each time until the end there’s always a chance to change the future. It’s never hopeless, but you have to come to terms with the fact this has been right in front of you for a very long time. Do you want to take it seriously or do you want to ignore it till it’s too late? The decision is always in your hands.

me, an hour ago: "fuck, the stove is on! what do we do?" [immediately does all the wrong things]

PSA: What NOT to do when you smell gas

In this situation, we got home to a smell of gas throughout the house and discovered our gas stove was on without a flame. it was only a tiny stream, and everything turned out fine, but here's a brief list of everything we did wrong:

NOTE: this is for if you smell significant amounts of gas, not a blanket list for all possible gas situations. (If you aren't aware, the methane**/natural gas used in houses smells vaguely like sulfer, or rotten eggs - this is an additive, since it has no natural smell. It's a very recognizable smell, once you've smelled it once. It's not the same smell as gasoline.)

1. If your stove has an electrical/spark ignition, do NOT turn it off.

Spark ignitions often spark when turning on *and* off. Spark + Gas = Boom. Boom is bad. Avoid boom.

Instead, turn off the gas at the source, i.e. the physical valve at the meter. There may be a smaller valve near the stove. If you don't know where the shutoff is, the fire department will find it.

2. Do NOT turn on (or off) vents or fans.

In fact, don't flip any electrical switches - that includes lights, plugging in or unplugging appliances, etc. These cause sparks. Spark + Gas = Boom.

Also, don't start your car. obviously.

3. Do NOT open windows

counterintuitive, I know. This is mostly because you want to prioritize your exit, but it's also to keep the fumes from spreading outside, where you should be waiting for the ~professionals~ to come handle it.

4. DO take all people and pets outside.

Do this very first!! (one thing we actually did right - go us!)

This is obviously because you don't want to go boom, but you also don't want to suffocate. Gas is poison!

NOTE: the gas from your stove is probably methane (natural gas); carbon monoxide is what you get when methane burns, which is why your kitchen needs to be well-ventilated and the stove shouldn't be left burning for long periods of time, but the natural gas itself is *also* potentially deadly. Carbon monoxide detectors dont detect natural gas, so that's what the odorous additive is for.

Inhaling natural gas causes nausea, headaches, dizziness, and makes you just generally woozy, and eventually causes you to lose consciousness and potentially suffocate, just like carbon monoxide does. We don't want that.

5. DO call the fire department/emergency line

They'll check for other leaks, shut gas off if needed, then test for air quality and eventually clear your house for reentry. It takes like 1-2 hours for the gas to dissipate, generally.

Yay, you survived! Congrats!!

NOTE: if you find the stove has been left on with a flame, or it's on with no flame but you don't smell gas, then you should be safe to just open windows and turn on vents and fans to air it out.

idk, this was actually pretty scary, especially when we realized how much of our immediate response was wrong and could have turned a dangerous situation into a real disaster.

tl;dr: If you smell gas when you shouldn't be smelling gas, just get all the people and animals outside, shut off the gas line, and call the fire department or gas company. don't fuck around with gas. you're not overreacting, you're taking the proper safety measures.

**CORRECTED FROM ORIGINAL VERSION. Original said propane, but it's very much not propane, it's methane. too much Hank Hill on the brain, clearly.

I really like my CO2 meter and I want to tell you about it!

It's a little gadget that measures the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. Did you know your body at rest burns about 100 grams of food/fat an hour? This means you're constantly breathing out carbon dioxide at a rate of about 100 grams an hour. This can rise by quite a lot of you're exercising, and it's less when you're sleeping. This means if you usually keep your doors and windows closed, as I usually do in winter since I live in a cold climate, it can build up fast. You can even breathe directly on the meter and watch the number rise rapidly.

I've had this meter on my desk for many years. It's basically a clock so you can notice the air quality at a glance and it's always on and doesn't produce light. (Note the black tape over the power LED on the left because my autistic ass can NOT sleep with an LED in the room.) It cost about £90 when it was new so it's not the cheapest thing in the world but it's built to last and it's been worth it. This isn't an ad and I'm not saying go for this brand, it's just a gadget that I think improves my life. It's always a good reminder of when I should open the windows.

I'm not 100% sure how well supported this is, but I've seen it said online that a carbon dioxide level of over 1000ppm can lower a person's cognitive function by about 25%. It can be an issue with classrooms with a lot of people. Normal outdoor levels are about 300-400ppm. Whether you believe that is up to you, but I do think fresh air makes people feel better and this serves as a good reminder to let it in. People like to make carbon monoxide jokes on this website, but sometimes high CO2 can be an issue around his you generally feel. It can also build up faster than you'd think if you have multiple people about and no windows open.

Time to open the window! (Apologies for the photo quality, the reflective LCD is not the easiest thing in the world to photograph without shadows or huge reflections.)

"Fish" of the Day

Today's "fish" of the day today is bullwhip kelp!

Bullwhip kelp is a monotypic family, so its scientific name is simply Nereocystis. As a species of kelp, bullwhip kelp is neither a plant nor an animal, but rather is a protist (a protist being any multicellular organism that is not a plant, fungi, or animal) related to and considered a kind of algae. This particular kelp is known by many names, bull kelp, bullwhip kelp, bladderwrack, and edible kelp to name the ones I found. Bullwhip kelp is the most widespread, however this is confusing as the bullwhip kelp is not a part of the Southern bull kelps, which is a whole family of its own found in New Zealand, South America, and Antarctica.  Bullwhip kelp, known primarily for their location along the Pacific coast, stretches from the Aleutian islands of Alaska, down to the Southern most sections of South California. Likely common to many of the readers of this email, it is found washed up on the Oregon, Washington, and California coastlines regularly.

Now, as these posts are mostly focused on fish and other aquatic animals, I will spend a moment focusing on information about kelp itself. As previously mentioned, kelps are protists, belonging to the Laminariales order, which is made up of certain kinds of brown algae. The Laminariales order is found in the Phaeophyceae class, which consists of all brown algae and makes up kelps and some seaweeds. The difference between the two being that kelp is larger and more complex than other seaweed brown algaes, along with requiring more nutrient rich waters and only living in cooler environments. This is opposed to seaweeds which are broad, diverse, and able to stretch into environments kelp cannot. 

Kelps are made up of  structurally complex bodies involving certain plantlike features. A root-ball like structure at the bottom, called a holdfast, acts as a living anchor for the entire organism. The difference between plant roots and the holdfast however, is that it acts as purely anchoring, and does not provide any nutrients to the organism itself. Upward from there is a long and thin section of kelp referred to as a stipe. The stipe of the organism is hollowed out and filled with a series of gases, but the main one is carbon monoxide, making up ten percent of all gases within kelp. These gases are used in the kelp to suspend itself, this gas is held within the rounded pneumatocyst, which some kelp several of. Sprouting from the pneumatocyst are flat sections called blades, these blades are held as close to the surface of the water for photosynthesising, although a 2020 study found that these blades often evolved specific shapes to best increase drag in the water, allowing better interception of light. This is the basics of kelp structure.

Focusing once again on bullwhip kelp, it is known for being some of the larger and faster growing kelp species. Growth occurs in the space between the stipe and the blades of the kelp itself and during the summer growth months there are times where a single stalk of kelp can grow as much as half a meter in a day! They can grow to a maximum length of 36 meters, or 118 feet (stipe and blades), with the blades alone getting 10 meters in length (33 feet) and the possibility to grow 15cm in a day. In bull kelp the pneumatocyst can grow anywhere between 30-64 blades, which is usually high for kelp. Bull kelp is the only kelp species to create spore reproductive packages in the right amount to precisely land at the holdfast of the parent kelp, which drop from the blades once mature.

These kelp are vital to the ecosystems beneath the water, providing homes, and meals for huge numbers of species. Not only that, but their presence keeps large waves from affecting the coastline much harder than it would. This is why it is so concerning that harvest is allowed to happen up to 2 meters on growing kelp, often severing the pneumatocyst and the reproductive spore packages. Other than that, human causes are often bad for kelp forests, as it regularly drives away otters, which are essential for keeping the urchin population in check. If the urchin population becomes uncontrolled, they will consume entire kelp forests over time. This is why we must ensure we remain careful in how we interact with the environment around us, in hopes that we can prevent it from dying out.

That's the bullwhip kelp, everybody. I hope you had a wonderful time reading about it, even if it is a bit out of range from the usual topics, and have a wonderful day!

Heated seats. Heated steering wheels. Heated windshields. Heated armrests. It's getting to the point where you can't drive a car anymore without slipping off into soporific bliss, snoozing as you hover silently along the highways, ensconced in the automotive equivalent of an electrified Snuggie®. And I'm all for it.

Because I live in the great unsettled North, I deal with freezing-cold weather effectively at random. Any day between September 1st and July 31st could be blizzard conditions. And that means I'm going to have to scrape a couple inches to a full ass meter of snow directly off the top of my car, which in turn means I'm going to be very cold by the time I get in. Luxury vehicles with "functioning heat" are, therefore, top of my list when it comes time to salvage a heap from the auction floor.

This is one of my secret techniques when buying bad cars. The car with the heated seats costs about the same as the one without heated seats, after both of them have racked up the mileage of several round-trip moon missions. Sometimes less, if you're shopping a rich part of town after having misrepresented yourself as a mutual fund supervisor. Those are the best deals: the seller doesn't really need the money, is afraid of you, and will give you anything you want if you promise to leave.

Of course, if you're not lucky enough to score the high-zoot trim of your particular hyperfixation, there is still hope for warming your hands. Most cars I've purchased also have substantial exhaust leaks, and exhaust is hot. If you pull the carpet up from around the middle of the car, you'll end up with bare metal: a nice hand-warming hibachi. Even if you roll down the windows to protect yourself from breathing so-called carbon so-called monoxide, you'll still end up ahead of the game, with nice, warm, supple hands by the time you arrive at work after having spent four and a half hours stuck in traffic to move eleven kilometers. And that's what luxury is all about.

“I’m going to sue you for workplace sexual harassment,” Arthur tries one night at a bar, without much hope. “Well, it would certainly be an interesting challenge for your barrister,” Eames allows. “Seeing as we have no legal workplace, I’m wanted in half of Europe, and last I checked you’ve got an Interpol red notice out on you. But sure, absolutely – give it a go. Never know unless you try, and all that.” -- [or: Arthur is married to Eames for the better part of a decade. Then he wakes up.]

this just might hurt a little by gunsandbutter

You'll never know what you're missing till you try.

toxic by witling

Eames tackles him from behind, brings him down onto his belly on the carpet, and plants a knee in his back. “What,” he pants, “the hell.” Arthur gets into trouble, and can't remember how he got there. Eames lends a hand.

Seaweed Song by VIII_XIII

It’s not that it’s not dangerous down there, but at least when you're down there, there are rules to keep you safe. Watch your depth. Check your air. Safety stop: five meters, three minutes, just in case. Don’t taunt the wildlife. Stay with your buddy. And above all else, don’t ever hold your fucking breath. If you follow the rules, you live. On the surface, there are so many more variables. There are so many unforeseen circumstances. Drunk drivers, carbon monoxide leaks, Russian aerospace conglomerates and incompetent coworkers, Arthur standing there on the resort’s dock glaring at you as you climb out of the water. Eames moves to a tropical island. Arthur is afraid of the ocean.

This next one might be your thing or it might not, but I'm throwing it in anyway for the kink fans among us.

Faith in Aberrations by recrudescence

There isn’t much that has Arthur hesitating and faltering like a virgin. Eames privately finds it charming that someone who’s led a life as eventful as Arthur’s can still be so sweetly squeamish about certain things. Inspired by a kink meme prompt: Eames gives Arthur an enema. In addition to the obvious, this contains dirty talk, barebacking, first-time rimming, a bit of an impregnation kink, and inappropriate discussions over dry cleaning.

I have more, but I'll leave it there for now! Have fun ❤️

Welcome to homeownership! 😭

Had the people out to tune up our furnace this morning and that visit ended with "I can't legally leave the premises until I turn off the gas and you sign this thing saying you won't run your furnace".

They (the sellers? Whoever they had service the thing?) had messed with some settings that made it seem like it was running normally but if you adjusted to the settings the machine calls for, the carbon monoxide in the exhaust skyrocketed. Like, errored out the meter at 4000ppm when 10ppm is when you'd start getting headaches from it. 😐

So now we get to try to prove the sellers knew about it, or at least figure out who they had service the machine.

The Signs As Ways to Die

Aries: Car crash. Nasty one. Smoke rising in the sky, blood and scraps of car for hundreds of yards. It was someone else's fault. But it was yours, too. Taurus: Brain bleed. A bar fight you thought you won. You tried to sleep the headache off. Gemini: Shot in the back, then again in the head. You truly believed they were your friend. Cancer: Suicide by exsanguination. In the last few minutes, you weren't sure if you really wanted to die. You hoped someone would save you. Nobody did. Leo: Drowned. Swimming pool. You were drunk. It was days before anyone came looking for you, and by then it was hard to identify you. Virgo: Carbon Monoxide poisoning. It was a freak accident, one in ten thousand chance. No way you could have known. You weren't ready to go, but at least you didn't suffer. Libra: Rare form of cancer. Not the kind you recover from. Already in its advanced stages by the time they realized. It was the one thing you didn't prepare for. Scorpio: Manual strangulation. The police report called it a "domestic dispute". Yeah. That's one way to put it. Sagittarius: Exposure. You had wandered off the trail, gotten lost. It happens more often than you'd think. They found you only a few hundred meters from safety. Capricorn: Overdose. Fentanyl. Nobody saw it coming...we should have. I'm sorry. Aquarius: Old age. You just drift off...it's peaceful. But you're alone. Pisces: Heart attack. Died of fear. They never figured out why

A new, higher-resolution infrared camera outfitted with a variety of lightweight filters could probe sunlight reflected off Earth’s upper atmosphere and surface, improve forest fire warnings, and reveal the molecular composition of other planets. The cameras use sensitive, high-resolution strained-layer superlattice sensors, initially developed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, using IRAD, Internal Research and Development funding. Their compact construction, low mass, and adaptability enable engineers like Tilak Hewagama to adapt them to the needs of a variety of sciences. Goddard engineer Murzy Jhabvala holds the heart of his Compact Thermal Imager camera technology – a high-resolution, high-spectral range infrared sensor suitable for small satellites and missions to other solar-system objects. “Attaching filters directly to the detector eliminates the substantial mass of traditional lens and filter systems,” Hewagama said. “This allows a low-mass instrument with a compact focal plane which can now be chilled for infrared detection using smaller, more efficient coolers. Smaller satellites and missions can benefit from their resolution and accuracy.” Engineer Murzy Jhabvala led the initial sensor development at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, as well as leading today’s filter integration efforts. Jhabvala also led the Compact Thermal Imager experiment on the International Space Station that demonstrated how the new sensor technology could survive in space while proving a major success for Earth science. More than 15 million images captured in two infrared bands earned inventors, Jhabvala, and NASA Goddard colleagues Don Jennings and Compton Tucker an agency Invention of the Year award for 2021. The Compact Thermal Imager captured unusually severe fires in Australia from its perch on the International Space Station in 2019 and 2020. With its high resolution, detected the shape and location of fire fronts and how far they were from settled areas — information critically important to first responders. Credit: NASA Data from the test provided detailed information about wildfires, better understanding of the vertical structure of Earth’s clouds and atmosphere, and captured an updraft caused by wind lifting off Earth’s land features called a gravity wave. The groundbreaking infrared sensors use layers of repeating molecular structures to interact with individual photons, or units of light. The sensors resolve more wavelengths of infrared at a higher resolution: 260 feet (80 meters) per pixel from orbit compared to 1,000 to 3,000 feet (375 to 1,000 meters) possible with current thermal cameras. The success of these heat-measuring cameras has drawn investments from NASA’s Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO), Small Business Innovation and Research, and other programs to further customize their reach and applications. Jhabvala and NASA’s Advanced Land Imaging Thermal IR Sensor (ALTIRS) team are developing a six-band version for this year’s LiDAR, Hyperspectral, & Thermal Imager (G-LiHT) airborne project. This first-of-its-kind camera will measure surface heat and enable pollution monitoring and fire observations at high frame rates, he said. NASA Goddard Earth scientist Doug Morton leads an ESTO project developing a Compact Fire Imager for wildfire detection and prediction. “We’re not going to see fewer fires, so we’re trying to understand how fires release energy over their life cycle,” Morton said. “This will help us better understand the new nature of fires in an increasingly flammable world.” CFI will monitor both the hottest fires which release more greenhouse gases and cooler, smoldering coals and ashes which produce more carbon monoxide and airborne particles like smoke and ash. “Those are key ingredients when it comes to safety and understanding the greenhouse gases released by burning,” Morton said. After they test the fire imager on airborne campaigns, Morton’s team envisions outfitting a fleet of 10 small satellites to provide global information about fires with more images per day. Combined with next generation computer models, he said, “this information can help the forest service and other firefighting agencies prevent fires, improve safety for firefighters on the front lines, and protect the life and property of those living in the path of fires.” Probing Clouds on Earth and Beyond Outfitted with polarization filters, the sensor could measure how ice particles in Earth’s upper atmosphere clouds scatter and polarize light, NASA Goddard Earth scientist Dong Wu said. This applications would complement NASA’s PACE — Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem — mission, Wu said, which revealed its first light images earlier this month. Both measure the polarization of light wave’s orientation in relation to the direction of travel from different parts of the infrared spectrum. “The PACE polarimeters monitor visible and shortwave-infrared light,” he explained. “The mission will focus on aerosol and ocean color sciences from daytime observations. At mid- and long-infrared wavelengths, the new Infrared polarimeter would capture cloud and surface properties from both day and night observations.” In another effort, Hewagama is working Jhabvala and Jennings to incorporate linear variable filters which provide even greater detail within the infrared spectrum. The filters reveal atmospheric molecules’ rotation and vibration as well as Earth’s surface composition. That technology could also benefit missions to rocky planets, comets, and asteroids, planetary scientist Carrie Anderson said. She said they could identify ice and volatile compounds emitted in enormous plumes from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. “They are essentially geysers of ice,” she said, “which of course are cold, but emit light within the new infrared sensor’s detection limits. Looking at the plumes against the backdrop of the Sun would allow us to identify their composition and vertical distribution very clearly.” By Karl B.

Woah, could you tell us more about your house that was inhabited by demons? I’m glad you’re alright :0

on it, boss

and thanks!

ok this is going to be veeerrry personal. mental health, religion, stuff

so i rented out a room inside of a condo for my sophomore-senior year of college with two other people. It was a narrow house, with all the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Mine was at the top of the stairs, the rest were down a hallway. In retrospect, we had nothing that would leak gases into the house that would make us hallucinate or feel weird. everything indoors was electric, and the water heater was in an outdoor room with open-air access outside. However, we had no carbon monoxide meter, so. that's for anyone to speculate.

I started noticing that feeling of being watched coming from down the hallway on days when I was there alone, but I shrugged it off and attributed it to the fact I've felt that way ever since I was a little kid (to the point I had phobias of dark windows, closets, mirrors, and photos with eyes in them)

Walking towards my roommate's room always felt like I was descending into a pit. Like sudden full-body goosebumps, intense thoughts like "go away. go away turn around", it seeming 2x darker than the rest of the hallway, etc.

At some point I started seeing stuff back there, but turning to look at it directly, there'd be nothing. I just kinda treated it all like whatever. When i was 13 i had major depressive disorder to the point I developed hallucinations for a brief time. I just figured it was the same old stuff.

Until my roommates started talking about it. They knew about it for a long time. they called it "the house ghost" and hoped it was friendly. I didn't really care about it then either. It wasn't a problem, especially when my roommates were there.

then suddenly, i was alone. my a-spiritual roommate graduated and moved out, and the roommate whose room was at the back of the hall- her mental health got so bad that she had to move back home. ✨ForeShadowing✨. She would visit occasionally, but I was alone most of the time, and this was when covid started so I was stuck inside the house all day, too.

I do not know when or why they were there. I don't know why they were rooted onto that last room. at one point I braved the hallway and opened my roommate's room (I had to put something of hers inside). I didn't get a good look around, but there was a giant band poster taking up half of her wall that was just a very large hastily-painted eye. literally no idea if that's significant in any way lmao, it just scared the crap out of me (see eye phobia). Later on, that same roommate left a wiccan book on the kitchen counter. Are demons attracted to things like that? the book probably, but the rest, I am unsure. I don't know how many other wiccan or new age things like that she had in her room either. I can only speculate on whether or not she intentionally invited them, unintentionally did, or if they were there before all of us.

I am unsure why I believed there were three. I think it felt like three.

well, at this point it becomes a lot more subjective. All i can describe it as is: the things in the house reallllyyy didnt like me, and their old target left.

I didn't know a lot of my own promises as a Christian, like that demons couldn't hurt me or anything and that I am inherently protected and etc etc. I did not know I had authority over them and could tell them to skedaddle. I was afraid of them, and honestly that's the worst thing a person can be lol. I do think demons can *torment* someone, but only if they're given permission to. I mean, they could never hurt me -directly-, only... bother me, a lot. especially attacking places where i was still broken inside, and bringing up things and mental problems i struggled with a lot in the past

I was quite happy at this point in my life, even with the isolation. I really didn't like being in school, though. content warning for this next paragraph, self injurious ideation:

But out of the blue, I started getting intense intrusive thoughts about self harm and suicide. It was near constant sentences sounding off in my head. I say that, because I don't naturally have an internal monologue. So I... attributed it to the isolation. I didn't pay attention to the fact that it only happened when I was inside the house. After a few months of that, it started stressing me out. One day, my very religious mother visited, and I had to leave for a few hours. When I got back, she pulled me aside and said that the whole time she was in my room, something kept trying to tell her to jump off my balcony, among other things. She started blasting praise music through speakers, but said "for some reason, it was really, really difficult." I think i just started crying. I asked her how many demons there were in the house. she said, "three." Gosh, I wish I knew how to tell them off at the time. anyway

She didn't know how I could live through that every day for the last however long it was. I didn't know either. It didn't get better after that. Normally, they couldn't come in my room, full stop. but there was one time i unintentionally agreed with something demonic (i didnt think it was inherently bad on the surface) and didn't realize, that night I saw someone standing in my room. eventually, i printed out Bible verses and taped them to all of the walls around the house so I could recite them as I walked to my room.

unfortunately that was also the start of me not being able to listen to secular music, bc some bands would also bring them closer.

As far as I myself went, I started having intense mood swings, nightmares, depressive episodes, the most major dissociation i've ever experienced in my life, and the stress started ruining my digestive system to the point where I had to stop eating solid food for a little bit. That was the beginning of my last 3 years of sickness.

i made a funny tiktok that no longer exists online making fun of the whole house situation, and im quite proud of it but it has my face in it, so no one gets to see it :P

I FINALLY got out of the house, and moved away, but sadly my problems stuck. persistent indigestion and malnutrition worsened mental health to the point I stopped making enough neurotransmitters to feel emotions and sleep and have a normal memory, i was absolutely tortured with different things. i was so afraid of messing up and making demons hurt me (which was a lie. a lie very useful for them)(i believe it's called legalism, which, bad). I was a complete mess, physically mentally spiritually.

but yeah it took 3 years to learn that i can just. act in the authority i was given. fully believe im protected and forgiven and healed, even in my mind. command things to leave and they have to. i also started listening to music again, bc i know things cannot hurt me anymore. i dont have to be afraid of anything. ever again.

i'm all better now, i havent had neurotransmitter problems in ages, my stomach is healed, i get to exercise soon, the mood swings went away, i rarely ideate bad things, i dont remember my last depressive episode, and i havent had intrusive or bad thoughts in a while! i mean im still kind of weird and eccentric but that's to be expected

the carbon monoxide meter battery was low but ofc my sister & couldnt have known that bc 1) we couldnt find the manual for our apparatus very outdated meter model 2) my dad is paranoid about everything & cleaned the thing of every bit of wording on it so of course the second it started beeping we freaked + evacuated us & the dogs after opening the windows bc wtf else were supposed to do we panicked lmfao
