my oven light actually blew the other day!

I've had to, actually. But I am curious about the answer, as well, so I did a little research. Supposedly if you use an incandescent bulb with a lower voltage, you make the coefficient of efficiency worse but you simultaneously extend the lifespan of it by quite a bit. In a oven, low energy efficiency is not a major problem as the waste heat just gets to be used in heating the oven itself. So perhaps the lamps are quite usual but just get used at a lower voltage? Or perhaps the filament is thicker so it burns slower. I didn't arrive at an answer, but have few plausible conjectures instead.

Most Pokemon have always had fur, this isn't new. That's what Puff's curled hair at the top is supposed to represent.

I don't think Kirby has ever been depicted with fur on the other hand. AFAIK it's just skin, I think.

i don't want to think about this.

kirby is already hyperrealistic. its just what he looks like in real life

this is my favourite post

socks need at least one hole in them to put your foot in

if u have a lil extra $$$ and live somewhere it gets cold, invest in some merino wool socks.... they're lightweight but so, so warm......

Controversial Opinion #2: I'm not the slightest bit interested in "generation wars" and enjoy having friends of different ages.

I don't like smartphones and have no intention of ever using one. I lie about it, though: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/595zg5/sopranica-jmp-wom-cell-network-diy-anonymous

I greatly dislike iPhones and had to throw mine away, but I do understand how loyal iFolks can be. I won't push my own opinions about software on to you now that I know. You can always ask if you're curious and I am always receptive to new information.

Me either and it has to do with childhood trauma/abuse.

I don't go around kicking puppies or anything and I like the CONCEPT of dogs, I just don't ever want to be responsible for one or in a situation where I can't just leave and avoid them.

Absolutely. Can we be controversial together?

I think this is a pretty good reason that can't be criticized, anything that makes computing less dorky is good in my book.

Yea, I feel you. I'm not doing the direct action but my fantasies are getting.....well, scary.

I don't think it's possible to only do good consumption. Think "least bad". Also, what I'm trying when I freeze up and get overwhelmed with afk stuff is "next best thing" and/or "best next thing".

I can't make my family respect me and stop gaslighting me but I can water this african violet or wash my favourite plate.

hth.....I'm there too so talking to myself as well as you.

i am doing a whole lot too much internet and i need to stop with direct action

What do you mean? Have you considered entryism?

i do it for more asthetic reasons when I am editing or reading a piece of text REALLY HARD so it looks like i am doing more and am a keyboard wizard/witch

I HATE THOSE

I greatly prefer text based forums and am very happy to have found this place. I was invited by another member. I am also on Raddle for political stuff, so I don't need as much of it here unless it is a different perspective or something that I hadn't thought about.

I hope it's okay that I shared the link and invited someone who is being abused on Twitter.

What's fun?

yeah and then i accidentally middle click it into terminals

ya i'll double click paragraphs as i read them. not sure if it actually does anything to help or hurt my Reading Experience but i do it anyway

I just relisten to old pop songs repeatedly and after reading an article change it to another one.

I HATE MEDIUM SO MUCH
