in trying to figure out whose limbs were whose, which, what, and where, i was absolutely prepared to see aliens with backjointed knees and shit. alas it appears to be bog standard humans in awkward shadows.

you will get a premature dopamine hit ... and lose motivation

OHHH is THAT what the fuck happens???

The only adhd tips that work:

1. Never tell anyone what you're planning to do until you do it (you will get a premature dopamine hit and sense of accomplishment from telling them and lose motivation to actually do it)

2. Never sit down (never sit down)

that link has a whole lot of "legal, but" with weird local regulations and reports of people who got arrested for indecent exposure in jurisdictions where it's supposedly fine. I mean the last post in this reblog chain was from 2023 so maybe some shit's regressed in the past couple of years but like.

compare striptease laws, which in many localities require pasties on female performers. does not seem like we've actually got legal toplessness in those places.

idk frankly i've never lived anywhere in the US where i've seen casual titty. not even at various beaches.

i'm not sure where i'm going with this because it's not like i think breasts are inherently pornographic, I think the US is pretty dumb about this. But I'm also aware of prevailing attitudes in the US and it doesn't surprise me at all that it's a LOT more complicated than "Toplessness for breasts is legal in most places in the US."

Hooray! Yay! Dykes!

i mean on the plus side it's already on my person >_>

Why do they even make apps for ADHD. You want me to use my 24/7 handheld immediate distraction device? To manage my 'gets distracted too easily' disorder? Ooooh we developed the perfect tool for managing your anemia. Its hosted in Dracula's castle. 👍

Ring, apparently

so the synopsis of The Ring is: you will die 7 days after watching this videotape. my question is does that apply to rewatching the tape. let's say I watch the tape, wait 6 days, and watch it again. does the timer reset to 7 days? can I do this indefinitely? can I become functionally immortal by watching the evil videotape on a weekly basis?

i love buying eggnog in glass quarts with a $3 deposit that the dairy washes out and reuses!!

i wish lactaid or a local generic equivalent was sold in reusable glass bottles!

Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.

Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

on the plus side it's fewer characters

on the minus side it does somewhat undercut the seriousness of some messages

is that really a negative tho, that's a significant portion of why we use it
