Y'know I had fun with wplace for a few hours making art and stuff but then I learned about the transmisogynist hate campaign an ex-mod has been put through and I kinda don't wanna touch it with a 10 foot pole anymore

werewolf misunderstanding your excited “do you want the ball? want the ball, girl?” and scheduling you for express bottom surgery

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

this was in the tags of a very funny screenshot and i didnt want to derail there, so i will make a new post: dishwashers manufactured after 2013 take MUCH less water than washing dishes by hand. it seems counterintuitive but it is provably true and has been tested extensively. if you are washing dishes by hand as a way to lower utility bills you are shooting yourself in the foot. dishwashers also sterilize dishes and in general are much much much much cleaner than hand washing, which becomes extra important if you live with anyone who has immune issues, long covid, cancer, etc. if you tried to hand wash your dishes with the temperature possible inside a dishwasher you would get serious burns. it's not physically possible to hand wash dishes and get them cleaner (as in, the amount of bacteria and other contaminants on the surface) than you can with a dishwasher. its almost like an autoclave in there

also do not use sponges to clean things but thats a different post

oh my god i went looking for the sponge bacteria post and found these tags. everyone on this website needs to pay attention in school when they teach you about germ theory. i personally know four people who became permanently crippled from getting basic bacterial food poisoning once. bacteria does in fact make you drop dead, but more often it just makes you permanently ill for the rest of your life. i know "hygiene hypothesis" (being too clean makes you sicker in the long run) was big for a while in the 2000s but its been mostly debunked

it's obvious and inarguable that having a dishwasher at all is a first world thing, and only the wealthy or lucky members of the first world. it's a luxury. what im trying to say is that if you have access to one of these luxury machines, please use it. i run into so many people who have dishwashers and dont use them and then backpat themselves about water saving and cleanliness, both of which are measurably worse with handwashing. its not virtuous or practical or efficient to wash dishes by hand if you have a functional dishwasher.

questions of "laziness" etc can be referred to other discussions of disability vs protestantism and wont be addressed here. but i will mention that i know a few people who have to hand wash and have been able to use a barstool to make being at the sink for long periods of time easier.

So, been thinking about Avatar and the animals of Avatar, and how Zuko has kind of been dubbed by the fandom as the animal guy. Not arguing against Zuko being the animal guy, I understand why the fandom has dubbed him as such. However, I'd like to make the suggestion that, perhaps, there is another character who could also be considered the animal guy:

Sokka.

Now! I know what you're thinking. Sokka likes to eat animals. That's very true, he is the meat and sarcasm guy. But he seems to befriend, be befriended by, and know how to work with a whole lot of different animals throughout the three seasons.

Of course, there's Appa and Momo, which everyone in the Gaang gets to add to their friends list. Not surprising on its own, until you remember that Sokka started out trying to eat Momo. Clearly, Momo has forgiven Sokka of this.

Two different wild animals (enemy birds and Foo Foo Cuddly Poops) feel safe enough around Sokka enough to use his head as a perch.

He soothed wild badgermoles through the art of music and even was able to ride them out of the Cave of Two Lovers.

It is Sokka that a foxy knowledge seeker decides to help, leading him directly to the calendar in the library (and Sokka does the right thing and rewards him with a snack after).

Who is it that gives Flopsy a big ol' hug after getting everyone out of Omashu? Oh yeah, it's Sokka.

And the koalasheep just let him use them as his makeshift therapist office.

He really does ride a huge variety of animals and does so fairly well for (presumably) never having ridden an animal before Appa (which would be somewhat similar, but still require a different skill set to steer and control, and he takes to each of them so quickly). Here he is riding an eel hound, about to mount a ostrich horse, and a komodo rhino that he managed to take control of during the invasion.

And of course, we cannot forget Sokka's own beloved pet, Hawky. Look at how happy he is to have his own hawk.

So, in summary, Sokka is absolutely an animal guy that loves animals just as much as animals like him.

Nothing more embarrassing than accidentally using a big word wrong because now I'm simultaneously both stupid and pretentious, the worst combination of all time
