This is for comedy purposes only but I think it'd be really funny if Saruhiko just watched random videos knife related and fell asleep to them. Like, just imagine him sleeping to the soothing voice of a very convincing seller explaining the amazing uses of this 35.000,00 blade or those videos of guys with smooth voices explaining how to use batteries to carve a beautiful art piece in your own knife.

Okay imagine this shortly after Fushimi joins S4, the only way he can fall asleep is to knife asmr XD Like even with his own room Fushimi finds himself getting restless, fighting the urge to look down at the bottom bunk even though he knows no one is there. The only way he can sleep is if he overworks himself to the point that he just passes out the moment he gets in bed, otherwise he’s awake all night staring at the ceiling or playing on his PDA. Munakata’s obviously noticed his exhaustion, as has Awashima, and they both tell him to be sure he gets proper rest. Fushimi clicks his tongue and complains about how annoying it is, Munakata just reminds him that when one lacks sleep it is easier to make mistakes. Fushimi gets irritated at that, wondering if Munakata is accusing him of getting sloppy, and Munakata says of course not, he is just reminding Fushimi of this fact. Fushimi mutters fine he’ll work on it but quickly rebuffs any suggestions Munakata has for falling asleep (Munakata is somewhat downcast, as he’d hoped to suggest a late night puzzle session could be conducive to good sleep).

Fushimi ends up in his room in bed, sighing and scrolling mindlessly on his PDA as he complains quietly about how pointless this all is, worrying about him sleeping. As he’s scrolling he ends up on YouTube and imagine him just flipping past videos, muttering under his breath about annoying influencers, which is when he ends up randomly on some channel that rates knives. This is relevant to Fushimi’s interests so he leaves the video on, staring as the guy onscreen talks about this amazing knife he just got, look how smooth and sharp the blade is and check out this handle. Fushimi doesn’t even really notice as his eyes start to get heavy and soon he’s just fast asleep, the video still running. When it finishes the channel automatically moves on to the next video and it does this all night, so as a consequence Fushimi’s algorithm is now like entirely knife videos. Fushimi can’t really explain it but they’re not annoying to watch, whenever he can’t sleep he finds he can just put on a soothing knife video and it’s the only thing that really helps him get restful sleep.

so hard not to become the most annoying person on earth if you're a little excitable and just learned a little about a topic literally no one around you has any interest in

just as a general reminder

learn how to fact-check for yourself, cause soon enough, most online sources won't be reliable

“here’s what we know about the uhc shooter”

WRONG! He is a suspect and we should treat him as such. He should be treated as innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. He’s a person of interest not the killer. I don’t care what the media or authorities are saying, he’s a human being who deserves a fair trial and deserves to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.

To celebrate rawdog winning word of the year per the American Dialect Society, I'd like to tell the story of how I learned that the meaning of rawdog changed in the past couple years.

If anyone doesn't know, the original and long-held meaning of rawdogging was fucking without a condom. The new meaning has extended to doing any kind of action unshielded, plain, or without preparation.

So, about a year ago, I'm eating lunch with coworkers. It's an office job and we're generally pretty professional. People swear a lot, but there's never any innuendos or sex talk.

A coworker is describing a recent trip she took to a vendor to get a demo of equipment we were considering purchasing. Someone else asks "Did you meet Bob LastName while you were there? He's kind of an interesting guy."

"Yeah I did, and he is a little strange. I walked into the breakroom one morning and he was rawdogging two blueberry bagels"

Cue my high-pitched shriek of "He was DOING WHAT."

Followed by my coworkers explaining the meaning and my faint, flustered reply of "ah...well... I'm used to that meaning.... something else." Some people knew what I was talking about, but unfortunately others did not, and I had to face the ordeal of explaining as delicately as possible to a group of coworkers aged 22 to 60

i remember when i was a child internet safety was like "if you even hint at the country you live in, you're gonna get kidnapped and murdered", and nowadays it is encouraged or even necessary to give corporations every single personal detail if you want to use anything because if they can't sell your information they cry so hard they throw up

a phrase that kinda bothers me when talking about women's historical roles in europe is "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear it so often, those exact words in the same order even. and once you learn a little more you realize that the massive gaping hole in that list is fiberwork. im not an expert and have no hard numbers, but i wouldnt be surprised if fiberwork took up nearly as much time as the other three tasks combined, so it's not a trivial omission.

it's not a hot take to say that the mass amnesia about fiberwork is linked to the belittlement of women's work in geneal, but i do think there's a special kind of illusion that is cast by "cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children." you hear that and think "well i cook and clean and take care of children (or i know someone who does) and i have a sense of how much work that is" and you know of course that cooking and cleaning were more laborious before modern technology, but still, you have a ballpark estimate you think, when in fact you are drastically underestimating the work load.

i also think that this just micharacterizes the role of women's work in livelihoods? cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children are all sisyphean tasks that have to be repeated the next day. these are important, but not the whole picture. when we include all kinds of fiberwork—and other things, such as making candles or soap—women's work looks much more like manufacturing, a sphere we now associate more with men's work. i feel like women's connection to making and craftsmanship is often elided.
