this is 100% true, a data center is basically a dungeon out of a Forgotten Realms campaign but without all those damn kobolds

have some means of converting images into ASCII art so i can browse bluesky through a text-only browser like Lynx and it'll be like i'm back on my beloved 286 w/ the sweet-as-hell 2400 baud modem 😎

i think you're supposed to start carrying a spear at that age, or at least that's when i started

ichneumon wasps are so cool, i love 'em

"just trim a few inches off the frontal lobe, thanks!"

it's a confused looking orange cat inside a freestanding vest that says "security" on it, the cat is being held up by me because i wanted to pose the little devil properly but he's allergic to being a tool of capital, for which i cannot fault him!

i let him try on my old stab-proof vest but it might be a little too small 😽

a monitor displaying the feeds for four security cameras shows two of the cameras are pointing at a beautiful orange cat who goes by the name Geoffy, and beside the left hand side of the monitor is the actually Geoffy himself, looking vaguely evil

someone threw away an entire unused security camera system! now i control the Panopticon!! absolute power has absolutely corrupted me!!!

pretty soon we're going to have to be deploying carrier pigeons to send shitposts to one another

the only escargot i ever tried was overcooked or something because it was like chewing a delicious buttery eraser

unseasonably cool beans

i got a flannel shirt looks identical to yours, flannel 4 life yo 💪

anyways learned helplessness is a disease that must be combated.

regular in my village is at 165.9 right now, i don't know how people out here can afford the commute to Edmonton anymore 😬

i really hate jk rowling and i really hate the hungry ghosts in charge of thibgs

he died but hell was full and kicked him out and so now he shambles about the realm of the living with an insatiable desire for chaos and turmoil and gold spray-painted decor

Geoffy the cat looking extra cool while watching me microwave coffee

this is the face of a proud warrior who hath slain the evil mouse who was pooping on the kitchen counter! all hail the mighty Geoffy!

my cute kitty Corona holding my finger and pretending to chomp on it with her powerful teeth while we were playing

my cute titan Saturn playfully chewing on his child while they are playing

chat am i cooked?

Coco, a beautiful moggie, is laying belly up in a laundry basket and looking at me with the most cheerful face as we play with an old shoelace :3

🌞

pov looking down at the legs, which be wearing shorts and some heavy ass winter boots, cuz even though it's sunny it's still mostly knee deep snow outside

now that the temperatures are occasionally above 0°C i have deployed my cargo shorts, as is tradition in Canada 😽

DO IT! and for value-added bonus incentive, there's a good chance you will see ME in chat, complaining about my terrible internet connection!

👉WATCH AND WIN, FOR COMMUNISM!👈

can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow? can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier?

have they considered a bucket brigade, maybe using magically conjured brooms?

nostalgia is an insidious disease

It's a picture taken by me from "The Book of Knowledge", it's a bit of comical verse from umm Edward Lear i believe, from a section that's all limericks based on towns and cities in England, and they're pretty terrible imho but people were easily entertained back then because everybody was boofing laudanum like 24/7 and they put cocaine in everything

it's been a blast reading through these early 1900s children's anthologies i dug out of storage, pre-war stuff has this sense of wide-eyed whimsy that seemed to disappear after ~1918 for some reason, mysterious, but that being said, why were they so fucking mean to this weird old man of Melrose?

my other kitty is like that, like a little bodyguard at my heels when i go on walks, but for this guy we got him used to a harness and a long leash back when he was a kitten. nowadays he'd probably be fine off-leash but he's a headstrong dude and there's a lot of coyotes around, so i play it safe

oooh that's a fun concept to work towards! my one potential problem is i'm kind of located at a low point, surrounded by hills and trees, so i might have to do some experimentation/engineering to communicate with nodes closer to civilization

when i was trying out different Linux distros i installed them on bootable USB drives so i could give them a test-drive, i ended up liking Mint the most

i was doing a lot of reading and pondering about meshtastic stuff last month, it's neat!

this is how robot uprisings get started...
