Going to read this now, but I initially misread the title as “Adios Neophytos” and thought it was a report on the death of a modern hermit, and was quite excited to read about modern hermits… Mainly hoping there was a good way to get into hermiting nowadays

Damn, 5 bucks? I’d assume 50 today. Honestly, I like it

That makes sense, it’s just blowing my American mind, where an urn on the mantle is extremely commonplace. My brother and I both an urn with our mother’s remains, for instance.

Really? So you can’t keep the remains/an urn of their ashes? Does that also apply to things like when they make gemstones from ashes?

Just woke up, still half asleep, didn’t have my glasses on yet. Straight up thought those were cows for a moment, and that this man was so fucking tall that it legitimately startled me a bit

This one made me sad for Majel Barrett all over again :(

It’s just fucking fun

I’m a terrible judge of size, I’d need to get hands (or mouths or butts) on to get an idea ;p

Frankly? Still probably wouldn’t be my worst night :p

Also, are we talking literal albino rat sized, or proportionally albino rat sized?

Frankly, either way. All dicks are fun

We do not talk about what Barney was doing during the 1940s.

Thought the same thing when I saw the headline the first time. Augmented smallpox virus to finish off the Ukrainians escaped containment is my guess.

Honestly, given that jaw clearance comment, I’d love the opportunity to prove you wrong, and if you don’t like it, I gotta’nother option for ya

Damn, GG was CEO of a fossil fuel company? or a billionaire?

Unpopular opinion, but this is right and good.

I do think we should be using the metric system, but I think three stacked footballs, or whatever the fuck makes it easier for people to visualize it, is a good thing. Some of us just don’t have brains geared toward hearing an arbitrary number and visualizing that size in real terms.

So, yeah, right 30cm, and show me a damn football, or two dollar bills, or a cake pan, or whatever i may have that can help me actually visualize the size.

I feel so seen 💖

I don’t like being looked at 💖

I don’t know why, but I’ve always quite liked Thursdays. It’s a nice day. I don’t do anything in particular, it’s just a nice day, especially when I was a kid and homeschooled and didn’t have a traditional schedule.

Suggestion: a North American Reorganization Council. All the nations in North America have a chat, we decide what bits of land are going to belong to what countries based on the desires of the people who live there, indigenous folks get their land back and weigh in with actual weight to their desires, and every individual gets to straight up just move wherever they want, and please just let me leave this country, okay?

Occasionally, as a ridiculous treat for the family, I make A Full Southern. It’s a full English, but I swap out the black pudding for grits. It’s a big hit

At no point did I say more women were murdered by the death penalty. I rhetorically inquired why the courts have such a hard on for killing this singular individual woman

Gonna just leave that there, because I genuine don’t want to get into why you were so quick to jump to the phrasing you used, or make assumptions about you based on that.
