Discussion Thread 🐝 Wednesday 10 December 2025

I was cooking some bacon rind and it managed to spit hard enough it jumped right out of the pan, and I was miraculously able to catch it with my tongs.

Whoever was in charge of the slicer in the deli for the bacon went a bit wild. I few slices were a bit mangled and one was so thick on one side it's almost a steak. The dodgiest pieces got allocated to be chopped up and browned for future salad sprinkles. Some of the rest went to my breakfast muffin prouction line. Just two more eggs to be cooked and I'll have half a dozen muffins in the freezer for future breakfasts. I've done half with bacon and half with thin beef & pork burgers (that actually started as meatballs before I squished them). The cheese was also a bit wildly sliced, but once it's melted on the muffins no one will be able to tell.

My upset belly err... Developed. I will tomorrow off 🥲

Melbcat saw the specialist and they’ll be working out if things can go ahead.

Too much fucking work this close to christmas, this is buuuuulllshiiiiiit

My cats are in jail for a bit. The white one is Bill Cat the Warden.

Looks like a cat resort tbh
White cat. Probs deaf doesn't need to hear any of our shit.

@SaneMartigan@aussie.zone I read out what you wrote to my dad and he is now massaging the extensor compartment of his forearm with a deodorant can and a massage roller. Also has the forearm strap on.

Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it.

Are you a physio perchance?

I've got a myotherapy degree I don't use much so I'm happy to see someone get some value from it.
He should consider using the rounded edge corner on the base of the deodorant can to work the muscles rather than any rolling pin type motion. It's using the gua-sha technique from Chinese medicine about scraping the tissue. Its said to help release fascial adhesions / attachments which there are a lot of in the forearm because there are many little muscles than can sort of stick to each other. I don't have any science to reference that to, another reason why I'm not working in the field.

Why, brain, must you continue to be a night owl, despite waking up at 6am everyday this week?

Whyyyyyyyyy

Opened Tik Toxic this morning and there was just a box asking if I'm over 16. Tapped yes. Nothing else happened.

Saturday night is staff Xmas dinner. Hoping to get some time with the directors.

Data entry all day wasn't what I signed up for.

Is it well paid data entry?
- It's not bad admittedly. Just mind numbing.

🎵 Nugs and salad, eating nugs and salad…🎵

I read this to "makin bacon pancakes, bacon pancakes, makin bacon pancakes"
The reference https://youtube.com/shorts/8TwxwCgXAEc
- Nailed it
I had polenta-crumbed chicken and salad. Not as catchybbut yum

I've had dreams of chicken soup. No energy to procure ingredients for chicken soup, and I still have to do the dishes anyway.

WOE! WOE IS ME!

If you've got someone you can coopt into a Woolies run for you the Dari brand of soups is really yum and pretty natural ingredients..I lived on the chicken soup and the lentil soup when I had the 'rona. In the fridge section
- Partner is feeling better so he's going to brave the O U T S I D E and return with chicken soup ingredients. He's the type to cook something rather than but pre-made, regardless of how sick he might be 😂 never been so spoiled in my life lol

Dammit, my upper back has broken out in a rash of little angry pimples. Non-productive, a dozen or so, it feels like I've been sunburned. boo.

I propose having your new gf come over and give it a good scrub in the shower 😂
Sounds like an allergic reaction or have you been waxed lately?
- I reckon it's just regular sucky pimples.
Is it on one side only? Shingles can start as an itchy, pimply rash along the nerve pathways
- Nah it's broad.

Anyone have need for an expensive and oddly slutty looking Baguette bag? As in, a bag specifically made to hold one (1) baguette.

Saw it on a very sponsored Concrete Playground post from here

I take that to a Eurotrash rave and wear it as a cock-sock
Don’t need the bag, but I definitely need the $1220 cushion (/s)
Would a wine bottle fit inside?
I feel like they misplaced the decimal point there. 😶

Still here, thank Molly?

I haven't had any age verification requests across any platforms that I use. The only way I really know about the ban is seeing discussions here (I did message Molly though). But given I'm here, fb, insta, twitch, reddit, YT, discord... though I guess some of my accounts are so old they probably automatically pass.
- The email I got from reddit about it essentially just said: if we find out you're 16, you'll be banned. Nothing about proactively providing anything to prove you're over 16

Been sleeping so badly and realised that yesterday I opened a spam email attachment on my phone 🫩 I’m hoping that an up to date iPhone will protect me but that was really dumb.

Debating whether I should call my bank. Getting my cards changed will be a massive hassle so close to Xmas but so could the alternative…

Lately I’m struggling and just not with it.

Sleep has been obtained and I'm on my second cup of coffee. To Do List for today: Get dressed and take Mr Woof out for out daily stroll. Mow the lawn in the back garden. Sort out the stuff left in the fridge before grocery delivery tomorrow. There's not much left to deal with, but I might pickle the remaining mushrooms and freeze some cauliflower. The kiwi fruit can go in the freezer for a future chutney. They top the list for fruit I am most likely to buy and not actually eat, but they are fortunately also high on my preferred chutney ingredient list.

I had an awful lot of disjointed nightmares last night. Not feeling well rested today

Weird Sleep Gang Rise Up!
- I went to be at 9pm hoping for extra sleep. Woke at 3am. :-|
Also awful night sleep 😭 I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom with stomach issues... and couldnt get back to sleep properly

Interesting to see that X (formerly Twitter) has settled on "Account creation date: If an account was created in 2014 or earlier." as one of the signals that an account holder is 16 or older.

If you do the maths, anyone that created an X (formerly Twitter) account on their thirteenth birthday in 2014 would be about 24 now. That's quite a conservative eight years safety margin. Nothing too interesting, just a curiosity.

I got some really nice looking cheese an jalapeño English muffins from the markets on Sunday. Egg and bacon muffins are an obvious option, but what are other good savoury options to enjoy them?

Double down on the theme. Cottage cheese and jalapenos! I used to eat just cottage cheese and jalapenos in a little bowl as a snack 🥵🤤
Another option, just butter, a thick slice of tomato and salt and pepper (optional cheese on top and then grilled/ovened to melt, optional avocado).
- Just extra cheese and jalapenos sounds good, and I was thinking that with the cheese and tomato as well.
  I have some vision of sour cream with the chopped spring onions and some melted cheese, pretty much like what they put on the cottage fries at pancake parlour. I've already had one but I need to think fast on other ideas so I get through all of them.
