The main big red one is clearly an ice block (aka popsicle, water ice).

There is an elephant scooping something creamy with their trunk, but there are dairy-free soft serves as well. They're called sorbet, and can be made from flavouring water, or from fruit puree.

A lot of Europe charges to use them though, whoch i find weird. Imo they should be funded by public budgets the way libraries, school buses, roads etc are.

Like, of ya gotta pee, ya gotta pee. If you gotta pee and you don't have any Euros on you, what else are you supposed to fucking do?? Literally what are your options at that point?

I'm sure some people would do this anyway but I suspect a lot of them can't/won't pay for a public toilet and aren't close enough to a private one. It's a UX issue

Probably doesn't need as much intestine as we do, so the length of that tube is sufficient. Or perhaps most of the ingestion is done in the stomach.

Or the diagram coyld be simplified for illustrative purposes, like how our human models focus on internal organs and dont often draw, say, the visceral sack they sit in, and the webbing that weaves our organs together so precisely that surgeons can jiggle us on the table to slot them back into their places.

And yeah, that is where the snail anus is...

The thing is that this chair is so good that I've had it for years and the pneumatics still so no sign of wear. So I couldn't find a link for you, the retailer I got it from is lone gone. (Also you probably don't live on the same island as me.)

But I can see the emblem on the back indicating the brand is GTCHAIR, so I guess check their range for full mesh ergonomic? I forget how many adjustment points mine boasts, I want to say 9... also has a lumbar support piece, which goes great with the height-adjustable back

Ditched gaming chairs, got an ergonomic office chair with several adjustment points.

It's mesh seat and back, so its breathable in summer, gentle and supportive. I sit upright with no back pain. I lock it in place upright if I'm not using the armrests (eg: controller). Comfortable enough you quickly forget its even there, which is what you actually want in your practical furniture.

Every 'gaming' chair I've used cost almost as much, was a sticky pleather mess that flaked within months, pneumatics shot within a year, weird 'racecar' leaning back, fucked up my neck. But hey, at least it was in garish pointless colours? (Also, fuck those chairs that have the little 'edges', are they supposed to cup me in my seat Luke a cot? Because they get in the way).

I will never game in a gaming chair again. Quality ergonomic office chairs are DESIGNED for sitting in for hours at a time, and it shows. I've converted several others now.

My friends Blackjack and Hookers server has two channels, so all the conversation and news is in #shitposting

I love DeArrow so much. Best addon I've ever donated to, very worth it

My favourite colour is bright orange, like candy. Followed by bright yellow, like canary feathers.

The colour I hate is the nasty pumpkin-flesh yellow-orange ochre that exists between them.

Probably makes me hard to buy for that people think they're getting me a nice orange thing in 'my favourite colour' 🤮

I love spicy food, but my mum can't even handle black pepper. Lol. Lmao even

AI is propped up by investors. Always promising the.next big thing is just around the corner. The money is pouring in from other wealthy people...let's be real us common folk rarely if ever pay for AI. Its businesses doing that

but one day those investors will expect a return, so AI is being shoved in everything in the hopes of finding a use case that is actually profitable

As in, the desired results arent permanent. I'll edit to rephrase.

Yet the big changes typically aren't the cosmetic surgery, they're the damage. Either literally, or an attempt to treat it.

They might remove some cheek fat, but even that is them trying to catch up: because degraded filler makes their face look puffy and their lips ill-defined.

The filler is spread put around their cells regardless. It is impossible to remove. As is any muscular damage from long-term paralysis.

And yes, agreed. Reconstructive plastic surgery has lower risk, but when it comes to soft tissue cosmetic surgery, the only winning move is not to play.

It's largely incidental.

Soft-tissue cosmetic surgery doesn't last. They're foreign objects in the body, so over time your body tries to break them down. Lip filler slowly diffuses around the bottom of your face, for example. Botox paralysing muscles affects strength and elasticity.

So it's a cursed treadmill. You can't stop getting surgery once you start. A single surgery will look worse than your unaltered face if you only have one, so every few years you have to get it again.

But.. all the old stuff is still in there. The muscle damage accumulates. The filler accumulates, and is impossible to remove. You might remove some of your own tissue to 'reshape' as it gets more advanced, but many just 'top up'.

Either way, you are permanently altered. They don't choose to look like this, they choose to make minor adjustments to look younger/hotter/etc that slowly turn them into this.

You cam see the weekends. Even after school is out and the students aren't using it, Mon-Fri office works clearly still are.

My ebike is Gusteau (Gusto), or Gus.

They're called sleepphones and yes, they're designed for side sleeping. Basically a headband with speakers. Each speaker is like a C battery, stitched into layers of felt.

The Bluetooth version has a silicon casing with a folding crease in it, to keep it flexible, but it's several inches long and doesn't seem to last long before I get whining. Idk how much of that is Bluetooth degradation vs the receiver's wear and tear from folding or being lied on. It needs regular recharging (micro USB, or i think they have a cordless charge version).

The 3.5mm has a long braided cord, has never whined, and doesn't have the chunky Bluetooth receiver. It gets charge from the phone. I always know I can use it when I want to.

Sleepphones also sells replaceable parts piecemeal so you can get just a band, just speakers, just BT unit etc.

Aww geez man, that's even worse! I learned about adapters and figured I'd at least be able to tolerate (but resent) the switch. But that will prevent me using sleeping headphones at all... :/

Definitely the jack. I have special headphones for listening to white noise while sleeping. The Bluetooth version have a chunky panel, and don't last long before they get that Bluetooth whine. That whine is a deal-breaker is a sleep aid.

So I use the 3.5mm version.... if I use the charge port converted to a Jack, I can't charge my phone while I listen to white noise and I'll wake up to 6%. Rhe loss or the jack is why I haven't upgraded my phone in years.

They were talking about the dangers of negligence. You countered with how guns can be relatively safe if one follows safety guidelines.

The 'negligence' part is referring to those that don't follow guides. By listing all the guides and rules to make guns safe, they probably mean you prove their point by showing the burden of responsibility guns require (and thus the risk when irresponsible people don't meet them).

Well, it's definitely making me gay. 🏳️‍🌈

Ngl I suspect a smaller brand using sneaky bait and switch
