If anyone ever needs a comically short USB-C cable just let me know because apparently every item I've ever purchased came with one so I have about 200,000 of them. just peeled a banana and there was a tiny USB-C cable in there

trying to google whether you can actually flush wet wipes feels like one of those "one of us always lies the other always tells the truth" riddles

Mostly stupid podcasts that cater to left leaning very online men, but not chapo, oddly, but I've recently got into @justthezooofus.bsky.social because I think they're hit the nail on the head when it comes to banter, something many nature podcasts fail at.

People with kids in school: is homework less common now than it used to be? I used to have daily or weekly homework in nearly every class, but my 6th grader has had probably between 5 - 10 homework assignments his entire life. Every teacher he's had doesn't assign homework. Is this widespread?

@justthezooofus.bsky.social I loved your kinkajou episode! I volunteer at a sanctuary known for wildcats that cares for other carnivorans, including kinks. On our aggression scale (for safety protocols), they are rated the same as tigers. Thanks for so clearly explaining why they make awful pets!

So I help @elksneedle.bsky.social edit her other show Spellbound & Gagged, and we recorded an episode together where we discuss Dark Patterns in Video Games! It's super fascinating and I'm real proud of it so give it a listen!

My entire career. I started a podcast as a hobby with no media experience, no connections, just a mic and some free time. Built an audience, met collaborators and made friends purely through social media. Now science communication is my actual job that I get paid to do
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

website: "great thanks! here's that article you asked for (which you are about to realize is obviously ai-generated with a fake author)"

The project 2025 thing is like how toddlers will hide just their face and go "I'm not heeere!" & you're like "i can see you. You're right there" & they're like "no I'm nooot" & then they jump out like "Ha! I tricked you! I WAS right here!" Like yall weren't making direct eye contact the entire time
