I could lie beneath cherry blossom trees forever (or at least for however long they bloom)🌸

Pigeon-cannot-fit-in-hole-principle: When n pigeons are put into m containers with n > m, then every container must fit at least one pigeon.

Does this win me a mathematics award?

This pigeon doesn’t seem to be a good candidate for being put into a container…

That awkward moment when you’re chopping food in the kitchen and a neighbor walks by, so you wave at them — only to then discover that you’ve been waving at them with a massive knife instead of a hand.

There’s nothing quite like watching your best friend enjoy the first sunny days of the year 🥰 #dogs

Can we replace the “a needle in a haystack” expression with “a bay leaf in a stew”? I never lose any needles in haystacks, but I always lose bay leaves in stews.

I also insist that everyone keep their doors unlocked in case I ever need to save them from something.

The mute hashtag feature here on #bsky has so much potential. If I add #myusername-topic hashtags to my posts, people can mute specific topics I post about without muting them network-wide (just by clicking on the tag). No more worrying about spamming people with things that do not interest them.

Am I the only one annoyed by AI code completion tools? I find myself growling at the computer more often than I do without them.
