speaking at inside voice level into the void
back in the days of landlines before caller id, a friend once told me she'd received a phone call from a 'heavy breather' who'd asked her to guess what he was holding in his hand, and she'd said "if you can hold it one hand, it's of no use to me"

starting to think my cat believes my hands are two weird 'dudes' who just hang around with me all the time and help me do stuff
If I put them behind my head where he can't see them when he's on my lap, he gets all agitated and looks around and at me in a "where the spider brothers at?" way

pretty smooth cloak per @bransonreese.bsky.social
The ocean-themed mascot Hoya Boya, from Kesenuma City, wears a scallop belt, a sharkskin cloak, and a sea squirt helmet, and he uses a Pacific saury as a sword.

If, on Christmas morning, you feel like you might be having a heart attack, you should def eat a piece of bacon because either:
1) it will be the last thing you ever taste; or (if you survive)
2) it will be the last time they ever let you eat bacon

just told my mother that we probably bought our son too much stuff for Christmas, about three times what I ever got, but we couldn't help ourselves because we love him so much.
She was unfazed.

a largely underrated song lyric by the Divinyls is the closing line to the outro stanza of I Touch Myself:
(I don't want anybody else)
I touch myself, I touch myself
(When I think about you I touch myself)
I honestly do
In case you doubted the singer's integrity

In a rather long thread, poster doesn't actually say where "here" is but from tone seems likely it's hell
I remember I was telling this one american dude that I hate strawberry shortcake here because I dread the taste of the cream. He kept on going on how I had a bad experience BUT I HAVE TRIED EATING VARIOUS SHORTCAKES, THEY ALL TASTE BAD. I JUST HATE THE CREAM THAT IS POPULAR HERE.
