I don’t get the metal on metal reference, sorry… Is that an imagery you want tattooed?

I don’t know if a tattoo is material… I guess the ink is, so I’ll go with that.

Before coming of age I had plenty of ideas that I would be slightly embarrassed of today (and being slightly embarrassed is, as we know, the worst possible outcome with tattoos from a past you’ve outgrown).

I’ve changed my mind enough over time that I now know I could never decide on a permanent design. But right now I’m really into face spiders. Hopefully that notion fades by the time I feel secure enough in my career to do face spiders…

Tough to differentiate bots that only vote from human lurkers who only vote.

You can set up and win most bets or chicken races with illusions.

Like throw an illusionary pile of feed off of the path of your opponents chicken, so it’ll be distracted by it and let your chicken win.

Winning a bet can win you anything: from a free chicken dinner for your party, to getting into a party for free.

Your body give you an hour long relaxing shower, or the opportunity for continental breakfast at home before leaving. Generous body!

I can sense when it’s time to wake up, while asleep.

It’s likely just confirmation bias, but I almost always wake up minutes before my alarm if I have a stressful or unusual appointment, like an early flight or interview.

I assume most people has this with their routine wake-up time, that the body learns when to wake up right on time… but this is like: if I usually wake up at 8:30 but now have to wake up 5:45 or 6:15 or whatever, I’ll wake up on my own right before the alarm goes off. I just need to think about it somewhat thoroughly (wake-up time and approx. how many hour of sleep until then) before falling asleep.

Same with dairy. I never enjoyed a glass of plain milk, and after switching to dairy free options for milk I also found that vegan cream, ice cream, butter etc doesn’t have that “off” subtaste. The difference with non-dairy really highlighted how badly dairy makes me want to rinse my mouth.

Cool! My sink was small enough that I’d fill it thrice while washing under the tap haha. Now I have a washing machine and won’t be going back.

Yeah true!

Thanks, I was wondering what to waste my weekend on this time around!

Wouldn’t the first batch of lukewarm water just be used for the prewash/rinse cycle? So it doesn’t matter if it’s fully hot yet or not.

That’s like the second most wasteful way of washing dishes, with the most wasteful being the same thing but not turning the tap off while scrubbing.

Well, presuming you have enough wares for a full wash. Filling the sink for just one plate would be unnecessary…

You can plug the sink and wash with your current tap method and see how many dishes it takes to fill the sink with water - that’s how many you need to collect to save water with the sink method.

If you want a variety of fruits included fridge unfriendly ones:

Could you keep a bunch of fruit at work instead of bringing one each day?

Or keep a picture of fruit in the fridge with your lunch and trade it for the fruit when you pack your bag so you don’t forget it?

I put it in the fridge to keep from overripening. Rarely buy underripe bananas.

What?

That’s definitely bullying behaviour. I don’t know exactly what you’re asking. Bullying can range from ignoring or talking behind someone’s back, to physical assault. They are not average experiences, especially being a repeated event, in normal friendships and relationships.

Several actions included in bullying are also criminal offenses, and needs to be taken way more seriously by the adult world - not minimised, labeled “bullying” and nothing more being done about it. If someone physically assaults someone else, there should always be a police report filed because then social services will be informed if the attacker is too young to be criminally responsible. Even if it just words and threats, or stealing or destroying someone else’s items.

I second the horror/scary movie trope suggestion. PCs being the hunted instead of the hunters means that the DM can keep the pacing tight and not getting derailed, as the enemy will find them wherever they go until they die or escape (or defeat the monster).

If you place them in a contained area where they have explore to find a way out, they can lay traps to slow down (or defeat) the monster, they can find clues as to the monsters strength or weakness, they can try to hide when they hear the monster drawing neat, they can find slightly helpful items (batteries that can be used for a flashlight or in a baby monitor as an early warning system, slippers for better sneaking but worse running, vodka for temporary HP but worse constitution, scissors or letter openers to distract in close combat for a chance to escape) but not straight up weapons, they can take damage to deal damage, or take damage to escape whenever they get found. The monster will let them think they’ve gotten away but they’ll never be safe, it will always find them while they’re in this location.

The goal can be survive until sunrise, or try to get as many people out of the haunted house as possible, or survive/beat a set amount of the attractions at a demons fair to be released. It’ll be lika a hit+run or cat+mouse game.

Well… YOU could read papers. YOU could look up from your phone and notice the flyers.

The possibilities are there. There are other ways to get info about local events than from fb. You don’t have to wait for everyone else to pick up a paper.

Ps. I have plenty of friends and involvement, which most of my current social circle I gathered after moving alone to a new city, without using social media. I lost a lot of acquaintances by leaving fb, but none that I actually miss. My friends are the ones I put effort into keeping in touch with.

People exist offline. We’ve done so for millennia, and still do.

I have a local newspaper subscription that often have articles/info and/or ads for local shows and festivals - one can even go to the library to read it every day for free if paying isn’t in one’s budget (but I like paying for it, it’s a lot of fluff but sometimes they dig up something about how my city is being managed or mismanaged, and they have shone a light on a few desperately needed changes in local government).

I also know most venues in the area that host small bands and can check their website or get their newsletter through email.

There’s also flyers being taped up at the store, library and on maintenance boxes and poles around town for current events and activities (that’s how I found my knitting club!).

There are probably ticket vendors where you can flag certain bands or venues or maybe genres and get an email when something is booked in your area.

Just walking my city, talking to people, looking in shops and venues, and being present outside I get a ton of info about local events. I don’t miss FB. I don’t need a global mega-site to tell me what’s happening outside my own door.
