  • Why does my dog continually want to go and sunbake outside when it's 37 cunt degrees out there? He runs to the door like it's urgent. I am not opening it even with those cute pleading eyes.

    • Yeah, mine's half Mexican, he spent 3 hours last night staring at me for his evening walk.

    • What happens when you let your dog out on a day like this?

      • He sunbakes on the path like a cat. When he's had enough, he knocks on the door to come in. Half an hour later, he wants to go back out. He prefers this:

        But because I have the door shut, he can't sit in his favourite spot.

        Ps. He likes to bird watch.

  • Woohoo, pakige! After inexplicably not getting one for over a decade since leaving home (despite growing up religiously using one), I finally got my own Borner V-slicer. Shipped direct from Germany no less - admittedly using Evil Bezos (I had a gift card).

    I can't wait to slice up the rest of the daikon and carrot for a MUCH better-looking pickle. And then chunky batons of beetroot to make into a curry. And cabbage for a stir fry... no more questionable knifework!

    I only really hope the latest models haven't fallen to enshittification. My mum and aunt have been using their older ones for like 20 years now.

    • I can see myself losing a finger on that contraption.

      • They have apparently made them a lot safer (especially with storage - you can now store all the pieces safely without exposing your fingers to the blades)

        But yeah my grandma absolutely refused to use them back in the day no matter how convenient they are. I've definitely nicked myself in the past.

    • the Borner is the original and best , my mum had one and I remember using it myself to help with the family cooking. I now have one myself , but another brand , and it's indispensable for cutting oranges, lemons and limes for marmalade

    • God that picture brings back memories I tell ya

  • Clicking around a spreadsheet to make it sound like I’m working but I don’t caaaaaaaaaare. 🎶

  • I fucked up the inside of my lip at a show and it's making me fucking miserable. I hate having to swallow half a tube of medijel just to eat...

    While I'm here, if you're a decent person and want to help protect trans rights in Australia after the Qld government decided to fuck over trans kids, come to the state library at 10am this Saturday.

    Link here, should include events in other cities.

  • ~5PM water the plants, enjoying the cool change
    ~7PM go for a walk, enjoying the cool change
    ~9PM get some food, enjoying the c-OH NO THERE'S AN ANT INVASION IN THE KITCHEN

    please send your highest quality thoughts and prayers

    • Equal quantities icing sugar and borax - set out in little aluminium trays where pets/kids can't get to them. Ants will carry the stuff back to the nest and destroy it. Grateful to Sir Lister of Smeg from the other site for this tip - it works well with a bit of repetition.

      • We have a premade ant poison thing which I think is basically the same (I think the active ingredient listed was borax?). After neutralizing all known threat actors terrorizing the local food supply, these measures were deployed to safeguard the civilian population from future unprovoked attacks o7

    • My dudes the dishwasher is not edible leave it alone (they were mostly looking at the pantry cupboard, but a surprising number were chilling in the dishwasher)

  • I'm all 😍 with people's pet pics! Keeping my mind off the fact that I've had an allergic/contact dermatitis reaction to a cream I was using on my facial burns 😭 For a while there I had ouchy annoying weeping burn coupled with OMG I want to scratch my face apart going on. Now have calmed it down a lot, might actually get a good sleep tonight 🥱. That cool breeze through the window is very welcome. I made a bluesky account and have been looking through some stuff. Don't know if it's something I'll do on the regular, but it's interesting until I get sick of it I guess.

    • Glad to hear it's calming down and giving you a bit of a break from that - it's an awful sensation!! I'm spinmeround on bluesky if you wanna follow each other, I don't post much, but it's usually random thoughts, quotes I hear and my thoughts on whatever KDrama I'm watching lol.

  • RIP Troy Selwood.

    AFL Lions player and co captain of the Geelong cats VFL side.

    Gone far too early.

  • Accidentally spilt pvc primer then cement on my hands, then methylated spirits to get that shit off.

    I've never looked so young.

    E hands that is not the face that's an uphill battle.

  • Woke up at 4am due to needing the loo and ended up staying awake for pretty much the rest of the night being cranky about there being so many things I want to do and feeling like I just don’t have the time. Mostly because I’m going into the city for my birthday next weekend and want to do EVERYTHING – places I’ve been, but also try new places.

    Anyone got any fav Can’t Miss This sort of city recs? I’m pretty set on going for at least a drink at Pearl Diver, hopefully Rooftop Bar, maybe some ramen at Snow Monkey, a bakery snack, a walk in gardens, urg, see, there’s too much!

  • Alright, so edibles question. My doc recommended trying gummies which arrived today. They are 10mg thc/10mg CBD. I'm not really across what this equates to in terms of strength... Obviously edibles are slow onset, but how strong is this going to end up being in comparison to other methods of consuming (smoking, vaping etc).... I've had edibles exactly once 25 years ago, and they tasted so nice that I did the have way too much thing. Not wanting that to happen with these....

    • I'm a very regular edible consumer. For me, it's 45 minutes after dosing to start feeling the effects, 90 minutes to actually feel stoned, and a few hours before it starts wearing off. Quite a different experience to inhaled THC. My regular dose is between 5mg to 10mg, definitely feel toasted but it's comfortable and pleasant.

      If I got your script I would start at a third of a gummy and see how I felt, before increasing if needed over different sessions on following days.

    • Try one out on the weekend at home then you'll get an idea of strength and how long it last etc.

  • I opened the windows upstairs, hopefully the through air current will cool it down .

    Done 2 loads of washing and some tidying but finding it hard to get motivated.
