working really hard on shaking people by the shoulders through the internet

people will already ignore half the questions you ask in an e-mail even if you make them into bullet points

where “/s”

put a triple the height column right there - luck to get an interview in the first place. You’re lucky if an actual human reads your CV nowadays, instead of an AI fishing for keywords

in most places it’s legal to buy and have the mycelium itself but it’s illegal to let it grow

so many online shops that very clearly are not for scientists with a lil disclaimer somewhere saying “please do not make drugs out of this, this is purely for looking at through a microscope for all the amateur mycologists :))))”

unless you want to grow them yourself, then they require the most sterile environment

in the wild tho? yeah cow shit will do :)

tl;dr once upon a time everyone spelled words guided only by vibes, then spelling was standardised-ish, then after that there was a great vowel shift where the now standard-ish spelling became less intuitive. add the linguistic influence from French and latin (sprinkle in some germanic & a pinch of skandinavian), add the power balance between classes favouring fancier words (the nobles ate pork, beef, poultry, the peasants tended to pigs, cows, chickens). add some more stuff and there you go! a “functional” language of Anglonic Britonic English!

“apple” used to be a generic term for fruit. So it’s actually “fruit of the earth”, the French are poetic like that

so hang on, mushrooms are like uh, well not milk, but as if say a cow regrew its meat every season? or maybe like a lizard that regrows its tail?

mushrooms are weird, man

wild idea, would it be possible to hijack mycelium with animal DNA and make it grow mushroom shaped meat??

at least welsh and polish actually read the letters that we write down, unlike some languages

I’ll take 8pm vacuuming over 8am vacuuming any day

istg i have to write those words into every reply i give. Do people even read the words i write? Can they read? Should i give up?

😔 whack

fuck it’s so hard to resist the urge to mimic (though probably poorly) the writing style of the book i’m currently reading shakes fist at neuroplasticity

can i see a flowchart of that please? it’s 4am

but forgot a button hole, we can still fight them, though the battles are getting harder

is occasionally going feral and unhinged still something that proves i’m a human on the Internet? or has my job been taken again? :(

i already do, dronification kink represent, but at least make those search results spicier in their content!

no please stop, i’m so tired of googling kinky stuff, seeing a spicy looking result and opening it just to see some computer server stuff pick something else idk maybe capitalist & worker, bonus points for political commentary

Well yea it’s the same thing to me. The built in browser adblocker is great but never fast enough to block google’s (and especially youtube’s) bullshit attempts at trying to shove ads into our faces
