  • What's an animal that would be cool if we could domesticate to the level of companion animal, like dogs.

    Jump

  • I would love having a squirrel as pet. Unfortunately most squirrel types don't do well in captivity because they are too anxious. I nursed a baby squirrel once as a volunteer and it would just sleep in my shirt pocket or bra and be the cutest little thing until it was old enough to start learning to be a wild squirrel.

  • Gotta stay focused on my macros

    Jump

  • Not to say fiber isn't important, but I feel like the high protein crowd is making a shift to fibermaxxing and we will have stupid (ultraprocessed) high fiber products pushed to us instead of high protein soon. Unfortunately there is little money to be made on us all eating our fruit and veggies.

  • Gotta stay focused on my macros

    Jump

  • When we feel out of control we often hyperfocus on something we can (somewhat) control, like diet.

  • Bring Both Coats? Wrong!

    Jump

  • I live on a steep hill, every season except high summer is wrong coat season. -10 C outdoors, I still get too hot on the way up in my wintercoat. Right now we are at sweater and light jacket down, shirt up season.

  • What European language learning app do you prefer? Babbel (German), Memrise (UK), Mondly (Romania), etc.?

    Jump

  • Duolingo is american. They also showed pro-israel ads.

  • dog people are totally delusional

    Jump

  • In my experience dog people are mostly friendly, love spending time outdoors and are only slightly awkward when saying hello to your dog instead of you. If the worst thing about me (a dog person) is that I sometimes fantasize aloud about my dog's very human feelings I feel I can live with that.

  • Unattainable standards

    Jump

  • At some point it becomes so much work and so little time for bonding you go from having pets to running a shelter. I think my limit would be 5 dogs.

  • Fast and furious

    Jump

  • For me it is also any advantage I can get to keep up with my boyfriend. No competition, just hoping he feels slightly out of breath when I am panting for air. Unfortunately he is the weaker one in a group of bike friends too, so he also tries to optimize as much as possible.

  • Fast and furious

    Jump

  • I'm slightly convinced that for everyone under pro levels this is all just placebo. But I still shave my legs and if I had the money I would buy all the cool stuff.

  • Can too many hits to the head make a person the R word in animals? My bc loves to run around the house and hits his head constantly but shakes it off. He acts normal and everything exceept4 zoomies?

    Jump

  • I heard of a dog in our local dog park who ran into a stone bench so hard he broke his skull and died, so please try to teach your dog not to do that. If you reward his head hitting behavior by taking him for a walk he will keep doing it. Try to teach him something else instead, easiest is that he has to stop hitting his head, give you a paw and only then do you take the leash. Eventually (hopefully) he will paw at you instead if running into stuff when he wants to go out.

  • (serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.

    Jump

  • The point is that if there weren't a lot of cars around you would probably not be living the way you are living now.

  • Society is starting to appropriately accommodate neurodivergence, yet stupid/idiot/crazy/lazy etc. stay in the vocabulary.

    Jump

  • Noone calls anyone stupid, lazy or insane in an attempt to accurately describe them. They are all insults used on normal AND neurodivergent people or to describe "bad" behavior.

    Also, occasionally I might make a stupid choice. And I know it is harder for me to make the right choice because of how my brain is wired, but it is still objectively the stupid choice and I knowingly show stupid behavior. Although I might have compassion for myself because of my neurodivergence, it doesn't change the fact that my behavior is stupid.

  • Polymarket needs some serious regulation.

    Jump

  • My innocent european ass has never heard of money plane or polymarket before.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

    Jump

  • I actually like geology. But yeah, my main interest is moleculair biology. The thought that so many interesting things are happening in every cell of my body all the time just to keep me alive is so much more interesting to me than stars exploding.

  • Woof woof rule

    Jump

  • I don't understand people that let their dog bark uncontrolled. My dog wants to bark at cats, the one neighbor he doesn't like and at ambulances and churchbells. We would never let him out after 10 pm or before 7 am for that reason alone and during the day we try to silence him (he knows the silence command, and when he ignores it he loses his outdoor privilege for the hour). We have a dog down the road that is chained up in the yard all day and night and barks at passersby all the time. This week the house nextdoor was sold and I feel so bad for the new homeowners.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

    Jump

  • Space science. I'm well educated with lots of nerdy friends, and I should know the basics of physics concerning planets and stuff. But I don't and I refuse to.

  • Polymarket needs some serious regulation.

    Jump

  • Wait.. why the fuck is there a betting site where you can bet on wars starting. What in the immoral fuck is that even about?

  • After all these years, it's hard to believe it's gone.

    Jump

  • My boyfriend and I share a spotify account and when one of us notices the other one is listening we insert the song into the queue. Most of the time my boyfriend doesn't even notice he is getting rickrolled.

  • Have you ever traveled solo? How was your experience?

    Jump

  • It's a great experience! I did a lot of solo travelling by train, bike or even hiking as a girl of 17-25 years old in europe. In my experience 99% of people are super nice and helpful and most people that weren't had an issue with me not speaking the local language or were drunk at the time (daydrinkers, I did not go out to clubs or cafes at night on my own). Italy was the only place where I constantly felt unsafe as a woman, and they unfortunately have a bad record. Other countries I visited include czech republic, romania, hungary, austria, france, spain, belgium, germany and the uk, with no issues (I'm dutch).

    Some considerations: While travelling you have noone to watch your bags, so make sure your luggage fits with you in a toilet stall and that you can store your bags somewhere the moment you get someplace. Travelling as light as possible improves the whole experience. There will be a lot of lonely time especially while travelling between places/hostels, so bring a good book or podcast, but also be prepared to enter into random conversations with strangers. With stuff like train delays that are only announced in the native language, it's good if you have the confidence to ask around for help.
