@asya @moonchildontheblueside @pixelcats @soggymulder@fandom.ink BTS’s catalogue is diverse enough that its hard for me to say any sound isn’t definitively “them”

tho i think we do all have personal style preferences within that range—i know D-Day and Indigo are making my year in review but FACE probably wont bc its just not to my personal taste in the same way and thats fine

@pamela yeah the skipped generation bit was super fascinating—no idea what couldve caused it tho (early childhood exposures leading to certain things getting passed down with switches flipped?)

@pamela op has got one fact flipped in their summary—cooler body temps are generally *more* hospitable to viral infections than warmer ones (this is why your body will give itself a fever when trying to kill viruses!) if we’re getting cooler bc of changing immune conditions it would mean our bodies were getting sick less often (eg sanitation has gone up dramatically) rather than our ability to treat going down (which is not necessarily true when you’re talking about a timescale that started during the American Civil War—well pre-penicillin let alone even dreaming of antivirals

anyway, text article on the same topic for anyone who does worse with audiovisual things: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-human-body-temperatures-cooling-down/

@welshpixie is the S silent, or just rhyming as far as the vowels/rhythm go?

@coreo i tend to CW long threads with a subject line so they’re easier to scroll past (you can also put the 1/x counter their to make it easier to keep track) but that ones half because of how random what I usually post is haha

looking forward to seeing what you write!

@coreo thats good to hear! where were you reading it?

@coreo i havent read the novel so it wasnt me, but i *love* the show

@coriander @Lady @aescling cannot believe ive been passed up for takeout

@aescling @coriander @Lady i never was bothered by working until 8 pm but also i only ever worked that late at a job that fed me dinner so

@ysabet haha sometimes a cool enough concept briefly overrides ones actual preferences

i am a fan of both fennel and dill, but neither of them are really flavors where i’m like “what if this but MORE” so I’m not sure I’d actually prefer the pollen versions in practice. But also am vv curious and want to try the new thing 😆

@ysabet oh huh interesting! i wouldn’t have guessed that pollens were more intense than the rest of the plant, flavor-wise (tho usually plants go for strong flavors when they’re trying to keep insects away, which’d make pollination difficult. then again, i suppose you dont want the bees *eating* the pollen haha)

def curious to hear what you make!
