@rowyn @vicorva @andrewt @ljwrites i think the difference for few is whether you have an “a” in front — “a few people agree” clearly implies you mean a small countable number whereas “few people agree” (to me at least lol) does not

@ysabet those both seem like plausible factors! there is also some evidence that holding warm things (like say, a bowl of food) can improve ones mood

@Tabby @xieliansbignaturals i usually get the vanilla ones, which are decent. i’m personally not a fan of the strawberry but ymmv

@twistylittlepassages yeah i mean tbf thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum does not exactly roll off the tongue—i have to re look it up every time

i guess the lesson here is to just try to pick common names that have nothing to do with the scientific name haha

@twistylittlepassages yeah houseplant common names are absolutely rife with taxonomic misclassifications—there are two plants commonly called “split leaf philodendron” and neither of them are philodendrons 😂 (they are also in totally different families from each-other, for bonus confusion)

@twistylittlepassages @greyor@weirder.earth for self hosting, i believe @soph_sol has been using linkding?

@Lady @akjcv yeah idk i just dont talk to people who think they can noncon exposure therapy me

@ElopsineFlotsam@blorbo.social @xieliansbignaturals oh wow thats gutsy! i think if i was an employee there i’d be too boggled to even try to stop him haha

i’m also reminded of the lobster truck car chase that happened in boston a few years back: https://web.archive.org/web/20191218231708/https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2019/12/18/charlestown-lobster-truck-heist/ pretty clearly a crime of impulse more than a well thought out plan but like, apparently a truckfull of lobster is worth like 30k which is a pretty nice haul!
