I have four supermarkets in a radius of about 500 metres. Not only do I regularly walk, I pretty much buy only what I need for a few days, safe in the knowledge that if I need something now, I can be out & back in under half an hour, also knowing that most supermarkets here are reliably stocked with just what I need.
On a less related note, I did not expect to see this meme format in 2025. Not that I mind tho ^^
Shh shh shh, don’t give them ideas.
Someone in this little thread be like:
A suit of plate armour, and maybe a shield or a weapon.
Getting real SAO Abridged vibes here
Next step: roll this out over the internet.
Actually, scratch that, that would make some teenage-run Discord servers become online Fight Clubs.
Or if you’re like me and see a thread, be all like “Oh, that could be interesting, I’ll check that later,” and put your phone away for a few hours, and then, when you finally get to check the thread again, and refresh it just to be up to date, you see it’s been permanently deleted…
Nah. At that point it only looks stupid.
As far as I know, UK English also uses the spelling Battery.
They are, in fact, the very model of a modern major general!
They have information vegetable, animal and mineral!

2·2 months agoYou’re still working, but if the boss has come to rely on you going above and beyond, it’s basically not working anymore.
Doing exactly what your job description entails, to the letter, to specified standards, nothing less and nothing more. No going above and beyond. Way too many places demand 110, 150, maybe even 200 percent of what you can deliver. Working to rule means you deliver exactly 100 percent.
To the place- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD
ASCII was originally a 7-bit standard. If you type in ASCII on an 8-bit system, every leading bit is always
0.(Edited to specify context)
At least ASCII is forward compatible with UTF-8

Would I consider that on par with how the Tarantula Hawk Wasp reproduces?
For those not in the know:
Consider yourself warned.
Tarantula Hawk Wasp mothers find themselves a tarantula - yep, a Hugh Jazz spider - and inject venom into the spider, instantly paralysing it. They then drag the paralysed but fully conscious spider to an underground hole, where they lay an egg on the spider. Her mission complete, momma flies off to do fuck knows what, leaving the paralysed spider behind with
a ticking time bombher egg.A few days later, that egg hatches, and the larva, seeing a perfectly tasty meal nearby, digs into the spider, eating it from the inside out, purposely avoiding vital organs to keep them alive as long as possible - while, again, the spider is fully aware what’s going on and completely powerless to do anything.
Yes, they’re native to Australia. Why’d you ask?
They’re also native to a few other places, Europe one of the few places they’re not native.Scratch this potentially, turns out my source doesn’t state this.
