I did not - is it suitably Lovecraftian?
Can’t say I’ve ever seen that done before but it is surprisingly effective.

🤔 Seen this?
Turn one of the two bollocks into a home office and have the other bollock for a bedroom. Just not sure if I’d want to sleep in the top bollock or the bottom bollock, though.
Depends on your bladder. Bottom bollock bedroom gives quick privy access.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your day or is your day over?
5·1 year agoIt depends on the severity.
- If you are touching cloth, then it is a shart and should be relatively well contained. You just need to clean-up and perhaps discreetly dispose of your undercrackers.
- If you are touching socks, then the world has dropped out of your bottom and is pretty disastrous as everything is contaminated. You also have a larger problem as this would suggest you have food poisoning or some kind of illness and this is just the start of your problems. When I was in hospital the guy opposite me got C. difficile and the result was unexpected and borderline volcanic - that wasn’t just a bad day, it was a bad week.
My folks were great and I miss them a lot.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Chinese people and China enjoyers, what movies/series/cartoons from China would you absolutely recommend?
4·1 year agoI’m a big fan of the Hong Kong New Wave in cinema. It’s also a handy entrance to wider Chinese films - if you like a director or actor or type of film, there are a lot more to find if you start digging.
Go and see your GP. It wasn’t a heart attack but it was a wake up call and I don’t think jumping to seeing a cardiologist will be that helpful, although a GP can refer you on if they think you need it.
I was in the foothills of heart health problems - high BP, cholesterol creeping up, etc. and the health staff were starting to express concern (suggesting I might need to go on statins). So I turned it around in two years and at my last health check my weight and bloods were all “perfect” according to the nurse. So it is doable.
However, from what you say, mental health issues may be holding you back and making important and sweeping changes to your lifestyle require effort and focus. So the GP may want to get this addressed while starting to monitor your health through regular checks. I found the checks motivating in themselves as the data can really prod you into action because you no longer can say you are probably unhealthy - it is there in stark numbers. I also suspect I was slightly gamifying it as I made beating the numbers a focus and figuring out what I needed to do to adjust each on (as lowering triglyceride levels requires different action to lowering LDL, bad cholesterol). I even made a spreadsheet.
in what I sickeningly term a “man cave”
Would you prefer “mannex”?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•The best thing you can do for the fediverse is just be kindEnglish
4·1 year ago@Cris_Color@lemmy.world being nice helps establish the “tone”, but I’m not sure that wouldn’t change with another “API event” on Reddit that results in another, larger mass migration.
The way I see it - the early adopters set the tone of a place and new arrivals are more likely to adopt that approach. So it is important to be kind now, so people will be kind later.
