Yep, this is a junk drawer at its nascent stage.

My mother got into the pampered chef selling bulldonkey when I was young, and despite the dozens of items we got from them, only four really stood out, and she still has three of them. The ice cream scoop (how hard is it to make a shaped chunk of metal, after all), the kitchen shears (which were actually good quality), the slap-chop before there was a slap-chop brand (the one that is now missing/broken), and the kitchen organizer thing for the countertop: pic related. It was great for the longer shaped things, like some of what you have in the drawer. If the drawer bothers you that much, consider something that goes on the countertop or on the wall (or even a hanging pot organizer, which I love above a kitchen island.

That was a great movie, and I had forgotten about it until now. Thanks for the memory jog.

The 'not significant' part could be due to low numbers in general, so they can't get the variances small enough to get low p numbers. It's a quote that I can't quite remember perfectly that is well known in sociology/psychology: "The only reason our findings aren't significant is because we're too damn lazy to drag enough people in for the study."

That would be the most understandable portion of the whole shindig. Fungi are a major idea (and everywhere in science fiction) for how to deal with interstellar travel because of their unique niche in the various cycles of life. I would bet an alien species that can travel through the vast reaches of space would also be familiar with using biotechnology.

Fecal matter is usually large intestine. It's chyme in the small intestine. Some of the defining characteristics of fecal matter are things like the large amount of bacteria (up to 1/3 of its weight at exit), the color (yay bilirubin conversion), and the compaction (and simultaneously occurring dehydration). When we're missing those things, we usually identify it as something other than feces. That means, nominally, that you don't really have much poop until you're well into the large intestine. Color is the weakest of those, but it is such a good indication of something going wrong if changed that I would say it is a part of anything that could be considered 'true poop.'

I'm not even going to look at the clock right now. It's not worth it.

Maybe I'm just too immersed in the culture of my youth, but the only ones that don't look 'good' are the horse and the deer. The horse could be fixed by styling the mane, and the deer might be better with a more vertical angle.

Fuck smoking and smokers, but yeah it looks 'cool' to me.

I'm guessing that's the real context behind the picture, eh? Otherwise why would you bare your feet when it is apparently cold enough to be very well bundled up?

I remember one (snapchat maybe?) that couldn't block it so it just alerted the other person you took the screenshot. Maybe it's changed in a decade.

I didn't know Torr was deprecated... For some reason that was always the number for STP I could remember in physics.

Okay, let's make this simple enough for you. Pictures, everybody. Pictures for the man with the mind of a sloth. Exhibit A. Exhibit B.
