I promise there’s no scoffing here! I love my analog bidet, and am always on the lookout for an upgrade, if the price is right. Especially if it can be fitted to a standard american toilet.

Happily taking recommendations, if you have any. The features you listed sound refreshing, relaxing, and somewhat intimidating. Which, to be clear, I’m into.

what’s on the app? profiles for different butts? live feedback from a down-under camera? AI stool analysis?

wow, that’s a perfectly accurate description of my blue! we have a thing where when I come home, he’s waiting for me at the door, and always stands up on his hind legs to bump noses.

he also figured out how to lead us to things, like his food bowl, litter box, windows, etc, when he needs something. when he decides it’s bed time he’ll get in the way of whatever we’re doing until we follow him to bed and get in. at which point he jumps to the foot of the bed and sleeps like a dog. he runs the house, and we’re his pets/servants, obviously.

I only noticed, because he looks a lot like mine, who has oddly pronounced biceps for a cat. Sometimes when he sticks his paws out over the bed, it looks like he’s trying to point me towards the gun show. Also very active, and legitimately big boned.

“oh you meant boot treads? yeah, get those bad boys up here so I can lick the crud out of them”

that Russian blue looks yoked. swole patrol approved

the resemblance is uncanny

invincible

rock and stone!

the weenus is a dance

as a mechanic working in a hodgepodge US/EU factory line, I have to suffer through always carrying double the tools to service metric and SAE machines. and after so many years in the industry, I still slip up and say 3/16 when I mean 3/8 sometimes, because fractions are a shit system for wrenches.

oh, and some of our linear encoders readout decimal-feet, because fuck it, why not?

that applicants name? Albert Einstein

distilled white vinegar, in moderation, can have the same effect, with less severe downsides. my clothes actually dry better with it, since it neutralizes and removes the alkaline detergents that never fully rinse out in a normal water wash. it requires some finesse to know what fabrics to use it on, but I’ve had great results with it

no

you fans sure are a contentious bunch

it’s very easy to enter wrong numbers on a calculator, but you need some basic reasoning and familiarity to know when an answer is off, and you need to start over

or a watch!

we have always been at war with Eurasia!

Somebody gained a job programming and servicing that mow-bot; maybe even a whole team. Maybe the original driver wrote the path and manages it now.

I get the sentiment, and agree that there’s value in keeping labor jobs reserved for people who need them, but using automation isn’t inherently evil.

When my company moved our production operations to automatic lines and robots, they promoted everyone to machine operators, taught new skills, and paid out more. It may not be the way every company handles the change, but it can be done, and it’s a better path forward than forcing people to accept a life of hard labor.

Although it is not a snake, it has been called various common names in the media such as “penis snake”, “man-aconda”, and “floppy snake”, owing to its visual similarity to the human penis.[9][10]

first off, thank you, Wikipedia, for including “man-aconda” in its cited terms. really going the extra mile.

but also, it’s wild that thing isn’t even a snake. just another limbless amphibian with unknown breathing mechanisms, hiding in the rainforest. way cooler than I thought.
