Idk about the mucous, but a fever is definitely an attempt at killing whatever foreign pathogen is there. Hopefully a pathologist or doctor can help us here.

Alternative ending:

shadowy creature picks up scyth off the blood-stained ground, enters carrying the severed skull of the Grim Reaper.

“I am become Death, reaper of souls. Your time has come…”

So many good names to reuse. I say we pull out some victorian names, we’ve gotten past the “that’s my grandma” part of the cycle so it’s about due pretty soon.

It’s so hot you’ve switched to the fireman’s technique. Heat jacket to keep radiating heat from the outside environment from getting in.

Yeah, I instinctively tried to open mine with vinyl gloves on once and immediately thought “I’m dumb, gotta take these gloves off first.” That was a good shock when it actually worked first try, much confusion…

Why do all of these things make me feel old… I’m gen Z but heavily relate to gen x and millennial when people ask me “wtf does that mean?” and I just say “it was before your time.” Like wtf it was “before my time” too… idk I guess that’s the only benefit of being adopted by boomers.

Gen Z here, after creating my mastodon account on an infosec instance and using that for a while, I found out about Lemmy and ditched reddit for good. So after registering on a smaller furry instance through my browser and trying a couple of different apps, I ended up here… not all of us are dumb ipad kids. Don’t get me wrong either, most of my generation are indeed a bunch of skibidi-brains… but there’s some hope anyways. I think. If we survive the civil unrest, climate change, the coming world war, and the general ignorance of the vast majority of our generation… ok maybe we are fucked. I guess we can thank the boomers together for that.

Yes, please! What I’d give to see generation of Çeowulfs, Ælfgifus, Freyjas, Thorrs and Ragnars.

I want to see a shoulder-mounted crossbow turret as a form of mobile, halfling-scaled balista. A medieval tank of sorts.

Learn some f*cking trigger discipline! One bump in the road and… yeah no, not good.

The belt in question:

“Church’s role in harming kids…”

That’s a funny way to spell “church officials raping kids…”

Editorial watering down like this is disgusting. Even if it wasn’t intentional, if you as the reporter aren’t comfortable calling sexual abuse rape in a headline and have to water it down to “harm,” that’s another reason to keep it full-strength. If it makes people mad, good. The truth should make people mad in cases like this.

Spell activates accidentally, damns the caster never to rise again…

“Real news for real people!” Yeah totally…

Правда…

Agreed. While I love dogs like crazy, and personally don’t mind it (I’m big enough that it’s not a problem), I only think it’s OK if it’s a puppy who isn’t old enough to have learned yet… and even then they need to be trained, or they won’t behave later.

Am a cat person, loved the joke. It is quite accurate.

Thor:

Hahaha, this stupid Jotunn wants to be struck! Time for target practice!

Wait 'till all the cybernetics ethics committees start to regulate protogen pups as “unethical”…

Thank you for deciphering this… as someone who can read runes somewhat I was very confused.

Yes, and Google Translate is a huge red flag as well. Having taken six years of Latin in school I can confidently say that Google will lie to your face. Discō does not mean “I go / am going” (eō would be more appropriate). It directly means “I am learning” with “hell” in the ablative case, so it’s assumed to mean “I’m learning (through / by means of) hell / Inferno.” So it’s very poetic, but the given translation of “I am learning by way of hellfire (torture)” certainly works. I’ve seen stranger from Cicero…
