    There are people who have been on this site for a literal decade, and are still using a default profile picture, which is hilarious to me.

    Well, not everyone cares about modifying their profile. I was here for more than a decade before I bothered to set up a profile picture for myself.

    If you only use your account for selfish reasons (like favouriting stories or gaining access to restricted categories), there isn't much point in dressing up.

    I don't think that's a major deal, tbh

    The fact is we all can understand sentences at the ends of paragraphs even without periods

    The proof is in this comment

    Looked at my armpit and realized the fetishists are actually pretty spot-on.

    That is one of the fetishes that I just don't get. Like, it may not be disgusting, but I also don't get how someone considers it erotic. Same with stuff like tickling or spanking. Not gonna kinkshame, but I also do not see how it can be sexy to some folks.

    I feel like spanking is a lot more associable with things like BDSM, the whole 'pain feeld good' crowd. Armpit though, tends to run in the same vein as the feet lovers.

    I think a Commission AI of sorts that looked for artists open for commission that would do your prompt would be really cool.

    Would still make use of AI's 'scrub the web down to its individual posts' thing but would still support artists while also leading people to places they might end up really enjoying.

    Obviously there's probably still some sort of way this could be abused, but it's better than the current system of slop and scraping, and its not like it requires quite the same energy consumption of those big data centers we have at the moment.

    Are any of you highly educated in scientific fields and if so how inaccurate/summarized can I describe a complex concept before you get mad?

    I'm a programmer. My frustration with inaccurate portrayal of my job (and adjacent ones in the field) by mass media has loooong since run dry. So go on, reverse the polarity on those bits! Overclock the hard drive! Insert a backdoor in the stack trace!

    I'm highly educated in a few, including gender, particularly as it relates to neurology. As long as someone's summary doesn't cross the line from reductionism to falsehood, I don't particularly mind.

    In a story's title, you get exactly 3 key words before it becomes too much. For individual chapters however, go wild. Same applies to anime.

    Manga and anime meanwhile take the opposite approach to you. IIRC, the idea is that "kids these days" won't be bothered to read a synopsis of a story, so you put the synopsis into the title and they will read it while scrolling through new titles. ...I hate that trend, but it has been big for a while now.

    @raziel83 Believe it or not, that's exactly what I was referencing. Saw an anime titled "I reincarnated as the 7th prince and (something somethimg I forgot) to hone my abilities! :D :D :D :D" and I realized the reason those kinds of titles suck is how many key words they shovel into the sentence, and subsequently concluded 3 key words was the maximum.

    I've concluded that 2025 is the year of "just saying shit," from politics and world news to the trending bullshit on Instagram Reels.

    I was considering giving an example on the latter, but I think I might genuinly start coughing up blood if I attempt to bring forth such an unholy union of lexicon.

    Anything can be a sexual innuendo if you just say it seductivly enough, and I think that's beautiful.

    @OccasionalReader It's kind of like a reverse language barrier, in that the intrique and draw of a different language is lost thanks to speaking that language.

    That being said, pastries and baked goods (and eating in general) seem to be very popular picks for innuendos and pickup lines. Probably something to do with linking food (basic need) to sex (both primal urge and sophisticated practice).

    Now that I think about it, it's REALLY common to use food as a pet name. Things like muffin, cupcake, cake (as in ass), honey, sweetie, et cetera, et cetera. Certain foods like strawberries tend to get thrown in there too, so referring to your partner as a strawberry shortcake or an apple pie is actually more common and more complementary than you'd think.

    @GyroscopicGraphite And then me over here with the pet name moon for my wife and she with princess for me lol. I guess I'm not like other girls? jk, princess is a pretty common pet name

    Not to get political, but are we the only timeline where 9/11 might actually be an inside job AND Trump was confirmed to be a pedophile?

    "If we released it, we could get in a lot of trouble. Wait until we edit it first." It's not ambigous.

    @Thorn_ I think pretty much every single sentient creature with access to the news knows that at least 2/3rds of Congress were on the island at some point. (un)Coincidentally, the first set of files they dropped a few years ago had Donald Trump on the flight logs. Those we're pretty sure are already edited. And now they're saying they don't exist (and got sloppy about faking everything (are we serious?)).

    No. (9/11 was not an inside job.)

    I'm in that limbo state where I'm young enough to understand all the new slang, but too old to find it particularly funny.
    GyroscopicGraphite
    Suprised how underexplored concepts like 'Hysterical Literature' are in places like camgirling, where that kinda thing would fit perfectly.

    Etymology is one the most entertaining things to be a complete ametuar at.

    Yeah sure, retracing history is cool and all, but speculating about nonsense is way more fun, especially when there's a distinct logic to an suprisingly simple explanation.

    Etymology is also hilarious when similar sounding words in one language have wildly different origins from two separate languages and so on. And of course then there is the "homo" issue where ancient Greek and Latin have an identical word with different meanings but now kids who speak neither of those will giggle when they hear "Homo Sapiens."

    @raziel83 how could you forget Homo Erectus
