Weird Explorer's youtube channel has introduced me to so many different fruits I want to try. All the mango varieties, banana varieties, avocado varieties, sapote, achacha. If only I actually traveled lol

I probably don't need all 3 of mine anymore and could part with one. Lmk if you're interested!

I've been trying for years to figure out how I did this and recreate it lol. I think part of the problem might be that I don't even think to try and direct my focus, because I've written it off as impossible after so many years. It almost feels like a muscle I need to learn how to use

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 25/08/2026

I do remember one time when I just sat down, decided to do something I didnt want to do, and it just happened I normally spend so much time engineering my environment to try and corral my focus in the right direction because I know I don't have direct control of it. It's strange just like, doing it

I definitely feel like I'm more productive on ADHD meds, but directing my attention still feels like an impossible task most of the time. Idk if I haven't found the right medication for myself yet, or if I just need to put more effort into improving my work habits

I started by calling them dog toys but babies is so much better and won me over. I was constantly asking people to come get a baby with me and letting everyone know when I was delivering a baby

Ohhhh interesting, and there's even a section on the page for the hairy ball theorem regarding higher dimensions. This has been a cool rabbit hole, thanks! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_b...

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 08/08/2026

Yeah that was my first guess, but it'd be interesting to see if it holds true. I wonder if there's a proof for something like this

100

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 08/08/2026

This makes me wonder how the hairy ball theorem works in even higher dimensions. Does it fluctuate on even/odd dimensions? Is there another pattern? Or maybe 3d is unique for this?

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 14/07/2026

Ah, that makes sense. I suppose lower wavelength probably means they can get away with slightly cheaper emitters too. Is wavelength choice all about cost/fidelity vs stealth for these cameras? Or are there some companies choosing other wavelengths expressly to avoid the common IR bands?

100

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 14/07/2026

I've done (admittedly little) work using IR cameras, but it seemed like nearly every option I saw was either 850 or 940nm. Is it common for some cameras like this to use other frequencies of IR?

The highest scoring reply here is a 876 on a perfect game. So if you ignore the x2 bonus then that'd be 438 points, putting it behind my score today of 468. So I definitely think you're right that saving it for last would be optimal, it's just that missing the secret x2 bonus ruins that strategy

000

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 14/07/2026

Thats what I did today! But I don't think you can get a perfect game unless you get pangram first. And the x2 total score on a perfect game makes it impossible to compete with using any other strategy

100

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 14/07/2026

First time I managed to get a clean plate! I tried saving the pangram for last which was fun and got me up to x11 score on it

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 07/07/2026

Same, that's why I found photogimp so frustrating. I feel like its covered in a photoshop coat of paint but everything still operates in a very gimp way when you try and actually do anything

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 07/07/2026

Ok, I'm curious to hear! I found myself back using Affinity before long last time I tried. But maybe it's not so bad if you stick with it for a bit

100

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 07/07/2026

How are you finding it? My girlfriend and I tried it and both found it was still too frustrating to use

100

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 03/07/2026

Oh I'm relieved that there's still reason to be using Deezer. I switched to it years ago because it had a non-pooled artist payout model that I really liked, but that got killed a long time ago. I was just staying with Deezer by interia and assumed it was going to shit like the rest

Excellent, I hope to see you continue posting hole

I think you've got it figured out, the puppygirl one would be an unscrollable thumbnail to me

Do you know if you'll get your hands on the files? I got mine and 3d printed a 1:1 model of my skull. Though I suppose its out of date now that I've had a skull update

Do you have a photography or videography background? This is a hell of a solid lighting setup and the quality of your facecam has always been super impressive

I clicked the video thinking "It's probably just clickbait, there's no way its as bad as people are making it out to be" Its so much worse than even the thumbnail conveys 💀

This trans SW cluster being right next to the competitive pokemon community does seem to make perfect sense in my head

100

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 09/02/2026

Poking around in that bubble it seems like mostly MLM accounts? I found myself in a suspiciously unlabeled bubble as well. Though mine seems to be a lot of trans people doing SW, and its not nearly as big or disjoint as that cluster

So I'd love to know of there's any weight to this theory of mine. Four cancer-free years later, I still think I'd gag if I tried to eat that mix again. Even looking at this image of the packaging makes me a little ill. Why though?? I loved it, it tasted great. So weird.

000

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 30/01/2026

My hypothesis is this: I've heard that taste/smell and memory are very closely linked. So I'm wondering if the anti-nauseants worked great for my conscious mind, but maybe a memory was formed which bypassed this? Associating the chemo nausa I couldn't actually feel with the food I was eating

110

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 30/01/2026

They tasted great, I remember remarking to my mom when I got home how good it was. But following that, seeing that mix or even thinking about it would make me feel sick. I could understand the association if the chemo made me feel sick, but it didn't. The my side effects were managed beautifully

110

Rae 🏳️‍⚧️ @rae.gay · 30/01/2026

I'm also a Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor, and I had an interesting experience during chemo I've been wondering about. During my first treatment, I was told to bring a snack because I would be in the chair for a while. So I brought a little mix of nuts/chocolate/cheese
