@jonrosenberg.bsky.social I was trying to find an online reference of some kind to the old Pudding Transfer Protocol from Goats, and Gemini made it weird. Thought you might be amused.

A Google search results page for "pudding transfer protocol goats". The AI Overview reads "Based on the provided search results, there is no evidence of a "pudding transfer protocol" in goats. It appears the query may have been a misunderstanding of
"cud transfer" (also known as rumen transfer or transfaunation) or embryo transfer protocols."

It's National Hammock Day and I still don't have a job, so of course I'm at the beach indulging in my new favorite summer activity. www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day...

Looking down the length of a hammock with my feet visible. The visible end of the hammock is attached to a tree. In the background is sand, blue sky, and more green trees with dappled sunlight shining through.

The fun of following @rahaeli.bsky.social is you never know how many messages there will be when you click that link, but it's always fascinating to read them regardless

I wanted to reply with a salute emoji, went to find something amusing to fit the theme and found this cursed invertebrate - 🫡+🐌

This was another Kickstarter haul. They click clack better, but the colors didn't come out nearly as well as they had intended.

Several sets of dice in a 250 ml glass beaker

A close up of about 7 dice sets in various colors (mostly leaning green) laid out next to post-it notes with the names of the sets

A zoomed out shot of all the dice sets from the same haul, about 30 sets in total, sorted by color, with the set names next to them on post-it notes.

Um, dude.... I'm a dice goblin with a tech salary... Dice kickstarters are dangerous. This is the most I ever spent on dice, and gosh I really should have taken better pictures

I should get out of bed and have breakfast but this bean has been cuddled up against me for like an hour after uncharacteristically settling after he got breakfast

A comet? At this time of year? In this part of the country? Localized to my back yard? It's more likely than you think.

Look at this stinker (literal) who got sprayed by a skunk yesterday and is currently quarantined to the kitchen without any porous surfaces

A medium small black dog lays on a dog bed and blanket on a kitchen floor in front of cabinets and an oven. A cow shaped dog toy sits on the floor next to him. You can't see it, but his forehead and muzzle stink. Because of the skunk. That he would not leave alone.

Also, I didn't realize "potato bug" was so Utah coded.

I did this yesterday and it came out very different than today. But noticed that it uses 25 questions out of a bigger pool. I didn't even get the soda/pop one today. But damn, this one feels right (grew up in Utah, now in Bay area)

What tv show’s intro do you never skip?

Intro screenshot for The Morning Show. A bunch of colorful dots on a white background in a very mid century modern style (I think) with "Jennifer Aniston" and "Reese Witherspoon" written. The intro goes hard with jazz music and simple animation that is extremely evocative of the dynamics in the show's first season.

Our dog is thriving on a custom diet after having major pancreatitis bouts, and at our recheck last week his nutritionist told my wife and me that we're doing "amazing" at feeding him.
