@another-normal-anomaly, are you still taking reports of violations of the food/pretty-rock binary?

#rocks #not to be confused with #food #it looks like that last picture has already been filed with Anomaly‚ but this is a more detailed report #pretty things #reply via reblog
suppose your body has magically decoupled its functioning from your food intake. you no longer experience hunger or fullness, digestive problems, allergies, tooth decay, etc no matter what (or whether) you eat. food still tastes the way it did before, and any psychoactive properties (from caffeine or alcohol or whatever) are still there.
would you:
a) eat much less than you did before, since you don’t have to?
b) eat much more than you did before, since you can’t get full or experience any other negative side-effect from it and food is pleasant?
c) eat about the same but with much less care taken to avoiding ‘unhealthy’ foods, or foods you in particular couldn’t tolerate well?
d) avoid foods that might have ethical issues that you weren’t avoiding before?
e) leave your eating habits basically unchanged?
f) some combination of the above?
g) some change in an entirely orthogonal direction to the ones i’ve listed here?
in the hypothetical, which is distinct from the post about the hypothetical, am i informed directly of the rules of the change or just left to intuit that it isn’t just another inscrutable biological shift?
is the thrust of the hypothetical “only you experience this” or “everyone experiences this”?
you are directly informed of the rules of the change. this happens to a small number of people yourself among them and it’s a recognised phenomenon, but not to everyone.
Sorry can’t hear anyone over me bankrupting Old Town Country Buffet.

when i was a child my dad made up a fake holiday called big sandwich night the weekend after thanksgiving, during which we got the longest bread we could find and built a big sandwich together and then cut it up and ate it. we got really fancy ingredients and each built our own section of sandwich before cutting it. building the sandwich together represents community or teamwork or something. and then we would put our christmas tree up and the holiday season was officially kicked off with big sandwich night.
i grew up believing this was a real holiday that americans everywhere celebrated until when i was like 8 i asked a friend if they were excited for big sandwich night and they were like what the hell are you talking about riley. kind of shattered my worldview. but we still celebrate it and ive spread the tradition to friends and partners.
big sandwiches of years past:
as weve included more people weve started having to graft loaves together to make a sandwich big enough for everyone. but it still communicates the core idea of everyone eating the same sandwich together in fellowship.
This is a good holiday tradition.

So there’s this company in the UK, right. They brand themselves on producing fancy free range eggs and as part of that they have breed information written on the carton.
I did some snooping and found that every miracle news story of a supermarket egg hatching in the UK traced back to duck eggs, specifically the Braddock White duck eggs produced by this one company for the supermarket Waitrose.
And one day my mum brings them home and says “I bought these to eat but aren’t they the ones that hatch?”
And it’s spring and I’m hatching a ton this year so in they went.
On candling we had three fertile eggs! That’s a fertility of 50% – the same as shipped eggs from a breeder!
Hatch day comes and we get 2 ducklings, Curie and Becquerel. Sadly, Curie contracts duck septicaemia from an infected navel and doesn’t make it, but Becquerel is a healthy bird and growing like a weed.
I had put 4 breeder eggs in a week after them in case just one hatched, so Becque now has two Khaki Campbell cross friends called Tsuki and Hoshi so she isn’t lonely.
And as of today’s 7am Quacking – Becque is a female! Which means she’s capable of laying eggs and therefore I have pirated a duck.
You wouldn’t download a duck

Ive reblogged so many posts about Glass Onion that tumblr thinks I’m really into onions. It’s recommended me an oil painting of onions and gifs from a documentary about garlic. Thickest algorithm in the world please never make it smarter
You put ice cream in a glass and pour soft drink over it. It creates a thick layer of delicious foam on top of a sweet, creamy drink with ice cream in it.
And yes I did attempt to get a picture by googling “Australia spider” like a fucking moron.
