Did they ever do toys of that?
I’ll admit, I forgot that was a thing as it was never something I saw as a kid. I don’t think it was ever shown in my country? It was something I only really found out about later on and mostly via pop culture osmosis due to how often it was referenced in US media.

My favourite song currently: I do have times where a certain song captures my imagination and I listen to it a lot. Past examples include Nothing’s Impossible by Depeche Mode, the acoustic version of Gold Guns Girls by Metric, Clear Skies by Keane. However, nothing’s currently occupying that particular niche so I’ll go for a long-standing favourite, The Lightning Strike by Snow Patrol.
Best gift I ever received and why: I got a slide when I was six. That was great. Because it was my very own slide (except I had to share it with my brother) and I was six.

I think one of them was Siblings Without Rivalry, but I don’t know if that was the one with the ice-throwing story. I just read the first chapter because it was free on Amazon and I’m kind of alarmed I read it as a small child; it’s all about horrific intrafamily bullying and parents talking about how much witnessing this makes them hate their kids. Then again, I’ve repeatedly had the experience over the last few years of going ‘wow I read what when I was seven’ (Animorphs, yikes) so maybe small children are just actually pretty resilient.

#zeroth degree asks #(technically this one is a first-degree ask but it’s the same idea)
Poor people in the US are overweight because they substitute higher-quality expensive food for lower-quality cheap food. I’m underweight because I substitute eating for… Not doing that.
Preparing food costs me a huge number of spoons, I have almost no ability to transport myself to places that sell cheaply prepared food, and food delivery is never cheap. Given these options, not actually eating usually makes perfect sense.
(food cw, disordered eating cw)
(I’ve heard rumours the first-degree ask bug might have been fixed. Let’s find out.)
>>I have almost no ability to transport myself to places that sell cheaply prepared food<<
How are you defining “prepared”?
When you make/attempt spoon-consuming homemade food, where are you getting the ingredients from? Stores that sell ingredients usually also sell granola bars, peanut butter, crackers, I was going to say apples but then I remembered your sensory issues. Bananas if you can take them sensory-wise and reliably eat them during the ~3-day window between underripe and overripe. If you have the spoons to reliably handle refrigerators, orange juice (consume within 1.5 – 2 weeks of opening), and if you’ve the lactose tolerance for it, cheddar (only buy it if it’s on sale) and milk (American milk lasts longer than Canadian milk, 1 – 2 weeks instead of 3 – 5 days).
These suggestions might not work for you, but if they don’t, I’d be interested to know why. You’re not the first person I’ve seen jump straight from homemade food to takeout when they ran out of spoons, without passing through granola bars first*, which makes me wonder if there’s reasons I’m missing.
*Which I find are less effort than takeout, making it all the more confusing to me.
Okay, ask bug not fixed. Please see above post.

Note:@ilzolende thought I proposed that we deal with the first-degree ask bug by having the OP write their answer in a reblog rather than the “”actual”” answer section. I never actually said that*, but I think I like it, so I’m going to try adopting it. (I will be tagging these “”actual”” answers “zeroth degree asks”, for ease of blacklisting if they start cluttering up the dashboard.)
*I proposed a norm that placed the onus on the reblogger rather than the OP, which we can still resort to for OPs that aren’t formatted this way.

You might like to know that this afternoon I spent like thirty seconds cackling in causeless happiness at the word “meridian.”
…oh right, I did technically reblog that post, didn’t I. Anon, get thee too a church of your choosing at whatever frequency suits you.
