I was just about to say something similar. Fart silently, then ask if they smell popcorn/gasoline/whatever. They’re not likely to sniff again after they’ve heard you fart. That defeats the purpose!

I got the same crap. I’m sorry you were subjected to that bullshit, too. :(

That edit made me laugh, 'cause I totally understand. For example, I had a ‘Gram’ and a ‘Gran’ and my whole life I can never remember for sure which goes by which. Makes me feel like an asshole, lol.

I’m glad he taught you how to make your own, by the way. It’s so damn tasty. Now I’m craving homemade tomato-based pasta sauce…

What a coincidence, ‘big ball bucket’ was my nickname in highschool!

Those little mouse balls were so satisfying to hold and play around with. Pretty weighty for how small they were, with an interesting texture on it; and so perfectly round!

I never stole one, though. I always put them back, 'cause I’m not a jerkface.

I’ll have to check those out. Thanks for the suggestions!

Oh my goodness, so precious!! He is adorable! I hope he had a safe and enjoyable trip outside with his human! <3

Uuuugh, god dammit. Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t heard yet. I figured he was likely lying about half-funding it anyway, but it’s still disappointing. My dumb hungry ass got my hopes up a bit like an idiot lol

I had assumed it was Yandex

Jeez, that’s messed up. I’m so sorry! I hope you’re able to get reimbursed without much more trouble, and I hope your recovery goes well!

I agree that it easily could be real! My cat does the same thing with used socks, drinking straws she steals from our drinks, (clean & unused) menstrual pads still in their packaging, those little bra padding inserts that go in camisoles and bathing suits, and, of course, toys. It’s so fucking precious and I love it! I’ve found her secret stashes of them multiple times over the years, haha.

Ooh, that’s cool as hell! You’re really good at that. I’m jealous, haha. Thanks for sharing it with us! :)

Lol! Same here. I feel seen. :)

Oh, god, that’s me that you just described. No wonder people think I’m an LLM. Yikes! Lol!

I’ve also gotten accused of being on meth due to my Internet comments, even though I’ve never touched anything like it. Yay, AuDHD!

Awww. :) Hello, beautiful baby!! You’re adorable! <3

Thank you for sharing this kitty and their cuteness with us!

Huawei? I think you’re giving them too much credit, haha. I’d guess it’s likely to be some unknown, no-name garbage, like you’d get from Wish or Ali-Express (or similar) for dirt cheap.

I thought that was weird, too. I wonder why?

It’s all we know and most of us don’t have any other choice. It’s wild the stuff humans can normalize when you grow up with it and are surrounded by it.

Please tell Bill I love him!! Thank you for sharing his cuteness with us.

Ooh, I hadn’t thought of trying that yet. I can do it, too! Thank you for helping me learn this new talent. That pressure/suction is a weird feeling on the eye lol
