  • 19-20Β°C. Any warmer and I'm melting

  • I came for a Krebs Cycle and I got the Krebs Cycle. I love biology!!

  • Porgs > Baby Yoda

  • I was on a voice call with a friend, and people who are familiar with me know that I'll end specific sentences with "eh" when others would use "yeah" or "you know?" instead. For example, "How times have changed, eh?" and "How'd your assignment go eh?"

    They took it to mean "what?" or "pardon?" each time, and they asked me if I was confused, and I explained what it meant to them. It was funny in the sense that I assumed people knew what it meant but then I realized some people might actually find it confusing!

  • If I had a coin for every pixel in this image, I wouldn't have enough coins to get an extra life

  • Also humans, including myself: willingly eats food containing high amounts of capsaicin, something chillies evolved to produce to prevent animals from eating them

    We are a weird species.

  • Oh wow I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for the link! πŸ˜ƒ

  • Windows, because my pride and joy (Paint Tool Sai) is only compatible with Windows and I love Paint Tool Sai far too much to change operating systems.

  • A migratory goose, so I could fly around to other countries! I love swimming too, so being an aquatic bird is a plus!

  • If someone is attempting to, or has already broken into my house, or things like a man following me, and it's clear he's following me with malicious intentions (I am a girl, so being female means I'd have a harder time defending myself against a man if he really wants to harm me). Basically if my life or another person's life is in danger.

  • On a train. It was at night and it was a long train ride, and it's the only occasion where I remember falling asleep while sitting up!

  • I'm not saying which country I live in, but I've only ever had good experiences with cops. They were polite to me and also helpful. It is a profession which can and does attract bad actors and the extent to which people are vetted differs between locations, but not everyone is going to be like that. There are genuinely nice and caring people out there who want to help and protect people!

  • TAKE COVER!!

  • No. I have never and do not use AI in my art and never will

  • A snowy, ruralish place in Canada that I love a lot, which may or may not be my home.

  • Yes. Don't click on that link, it's been obscured using an URL shortener

  • No. The electromagnetic frequencies released by laptops are non-ionizing. The photons do not have enough energy to knock electrons off of atoms and lead to DNA damage. The photons released from the monitor (or even a candle flame) are much closer to being ionizing compared to the electromagnetic frequencies used for the wi-fi.
