Played in a creek. Didn't take shoes off. Was awesome, can recommend.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

As long as no socks are involved you're good.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Socks in sandals is an almost keelhaulable offense.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

You just condemned every single German dad to an almost keelhauling

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Rules are rules!

As a German, you have my permission to haul me to Kiel.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Aesthetics here are chef's kiss

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I'd call those sandals. Where I'm from you'd definitely want to take off your shoes lol

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I love the mosses you have! And that looks like such a refreshing dip

[-] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Those shoes are gonna be slippery, wet and soggy the whole way back

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Actually not. They quickly dried, took about 5-10 minutes while walking. Sure a little bit slippery at first but somehow that soon turned into even better (sticky) grip.

Surprise! The creek is full of blood sucking leeches!

[-] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago

blood sucking leeches versus privacy sucking websites …

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Your blood will replenish itself, but your privacy will be gone forever

There is no unlock origin for real life

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

And netflix are gonna make a series about ya

[-] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago

NGL I'd prefer that to Netflix

[-] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

Also I prefer the flowers to the pistol.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Exactly

It feels the right kind of welcoming with the flowers that's for sure

[-] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago

this took me longer than I'd like to admit

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Oh ...I hate it.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

Can we look for bugs in the creek, OP

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

OK but we're holding hands then!

My grandfather owned a farmhouse out in Nebraska, and we'd go out to the "crick" and wade around in leech infested waters and get bit by mosquitos until sundown. Then we'd pick ticks off the farm dog and dread going to the bathroom because he had a rule "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down"

He also ran a nudist colony in the desert in California during the winter months. Interesting man.

Crick is plenty cromulent, there's no need for the quotes

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

I'm gonna put "quotes" wherever I "damn" well please

You're not my "real" dad

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Crick is up here in Maryland too

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Where in Maryland if you don't mind me asking? The western parts it makes sense due to west virginia infection but I imagine the further east you get the less crick you get.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'm FROM northern center and western Maryland. I'm on the Eastern shore now.

"we're gonna play in the creek"

I've heard worse euphemisms for sex.

going down to the creek to dip my toes in

creek is full of industrial runoff from the giant factory upstream

walk upstream to see the factory

How Memphis became a battleground over Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer

xAI’s central focus is a tool called Grok. It’s an AI chatbot, similar to ChatGPT, that the company flaunts as “having a sense of humor.” Musk has called it the “most fun AI in the world.” It has fewer rules than other AI chatbots and has been known for creating controversial deepfake images, such as Mickey Mouse as a Nazi and Kamala Harris in lingerie.

The primary purpose of the Memphis supercomputer is to provide compute power for Grok.

...

The cancer rate in South Memphis is four times higher than the national average, according to a ProPublica report. And a 2020 University of Memphis study found the life expectancy here is 10 years lower than other parts of the city. South Memphis also has elevated asthma rates, and the American Lung Association gave it a failing grade for air quality. Experts say this is largely due to the neighborhood’s proximity to Memphis’ industrial zone.

No thanks I don't want to get my socks wet.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Just put plastic bags over them.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Have fun. The water isn't supposed to be that color or smell by the way. Notice nothing lives in that water either. Even Beau miles won't kayak it. You do you though.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Are you sure the colour isn't just the reflection of the green in the forest?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Looks pretty normal to me for forest stream. The bed of a slow moving stream is typically gonna be pretty dark color, and there is nothing bright around to reflect off the surface

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'm more commenting on where I live. It's common knowledge not to play in the lakes or waterways here.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I'm immunocompromised, no thanks.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

You will take your necrosis and you will like it.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

what happened to the gun? We're not armed anymore? Are we sure this is a bearless environment?

~~or are there just no men in this forest? Sorry i had to make the joke~~

[-] [email protected] -4 points 11 months ago

Someone dressed like that would never go outside

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That is precisely how people spending too long in the creek would look like. "Outside" is not just "urban places", is it? :|

The big eyes though? Well, about that...
