Knitting for dolls must be amazing bite-size practice for bigger projects. And quick results for the dopamine hit of a project done.
very late to this post, but !shmups@lemmus.org
idk, this reads more like posting anything that reads as "cozy" than screeching.
notice lately how nobody makes a point we disagree with nowadays or gets mildly upset, when we talk about people proposing things we do not like they are ridiculous screeching crying babies? it's… disheartening. i'm not the biggest fan at all of the direction of !nicememes nowadays and try to post memes instead of generic "cozy" tweets when i have time, but come on, she's not screeching. she is just sharing someone else's post
Paging @ladybutterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone @ladybutterfly@lazysoci.al who might be able to help, posts a lot on !nicememes@sopuli.xyz
I personally try to post on !NiceMemes whenever I see something that fits and will crosspost here when I think it fits; but my life has picked up in business so I can't exactly dedicate much time to explicitly searching.
ah, but didn't you know you always trust your gut?
not me being irrationally mad that when i was on reddit, r/askreddit had so many "trust your gut" stories and threads of "reddit, when did you trust your gut and it turned out to be right," and very few "reddit, when did you trust your gut and it turned out to be wrong?" threads. but it is also true that stories of avoiding a danger that manifested are more exciting than deciding to not avoid a danger that never manifested, so the latter got fewer clicks and engagement
just... really glad that i see something agreeing with the "don't always trust your gut" viewpoint for once. although i super super understand risk aversion and that it's better to avoid a danger that never manifests than it is to go boldly and end up facing danger, because that's how i am. but i also imagine that "trusting your gut" and avoiding that weirdo creep just might have been "i'm unfamiliar with this" bias against neurodivergent people who don't 100% know how to come off normal even if they desperately tried to, or against people from a different culture or race who don't do the exact same social signaling you're used to (or maybe they just do, and implicit/unconscious bias does the rest of the work for you). as a neurodivergent person i wonder how many people have "trusted their gut" and decided to write me off. (but i also really can't blame people for avoiding if they thought i was dangerous, i get it.) there are probably other, more dramatic cases where trusting your gut can legitimately harm yourself or others in a way beyond just missed opportunities or the harms of social exclusion/judgment, but this is the one that immediately comes to mind.
Don't know about a separate website but I found a similarly-named tumblr blog: https://cuteness-overload.com/
I get the sentiment expressed, but tbh...
possibly depressing examples of two of these things existing, emphasis on the "bait" part
you can already get lovebait, just look at all the romance scams people fall for. Hey guys, I'm trapped in a driver's license factory, but I'm also a lonely heiress to $50,000,000. I love you, please send me $1,000 on Moneygram baby <3 I need to buy a crowbar to get out of here! I'll love you 5ever. You, me, and the $1,000,000 I'll give you as a wedding gift.
you can already get whimsybait, check all those ads for AI saying it'll make you the protagonist of a quirky story with reactive characters
I'll be honest, I really don't get this one besides the guy getting super meta.
I do wonder how meta people got in historical times. They definitely thought about their legacy, how others would perceive them when they were dead, but how layered did it get? "Will people think I did X because I was worried about my legacy?" Trying to both not get all "lol historical people dumdums with no resemblance to the thoughts we had today, even though they too were intelligent humans" or "lol historical people thought exactly as we do today, no concepts had to take time to learn and permeate culture before they became something people would think about, 'we stand on the shoulders of giants' and they had the exact same quantity of and access to these giants that we do today"

The first and last ones (Moby Dick, Great Gatsby for anyone curious) feel like they work the best with the YouTuber greeting to me.
Seems to be from Anne Rice's The Tale of the Body Thief, fourth in "The Vampire Chronicles" series.
But luckily, all the adults were right about this one!
Post kind of reads like one of those "lies you were told when you were a kid" posts, but actually you just get the fun of learning about this critter that is much cooler than you thought it was now that you stop and think of what you were taught about it; the adults told you no lies but a cool truth you might appreciate more when you are older.
The last part seems pretty unwholesome for !NiceMemes in my opinion
Makes sense. Have not knit in awhile now and I was never quite good at it, so it seems I made a wrong assumption. Thank you for letting me know better
