Ah yes, nature’s ghillie suit.

Next they’re going to tell us that a bird sharpening its beak every thousand years wouldn’t wear out a mountain made of diamond.

It really depends on the kid and the complexity of the message. Young kids are still learning the intricacies of the language and building a vocabulary. Not talking down to them helps build those skills up. But at the end of the day, if the message is not getting across, it’s the fault of the communicator.

Plus it’s an annoying flex to say “see how amazing my kid is? It’s all because of me!” Some kids just pick up language easier, some kids sleep all the way through the night earlier, some kids toilet train easier, etc. Usually it’s better for parents to quietly take the little victory rather than treat it as a reflection of their amazing parenting skills.

Wrong place to leave a habitat for bugs.

The thought of seeing someone shouting “Train!” still gives me nostalgia.

It looks like something “sci fi” from a 90s video game, when low-res polygon models were the best computers could do.

Including humans. I’m not going near the person launching pinecones at my head from their yard.

Why so often? I just updated my almost 10 year old PC that had one gpu upgrade in its life, and was still happily playing the 10 year old games I wanted to play.

Then I got the new PC with decent specs and decided to push its limits with some Stardew Valley.

It’s Australia. Everything tries to kill you.
