Something I’ve noticed is whenever I wear my GWAR merch in public, other bohabs who notice it are always really eager to actually talk to me about GWAR on a level beyond “cool shirt.” Like they’ll actually talk to me about what album is their favorite, the artistic intent of the band, and (if they have any) their opinions on the newer stuff.

I’m autistic and love talking about my interests, so it’s a very nice change of pace for it to be not just invited, but welcomed by total strangers.

Howdy folks!

I wanted to let people know who may not be aware, or may need it, that there will be free meals available for anyone and everyone under 18 at Mary Bridge Outpatient Center.

The program runs June 29th to September 4th, and is available Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM!

All families are welcome, the only requirement to get a free meal is to be under 18.

They will also have free books available!

And, for anyone looking to help, you can donate new, unread books to Mary Bridge for their book drive! (You can also donate money, but Reddit sniped my original post when I tried to share the link)

Hi!

Please let me know if this is the incorrect sub to ask this.

I’m writing a character who is Norwegian but speaks both Norwegian and English. Norwegian is his native language, and it’s what he speaks at home (so it’s his default), but he learned English very young.

I know a very common mistake many bilingual people make is attempt to translate an idiom directly from their native language into English. I am looking for common examples of idioms a native speaker might use in Norwegian that wouldn’t necessarily translate literally in English, or word choices someone who speaks Norwegian natively may use instead of the choices a native English speaker might use.

For example, would someone who spoke Norwegian natively say “I kicked his ass” after winning a fight, or something different?

He and his family from Eastern Norway, for reference.

Any other advice is welcomed.

The official Cuttlefish Sex Toy should’ve had a cum tube. If BD can make a cum tube work with the one shaped like a dragon’s head, it could absolutely work with the cuttlefish. I know it was probably for production cost purposes, but it feels like a missed opportunity to not give the thing known for spraying people with cum and blood the ability to spray cum and blood.

To elaborate further: I’m looking for examples of stories with images, phrases, texts, etc where knowing about or seeing the information in question causes harm or death to the viewer, that are NOT part of an SCP.

Examples include Smile Dog, Solar Plexus Clown Glider, the poem Tomino’s Hell, The Scariest Picture on The Internet, etc

Images or short phrases are preferred as this is for a very tentative screen printing project. Stuff from around or before 2010 is ESPECIALLY wanted.

I have tried searching for things like this but unfortunately “cursed images” has an entirely different connotation nowadays than what I mean here. I’m talking about the general type of stuff snopes would debunk in the old days. If anyone has any leads, please share!
