Fellow synaesthete here but color grapheme, not the type of the article. May I ask what’s your approx age now? I’ve also noticed a mild decline in my own, but it’s still there. I’m in my mid 30s.

Ah, and I got all excited about this post thinking it was about instant noodles…

They pondered until they reached a conclusion

It’s likely hair causing issues. You need something harsh enough to dissolve it which won’t dissplve the wheel itself and I’m not sure I can recommend anything. Nair or any other epilatory cream is likely to damage the rubber too. Vinegar will absolutely NOT dissolve the hair.

I hope some can help you disassemble the wheels properly. Good luck!

That’s the kind of people that needs to be ignored, just “hmm, hmm” and nod and change topic. If she’s turning people against you then it’s a sign that the workplace environment isn’t as healthy as it should be.

I wish I saw more activity there… I guess I should feel proud of myself that I don’t have a good reason to post perhaps?

Edit: also !blender@lemmy.ml and !paleontology@mander.xyz

…and I can’t link communities apparently. But those are the ones

Short answer is Yes, animals will eat you and your corpse will be reduced to bones in some time. How much time depends on several factors, such as which animals find you or not and the temperature, humidity and sunlight the body is exposed to.

What’s Bild reputation like? First time I hear about it

With my current two-arm setup I constantly need one hand on the keyboard for shortcuts, and the other one on the mouse or pen tablet. 3D graphics software is punishing like that.

With four hands though, not only I shouldn’t waste time putting the pen down to pick the mouse, I’d even get the luxury of holding a cup of coffee in my fourth hand while I work!

Finally, I don’t need to drop my drawing tablet pen to use the mouse

Absolutely, I’m not saying all 90s cars out there are bum cars. But most look worn down, in a variety of degrees. Those in good condition don’t catch the eye because there are plenty of similar models still in circulation. And, yes, eventually those well taken care of will be the surviving ones, and become unusual in their own right. Just not yet

I can’t say I know a lot about cloning. But isn’t it already an established thing? Aren’t people cloning their favourite pets and polo horses already? What’s the main difference with this older method, why bother with it?

A Walkman, nice… Yes, things need to be clearly different. But I guess that’s bound to happen in three decades, right? Just like with the cars, which do change every decade, it takes time for people to go from “ugh that’s so last year” to “oh, vintage!” People like milk and yoghurt but nobody hypes over curdled milk

But… The future generations need to know what is like to mod Skyrim on PC!

I didn’t know this was a thing with game consoles

I also think that would be really cool, keeping the software environment just for curiosity.

Also, I’d lower that threshold for cars some 20 years at least. Most models from the 90s are bum cars, but I hardly see anything from the 70s or older in that state, instead they are very well restored and taken care of.

Fair enough, so only as museum displays and perhaps some weird collector but not appealing to most people

I had to double take to make sure it wasn’t Jokes and Humor but actually World News

Depends on how you define cleaning or wiping. Few animals can actually wipe stuff, but some exhibit cleaning of one sort or another. I’m going to remove self-cleaning and grooming out of the list. You mean cleaning objects or their environment.

The already mentioned raccoon is one example but with food only. If you accept that, then Ibises have also been seen washing toxic frogs before eating them to remove the skin toxins.

I’m half hearted about the bird of paradise example, since that’s a mating visual display only… But hey, many birds actually clean the interior of their nests. They pick up their chicks droppings and toss them out. It’s not wiping or brushing but it surely is cleaning for the sake of hygiene.

Spiders remove debris from their webs, does that count?

I’ve never seen cats or dogs brush or wipe stuff away either. Cats may toss or brush away things out of boredom, curiosity or simply to reach whatever is underneath provided it’s a few particles and not really digging.

For cleaning like humans do, my money would be on the monkeys though, personally, I haven’t seen or heard much about that happening spontaneously in wild or feral monkeys.

Can’t answer the title question from personal experience unfortunately, but I can say, only you can figure out what your end goal is. Relationships are different with every person. So if you find someone you enjoy their company, you don’t need to know beforehand what you want to do with them. It’s okay to figure it out as you go.
