I want to stuff a pumpkin full of raw meat and roll it around my enclosure, but I also know that I’ll have to be the one to clean up afterwards :-(
Take steps to minimize the mess! Put a cheap, disposable plastic tarp down in the area you’ll be rolling it around. And.. Maybe recognize your species-specific needs and cook the meat first
Actually, if we’re going for species-specific enrichment, a pumpkin may not be the best solution. We’re not built for pouncing on prey or batting it around. We’re distinguished by our persistence hunting and tool use
What you should do is put a pack of jerky on top of a roomba, go in another room and count to ten like you’re playing hide and seek - or use this time to find a tool to use - and when you come back, try to catch it by setting a trap or by pinning it down with a stick
When you want a greater challenge, have a friend drive an RC car full of jerky around the park, and chase it until it runs out of battery

I feel like it might work tho

i think more people ESPECIALLY americans tbh need to get even just cursory knowledge of the protestant work ethic. there is a christo-capitalist reason you feel guilty when you are not working yourself to death. it isn’t just like, a common Symptom or whatever. it is from a deeply ingrained ideology in the west that affects pretty much everyone (even if you are not a WASP, ur still forced into this culture and will deal with its ramifications).

Sonic Heroes should have had Amy as a power character with the hammer
Wonic Chronicles had the right idea making her a Power and Speed hero. She also can, in addition to super strength and speed,
* Turn invisible
* Detect lifeforms
* Heal herself or others
* Inflict paralysis
* Create tornadoes
* Tripple jump
Actually, with a list of powers that long, how is she not the main character?

Trying to prove a point to my divorce lawyer.
I pointed this out in a Discord server I’m in and thought Id share here:
Bob Iger announced that Disney is going to absorb Hulu, and Hulu will no longer exist next year. All shows will move to the Disney+ app.
Disney also announced they were going to remove shows and movies periodically from their streaming services.
I believe both of these moves are because of the Writers Strike.
Disney knows its going to lose the strike. There is too much public support. Specifically, the WGA is going to win writers getting more residuals from streaming.
So if Disney takes shows off of streaming, they dont have to pay the writers the residuals.
They are going to use excuses like “not enough funding for the server capacity” or “not enough views to warrent keeping the show”. These are BULLSHIT. Its all greed. Its only GREED.
Pay attention to what happens in the following weeks.
And keep supporting the writers’ strike.
This is similar to what happened with HBO - new owners merged two streaming services, and all of a sudden there wasn’t enough server capacity for all the shows somehow. A total lie.
Time to start downloading EVERY Hulu show. Hoist the colors high.
And yell at your congresscritters about antitrust laws.
Download everything that isn’t a major franchise. If its name isn’t Marvel, Star Wars or The Simpsons, assume it’s getting canned and get a copy in as high quality as you can store. Eventually your copy could be the only one.
This.
This is especially true for the weird stuff you’ve never heard anyone else mention. Lost media is a tragedy regardless of what it is.
Tumblr user, in front of you is a Lenovo Thinkpad x230, a business grade laptop with 12.5" screen, dual-core Intel CPU, DDR3 type RAM, year of production 2012. This model is famous for its repairability and potential for hardware modifications. On your blog themed after clowns and indie videogame robots, you have claimed “deep eroticism” to be present in the act of maintenance of computer devices. You have 30 minutes to perform basic maintenance on the device in front of you, disassembling it enough to add the 8GB stick of DDR3 RAM that lies to the left of the device, then to clear the CPU fan with compressed air and replace the thermal paste with the Artic MX-4 that lies to the right of the device. If you fail to do so in time, a giant, heavy, cast steel anvil will be digitally drawn falling from the sky and aiming straight for your precious robot OCs heads. Let the game begin.
