My S.O. has started watching videos of people sitting quietly in chairs while pets needing homes wander around until the animal (dog or cat) picks them.

These videos are very annoying because after 2 minutes they cause my eyes to leak water, and I can't stop looking because people get so happy when the cat jumps on them.

Ah reminds me of the cat cafes. There you aren't allowed to pick up cats, you have to sit down and hope that they will come grace you with their presence. And then you can snicker with victory at everyone else who wasn't chosen by cats mhehehe
My neighbor's dogs gave me little kisses today (And coyotes can actually catch road runners).

Road runners are monsters. Little velociraptors. Good for you, coyote!
We froze so hard last night. Our only saving grace was a Novant Health Medical Transport lady bringing us some (VERY thin!) blankets...
Bought seed potatoes for the garden. I'm gonna finally have a garden! Yay! I bought Red Pontiac spuds which is what my grandpa grew because they are hardy and can withstand temp extremes.

Good luck with the potatoes. Sounds pretty nice to have a garden. I have a bunch of potted plants that need a bigger pot.
My all time favorites: a gang of elk. A prickle of hedgehogs. A cackle of hyenas. A pride of lions. A crash of rhinoceroses. A murder of crows. A parliament of owls. A kaleidoscope of butterflies.
Turtles can be surprisingly fast (and a group of them are called a bale).

Since I live in a place where hay balers are common, I now wonder what a turtle baler would look like.

And why.
Recently changed my name to Noah since people kept misgendering me as she with the other one. I honestly don't understand why people assume pronouns and don't ask even if the name seems feminine or not. Makes no sense to me honestly. She pronouns make me feel genuinely ill honestly and I just feel terrible with them. Please don't be disrespectful btw, I just wanted to give the update on my name.

Some people get annoyed when you assume their gender, other people get annoyed when you ask their gender. Someone will always be unhappy :)

Noa (pronounced the same as Noah) is a popular name for girls in Israel!

I think you can buy buttons that state preferred pronouns. You should look into it. When I'm in Ashland I sometimes see trans people and don't know what to call them if I need to. I saw a transboy at a garage sale and wanted to talk to him about the 80s music the estate sale company was playing that he liked but didn't know his pronouns so I didn't.
I spotted my neighbor's dog playing with the cat in a pile of leaves. They look like they were having fun. (Fun Fact: A group of bears are called a sloth).

Despite what one sees in cartoons, dogs and cats CAN pal around together (2 dog, 2 cat household). One of my cats and one of my dogs work together to get treats out of the cupboard. We had to child proof them.

Bears can be rather slothful.
OK, I just watched The Zone of Interest. Easily one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.

That is saying a lot. Considering the movies you have seen.

I just checked the summary, it does sound very disturbing in a psychological way

Deeply disturbing film, outlining the ideal family life just a wall away from hell on earth. And how one is able to compartmentalize being a loving father from the brutality of routinely administrating a death camp.

To understand the ugliest contradictions of Nazi ideology in terms of compassion for their own, and contempt for so many others viewed upon as vermin.
New machine for work and it's amazing!

Did you get to "office space" the old one out in a field with baseball bats? Haha.

@Dagan these things weigh about eight to ten tons so it'd be very rough on the bats!
It was partially disassembled, moved with industrial jacks and dollies, and loaded onto a lowboy trailer with forklifts.

Ah. It shall get the end of Terminator 2 treatment, then. Melt it!
So, hippos sweat blood and use it as moisturizer. That's...a thing.

I know it's not real blood. I just thought it would be easier to explain.

Some sources claim that the practice of bloodletting developed as a result of people erroneously mistaking hipposudoric acid for actual blood, but sources do not agree on whether this is really how people came to do that or if that is merely a tale.

So that's where blood sweat and tears came from!
