What is a little white lie you were told as a child, that you believed for too long?

I was way too old when I figured out a human couldn't actually get sucked down a drain or flushed down a toliet. I used to cling to my little brothers, and pull them out of the bath any time my Mum would pull to plug.

@RickiTarr , my maternal grandfather was a jokester, but he was brilliant. Most of what he'd tell me was true, but every now and then he'd slip in some nonsense and I'd swallow it, hook, line and sinker.

Case in point, when I was a kid he told me that Eau de Toilette was French perfume which was made from extracting the target aromas from actual water from the toilet. I believed him for YEARS. It was embarrassingly my youngest daughter who disabused me of this idea...

There is a person who does beautiful calligraphy of funny things, and this one didn't make sense to me until I saw this:

A weather map with temperatures in the area but the town of Mckinney says it is 101105 degrees F.

@RickiTarr, our local ABC affiliate's Chief Meteorologist, Pete Delkus, said this live on air last summer when he noted the temperature in McKinney. It made the rounds for several weeks and pops up again from time to time. Still humorous...

I would say reincarnation, but both people are still alive, extra points if you can tell me who the person on the left is without looking it up!

@RickiTarr do I now have to think Jimmy Carter is sexy as hell?

The most SF thing that just happened to me: I was crossing a street, someone asked how old cookie was, I said 14, she told me to look up some quack doctor for dogs so Cookie can live till 28

I love her very much but 14 more years?! (Also, what?)

I just want her to be happy and healthy for a year or more or whatever more she’s got. I’ve decided when we say goodbye to her, she’s going to have as many hard boiled eggs as she wants. (Her fave food since she was 8 weeks old)

@skinnylatte , she's a beautiful Cavalier. It's amazing she has lived this long. Enjoy every moment. We miss our Cavalier boys...

What is your first experience with the Internet? How old were you? What did you look at?

nick,
@nick@delregno.social avatar

@RickiTarr , we got access to the Internet at work in the early to mid 90s. But only certain people had access. I remember Aerosmith releasing a new album solely online and videos of Shoemaker-Levy hitting Jupiter.

I was 25.

@ParadeGrotesque @lisamelton @RickiTarr, I watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy again the other night and suddenly I'm getting @RickiTarr boosted posts. Talk about a disturbance in the Fediverse...

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is obnoxiously good. Good at a level where it becomes kind of frustrating to watch because you know it'll be ages before you get to watch something else so flawless.

@rodhilton, I loved the different artistic styles in each universe. I couldn't care about the story I was so into the artistic differences!

I’ve now been enjoying for 10 months & am delighted by the thoughtful engagement here. I’m also increasingly interested to learn more about who I’m connecting with in the fediverse.

Where are you from?

@Sheril Dallas native here.

In between things I am working on a little wiki where I want to 'collect' all setup documentation for software (and some custom things :ed_grin: )

I've repurposed a testing domain and so far added only Mastodon and Pixelfed :blobcatgiggle: :fediverse:

Tried out BookStack, WriteFreely and WikiJS but i've gone with WikiJS

Sources will be all provided ofc but I hope it's okay with all devs 😇

Hopefully this results in more admins :blobcathighfive:

@stux, and update instructions would be great. My update steps were quite different from my setup steps, but was a le to make it work.

I'm growing enough lettuce to completely replace store bought, and I grew it from seed I saved from last year!

What other plants are easy to grow and abundant enough to save you money on groceries?

@datatitian @plants @gardening
Swiss Chard. My grandparents grew it when I was a kid. Now I grow it year-round in pots out back (in the Dallas area).

@grammargirl , and variants of "I'll remember which variety of peppers (or tomatoes, or squash) I planted here."
