Has the goat burned?

No, the Gävle goat is pecked but unbowed today. :julbock:

@forteller @aagot I don't think that's the same thing as the form needing sign in by people you share it with though.

@forteller I'm pretty sure it is off there. If you toggles the Limit to 1 Response to On, then it would require sign in. Without that turned on there isn't a sign in required.

It's not very well worded. But try toggling that control and it will pop up that sign-in to Google would be required.

@BethanyBlack Not to mention that there's a small, but non-zero chance they'll turn you into a ghost too.

@drizzy @IceNine @HistoPol You can, because that's what it was called first, as it used to be made of a fabric called cotton duck.

@skry Bonus idiot points if it includes a person's face grimacing in pain/fear as they get injected.

@ned I was in a stationary shop one time and a boy was choosing a pencil case, and his mum made him put back the one he chose, cos she said that one's for girls.

It had owls on it. Not pink and purple owls. Not glittery rainbow owls. Just, ya know, owl-coloured owls. 🦉

Been for a swim this morning. My conclusion about the various swimming strokes and my approach/ability. 🏊♀️

Backstroke: Comfort Zone
Breaststroke: Backache stroke
Front crawl: Panic flail.

@oldrawgabbit I wonder if anyone at Whiskas, when coming up with the product, asked "If we call it Cat Milk do you think anyone will think we're actually milking cats to make this?" And their colleagues scoffed and said "Oh come on, nobody is that stupid."

So many people out there fighting to make sure their kids get to waste as much of their precious limited time on Earth in traffic as they did.

@matoakit @pezmico I watch some urbanist channels on YouTube and its horrifying the way American cities have gutted their own hearts to create acres of parking lots, because of dumb parking minimums that end up deterring smaller businesses entirely, so you end up with nothing but big box stores surrounded by acres of concrete. Ugh, even a mall would be better.

And some people would happily do that to European cities.

@ellieraeuk @Retr0mantic I recall watching it once thinking I hadn't watched it before, only to realise I had and must have repressed the memory, because of how traumatising it is.

Um... Enjoy? 😁

@benjamincox @goatsarah Plot twist. 😁

As a Brit the name "GitHub" will never stop being amusing to me. (Git being British slang for a nasty, unpleasant person, generally a man.) So I'm like "GitHub? Sounds like some pubs I know, amirite?"

Attention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda

@dws_ch I'm so glad that playing Pokémon Go got me into the habit of carrying a portable charger years ago. I'm not plugging my phone into a random untrusted USB port! That's mad.

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.

Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace

If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
