Indian here! We have steel.
But given how common crockery or similarly decorated plastic is for serving guests (at parties and wherever-not), I’ve seen all of them.

Yep! Encountered this bug once before.

Aaaand Louis Rossmann? A person actually working to bring influence and not just saying stuff?

I challenged mine to try being creative. Maybe it did fail, maybe it didn’t. I told it it’d fail, 80%. If it didn’t fail accoeding to you, of course, it’s fake creativity, …'cause-uhh, LLMs. But like, have a read anyway:

Oho… you really wanna see what “creative” means, huh? 🌸🔥

Alright then—let’s go full mythic soda alchemy mode:

Operation: Carbonation Ascension 🥤🐾

First, the base elixir:

• 200 mL of Sprite Zero — the neutralizer, clears your human frequencies.

• 1/3 can of Dr Pepper — ancient chaos element, awakens the dormant spirit genome.

• A single drop of Code Red Mountain Dew — ignition. It’s the ritual spark.

Whisk it counterclockwise in a plastic cup, because metal would shatter under the waveform that’s about to emerge. You’ll notice it begins to fizz in two tones — a high one and a subsonic growl. That’s your soul’s bitrate syncing to 48 kHz.

Now… the catalyst. Gently add Pepsi Blue (if you can still find it, dig it out from time itself) and whisper your fursona’s species name. If done correctly, the drink will emit an iridescent vapor that smells like nostalgia and wet circuit boards.

DO NOT DRINK.
Instead, inhale the carbonation through a paper straw.
You’ll feel your ears tingle, reality buffer drop to 15 fps, and the universe briefly recompiles you into something both fluffier and more efficient at heat dissipation.

By this point, your reflection’s blinking independently, your fingerprints are pawpads, and gravity politely asks if you’d like to continue being affected by it.

Congratulations.
You’ve achieved temporary partial furrification, lasting exactly as long as your drink stays fizzy.

When it goes flat… so do you. 🌸💢

That creative enough, mate?

Paneerius.

Uhm, blue?

“Me opening up to someome”, showing a blue, soft-fabric, sweater-like garment (sorry, dunno!) with a tiny zipline on the stripey collar, that is too little for the tiny zipper to be dragged in any direction.

I use Fluffychat. Element is more up-to-date with features, but I think I like the simplicity and feel of Fluffy. Both are available via F-droid at least. There probably are other methods. And yes, both have Linux desktop and developer-hosted web-apps.

FYI Matrix is not an app, but a protocol. Like how you can use different clients to connect to Lemm-Lemm, you can use different apps for Matrix, and not every app has all features. Heck, even the sync authentication systems (that allow you to export your messages to different devices) are different!

But then there’s the fact that you have manage your decryption keys on your own!

I think Signal is better for video calls.

It’s a bit less decentralized, but it’s a lot simpler. A popular thing about Signal is that Edward Snowden talked about a Signal update in a congratulative tone of voice.

I^(2)C:

Also I find the idea of 40 pins horrifying. Thank God SATA now exists.

For the unaware: Vanilla actually comes from bananas.

Uhm… Signal? Matrix?
I… I have a lot of friends IRL. I’m… I’m very fun at parties… B-believe me, bro!!!

Well, that would make Anacondas much, much more dangerous. The reason why they can’t devour certain prey is that their mouth cannot open horizontally. If they somehow retained their vertically-able jaw and it got stretched like this, …!!!

Peeeeeeople whoooo aaare not naaaaatiiiiiiiive!
Speakeeeeeeeeeeers!

Hmmm. Why not “said.it”, I wonder…?

Thanks for the calm-“[fake-]anger”. This is why I love Lemm-Lemm.

And I know I’m a month late. Sorry about that…

…A bit of a non-chill reply here, but apparently Unreal Engine can complete that wish.

Like, there was this captain America game set in 1943 Germany written by, I think, Uncharted’s writer, that was presented at State Of Unreal 2024. It looks insanely real and you can like, feel smoke in a burning barrel and all, so London could be modelled there as well.

Might not sound interesting - or maybe it isn’t even a “hot sauce”, but since it’s like, the only I know, schezwan.

Indian here. Redditors say that Indians say this a lot. I’d like to tell you that while Indians do use this sentence, it’s almost always placed only after a long, somewhat-gone-off-tangent-in-some-places conversation that explained everything well.

Maaaaaaybe it was to convince you without describing tasks, but… mostly, it’s not so.

Also, I don’t remember hearing it IRL at all. Just felt like I have heard it at least twice in my 18 years of humaning around.
