Chit-Chat: In the midnight hour, she cries because she's sad and alone and just a little pathetic.

[Honest]

What, spiders aren't adorable to you?

I mean, Andrew Garfield is <3

I miss my old cat Senusret I. :/ He was so pretty and majestic, and had a big long coat of burnt cream duster fur, and beautiful blue eyes, and I spent so much time and dedication playing with him when he was growing up. I wanted him to be big and strong, and he was; one day after coming back from a two-week hunt he just had this horribly sad expression on his face. He was so mopey all the time, and never played or interacted - he just ate, slept, and sat on the porch gazing into the cow fields. One day he upped and left, never to be seen again. :(

He kinda looked like this, but without any white:

oh khilia why

I can't ever sleep again now. Hm. I really don't like insects or spiders. Reeeeeallllly not :B Srs.

Spoiler:

I feel like throwing up everything inside of me, clean it and carefully put it back again.

Of all things that definitely wasn't my intention though

Hey guys, I soaked a horse fly in my room with air freshener and then slide-crushed him with the door. It was nice to finally be rid of him, flying around defecating all over my room. :)

I think the chemicals in the Frebreeze would've burned into it's body causing skeleton damage and then tissue damage to his organs, but I smashed him with the window 'cause aint nobody got time for dat. :P

 

[Raine]

Too bad we're killing it along with the organisms because of everything we selfish human beings are doing :(

 

[Khilia]

Too bad we're killing it along with the organisms because of everything we selfish human beings are doing :(

That's why I keep thinking about somehow becoming something other than a human being

I mean
imagine how awesome it'd be to live as a banana or something

 

[Nathan]

It'd be awesome until someone eats you or you're used for some "secret" purposes ;)

Don't wanna be a banana myself :p

 

[moon]

You and your views are cute, Audy, but thinking of insectly body parts, especially broken such, is my top phobia. :p

 

[Nathan]

o____O

Anyone who uses a banana for such a purpose must not have heard of Cucumis sativus. 8)

I mean using bananas for killing insects *whistles innocently*

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

When you guys mentioned what it'd be like to be a fruit, this came to mind. :P



I just remembered when I looked at my bills of money. I have a 100, two 50s, two 20s, a 10, a 5, and two 1s, and it made me realize something: We have Monopoly money! All of the colors match too, say for the colors of the 50 and the 100, which are switched. Hundreds are blue, fifties are yellow, twenties are green, tens are tan, fives are purple, and ones... are white.

Also, I have a feeling the new 100s are going to rip easily with the placement of that plastic bar. :/

 

[Khilia]

Guys
Hold on a second
What if one is a banana
or any kind of fruit/vegetable
What if said one
gets peeled
or cooked
or diced
or whatever
Oh the horrors

 

[Cordelia]

I'm kind of afraid of what random shenanigans are going on here today.

This is like a nightmare of mine. That plants can feel you hurting them and eating them and we dont know it or cant prove it. I dont eat animals because I dont like them hurt, and I have to eat something, but this thought really saddens me

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Well, plants don't usually have a nervous system, so they can't feel anything, let alone think. :P

 

[Khilia]

You -think- they don't, but can you prove that?
eh eh

relevant in a way:

Spoiler:

 

[Raine]

I can see this becoming foundation for a plant consciousness debate XD This shall be interesting.

 

[Nick]

there's actually a video somewhere that shows that plants actually do feel (not feelings, but they feel). they respond to things going on around them and to things that happen to them.

How about plants like Dionaea muscipula?
I mean they also directly react to happenings around/in them and such

 

[Omicron]

Plants can react to external stimuli. That doesn't mean they have a nervous system per se nor that they can feel or think.

The stimuli trigger chemical reactions that in turn trigger certain processes. The closing of the traps in the Dionea Muscipala and other insectivorous plants. The sensitiva 'shrinks' its stems and leaves. Sunflowers 'follow' the sun and ladies of the night open their flowers at night.

Yes, they can react. No, they do not feel nor think.
