Pearl by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).

It’s about a pig on a small farm that can seep into your mind and make you do and see terrible things. I picked it up after reading Bird Box and a few other books of his, which I enjoyed. I expected to give up on it based on the silly 80s horror movie premise, but the book is truly demented and creepy and I felt existentially weird after reading it

Thanks, Meat Cat!

That pronunciation always drives me wild! it only makes sense to call it data.

What, you don’t like cold soured apple curd tart cream? It has nutmeg in it!

Is it eating a pork rind?

My mom is finally cancer free! Also, my best friend of 20 years might move to the city I live in :)

Thank you, kind stranger!

The Shining, then Practical Magic

The lyrics support this.

Well, the party was nice, the party was pumpin’ Heya, yippie yi yo And everybody havin’ a ball Huh, huh, yippie yi yo I tell the fellas start the name callin’ Yippie yi yo And the girls respond to the call I heard a woman shout out Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who?

Holy shit this thread

Fun fact: that famous “eagle screech” is actually a recording of a Red-Tailed Hawk.

Eagles sound like fucking idiots in real life

Fucking SAME. I bartended and served through college (my degree doesn’t pay well due to YouTube tutorials that have flourished in my industry, lol ouch) and after, and then finally at 30 I started temping in manufacturing, which led to me permanently hired at a huge company with ridiculous benefits, and am now a supervisor in engine assembly that will make 6 figures in 3 years.

I desperately wish I had gone into trade school when I was 18.

Lol the account is minutes, maybe hours old. What a silly little troll

I fell for it and was momentarily outraged. Goke’s on me.

“You miss every shot you don’t take!” or similar. It’s useless, makes no sense, and is disrespectful to yourself and others.

Which is why I love saying it to pricks at work.

I know it wouldn’t slap the same on Lemmy, but that is a user account I miss deeply.

trying to remove the best tool I’ve got

You know what? They told me they were coming for my guns 30 years ago and I ain’t seen a dadgum one of em try…YET

Wow!!! This is fascinating-- I was raised with

Great big gobs of Greasy, Grimy, Gopher Guts Propagated Porcus Puts Sterilized Monkey Eyes, And me without a spoon! scoop Too Bad!

I think my mom was crazy on second thought

Next - Too Close

I recall my friends and I singing some of these lyrics when we were 11-12 with zero idea that it’s blatantly about a hard dick. The radio channel that played it didn’t come in too well where I lived, so we didn’t know 99% of the song, only the melody.
