@avi actually kill comes from dutch! and murder also i think comes from dutch, by way of "mudder". the murderkill river's name is entirely unrelated to violence!

PSA, sexual assault

Lumb @ monsterpit.net is back.

They have a known history of manipulating and sexually assaulting people who they've met online. They have a long pinned post up claiming that the accusations against them were all made up. They're a dangerous person and I wouldn't trust a single word they say.

Please block them.

Fear Cocktail

Kids are callin' it Fear Cocktail. She set a dumpster on fire behind a Benihana and huffed the fumes until she thought she was surrounded by a bunch of labradoodles wearin' cowboy hats.

Staten Island has multiple locations with the word "kill" in their name, to enhance the nightmarish quality of visiting the borough.

I know it sounds like a joke, but they've quietly turning Staten Island's Fresh Kills Landfill -- yes, that's its name -- into a city park. The landfill was open for about 50 years, took in most of New York City's waste, and grew to be one of the largest garbage dumps in the entire world.

"Scientists give cuttlefish 3D glasses and shrimp films for vision study" https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/jan/08/scientists-play-shrimp-films-to-cuttlefish-in-3d-vision-study (there's a cute photo of a cuttlefish wearing red/blue stereo glasses, which turns out to work)

Quote: « “A lot of people said it wasn’t going to work,” Wardill said. “They said they’d rip the glasses off. They said there’d be ink in the tank.” »

Translation: "Fools! We showed them all!"
