    I’ve been meaning to reply sooner, but I kept your comment up so I could get back to you

    You did mostly answer my question! I looked him up and was delighted by what I read. My first wh40k army was the necrons. I have their symbol hanging from my rear view mirror, even! It’s been there in my cars for the last 20ish years? I have the first necron codex

    [Insert image of codex here] I can’t find it atm, or else I’d share

    But I haven’t been active in a very long time and I was blown away by the changes to the units when I looked them up a few weeks ago

    Ultimately I was wondering what the artwork was from but I was still glad to learn about some new lore


  • You’re not dumb, you’re just not educated in this field. It’s basically an inside joke and you’re not in on it

    But I do agree. I’d love a blurb from the poster, just a sentence even, as to what it refers to. Also like the artefact pictures are amazing and beautiful but I want to know the significance, no matter how small it is


  • I guarantee you that’s a tree farm. I’d gladly be proved wrong

    The uniform height, spacing, and lush branches are a key clue. I wish I took pictures on my last trip so I could show you what I’m talking about, but I was traveling through a place undergoing logging. In the forest, like you’re thinking, the lower branches are dead because the crowns are crowding out the light. In the understory, lower light plants thrive, ones who can’t really take full sun all day

    I say this to hopefully assuage your feelings about the picture. The tree did what it was meant to do, and in a spectacular way

    Hey, I get it. I’ve seen and heard plenty of things that break my brain until I get some context clue

    The worst is when I tune into a song that’s already playing, or hear a sentence already being spoken, and my brain places pauses or is off a beat; I hear absolute gibberish and wonder if I’m having a stroke








  • Went with my partner to a really cute cabin for a vacation. It was a yurt, and really nice except the partition to the bathroom was just a curtain and the wall didn’t go to the ceiling. It was at least behind a wall so there was a small modicum of privacy

    So waaaaaaay too much cheese on both our parts lead to some very unpleasant bathroom trips and a resulting overload of senses. There was a window, fortunately, though it was fairly ineffective but we learned to excuse ourselves from the cabin when the other had to shit their brains out



  • When I was in my early teens when my family and I heard an extremely close lightning strike. I think we were sitting outside and saw the lightning but didn’t see where it hit

    I looked over and realized it had struck a tree a few houses up

    “The tree is on fire!” Mom, Dad, and myself ran downstairs; mom drove us up the road with shovels in the back and Dad and I hopped out

    A couple neighbors showed up just about the same time as us. One had a blanket and was trying to beat it out which was working on the grass but it was fanning the flames that were already starting up the trunk. I had to tell them to stop and encouraged people to throw dirt on the trunk which thankfully worked

    spoiler

    Please don’t ask why no one had a fire extinguisher, I was young and I didn’t think about it. Or maybe someone brought one but didn’t deploy it. I think the immediacy of the situation led people to grab the tools they knew where they were and maybe people didn’t think about using an extinguisher on nature?

    That was still a very heartfelt reply and I appreciated it. I don’t think you came off any way at all other than passionate

    Please don’t talk down to yourself. Learning new things is inspiring!

    Your comment made me realize I had an id10t whoosh moment here. I didn’t realize wombats actually pooped cubes. What a dummy. Thanks!

    ♥️♥️ Your comment just struck a chord with me so I wanted to ask you to not be so hard on yourself


  • I experimented with a bunch of foods and food-safe strong smelling/tasting things. Even spicy was knocked out which surprised me. I would have thought that would have remained unaffected

    That was one of the few times in life I’ve really been concerned about my quality of life if the effects were permanent

    Like, I’ve thought about “what if I lost my sight/hearing/limbs” but taste and smell never really occurred to me. But it was truly life altering and I really considered what I’d do if I didn’t get those senses back


  • Oh yeah that was absolutely affected as well. I couldn’t taste anything for a few days. I don’t remember specifically how long I couldn’t taste or smell, this was 4.5 years ago. That was the first time, early 2021. Subsequent bouts have not done that to me (unfortunately I work in an environment where people come in sick and pass it along. I’ve gotten covid many times and it makes me upset every time)

    But yeah, eating became an even more unpleasant task. I pretty much do it because I have to but I try to make it enjoyable; but when you only have texture to work with then that becomes very difficult


  • I had been a bit sick and I had the realization when I went to sniff some weed and I couldn’t smell it. I’d been able to smell earlier in the day and it was a weird realization. I went around and sniffed everything I could hoping to get a whiff

    It was extremely bizarre. I’ve had muted sense of smell and taste because of a sickness but never an absence of the sense
