You can bathe chickens, but only when really needed. And even then, you don’t need to dunk the whole bird, you can just clean the area that needs it, that way they don’t have to repreen their whole body.
That said, this could also be a cold bath for treating an overheating chicken.
But in general, yes, chicken don’t need water baths.
Although I am subscribed to it here, I only learned about the 196 subreddit during the api shutdown (and through tumblr, actually (apparently the content I post resonated a lot with r/196 refugees at the time)). By that time I was already moving out.
Originated in April 2020, so close to 4 years now yeah
Honestly I didn’t even question it
The king loves the jingling of my bells
Sharks are fish
Yeah!
Well, technically the design of the pattern was made by Magnum in early 2010s (it’s the old spyder model), but the construction of this pair specifically is all from scratch, tailored to my feet and to my orthopedic insoles.
Oh what a timing! I actually just got my new pair fitted last week.
Over 10 years ago I got myself some Magnum desert ranger boots (y’know, back when they were still decent), and I finally had to change them this year. The leather was still… alright but everything else was breaking apart bad, so I figured I’d finally replace them.
But like! Magnum is a shit brand now, and all the competitors available here aren’t much better, and the only real options for boots in that style are just, super expensive, so at this point I just went to a cobbler to simply remake the same shoes but with better materials and nice colors.
I think they turned out great!
Oh boy Alright let’s see if I can keep it short (edit: 😔), I’ve been there since the start so Let’s Go:
First, some vocab.
The default “For You” dashboard is kinda trash. It’s one of tumblr’s attempts at an algorithmic feed. It mixes stuff from your following with stuff from tags you’ve liked, but doesn’t do a great job at either. If you want a pure reverse chronological feed with no algorithm, I suggest you use the “Following” tab. If you want to actually see new stuff from your interests, then I suggest you go to the Explore page and then use the “For You” tab that is there.
Reblogging works just like a re-tweet, except that if OP deletes the original post, all reblogs stay up. Think of reblogs as copies, rather than direct sharing. That also means that very old posts are still circulating around today. Which is cool.
There are bot waves on there. It’s not as bad as it sounds though, they’re mostly mildly annoying by giving you useless notifications. You might not see them for a while, since they tend to target more established accounts, but if you see one, the rule is to report them as “spam and/or bot”. The more we report, the easier it is for Staff to figure out the current pattern. Currently some bots are countering this by having no bio and no profile picture, so if you want to avoid being mistaken for a bot, please set one up.
Your likes are public by default and will be shown to your followers right on their dashboards. If that’s OK with you, carry on, otherwise you can make them private in your account settings.
Speaking of settings, there’s actually a lot that you can customize in there. Don’t hesitate to spend some time going through all the options!
And speaking of customization, if you’re on desktop, the most popular add-on for tumblr is XKit Rewritten". I can’t recommend it enough. It’s like the YCC of YouTube or the RES of reddit. But on steroids.
And, while we’re on the customization topic, you can actually fully customize your blog. I’m talking like, full HTML and CSS and Javascript customization. So go hogwild if you want! However please note: blogs can have 2 different views. The default one is basically a minimalist view that only has the posts. You can find that one at www.tumblr.com/name
. If you want to actually see a blog’s custom theme (if it has one), you need to go to name.tumblr.com
.
When you create a post, the tags you put will make it show up in tag searches. If you put tags that not relevant to the post (like on Instagram where people put all the trends in their tags just to be seen), that is actually against tumblr’s ToS and you can be reported for spam. The only exception is for nonsensical tags, or “Commentary Tags” which brings me to the next point
Tags on tumblr are a new form of communication (not a joke, there’s been research on this lol). You will often see people put whole sentences in there. That’s fine. These are essentially comments from the poster (or reblogger), and are seen as the acceptable form of commentary when there is nothing to add to the post. Embrace it, it’s very fun, especially if you’re neurodivergent. I could elaborate but I won’t.
These are all the big tips I can think of right now. I probably missed a lot. If you have any question on specific parts of tumblr I would love to answer those.
Finally as for recommendations, well, I don’t know your tastes, but if you’re into cool girls, furries, tech, and cool things in general, then I suppose you would enjoy what I post here.
Lmao I have the same with AWS. I tried a free plan like 10 years ago, then noticed it was only free one month. On the last day I deleted and disabled everything, but I guess something took longer to deactivate because the next month I’m presented a $0.17 bill with a warning of account suspension if I don’t pay up (like hell I would).
I still get those emails, twice a month. They go straight to the bin.
Huh, just realized tentacles aren’t in there. I guess they’d be between ooze and slenderman
Häagen-Dazs Conkreet, baby!
For what it’s worth, the Boost client supports animated gifs just fine. I assume most do, tbh
And unlike screw head shapes, all of them serve an actual useful purpose
Man, that’s a 4MB gif that’s less than a second long. Boost really struggled with that one
Yeah that’s fair tbh
The tracer bullet saga is full of bangers like that
