Am I the only one who finds it aesthetically pleasing when Discord message notifications on the sidebar (you know, the white ones) are in a symmetric pattern?


Hey, I like doing that too.

Is it normal that I really like the cold and really don't like the summer?

Like, my favorite days are when it's -30C to -40C.

Okay, hardcore!  But I'd take that over a humid 100F any day.  When the sweat can't sublimate, so it just pools and drips, that's hell.
I love bundling up against the icy fingers of a frigid, clear night. Layers of insulation, a dim light glowing in the depth of cold space.  Reaching out through fabric to interact with the world.

In Summer, everyone can see my... flesh.  Ew.

And I don't, like, hate the summer. It's a very pleasant +24C here currently.

Is there any fantasy setting that has both Dwarves(the race) and has a dwarf (human with dwarfism)?

I've been trying to think of one, and come up short.

I've just remembered a beetle that I found years and years ago, and I'm wondering if anyone can work out what it was.

It was in the UK, had a reddish-brown colour. Probably 1-1.5cm long, it was thin and had quite long wing covers. When I disturbed it, it also flicked the wing covers pretty hard (It was hard enough I could feel it doing it through a plastic sheet).

Not a massive amount to run off of, but I'm just really curious all of a sudden.

Wasn't one of these, was it?

Looks like it might have been Denticollis linearis, thanks.

There's a kind of clicking bug called Dödsur, "Death Clock" (or more directly "Death Hour") in Swedish. In olden times it was believed that it was slowly clicking down the reminder of your time alive, and if you heard it, it meant you were soon about to die.

I think the name is pretty metal for a bug.

Another animal question.

I've noticed these little "tents" made of silk that have bundled up several grass leaves and stems. It's not that they're cut off or anything, but it's almost like a caterpillar or mite or something made a circle out of silk around some grass, tightened the circle, then made a tent over the bundled up grass. The tip of the tent seems to have a higher density of threads. Again, it's the UK.

I'm curious if anyone knows what these are? I've never seen them before, but then I'm pretty unobservant so whether it's something that's only started this year or I've only noticed it this year is a mystery. If I can, I'll get a picture of one tomorrow because the things are bloody everywhere right now, and I'm curious as to what's causing them.

... might be tent caterpillars? Idle check suggests they're more tree than grass but *shrugs*

E: Though better than a picture of the nest or whatever would probably be a picture of whatever's making it. Poking the things with a stick to see if anything comes out is a tried and true investigative technique that only occasionally gets your face covered in biting insects.
