A person who raises tarantulas should be called a tarancher.

So I'm playing a game, Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, where my character is of a group of tribal forest-clans who unified and "civilized" in order to resist a big scary (extremely Roman) empire.  Doing the longbow/smithing thing, working as a merchant-mercenary for my people, presumably more than a little xenophobic in the valid *resisting imperialists* sense.

So I come across this one wanderer, of my culture, who's bragging about his collection of trophy heads.  Which is a part of Battanian culture which has been referenced before, nostalgically, but like... maybe isn't so much a thing anymore?  And he's very cringe because he supposedly had to bury them all and even in his lie his victims had puny names.

My character probably respects the tradition of taking trophies, sure.  In theory and legend.  But this guy trying to grift on nostalgia for the old ways is really embarrassing.  And maybe my character would get much better deals with a larger market, and maybe indoor plumbing and some more books to read?

This led to me thinking about bidets again which is why I posted it here.  I still don't understand how they're supposed to work, but maybe finely pulped paper isn't the optimal path towards self-hygiene.  I don't know, it's been on my mind for a while.  oh and I guess I replaced the bolts on my dad's toilet a couple days ago.  So I could literally handle a bidet conversion personally, and an influencer I know has one, and it'd trigger all the trads.

What? Bidets are more traditional than toilet paper. Toilet paper is the hot new thing, bidets is the old fashioned archaic way.

Sometimes the old ways just were better

But what about gompf sticks?

But what about shitting in the woods like nature intended for all creatures big and small?

[King Zultan]

Shitting in the woods and wiping with leaves is what god intended!

Spring brooks were the original bidets

The "early bird special" should be a plate full of worms.

Look, I'll try any crazy food in the evening just to brag about it later.  Even Klingon Gagh which is pretty much what y'all are talking about.  But not for breakfast.

No, an early I-don't-want-to-be-up breakfast needs to be greasy mystery sausage and sweet pastry-like "biscuits".  And ideally it involves unfertilized chicken ovum.  Altogether a meal I would find disgusting when properly awake, and yet it's the only thing I care to eat as I'm making my half-asleep way to some morning obligation.

That or a mix that's like 90% raisins and m&ms, 10% oatmeal.  Mornings can be wonderful but I really need every advantage waking up for them.

Come at me with some live worms or exotic bog fish in the morning and I'm just going to fall asleep on my feet, issuing a groan so dire that it ushers in the end of the world.  (Sorry about that, by the way.  Basically everything happening is my fault, but I was SO tired and my mom was pushing Atkins that day).

worm is just living sausage of mystery meat
