Yeah pearlescent paint is like that. It basically looks like a beetle’s shell or something, iridescent and changing colours depending on what angle you look at it.

[Starver]

There's also 'plastic wrap with structural colours'. Which I presume is the 'poor rich-man's option', compared to doing it as a multi-layered translucent paintjob. And can pair the bodywork with a legally-dubious window-tinting/-hueing that either attempts to match or directly contrasts with the rest.

(I just put "irridescent vinyl" into the search engine, and it was already autocompleting with the word "wrap" before I even got to that bit myself. Won't post a link, as I don't think any of the suppliers/appliers need my advertising of them.)


...I had a good old laugh, today, as I was walking miles from home and saw a leaflet on the ground. Glossy, can't have been dropped/blown there before the last bit of rain we had. It was apparently warning of the 'dangers of Fifteen Minute Neighbourhoods' and of the impending 'Eternal Lockdown'. Not sure what I found more laughable: that someone is still spending good money on advertising a crackpot misinterpretation of what they're trying to lambast, or that I came across it after a good hour or so of walking.

(Well, it amused me. I laughed out loud, and apparently startled several species of wildlife.)

Deep in a bottle of Old Grand Dad bonded 100-proof, while stumbling through youtube recommendations, I found the dichotomy of life: on the one hand you have... ...but on the other, witermlon.

Thankfully, I was then directed to this.

Reading Sims 4 bug threads. Horses in one of the last dlcs appear to be, technicslly, human sims in horse costumes, which leads to numerous !!FUN!! things. Horses dropping their act, or costumes. Horses adopting kids. Horse names being assigned to humans. Horses somehow gaining human skills, of course.

Oh God, what have they done! 

[hector13]

What is it, rule 34?

Yeah I’d rather not think about it.

[Frumple]

Uh, only if you squint, really, really hard? Mostly it's just a human 3d model with a horse skin, except the head is, like, backwards. Sorta'. It's safe to open the spoiler, just a little odd looking.

[hector13]

Well my what is it was more being uncertain which rule was “there will be porn of it”.

If the horses are basically like humans in the game, I was pretty sure I was going to see “woo hoo the horse” as an option.

[King Zultan]

I'm sure there's a bug that allows it even if people haven't found it yet.

[Frumple]

Well my what is it was more being uncertain which rule was “there will be porn of it”.

Aahh. Yeah, that's R34.

[Eric Blank]

Depending on whether future or present tense is meant, that might be rule 35. 34 states that if it exists there is porn of it. 35 states that if there isn't porn of it yet already, it will soon be made.

Remember; you can help with compliance by creating new porn.

TIL you can flush a crayon down the toilet.

I bring my little kiddo to the bathroom when I need to go pee because then I can keep an eye on them, and evidently part of me hopes a demonstration will help with toilet training, but anyway…

I had finished doing my business and was ready to flush when I heard a clink and a plop, which was a crayon being deposited in my fresh urine. This should have been foreseen given they like to put small things into big things all the time, but in between me laughing at that, trying to stop them putting their other crayon on, and debating on whether or not I should fish it out, I decided to flush with the hopeful expectation of fishing out a pissy crayon from clean water, which didn’t happen.

Whoops.

[Kagus]

Brightly-colored, waxy discharge? Should probably get that looked at, mate!

[delphonso]

If you end up with a clog later, at least it should be easy to clear.

I did that same 'flush first then fish it out' calculation with a bluetooth headphone...sayonara little guy.
