Who said anything about smiling?

They smile. I look bemused.

Be sure to smile afterwards

Ah, you lot are always worth a chuckle.

A cold, hard chuckle only very distantly related to a smile.

Was having a dream where I played some weird-ass Civ V-like turn-based strategy game, where my (one-use, for some reason) sniper unit stationed in the Alps one-shot a tank unit in Norway.

This is the one of the two things* I remember from that dream, so I didn't post it in the dream thread.

*I was also eating some kind of soup with avocado pieces in it.

damn millennials, like toast wasn't bourgeois enough, now it's soup you're after

know your limits you punks, stay in your lane

Are Mexicans the original hipsters? They were doing it before it was cool.

I mean, they did invent the avacado

[bloop_bleep]

It’s more that they rescued it. Avocados were designed to be eaten by large animals that were able to excrete the relatively gigantic seeds, including, I think, the woolly mammoth. After most such large herbivores died out, the avocados were unfortunately left without adequately-sized behinds to spread their offspring, condemning them to the evolutionary pile of failed ideas. Humans in general, however, have adequately-sized hubris for just about anything, so they began cultivating avocados for their own use, saving them from extinction.

Wow, that's hardcore. I generally panic for the rest of the day after being the target of an unprovoked smile.

I've had random strangers ask me to smile more, due to my autistic stone-facing.

Gotta love these facilities that are designed for geriatric old people without any fat in their skin-- Especially during the summer.

Either that, or they had a European architect design this building, because there is no goddamn AC in the main parts of the building, and it is 90+% humidity, and 80F+.

I am sportin' a faux turban made of a folded up face towel loaded with ice, and it's JUST enough to not be suffering heat stroke.

In previous versions of DF you could make yourself fireproof with controlled fire exposure by melting the fat off your body

It actually still kind of works. If you strip naked (so that nothing can light on fire or heat up too much) and melt all your fat off, you lose a lot of what fire can affect. The only problem is that you can still be turned to ash from heat that is too high.

The molten lava diet is not my idea of a fun time, even if it probably would work (just with lots of kidney and liver complications from all that fat entering the bloodstream in liquid form).

I will instead just kvetch about the heat and humidity, while sporting a rag on my head.

It must be post WW2 construction;  They were rebuilding from total devistation, and wanted to build something to fucking last, because they could not afford to have to redo it constantly, while everything else needed rebuilding too.

Woke up early in the morning to my housemate's cat yelling loudly. I got up, was about to go the toilet and then check out what's all the fuss.

That's when I looked at the floor next to my bed and something was not as it should be. There was something extra on the floor. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, squinted, and looked again in disbelief. The cat had apparently decided to serve me breakfast: there was a dead bird on the floor, what the hell? Now, my housemate's cat is an elderly indoor cat, so there was a mystery going on here. How the hell did the cat manage to catch a bird indoors?

Turned out someone had left the kitchen window slightly ajar, and most likely the cat had been lurking there, breathing some fresh air, when an unfortunate bird had flown onto the window sill. And then *WHACK!*, the cat struck with its claws and caught the flying meal and brought it to me... Or atleast that's what I presume happened.

[Il Palazzo]

How did you react to the grim offering of the elderly cat, though? Did you observe due ceremony, and consume the avian flesh in full sight of the subordinate animal - thus validating the cat's social status in the colony by accepting the life it had to take, as ordained by the ancient laws of nature? Or did you scorn the sacrifice and discard it, condemning the ageing indoor feline to leave this world never having done enough to satiate the thirst for blood of its masters?
