Planet Zoo.
As a kid who grew up playing Zoo Tycoon, I was STOKED for a new Zoo management game. I even built a whole new computer to run it.
Turns out it’s more of a 3-D modeling program than a management/simulation game. And I don’t have the time or patience to figure it out.
Do you add milk to your tea? When oxalate is consumed with calcium, it binds in the bowel and the calcium-oxalate is passed through the stool. When you consume oxalate without calcium, your body leeches calcium from your bones and it binds in the kidney, creating stones. So just try to have a bit of calcium-rich food with your tea. 😊
The only foods that should be avoided 100% are spinach, almonds, and rhubarb. The oxalate content in those foods is insane. Like five almonds has 110mg oxalate! That’s why a lot of people who go on diets get kidney stones. They think they’re being healthy by eating big handfuls of spinach and almonds, and then wind up in the hospital.
Unfortunately black tea is high in oxalate, which in excess amounts can cause calcium-oxalate stones (the most common type of kidney stones). It’s recommended that kidney stoners keep their daily oxalate intake below 50mg, and a cup of black tea can have up to 15mg.
My heart says unsweetened black iced tea, but after a bout of kidney stones I guess I’d have to go with an iced herbal tea. Maybe something minty.
Tell myself to quit being such a piece of shit and to get it together.
The results are variable.
Yeah it feels super icky. Especially since my fake Facebook keeps recommending friends I know in real life. And not just local people, but people all the way across the state. How does it know that???
I would love this. It would make it much easier to suss out the general culture of an instance.
That “weird food thing” you keep minimizing is called Anorexia Nervosa. Get treatment. You are missing out on what should be the best years of your life.
I try not to be chronically online. I’ve never used Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, or BeReal. I briefly used TikTok but deleted it when I felt my brain melting.
Currently, I have a fake Facebook account I use to access marketplace (it’s the best way to get expensive baby stuff for cheap). On mobile I use Lemmy, on my desktop I pop into reddit. I also love my gossip discord for mindless entertainment.
A little dull tbh. I still pop over to reddit when I’m on my desktop to visit my favorite subreddits (especially my bumper group). Hopefully Lemmy gets better, but I think step one is the community needs to stop being so goddamn meta and focus on building active communities.
I used to have such good conversations with my husband over AITA posts. We especially loved when our verdict ran counter to the circle jerk.
This! Lemmy feels like such a sausage party right now.
My ultimate guilty pleasure – gossip and snark communities.
Every. single. action. is. so. tedious. The second I tried to place my first path and build an enclosure, I knew I was in over my head.
I understand the finicky controls are what allow people to build incredible, elaborate structures. But I don’t want to spend 12 hours designing a crystal monkey enclosure.
