    ... Lemongrass has "Razor/Abrasive" type leaves as my hand got jacked up from yesterday pulling all the dead leaves off. Just this morning I noticed red lines/cuts and bumps and is itchy as hell.!

    That as big as the universe is, it's not infinite in all dimensions. Critically, the time dimension is not infinite. We know it had a beginning. And we're fairly certain it will have an end. After that end may or may not be a new beginning, depending on whether or not the time dimension, or any of the other known dimensions, actually spring back into existence or not.

    If that makes your head hurt, look up Vacuuum Decay Theory. I'm not even gonna try to summarize it. That shit is mind-bending.

    TIL how to explore the camera app on my phone and find out how to adjust exposure and color. I also learned how much of a dimwit I am for not figuring this out sooner.

    Today, I learned a random useless fact.

    The history of the middle finger. It started back when the French were fighting the British. The British bowman were a force to be reckoned with. But whenever they were captured by the French, the French would cut off the middle finger. That finger was needed to sling the arrows. Whenever they failed to capture the bowman, the bowman would flash the two digits in a gesture of defiance while yelling "Pluck Yew!" Coincidentally, the bows were made from the Yew tree.

    Today I learned that people give Cardi B.'s music far more agency than it deserves.

    Also that apparently social media has a drastically different definition of "empowerment" than I do.

    Today you also learned that if you want a hug and moral support, Tumblr is right over there------>
