I loved my furby. the exterior broke at some point, and I always took everything apart as a kid eventually, so i took out the voice box and it would "talk" by pressing a button, i pressed that button so much i can still hear it

Honestly I thought this was going to be a guide to increasing the fluffiness of a hamster. Clickbait indeed!!!

Genuinely will be thinking about this hamster essay. Something about the conscientious listing of facts up to and INCLUDING the end just hits. Thinking about shame around "failure to love", which becomes so visible in its ABSENCE here. The child's mind..

"They threw them in the lake afterwards" is when I knew this essay should've won a Newbery Award

If we all had the pragmatism and emotional regulation of your 8 year old self, therapy would be a thing of the past!

I got halfway into this thing before I realized that the hamster is named Fluffy and you're not giving out tips about how to make your hamster fluffier.

surely my extremely highbrow, once-in-a-generation hamster essay moved the teachers to tears of gratitude and awe, not laughter

I didn't even know the CIA even published such a thing, do they not want to write cool fun facts about all those files?

It was just stats about each country - demographics, size, holidays, etc. I use it all the time for work. Can’t help but think it was taken down for nefarious reasons. What, I don’t know. But I’m angsty now.

Very strange! And nothing I can find online anywhere saying it was going to go away. Nefarious, indeed!

Strange that it happened on the same day the longest-serving member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence sent this letter to the CIA Director: https://www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/wyden_letter_to_d-ciapdf.pdf
dying at the tiny dab of honey in the corner. i agree beans on toast are delish! i will try the tomatoes and ricotta
omg i love the toast page
I'm SAT for the toast reviews
And they say journalism is dead
toast reviews hell yeah!
those brits arent lying about beans. also Tomato Ricotta looks divine
Yesss the beans!!! The pea toast sounds really good too, I'm gonna have to try that one.
french toast only getting one more point than jelly egg toast is upsetting. feeling VERY betrayed by these toast ratings...
I want to try a pea toast
@monsterousseas I see your point
@ monsterousseas actually the more I think about it… jelly egg toast is basically just deconstructed French toast. I stand by my rating
darn... is it too late for me to reccommend peanut butter and boiled egg...
@isomorphie it's not too late, but... is this a toast you actually eat? i am scared
i may be protein-maxxing.....
I will try it 😩
