  • Imagine if instead of going to the bar for a beer you went to the restaurant to eat some THC infused food

    Brother I’ve been imagining this since legalization here. More than a few restaurateurs were as well, only to be disappointed by the current legislation.

    My kingdom for a legal, indoor cannabis consumption space that doesn’t have to get around things by being a funded experiment or ‘grey area, members only “private club”’ (translation: open as long as cops can’t be arsed to bother raiding, and you do a little kabuki theatre the first time you visit). And tinctures, infused drinks and edibles are the clear best choices of RoA in those spaces given anti-smoking laws.






  • Before my local pub closed, there was a friendly paleontologist who would pop in from time-to-time.

    My favourite thing was to go up to her and say “So in Jurassic Park…”, which always prompted an impromptu lecture about dinosaurs, what Jurassic Park (any of them) got wrong, and whatever else she was thinking about, which was always super interesting.

    Last thing I learned about was heated Discord debates among her colleagues about dire wolves.



  • The day it got legalized in Canada, all of a sudden 95% of the paranoia I could get from weed magically disappeared.

    The remaining 5% was the “I’m relatively sure that, in spite of this never happening, I am going to die of a heart attack today because I smoked a strong sativa**”)

    *Maybe it actually has happened, idk.
    *inb4 “Actually pretty much all weed these days is hybridized to the point that sativa and indica aren’t really useful categories that you can map onto acute effects”. I know, I really just mean the racier stuff that is commonly, if problematically, called sativa.







  • Lol, I’m a booster of the term sh.it.heads for members of my Lemmy instance of choice [exactly as is, broken link and all], so I feel like I’m the wrong person to ask :p

    ‘Toot’ for Mastodon posts makes some sense to me - where ‘twitter’ and ‘tweet’ are reminiscent of bird song, ‘toot’ for a service whose mascot is an ancestor of the elephant fits. ‘Trumpet’ feels a little longform - a ‘toot’ captures the short form a bit better. Heck, this follows for the fart interpretation too - quote child me to my father once, “A toot sounds like ‘toot toot’. That was ‘blaaaarrrrrrrrrgh’”

    Skeet? From what I’m reading, it’s an unofficial term combining ‘(blue)sky’ and ‘tweet’, partially for differentiation but I imagine in part because it’s hilarious. Official term IIRC is just a post.

    Idk man - people just choose terms and whatever is repeated the most frequently eventually becomes standard nomenclature. 🤷‍♂️
