OK but we're holding hands then!

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 50 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Played in a creek. Didn't take shoes off. Was awesome, can recommend.

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 4 points 1 day ago

I'd call those sandals. Where I'm from you'd definitely want to take off your shoes lol

[–] alehc@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As long as no socks are involved you're good.

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Socks in sandals is an almost keelhaulable offense.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You just condemned every single German dad to an almost keelhauling

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

As a German, you have my permission to haul me to Kiel.

[–] villainy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Aesthetics here are chef's kiss

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I love the mosses you have! And that looks like such a refreshing dip

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Those shoes are gonna be slippery, wet and soggy the whole way back

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 days ago

Actually not. They quickly dried, took about 5-10 minutes while walking. Sure a little bit slippery at first but somehow that soon turned into even better (sticky) grip.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm immunocompromised, no thanks.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You will take your necrosis and you will like it.

My grandfather owned a farmhouse out in Nebraska, and we'd go out to the "crick" and wade around in leech infested waters and get bit by mosquitos until sundown. Then we'd pick ticks off the farm dog and dread going to the bathroom because he had a rule "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down"

He also ran a nudist colony in the desert in California during the winter months. Interesting man.

[–] 10_0@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Not the tiks 😭

[–] Matthew@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Crick is plenty cromulent, there's no need for the quotes

[–] BenFranklinsDick@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm gonna put "quotes" wherever I "damn" well please

You're not my "real" dad

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Crick is up here in Maryland too

[–] figjam@midwest.social 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Where in Maryland if you don't mind me asking? The western parts it makes sense due to west virginia infection but I imagine the further east you get the less crick you get.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

I'm FROM northern center and western Maryland. I'm on the Eastern shore now.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

this took me longer than I'd like to admit

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Oh ...I hate it.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Surprise! The creek is full of blood sucking leeches!

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

blood sucking leeches versus privacy sucking websites …

[–] fin@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Your blood will replenish itself, but your privacy will be gone forever

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago

There is no unlock origin for real life

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 6 points 2 days ago

And netflix are gonna make a series about ya

[–] parlaptie@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No thanks I don't want to get my socks wet.

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Just put plastic bags over them.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

NGL I'd prefer that to Netflix

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also I prefer the flowers to the pistol.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Exactly

It feels the right kind of welcoming with the flowers that's for sure

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Have fun. The water isn't supposed to be that color or smell by the way. Notice nothing lives in that water either. Even Beau miles won't kayak it. You do you though.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks pretty normal to me for forest stream. The bed of a slow moving stream is typically gonna be pretty dark color, and there is nothing bright around to reflect off the surface

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'm more commenting on where I live. It's common knowledge not to play in the lakes or waterways here.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Are you sure the colour isn't just the reflection of the green in the forest?

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can we look for bugs in the creek, OP

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

"we're gonna play in the creek"

I've heard worse euphemisms for sex.

going down to the creek to dip my toes in

creek is full of industrial runoff from the giant factory upstream

walk upstream to see the factory

How Memphis became a battleground over Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer

xAI’s central focus is a tool called Grok. It’s an AI chatbot, similar to ChatGPT, that the company flaunts as “having a sense of humor.” Musk has called it the “most fun AI in the world.” It has fewer rules than other AI chatbots and has been known for creating controversial deepfake images, such as Mickey Mouse as a Nazi and Kamala Harris in lingerie.

The primary purpose of the Memphis supercomputer is to provide compute power for Grok.

...

The cancer rate in South Memphis is four times higher than the national average, according to a ProPublica report. And a 2020 University of Memphis study found the life expectancy here is 10 years lower than other parts of the city. South Memphis also has elevated asthma rates, and the American Lung Association gave it a failing grade for air quality. Experts say this is largely due to the neighborhood’s proximity to Memphis’ industrial zone.

Someone dressed like that would never go outside

[–] Brahvim@lemmy.kde.social 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

That is precisely how people spending too long in the creek would look like. "Outside" is not just "urban places", is it? :|

The big eyes though? Well, about that...

what happened to the gun? We're not armed anymore? Are we sure this is a bearless environment?

~~or are there just no men in this forest? Sorry i had to make the joke~~
