Mine is all about chickens, cats, and then a bunch of things listed as “extensive” indoor plant cultivation, climate control focus, food processing, etc.

Other than chickens and cats, it’s mostly a wishlist of hobbies I don’t actually have but have purchased supplies for through amazon, and then assumptions based on a couple brands I did buy (due to a friend getting the same, so we could intermingle the things, not because I liked it myself)

All in all, lol

I’ve licked salt licks. I grew up around farm/farm-adjacent animals, and I’ve always been very curious, so I’ve tried a lot of things my animals consume..

The flavored salt licks are fun. I genuinely understand why they like them. Especially of their diet is deficient. Bet they taste like magic if your diet isn’t just full of salt already.

For some reason that probably has to do with surface area, granulated salt tastes much much saltier than salt licks. So I’m not joking about them tasting nice, it’s a totally different thing to table salt.

My favorite part is the installers.

I just installed a 2004 sierra game (Arcanum - very hard solo, def made for co-op) and the installer threw me back to the early noughties, and it was just lovely. That green progress bar and the wildly outdated game ads were hugely pleasing.

I don’t remember the 5 one but I remember this one:

Suddenly glad I’ve had no desire to play ps5 in ages.

I should look and see if theres better options for ps4, as well, since mine is currently in need of repair anyway..

Edit: I’m confused as to why this is getting downvoted? I don’t care about internet points, but I do care about being misunderstood. I’m glad because mine should be out of date enough to use this hack, and I should look to see if there’s a similar one for ps4 as long as it needs repair anyway?

Paper doesn't degrade nearly as fast as you’d think, especially if its just damp and you aren’t putting pressure on it causing it to tear.

I used to use single sheets of newspaper to line my veg garden as weed barrier and they lasted an entire season no problem. I stopped because it’s hard to get newspaper now, and I don’t want to use colored ink pages.

Thats not… I feel like you weren’t alive yet when that transition happened.

Because CDs are objectively better in basically every way than VHS and cassette, especially for consumers. No more tapes stuck in the player, no more rewinding, no more randomly unspooled tapes, no more twisted ribbons, no more seeking static, no more heat warping, etc. plus cds take up less space overall, and you can easily use many-disc cd changers.

The market absolutely drove that transition, not manufacturers. VHS and cassette were still supported and produced for a LONG time after cds came about, because not everyone was willing to drop a ton of money to get their collection in a new format.
