A small article about a small paradox that applies to bigger social issues, and the value of community

A short story I wrote.

I know it is Medium, but there should be no paywall.

I have too much time on my hands lately. I have decided to challenge myself and try to write something every day. I like writing essays, but sometimes I also enjoy science fiction stories. If it is alright with this community, I will post those stories here.

Dear mods: Not sure if this counts as self-promotion. If it does please remove it ASAP, or tell me and I will do so myself.

This is a first contact diegetic document. Talks about deep time, mega engineering, and existentialism.

This is an article I wrote in response to a thing that annoys me.

What Saddetective and GlizzyGuzzler gonna do about it?

My friends keep sharing video links from all social media, and I really don't want to download tiktok, Instagram, Facebook,...

is there an app that will open those links and show me the video? also given that some of those apps require an account.

I make 9kg of bread every weekend (reasons). so when I wake up I start blooming the yeast: 3268gr of water, 109g of sugar, and about 20gr of yeast. I had to leave for something so I came back two hours later, it smelled amazing, next step is to mix in the salt (218gr) and flour (5440gr) , I usually put the flour first then salt. but this time I put the salt first.

What happened? it fizzled like a soda, like mixing baking soda and vinegar, so many bubbles appeared immediately. I noticed because of the sound it made (was looking at the scale numbers).

Obviously it cannot be a chemical reaction because salt does not really react with anything there, at most it kills some yeast cells before mixing because some parts would have high salt content. there has to be some cool biology involved. And I refuse to ask any AI for that
