corvi@lemmy.ziptoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•What other great opening lines do you know?.English
32·2 months agoI don’t think it’s technically the very first line in the book, but The Way of Kings’ “Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to kill a king.” still gives me chills.
I don’t know if it’ll work for you, but I often can’t read for long periods anymore either. Audiobooks aren’t enough stimulation on their own, but if I find a combo that uses just enough of my brain, I can make it through quite a bit.
For me personally, I play Mario Kart on a muted TV often while listening to books.
Who would benefit here, big Conch?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•“Never make a decision when you need to pee.”
12·4 months agoI’ve actually tried to live by the opposite. I wouldn’t buy a house with a full bladder, but I think it improves the quality of snap decision making.
A friend and I used to track our Overwatch ranked results based on how badly we needed to pee. It wasn’t very useful data, but it was funny.
I guess I’m one of them. I’ve never used LaTeX, but I don’t know how else I’d pronounce that.
My cat’s main redeeming feature is that I can slide my legs under her entirely to readjust positions and sometimes she doesn’t even look at me. Try to touch her, on the other hand, and it’s death.
My dog behaves like the cat in this meme.




I’m glad they’re performing as well as they are in a war for survival, but the gamification of killing makes me very uncomfortable.
