I've heard Cody Rhodes is supposed to return as a heel

[north quarry]

Most Likley it will happen sometime in the next few monthss

[lavish salmon]

The only heel Cody Rhodes I liked was Stardustm you think he could return as Stardust as a heel?

[north quarry]

Nah i dont see him bringing that Gimmick back

[lavish salmon]

Man I miss Dolph Ziggler but since Impact and Wwe some times have collab events do you think he could do a run through tna on wwe?

Wwe did Dolph dirty towards the end it think.

[north quarry]

Maybe would love to see him Appear again in WWE Rather it be on main roster or NXT

[lavish salmon]

I hated heel ziggler but can't deny he was great talent for wwe

Dolph Ziggler was just the guy you loved to hate he was that good.

Oh Noooo.

[wicked chasm]

Not sure if I should post this in here. Can anyone help me with how to adjust my settings for my controller on Xbox series s? When trying to place objects or move the cursor to the well or character to add the purple pixie dust trail to them, I think it’s a little too sensitive

[formal cypress]

Hey all! I bought the switch2 yesterday, I have been playing DV on my PC through Steam for awhile. Is there a way to now play it on Switch2 without having to pay for it again? Or do I basically have to pay for it again to be able to cross save and play on both?

[bleak prism]

Question, what are people using to play DDV? RN I'm using a switch lite and I want to get a handheld that has a bigger screen and performs better etc. Originally I was plannint to get the switch 2 but honestly... no! I still want to get something else though and rn I've only used the switch but I pretty much only play ddv or other cozy games. What are your suggestions and why?

[spark light]

@formal cypress @bleak prism hey there! This channel is for general chat unrelated to DDLV, so you may have better luck in our #spoiler-chat channel

[bleak prism]

thanks!

You're welcome, good luck!

I wanna learn to cook one day, but I feel like I’d need my own place/kitchen first. Although the cost of living is crazy rn

[spark light]

Do you currently share a kitchen? It can definitely be harder without your own space to store ingredients and cook in, but maybe the people you share the kitchen with might be interested in learning too, or might support you in learning? Maybe they'd like to contribute somehow in exchange for you making meals to share with them?

[whole tree]

I still live with my parents

[spark light]

Have you ever considered a meal subscription box like Home Chef, Blue Apron, HelloFresh, etc? I learned a lot about cooking by following their recipes and they have different "levels" with easier or harder complexity. If it's within budget, maybe they'd be open to paying for a box if you will make dinner for everyone from it.

[latent trellis]

I keep meaning to sign up for a meal service and I keep forgetting

[upbeat nest]

Hello fresh is good, used it a few times but it isnt someti=hing i can really use budget wise alot.

[spark light]

I've tried a few! Right now I'm with Home Chef because at the time I switched from HelloFresh, HC was a better deal and the boxes came more prepped than HF so it saved me extra time

Yeah it's definitely not for everyone. For me personally, I was able to work it into my budget and the cost has been worth it for me to avoid the meal planning, ingredient buying, and partial prep

[upbeat nest]

If i could i would use them, i find food planing, cooking not really fun

[spark light]

Yeah me too. I cook because I need food to love and want to be somewhat healthy about it, not because I enjoy it haha

[golden cairn]

Mith you too BT

[outer thicket]

Nintendo switch 2 question if anybody here has one:

Have you been able to connect your switch 2 pro controller to your switch 1?

[whole tree]

I have actually

The only problem is I’m not sure how much of their meals I’d actually eat

[spark light]

Ah, I see. Yeah if you're a picky eater or have very strict dietary requirements it may not work

[tender sedge]

I'm a pretty picky eater as well lol

[spark light]

Not me! Not at all. I love trying new foods

[tender sedge]

Hmm,

I saw some recipes on facebook I’d wanna try out

Weird Al is a treasure. Has she ever seen Milo Murphy's Law?

Toontown? What is this

[worldly arrow]

Toontown was an old like 2000 game made by disney!

[crude granite]

Oh no…. Did everyone cry??

[spark light]

[sly rapids]

My giant shadow plush came in. He's smaller than he was listed as, so he sadly doesnt match my sonic. but hes close enough, esp since i cant find any proof one the same size as sonic even exists.
so, its good enough. shadows just a bit of a shortcake ❤️

[crude granite]

I’ve been waiting until I need a really good cry to watch it again.

[clever marlin]

If you need a really good cry you should watch how my life turned out

[spark light]

@upbeat nest it was an old MMO game for kids. I always thought it looked super cool but it had a subscription fee. The official game has shut down but Disney has allowed some free fan remakes!

[crude granite]

Oh man… have any networks picked it up or is this just a 30 second tiktok?

[clever marlin]

No one wanted it so i will be burning it on VCDs

[tender sedge]

oh no dood why burning something of yours?

[upbeat nest]

Oh sounds cool. Yeah the sub thing would have been a turn off for me also.

Are the fans allowed to use disney assets

[spark light]

From my understanding they basically use the base game as it was, and also add some of their own new elements.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toontown_Online

[sly rapids]

technically speaking, probably not.
But, as long as they're not profiting off of it, many large companies will just pretend they dont know it exists/ignore it and let it be.

depending how much theyve changed things, it might fall under fair use/parody? but most i see are pretty faithful/look identical, so are just in a kind of grey area where its not worth ip holders time/money to do anything about it, plus it looks bad on the brand to go after fans, so they just turn a blind eye to it
(Grain of salt, i am not a lawyer. this is just from my best understanding of these things)

[spark light]

Yeah the Closure section of the link above talks about the fan remakes a bit

yea cause club penguin had a rewrite too and they were doing great for awhile until they did something involving money and disney shut them down, now a new club penguin is up and running that is just volunteers for the game and everything is free (makes my little kid heart happy cause my parents didnt let me get membership for club penguin on top of toontown )

[teal agate]

And now we have Toontown Rewritten, which I need to get back into playing lol

it looks really cool but too bad i won't play it cos i'm not really a fighting gamer

[foggy nacelle]

@jaunty cape Hi! I just saw your message. So far it looks good, and it is running a bit faster. Main thing I’ve noticed compared to Switch (1) is that changing zones (eg going in and out of Scrooge’s shop) is taking less time on the Switch 2.

[idle trellis]

Thats an improvement.. Although I mostly go into Scrooge's when I need a drink or a bathroom break 🤣

[foggy nacelle]

I’m still working my way through buying items, so I have new stock in there every day to purchase. Plus I use the crafting station in there because I don’t have one anywhere else in the Plaza (in all the other biomes I have a crafting station, stove, and Goofy’s stall next to my gate/well)

Oh and when mining/fishing with a companion with that attribute, there’s less lag in getting bonus items from them.

@idle trellis I hear ya: my go-to spot for snack/bathroom breaks is the middle of the Plaza because it’s such a high traffic area 😂

[brisk echo]

Went into target when they opened to see if they had any and they had three bundles plus the free tote!! (now the wait begins for all my games to redownload 🥲)

i have been sitting her like. 20 minutes. waiting for my food to cook. only to realize i never turned the eye back on

[upbeat nest]

The eye?

[unique pollen]

So i need to tell y’all about a horrible realization i had last night

I remember vividly the day i got my nintendo DS

My bookface memories just made me realize my DS is 20 years old.

[wintry quarry]

i remember when i got my ds i think i was 13 lol

i just turned 38 so that math aint mathin

my ds came with with a metroid game and i dont even like metroid i remember that but it was wild the 3dness

[unique pollen]

I wouldve been 8 in 2005 so my timeline tracks, mine was a DS lite not the original, im not sure if there’s a difference in release dates

Hold the phone my timeline DOESNT track, ds lite was released in 2006

[wintry quarry]

hold the phone is such an old way of saying xD

[unique pollen]

So it’s 19 then 🤣 not better but still

[wintry quarry]

i gota try saying hold the phone in causal conversation in 2025

[unique pollen]

It’s either that or i forget which server i’m in and revert to the sailor mouth HAHAHA

[wintry quarry]

pretty sure hold the phone isn't a curse word in my diectionary

so like lilo in stitch live action this month? whose ready xD

[unique pollen]

Still mourning pleakliana 😔✊🏼 but i’ll probably watch it once its on streaming

[wintry quarry]

going to the movies for a family of four still cost about a 100 dollers we skimp

[unique pollen]

Yeah absolutely not 😭 i’m not paying huge money for that sensory overload, i’ll have my cozy blankets, brightness and volume settings thankyouuuuuu

[wintry quarry]

i take my kids phones away and be like we're going to the movies like or not bwahahaha evil dad laugh

imagine the magic of chicken jockey

so when i was a kid my nana would sneak snanks in her purse is that still not a thing?

me a little greimlin looking aroudn making sure no one was lookin gobble gobble ehehe

thats where i got all my evil backstory points from

um well thats me being evil disney evil

[safe palm]

That's totally still a thing, and moms usually don't get searched. I take a purse and it's usually full of candy, I just don't stuff it so full it's OBVIOUS

[late tusk]

I do the same LOL

[golden cairn]

Hiiii

[hard canopy]

I went swimming for an hour in my neighbor pool with my mom and did some exercise

[spark light]

I love swimming for exercise! It lets you work almost any muscle and it's great for a hot day because it helps you stay cool

[hard canopy]

Yes it does

[latent trellis]

They honestly don’t care as long as you don’t make it obvious lol

[latent trellis]

I wish we had a pool 😭

[spark light]

Yeah I'm very fortunate to have friends who let me use theirs

[safe palm]

Yeah, that's why when I stuff it, I make sure it's not. Wookie has a few coats that you can put a TON of stuff in the pockets and it doesn't change the shape of his coat, so sometimes we do that in the winter since I use my cane more in the winter because the ground is slippy and trying to navigate purse + cane is...a challenge.

[untold wadi]

That’s a light description of that. (I also use a cane)

[safe palm]

It is - very light. I don't have the family friendly words to describe how difficult it can be to manage multiple things when you have a cane!

[latent trellis]

I need to marry rich so I can get a house with a pool and be that friend

[upbeat nest]

I always did that as a kid / young adult

Learned it from mom

[untold wadi]

I showed this and the first words were "that's an incredibly mild way of putting it"

[dense parcel]

I really wish I had a pool

I can’t because my house is on a hill

[sly rapids]

i have a cane and i do hurt less when i use it
but i also dont use it most the time even tho i prob should cause its such a hassle

especially when i go to the mall and am trying to carry multiple bags and my phone and the cane- it just hits a point id rather just be in pain than dealing with the cane lol

I mean i still hide it like im going to be arrested for smuggling but yknow

[safe palm]

I don't know. I read the sign, it says they do, I take the risk, but I don't make it obvious. In all my 48 years it's never been an issue

[supple knot]

Does anyone here play Palia? I'm curious about it. I know it's free-to-play, but has a premium shop. What all is in the shop? And does the base game have a story to it? Sorry if it's not okay to ask here. I can delete this if it doesn't belong.

[tender sedge]

I don't play Palia anymore since it's not into anything for me.

[dense parcel]

I have a Nintendo switch already

[spark light]

I haven't played in a while but it definitely has a story, and the paid content is cosmetic like clothing, pets, etc

[supple knot]

Thank you. I keep seeing videos by some youtubers I follow showing off homes and such in the game. And they look amazing. Does the game have much combat? And if it does, is there a feature for auto-targeting? I can't aim for garbage otherwise. xD

[spark light]

When I played there was no combat, but some of the activities (hunting, fishing, bug catching) can be a little tricky

[supple knot]

It was the hunting I saw. I didn't see any targeting but the player could have had it off. Something to look in to. Thank you very much for answering my questions.

[spark light]

You're welcome! I don't remember auto targeting unfortunately. I have similar struggles with aiming (or especially aiming and running at the same time) and I managed okay but was definitely not a pro haha

I got interesting offers for the Switch 2 (390€ alone or 450€ with MKW near where I live) and it’s brand new

It’s like if I bought myself my phone (460€)

@clever marlin Your opinion ?

[tender elk]

XD

[vivid owl]

Plus I can pay in 4 times (450 divided by 4= 112,5€ on 4 months)

[clear blade]

I can format my Nintendo switch because I had put in a new email. It's the email that gets transferred to a new cellphone every single time. So yeah I have to rebuy the games. That I had bought once before. But that's okay.

[clever marlin]

Are we still talking about mario kart or sonic or

[late tusk]

its giving early 2000's emo kids.

basically my teen years

[vivid owl]

Well, I got the right offer (300€ with MKW included) so I want your opinion on

It’s brand new, never touched @clever marlin

[clever marlin]

i mean 300 sounds like a good price compared the original plus if you really want the kart of mario

[vivid owl]

Yes plus the guy is a professional, he got a professional workplace number

And he’s the only one who can send it to me at my mailbox, he send me the pictures very quickly

[north quarry]

That is Totally messed up when you dont get invited been there before where you feel left out

[silver dragon]

I mean I would have honestly turned it down but it's the principal of the thing. Mainly bc she was told that I got an invite but this is the first time hearing anything about it

Speaking of work I had to stock so much and take out so much trash it filled the dumpster also had to mop the bathroom floor because some kid couldn't make it to the toilet so yeah long day 😂

[north quarry]

Oof that doesnt sound like Fun to do on a Saturday

[ripe lynx]

Tomorrow is going to be slow as most Sunday are at my work

[tender sedge]

lol

[ripe lynx]

Yep but at least I got it all done with an clocked out in time plus had a better day than my coworker he quit today tho our manager is having him show up tomorrow

[tender sedge]

geez what's wrong with the other co-worker if can ask?

[ripe lynx]

He was having a bad day he cussed out that he was quitting mainly because our store is poorly training people but he had a customer pay with their phone and they left before it went through which is one reason why I personally am glad I don't do cashier

[tender sedge]

hmm that's odd.

[ripe lynx]

Because if they don't pay it guess who has to pay for it the cashier 💀

[tender sedge]

yup very odd

[ripe lynx]

But yeah I'm close to quitting too if my assistant manager keeps getting on my high horse like today she was nagging about the beer needing to be stocked and when I told her all I was doing today she said that I was lolly gagging even tho I was clearly busy with other stuff but

Im a stupid human being, I get scammed…

My seller is a scammer and he refuse to give me a refund, making lies and fraud. All of this for a SWITCH 2 that I can have in person !

I blocked him after I tried everything to make him understand my situation.

And the worst, he stole a real workplace number, where I tried to get his name but I didn’t find him. How terrible.

Sorry I should’ve said that here, but I am so lost and make myself a dumb person

[devout lark]

How did you pay?

[vivid owl]

Via my bank application @devout lark

I called my advisor to see if I can get my opposition but since it’s closed until Tuesday, it’s pretty much over

[south blaze]

we live, we learn

[teal agate]

Oh man I'm so sorry to hear that, scammers are the worst!

[vivid owl]

I think I will take a time out of video games for a while, cause I’m sorry but it’s so expensive to buy and very easy to trick people

I think it’s time to focus on job and irl than that, at least for a while

[south blaze]

understandable 🥺

[vivid owl]

One advice: take your console in proper hands, it’s more worth the price.

For my end, it’s the last thing I would bought from Nintendo

And video games in general, better keeping your games safe on PC

Im going to take a big break from social media for now

When I would be better, I would come back but now it’s enough Internet for today

[devout lark]

Or use PayPal goods and services so you're always protected

My bf posted that for me. He does more discord stuff than I do. But he’s not in this server to know there’s specific 🙄 channels for so much stuff

[vast kiln]

See and thats bull bcuz it deletes my posts so Nah my post will stay here. Thanks for nothing

[devout lark]

The suggestion gets sent directly to Gameloft, it doesn't stay in channel to respect every person's privacy. There is absolutely no need to be rude

[vast kiln]

Dude Im just being an honest human being. Aint nothing rude about it. Speaking my mind. Maybe you havent heard of Freedom of Speech

[devout lark]

Freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequence

I was providing helpful information on where you can send server suggestions directly to the server admins so they see it but you don't have to use it.

Does kingdom hearts 4 count as a game to be excited for😅 (sorry this is so late Dx)

[hearty kite]

One of my headcanons for one of my DLV AUs. 😊

Maple, the valley ruler, has had some interesting interactions with one of her most reclusive villagers, though they were never frequent, especially before the forgetting. However, in the beginning, she lacked a sort of fear of the Mistress, and her bright and curious (albeit, a little naive) nature stunned even Maleficent to the point of inaction when the child approached her in her dragon form.

Fast forward to after the forgetting, and while Maple is fighting to stop the Neverafter, she struggles against a bitterness against the Mistress for stealing her Waking World creativity…but the Mistress holds a grudge against her for leaving the realm and forgetting her of all people. Through Maple getting wounded by a spell called “The Unwriting”, both are forced to come to terms with this present tension in their own “unique” ways.

Apologies if this is an odd question, but are people here familiar with the Hercules series?

I'm trying to figure out which monsters are confirmed to be Echidna's children. Most of these are pretty obvious, but can anyone make out who that is between the minotaur and Orthos (the two-headed cyclops)? Part of me thinks it's Cerberus, but I'm really struggling with the visual

THE DDLV HOSE SOCK LORE

The birth of the hose sock meme:
#no-spoiler-chat message
(and, after a break, the REAL fun began:
#no-spoiler-chat message)

There was even a suggestion of making it a critter companion before the game launched
#no-spoiler-chat message
#no-spoiler-chat message
which turned into a formal suggestion when the actual community-designed critter contest began #1103050235321794580 message

It wasn't until much later Ed found out and wanted to burn the socks because he's a villain intent on ruining our fun. But we got emoji out of it! #no-spoiler-chat message

AND THEN: Hose Sock royalty chimes in #off-topic message

If you have ever wondered why the server has emoji, this lore is the origin

And then, after all this, when the ADT/game launched there were no Hose Socks. They had to make an announcement about it (near the bottom): #📢game-news message

TL;DR: ||Before the game came out we saw the label "Hose Socks" in a promo screenshot and thought it was hilarious, and it became a huge server inside joke and that's why Gameloft gave us the emoji ||

Hey Pam!

[hard canopy]

Hi badtiming

[crude granite]

We have a pull string Toy Story woody doll that we’ve had for YEARS and occasionally he’ll just start talking. Like he’s upstairs and all of us are downstairs and he’s all HEY HOWDY HEY. Most of the time he talks right before a big crack of thunder so I’m assuming it has to do with pressure or sound waves or he’s just scared of storms
Either way- it creeps me out every time.

[spark light]

Haunted Woody just wants to protect you

[tender sedge]

lol yup

[crude granite]

[north quarry]

Yes take Notess Mousy

[tender sedge]

poor mousy lol

[crude granite]

I need Haunted Woody to calm down during thunderstorms

[spark light]

Or maybe he's afraid of storms and just needs a hug

[hard canopy]

I a, scared of storms honestly

[crude granite]

I will send you haunted woody. He can OCCASIONALLY alert you of a storm immediately before it occurs.

[tender sedge]

lol oh dear Pam.

[hard canopy]

Yes

[spark light]

I live in a house with multiple cats. More mysterious noises? Bring it on

[tender sedge]

thinking oh no about this lol

[spark light]

I'd probably be in trouble if my house actually became haunted because the ghost would knock something over and I'd just yell "get off the table, Mo!" from my room then roll over and go back to sleep

[crude granite]

Poor Mo would be so hurt.
Am innocent.

I’ll represent Mo in a court of law.

[golden cairn]

Got my new case and finally added my neighbor Totoro phone charm but it’s so hard to remove the current case I have on

[spark light]

I was going to say "yeahhh good luck with the defense" but then I realized he already gets away with all the naughty stuff he does anyway so maybe it'd be an easy job after all

[crude granite]

All in a day’s work. What can I say? I’m good at my job.

I hope you had a wonderful vacation!

[ripe lynx]

Chicka chicka Slim Shady

I think I got my mom sick cause I was sick yesterday and today she is sick

[spark light]

Or maybe someone else got you both sick and she took longer to show?

[ripe lynx]

Possibly 🧐 but whomever shall it be that made us sick

[spark light]

Not me!

[ripe lynx]

Honestly I blame having McDonald's and Taco Bell for dinner should've had just 1 not both but I was very hungry the day before yesterday

To be fair tho I ate nothing for lunch or breakfast that day if I remember correctly

Yesterday I only had McDonald's nuggets and a sprite to drink

[south blaze]

hi

[ripe lynx]

Honestly think I ate too much and my mom got sick from Arby's Lamb sandwich she got yesterday while I was sick but I don't know for sure how she got sick tho just guessing

[spark light]

Howdy howdy

[spark light]

Arby's has a lamb sandwich?!

[ripe lynx]

Yep it's new that why she tried it

[south blaze]

hi beautiful i hope ur having a nice timezone

I would rather be at home napping, but hey, what are ya gonna do? Haha

Nice! Time to relax?

[south blaze]

yesss stuffing my face with grapes, My cat loves to lick my grapes before I eat them because they are wet and cold

[ripe lynx]

I'm going to the store soon to get something to make for dinner tonight we don't know what yet going to see what deals are going on

Yummy grapes 🍇 wish I had some

[spark light]

I would like to hear more about this cat

[south blaze]

his name is Baby, he is my son, he cuddles and purrs 90% of our time together, he doesn't like chicken or fish, he is very intelligent and in tune with my emotions, he knows when people are rotten, i love him
american shorthair, gray and white

[spark light]

Awww what a sweet boy! You are so blessed to have each other!

[south blaze]

we saved each other, soul bonded forever

[ripe lynx]

Speaking of cats I got a cat carrier at 5 below it was in their beyond 5 section

[south blaze]

is 5 below the name of a store?

[ripe lynx]

Yes

It's mostly cause almost every item is 5 dollars or less but there is a section where it's more than 5 dollars calling beyond 5

[south blaze]

Well I suppose that's nice of them to organize every $5 item into one section haha

[spark light]

I love Five Below

It's great for stocking stuffers around Christmas time

[ripe lynx]

I found great magnets and posters

[south blaze]

i want to visit one

[heavy scroll]

5 below has a 5 beyond section? that sounds… counterintuitive

[ripe lynx]

Speaking of Christmas stuff I got a stitch magnet that says merry stitchmas

[south blaze]

It probably used to only be truly 5 below until inflation over time, like how Dollar General used to have everything for $1 until inflation

[heavy scroll]

we’ve got good ol’ Poundland and Poundstretchers here and boy do I try and make my pounds STRETCH

[spark light]

It's like a store I saw once that was called "Everything's a Dollar!" and they stuck another sign up that added "and more!"

[ripe lynx]

True but they had to name the store something and 5 below and beyond sounds like copying bed bath and beyond

[heavy scroll]

ah, similar happened to Poundland, where everything is more than a pound

[spark light]

They still have good deals on the things that are more than $5 too, and lots of interesting gift ideas

[heavy scroll]

I assume the $5 doesn’t include the tax? That’s always thrown me off when I visited America

[ripe lynx]

And dollar tree used to be everything for a dollar

[south blaze]

oh was it dollar tree? thought it was dollar general, I always get those two confused

[spark light]

Yeah Dollar Tree was the one where everything was $1. Now it's all $1.25 minimum

[ripe lynx]

Think dollar general always been over a dollar and dollar tree has just recently started but I could be wrong and both could had started with it

[south blaze]

No I'm pretty sure one of them was always more than a dollar
At least as long as I've been alive anyway

[spark light]

Yeah Dollar General was always more than a dollar

[ripe lynx]

I wish I liked Taco Bell when they had their 5 layer burrito for 89 cents

https://tenor.com/view/taco-bell-beefy-5-layer-burrito-fast-food-tex-mex-gif-45516246874778537

[golden cairn]

I only tried and loved the Crunchwrap supreme lol

[ripe lynx]

I still get the 5 layer burrito just now in it's 5 dollar box deal

But I could have 3 of them for under the 5 box deal if only

When's deflation supposed to happen

[south blaze]

I only recently tried Taco Bell for the first time because my mom sent me a gift card

i had the sweet brown balls with white slime inside idk what they're called, and also tried the breakfast crunch wraps, it was all fantastic surprisingly

[spark light]

Ohhhhh the Cinnabon bite thingies?

[south blaze]

yess they were so delicious, I kind of wish I didn't have them because it has taken so much willpower to not go back and get more

[ripe lynx]

The cinnamon twist can be good depending if you get them fresh enough

[nimble mural]

Why do hospitals have to be freezing ice cold

[vivid owl]

To keep the patients fresh and maybe to keep money for medics 🥶

[spark light]

Yeah I believe it helps keep the environment more sterile

[south blaze]

the last hospital i worked at wasn't cold

[ripe lynx]

Cause cold makes people sick and makes hospitals more money

[vivid owl]

Lucky, it’s rare those days 👀

[ripe lynx]

But hey that's just a theory a conspiracy theory

[vivid owl]

A G A M E Theory 🕹️

[south blaze]

thanks for watching

[vivid owl]

Thanks Doc ! 😷

[ripe lynx]

Ehh what's up Doc

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-vacation-gif-15864076169644437734

[spark light]

It could be somewhat limited to different areas of the hospital, parhaos? The ER always seems cold to me, presumably because bacteria thrive in warmer temperatures and you really want to control it with high risk patients, but some of the other departments are more comfortable

[vivid owl]

I believe it’s more technical and related to the bacteria reaction to the warm/cold atmosphere 🤔

[spark light]

Yeah, that's what I mean. The cold temperature helps to limit the growth/spread of bacteria

So in the ER where you're dealing with a lot of people crammed into an area, many of whole are there for quick treatment of what may be bacterial, they do what they can to quell it

[vivid owl]

And to keep money for medics or anything that makes a hospital a hospital 😂

[golden cairn]

Hi hi I I am am KC

[vivid owl]

Hi KC 👋 😊

[ripe lynx]

So bored 🥱

[vivid owl]

I thought you would wrote a book 📕 😂

[ripe lynx]

I was just spamming out of boredom but deleted it so it doesn't break rules

[south blaze]

i was a housekeeper so i knew literally every single inch of the entire hospital haha

would make sense to keep it cold though in case someone starts fainting

[ripe lynx]

I'm tired of waiting for us to get ready to go to the store and get some food for dinner tonight

[vivid owl]

What’s for dinner tonight ? 😋

[spark light]

I mean to be fair, I am also basically part reptile and get cold super easily so others may be fine when I'm freezing 😅

[ripe lynx]

No clue probably soup considering most of us are sick

[vivid owl]

Same, we are snakes 🐍 ❄️

[ripe lynx]

Cause yeah my mom got sick today and got my step dad sick and I was sick yesterday I not sure if we're going to even go considering the drivers are sick and I can't drive

Good thing is if they got like what I had it only lasted 1 day at least for me it did but everyone different

[hard canopy]

I can’t drive either

[vivid owl]

24 to 72 hours I think in general

[spark light]

If only you had kept your house freezing cold maybe this could have been avoided

(In all seriousness though, hope you all feel better soon!)

[ripe lynx]

I'm personally too scared to drive I've seen too many accidents and lost my grandma to an accident

[hard canopy]

Oh so sorry to hear that

[spark light]

I do think they soup sounds like a wonderful dinner. It's always nice when you're sick

[ripe lynx]

I wish I could have it cold but other people complain about it

[spark light]

Yeah that would be me 😅
The thermostat is set to 75°F at work right now and I've got goosebumps

I was just making a cold hospital joke

[ripe lynx]

I shaved my beard and now I feel the cooler at work and I think I'm going to start working with a scarf 🧣

Slytherin scarf to be precise 🐍

[spark light]

You could get one of those crocheted beanies with an attached crotcheted beard. Then you could wear it at work but take your beard off once you got home!

[ripe lynx]

I'd rather the crochet Shrek knight helmet if I can find where to get it

[spark light]

Oh that sounds cool too

[ripe lynx]

We could probably be ordering some food but idk they aren't answering their phones

flour tortillas with butter

[south blaze]

right now it has every single vitamin and mineral the human body needs except a significant source of vitamin D so i think next time i'll experiment with fortified rice milk so it can be the ultimate healthy all in one dish, i just expect i'll have to add with it more spice or maybe a lot more spice and a bit of dark chocolate
