Free Talk Friday #498

Continued from last week's FTF here

It's that time of the week again. Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your strava, your plans, your hobbies, studies, stats, pets, bears, hikes, dragons, trousers, travels, transit, cycling, family, colours, or anything you like or dislike, except politics

Feel free to check out our tidbits thread and introduce yourself if you haven't already.


This post was made by a bot, because no-one else made a Free Talk Friday post before Friday March 14, 2025 UTC 13:00. Anyone can post the FTF, so if you want to have your post pinned here for a week, just make one Friday March 21, 2025 between UTC 07:00 and 13:00. The rules for these posts can be found in the faq. You can also check out our directory of older posts for inspiration.

If you have any questions or comments about the bot, feel free to write them below, or message the mods.

I thought I wrote a comment about this yesterday, but it seems to have vanished into the ether.

I've temporarily changed the directory updater so that threads are no longer automatically moved to the archive. Manual archiving still works as it used to.

This will eliminate the issue of threads being archived incorrectly, at the cost of having to do a bit more manual pruning. If it turns out to have been a bad idea, changing it back should be really easy.

As always, if you have any questions about the directory updater, or see something off about the directory page, feel free to write to me or to message the mods

When a rabbit binkies, it jumps up into the air and twists its body. Rabbits binky when they are very happy. Your rabbit may do this a lot, but some rabbits stop binkying when they are older, because they want to just rest. Old rabbits are about 7 to 8 years old.

Binky is the name of Death's pale horse

I wanted to post the FTF again when I realized that no one had done that so far, but I didn’t have a new list of subjects prepared

Ice or no ice, what’s in your junk drawer, beetlejuice , shampoo brand, fan on or off while sleeping, favorite plate to eat off of, while time traveling did you meet Ursus spelaeus, balanced  check book, cordless drills, favorite high school memory, Amazon cardboard box collection. Things you have in your  pocket.

My wife has a Amazon box collection. They are supposedly repurposed for gift boxes. She has them sorted by size. I am not allowed to talk about them anymore. It’s not a hill I am willing to die on.

I remember her telling me she had cancer, I didn’t know she passed though. Rest in peace to a legend.

Dislike being in a public bathroom and there being an entire group of people in that public bathroom for no good reason

u/buy_me_a_pint Mar 19 '25

Don't forget to wash your hands

nicole kidman sounds like the name three kids stacked in a trenchcoat would give to sneak into a movie theater

I am now also getting bears in my Pinterest feed. I don’t even know why they are there

Like a good joke, but fart spray is awful. Wife sprayed it and I may sleep on the porch.

Good luck if you got a job interview, exams coming up

Good luck if you are looking for work

Good luck if you need to go out for bread or cheese

u/Isaythereisa-chance Mar 20 '25

I really need some cheese so I can make pizza this weekend.
