hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.
It happened.
the unimaginable power of saying "huh, guess that's not for me" and moving on with your life

i genuinely just don’t think people who don’t want to drive should have to. i think driving should be optional and it’s weird that we pressure people who are uncomfortable with it into doing it
you know who we should make operate a 4000 pound machine that goes 80 miles an hour? people who are really anxious about it
Daily dose of serotonin:
(inspired by another Poll I saw) You are now a character in a piece of media, and the rest of your story is going to be written by one random person. How is it going?
(I do not support or condone the horrible things some of these authors have done and are currently doing. This wheel is meant to be fun and lighthearted)
(also if anyone wants me to add a certain author I will!!)
(also also this is a really cool idea! Thanks anon!)
there are corners of this website where the year is still 2013. and sometimes, on beautiful nights when the veil is thin, you can find them . if you know where to look
Does the rest of the world know about tides in Britain. In fact do British people know about tides in the rest of the world. The average tidal range in the British isles is like 5 metres. The average range in the USA is like 1. The highest is I think the Severn estuary which hits 15 metres?? The Mediterranean is like 30cm. Why is this island doing this to us (rhetorical don’t make me get into wavelengths)??? The tide in Morecombe Bay has a top speed of 10mph or 30mph in the surge channels (it kills people). Do people know about this?? I just assumed the whole world was like this you mean the rest of you don’t get drilled on looking up the tide times before you go to the beach???
Oh interesting! I (Aus) do pay attention to tide times because the shoreline in my hometown is a lot of shallow flat that isn’t swimmable at low tide.
At the surf beaches I grew up near you do keep some awareness of the tide (particularly at what point the turn from high tide is obviously what’s causing the undertow), but it’s not a hazard in itself- it’s the interaction between tide, wind and seasonal factors creating rips that you worry about. Unless you’re a surfer, the lifeguard designated swimming area will have marked out a safe spot.
I just checked, the biggest tidal difference at my favourite beach is 2m.
Huh.
And then there's the Bay of Fundy, 16 meters average tide
My favourite (and nearest) beach - Buck Beck beach near Cleethorpes, has a horizontal tidal range of 1.5 miles.
(I love going out there at low tide because the constantly shifting sands throw up old wrecks from the Humber Estuary, the occasional car, and one time a downed WW2 plane
The vertical tidal range is around 6 meters, but when the tide comes in its fast and you can easily get trapped on one of the many sandbanks. In the spring we get high tides of around 7-8 meters
Which is why there's no buildings or paved roads within a couple of miles of the beach
... omg i thought everywhere was like this
Lately ive been finding myself relating to the dying pig
