To be fair to Roko, soft pretzels are the best thing at the mall

(I also want to know what year it is in-world. I miss functional indoor malls. At least the town @Canageek lives in has a good one.)

I like the idea of a personal growth spurt. Suddenly you're walking a little taller (and probably standing up straighter too).

Time for a round of "tell me something interesting." Don't be a Pintsize.

Sometimes a bird or insect can be male on one side of their body and female on the other. It's called gynandromorphism (woman-man-shape-ness).

This is a good one. I love how Marten and Faye bounce off each other.

Iris' chassis is the color of sour grapes
Wonder if that was deliberate
(though iris flowers are often blue or purple)

how can you tell Iris is having fun? She's at maximum frump, it seems unlikely

I'm kinda tempted to join the Patreon for Werewolf Mode

Also notice the bad vodka is labeled Bad Vodka

@WizardOfDocs It is entirely possible that despite the Trump, she really enjoys being drawn into things like this
@Canageek it's always possible
It just doesn't fit my model of how to tell when people are having fun
Iris refuses to give us that information, and that's part of why I don't like her.
@WizardOfDocs That's why I said not necessarily when you said we'd get along with her parents

@WizardOfDocs I think this is a reference to a specific famous academic, but I forget who

#QuestionableContentReadalong

@Canageek maybe that'll be someone's fun fact
Have you got one handy?
@WizardOfDocs There is a known molecule with not one but TWO DIFFERENT noble gases in it (Xe and Kr), and I had a class with the person who it's named after.
@Canageek that's wild. Are they also the person who created it?
@WizardOfDocs Almost certainly not, it would have been one of their grad students, but I've not looked up the paper
@WizardOfDocs Some of the fiber optic cables going into the NASDAQ stock exchange loop around many times, so that major brokerage servers on various blocks of the Manhattan financial district are the same number of light-nanoseconds away from the master trading computer. They started doing it because some of them were getting a very real, practical cheesy advantage.
@Nentuaby clever. I vaguely remember a Tom Scott video about this.

@WizardOfDocs I saw an example of a personal growth spurt while I was living in Tucson.

before: cool and mopey artist and rpg market stall co-owner, about my height, had a tall and chatty boyfriend

after: cool and happy artist, two inches taller than me, hair no longer in eyes, laughed a lot, had a short and happy girlfriend
