Idle. Sometimes bone-idle. Trying to write fiction, intermittently. Also (still) trying to find the right chap. Easily distracted. Pragmatic leftie, convinced that inflexible ideological purity is not always helpful.

Could you please help me find some folklore?
The Brothers Grimm recorded the story "Der süße Brei" about a magic porridge pot.
When instructed, it produces food until told to stop. One day, the owner forgets the magic word and the village is engulfed in porridge.
If you are NOT German or English-speaking, does your culture have a similar cautionary tale?
If so, what foodstuff is it about?
Thanks gang, boosts appreciated.
Look, I'm not saying I needed Princess Diana teabags* but it just seemed so beautifully passive aggressive of TK Maxx to be selling them three days before the coronation that I couldn't resist
*Has anyone ever?
So BlueSky forces every post to be sent to a proprietary AI service thing, because of course they do.
I told you not to trust this tech bro platform. Why do people just refuse to accept that tech bro software always has a fucking snake in the grass?
Attached: 1 image how the extremely open bluesky protocol works, that everyone should freely copy and use: by running all posts through a proprietary third-party AI moderation service, https://thehive.ai/ lol https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/0b70f50eb44bf6a936115f0e24690a42585b69a6/packages/pds/src/labeler/hive.ts#L83 dig this, the nazis are just another kind of content and not people you fucking kick:
