I also like that pretty much any brand works as long as it's lanolin, I've tried a few different brands and they all work well for my lips even if they are commonly marketed as "nipple cream" and not as lip balm :)

I also love Mcdonalds chicken nuggets dipped in their plain ice cream! I generally enjoy salty+sweet combos

Fun little 10-min episodes
Love After World Domination - another sentai parody, in this one the "red power ranger" protagonist and the cute villainess are secretly dating so they have to pretend to fight in front of the other rangers and villains
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill - Isekai parody similar to Dungeon Meshi-- each episode has a recipe-- but more lighthearted. Protagonist is able to summon cooking ingredients from modern convenience stores.
The Vampire Dies In No Time - an extremely weak vampire, his cute armadillo, and a hotheaded vampire hunter become unlikely allies protecting the city from one absurd vampire monster after another

The love story of two men on an Antarctic expedition in the early 1900s
How Geocities began in 1994 as Beverly Hills Internet
The last thing you see before you die, if you are a crab getting eaten by a cuttlefish (visuals are included)
A free scifi short story involving cats in space-- I think I especially enjoyed this one because it reminded me of another scifi short story with cats in space by one of my favorite authors, A Game Of Rat And Dragon by Cordwainer Smith

Comment on All main Disney animated canon films are going to be destroyed and you can save five, which five do you pick? in ~movies

Mulan - My fave music, every single song is so good
Cinderella - I love that asshole cat too much
Sleeping Beauty - Maleficent is iconic
For my last pick it's a toss-up between Hercules (I love the music) and Emperor's New Groove (it's hilarious).
I'm ok with letting go of all the 3D films. There were some good ones but I really prefer 2D animation.

NMS has some gorgeous landscapes. I also didn't think I'd enjoy the spacecraft piloting part of it so much, but once I got a hang of the flight controls I really enjoyed flying through pretty skies and cosmos.

Summary: A research team has developed a groundbreaking technology that can treat colon cancer by converting cancer cells into a state resembling normal colon cells without killing them, thus avoiding side effects.
As someone who is neither a doctor nor a scientist, I'd love to learn from others who are more knowledgeable whether this is actually promising or not really.

Moby Dick had these insane paragraph-long sentences, I kept getting lost and going back to the start of the sentence.
It was all worth it for Chapter 94: A Squeeze Of The Hand, in which squeezing whale spermaceti puts the protagonist into a deliriously euphoric mood. It was hilarious :)) Excerpt below:
