But where will my horses find water to drink and hay to eat when we go to town?!?

When I don't understand them, I'll sometimes check out explainxkcd.com .

I don't see why that's why issue. Men have been stalking, harassing and murdering their ex-girlfriends for much, much longer.

[Huffman said,] "We respect when you and your communities take action to highlight the things you need, including, at times, going private."

Really? 'Cause that's not the impression I've been getting. :scepticalThor:

I had no idea about the Gros Michel peels - that's fascinating!! Thank you for sharing that!

Wear a good-fitting N95 mask from before you enter your departure airport until after you leave your destination airport. Covid sucks, flu sucks, rsv sucks - just wear a mask, ffs. And get vaccinated.

"We hypothesize that the bananas of the 21st century were a different type, one that grew in a wider range of climates. We're not certain why this breed seem to have randomly fallen from the trees so often, but perhaps it helps explain all these other drawings of inattentive humans slipping on random banana peels as well. ... "

A few hundred years from now, historians are going to be equally confused by the horse-sized duck images ...

A couple things struck me here, and idk if they're relevant or not. If it was just an occasional "I'm bored", that's one thing. But with always being bored, you start getting into a paraphrased, "Why don't you entertain me?" And (unless this is a toddler and you're their parent or babysitter) that's not your responsibility.

The second thing is, you (and whoever else is entertaining them) aren't going to be around constantly, nor are you going to be around forever. They will always be bored unless they learn how to entertain themselves, to seek out something that they find interesting or worthwhile or somehow meaningful.

Moving into speculation here, but I would suspect they'd like more connections in their life, so I'd start encouraging them with that. If they're the type to connect with nature, maybe walks are a good idea, or even if you live in an area where nature is scarce, giving them plants may help. That could be something they nurture from a seed, or a food they can grow, or pretty flowers.

If they connect with animals, then volunteering at a shelter, or getting a job as a dog walker, etc, that may help ground them. If they connect with people, then volunteering is a good way to meet people. Volunteering doesn't have to be at a shelter or food pantry; in my town you can volunteer with the fire department, schools, local parks, etc. If they crave intellectual stimulation, then encourage them to learn by taking online classes, or to simulate their imagination by reading, preferably physical books.

Anyway, that's my .02, fwiw. Again, it's not your job to entertain them, and they're always going to be bored until they learn how to entertain themselves.

My mom, any food. I miss you, mom.

Yep!

It's real.
