Is that when you try to eliminate everyone named Gwen via mass murder, nominal cleansing, and lexical apartheid?

Technically, Nicko McBrain uses ONE drum set the SIZE of five or more separate sets! Anything else would just be silly! ๐Ÿ˜

some shrikes are also known as butcherbirds because of the habit, particularly of males, of impaling prey onto plant spines within their territories. These larders have multiple functions, attracting females and serving as food stores.

The god in Hyperion is named after that bird. Great scifi classic.

Endymion / Rise of Endymion was a great sequel too

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

Highly underrated.
And I get why: it's just totally and completely different but it was still enjoyable on merit.

One of the serial killers in Hannibal as well.

Among the best sci-fi I ever read, incredible.

Also the name of the guy who ran the gang that Han Solo was in as a kid.

Netflix and dismembering the prey I fucking impaled earlier?

Thanks to its strong beak, it can tear even the strongest 3-ply toilet paper to shreds if it has been moistened beforehand.

Hide your paper!

Unspeakable horrors.

[-] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

I love how you just casually used SCP wiki as a reference.

[-] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I was curious if people would notice, and it seems not everyone did. ;) Maybe someone got to be the daily 5,000 for SCP.
