Can you share the details so i can find it too? First time hearing about this

Yeah, but it normalizes it and allows people to forget it's unhealthy

I'm aware that this is not the point of the comic but: get some powder and make your own chocky milk. You can make it as concentrated as you want

Mind your local laws regarding burning things out in the open. But i think it would be super cool if people started adopting this. I don't know how similar the tradition is to the colombian one, but in ecuador the doll is called the "old year". It's stuffed with old newspaper and sawdust, clothed in old, unusable pants and shirt and wears a papier-mâché mask of whatever you want. It's common to put a mask of a politician

Cool, i didn't know this tradition was also done outside of ecuador. Do you also burn it out on the street and jump over it?

Did no one notice the giant puddle of water between the tanks?

After a little research it seems that "octopi" and "octopuses" have been so widely used and for so long, that dictionaries include all of them as correct. An article from merriam webster even pragmatically suggests referring to them as "octopodes" is less likely to be understood so stick with "octopi" or "octopuses". Also, it seems "octopodes" is the more widely accepted "correct" plural and "octopoda" refers to the genus.

But it's an interesting topic, i wish to subscribe to octopus etymology facts(or any interesting reads)

I also wanted to print it out but the OP image is very low resolution. Turns out the source is a poster printshop. Unfortunately they sold out. https://sidewalkflowers.com/products/worked-by-now-poster

Mine is a youtube video where girl shares that she used to do extreme self deprecating humor like "oh, i dropped this thing, i should just kill myself" but tried flipping completely to "oh, i dropped this thing, guess it's the price of having such nice skin and grace." She noticed how it helped her improve her relation with her friends and weed out the bad ones. This video was profoundly influential to me but i didn't realize until later so i didn't save it at the time.

I feel like i've become highly attuned to the sound of a phone and can hear it anywhere in a room. The disadvantage is of course a lingering stress whenever i get confused with a similar sound or someone elses phone
