I used to have 2 sugar gliders. Very high maintenance pets. They are very social and will get depressed without enough attention. They are also group animals and when you get them you adapt them to your scent as the “home tree”. This means you being gone for let’s say a vacation or something will stress them out to the extreme.
Since they are basically wild animals they have a very strict diet you also need to maintain, on top of them being picky eaters, can’t really give them the same food more than 2 days in a row or they won’t eat it. They often take a bite or two of food before throwing it and going for a new piece.
All that being said they can be very fun and loving animals. They live a long time and are quite smart. Their little hands look like people’s thumbs and all and they LOVE untying knots and anything plastic that crinkles. Had them through college and had a tapestry on every wall so it was fun letting them run around the apartment free and climbing where ever. Always a good laugh when someone was over and didn’t know they were out. They would lead across the room to get back to me or the cage and seeing someone freak out as they saw something dive bombing them out of their peripheral never got old. My favorite thing about them was this demonic noise called crabbing that they make when they are scared or upset.

RampageDon@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I've felt intense love and heartbreak before and I don't think I could ever handle it again. Am I wrong for thinking that it doesn't get any better?3·2 years agoNot sure where you got that people were threatened by your comment. If it has to do with your score, it’s because it’s a very narrow view, context had nothing to do with it. You shared your opinion I shared mine. Saying people feel threatened or that we didn’t understand the context because we didnt agree is exactly the point I’m making when it feels like you are a young person trying to pass for an older one.

Am I wrong for thinking that it doesn't get any better?152·2 years agoWith an opinion like that you sound like a teen trying to pass for someone old and wise. Love takes many forms and does not exclusively apply to romantic relationships, or people.
I tried to keep some things vague so people could have fun with rules like hat immortality. I wonder if boredom is too strict. I guess we’ll see.
RampageDon@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most valuable digital data you own?15·2 years agoMy orginal pokemon blue save file and the 151 (152 if you count missing no) from my childhood. They are all just chilling and hoping that maybe one day I’ll come back and play with them like the good old days when we were masters.
RampageDon@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anyone else feel that Lemmy just *isn't* addictive?4·2 years agoDoom scrolling wasn’t there in the early days of reddit. Lemmy is still new. I think people just had high hopes and expectations that lemmy would be a 1 to 1 replacement for reddit, but that was never going to happen. Reddit has had years to grow and optimize while lemmy is just a fledgling with a niche user base.
Also I think lemmy is missing that hook or gimmick to get, for lack of better words, the attention seekers here that will make posts and content just for upvotes or to show up on everyone’s front page. Not saying lemmy needs to be reddit, but I do think it needs a little extra something than just being a decentralized reddit alternative.

RampageDon@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would happen if caffeine was made illegal?25·2 years agoHaha thanks. Wrote it drinking my morning cup of coffee.
RampageDon@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would happen if caffeine was made illegal?2444·2 years agoPharma companies would already have a caffeine equivalent that would be only slightly different in structure so it would circumvent the law. It would then be sold at exorbitant prices and people would still pay even with the side effect of sometimes you eat someone’s face. Of course they would then sell you something else to stop the side effects. You would also have the caffeine purists who would start their own speak easies and organized crime. People “abiding by the law” would start calling the purist, plants, since that is where caffeine is coming from, while the synthetic caffeine users would be called zombies for the obvious face eating reasons. This whole thing would cause even greater divides between already split countries leading to all out war. WWIII plants vs zombies.
