You can easily do this today with fentanyl, a bagel and a microwave. Don't let your dreams be dreams!

microwaved bagels are garbage, all rubbery.

That's what the fentanyl's for.

You had me at laudanum.

My socks would be in there before I put them on for 100% of the cold days.

But then how would you walk over to get them?

I'd be warming sausages in there, too.

Good idea. It looks easy to clean

Finishing off my grilled Charlies in there

If not buzzed on laudanum, it would have been on coal fumes.

It's also remarkable that although cast iron radiators are becoming rare, the principle remains the same today and some still heat their homes with steam or hot water. That baby could be retrofitted on a modern system if someone really wanted to.

Is that account had always the one that uses that profile picture or is that a very random account with random Gordon Freeman render, I feel like I see that twitter profile pic every once in a while

It's one specific account that for some reason gets spam posted here on Lemmy. Others have noticed and asked about it but no answers have been found, AFAIK. He definitely isn't the actual source for most of the things that are posted, he just steals funny things others have posted.

I see Ryan Reynolds in glasses

I thought it was Snowden

[–] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Every single guy I see tweets from this guy, I wonder since when Snowden started shitposting...

Cats would also love the warm spot

No joke, that would make a perfect bread proofing box. WE'RE MOVING BACKWARDS!
