One thing I could think of from Filipino culture is the manananggal (rough translation: one who removes). It's a sort of humanlike being, but with wings and a very long tongue. At night, its body from the waist up would fly away and leave its lower half behind, then it would hunt for food. It would go on top of pregnant womens' rooftops and using its long tongue it would feed on the fetus. Once the manananggal gets back to its lower half, the fetus would be gone forever.

In order to get the fetus back, you can prevent the manananggal from returning to its lower half by putting something on the lower half, if you find it (not sure if it was salt or garlic or something else).

One interesting thing that I'm not sure is quite related, but if you have a miscarriage, people say that 'nakunan ka' (rough translation: you were taken from / x was taken from you). Could be left over from the idea that the manananggal takes fetuses?

IMO if you think it's immoral, don't do it. You'd be totally in the right to not bribe them.

If you do wish to bribe.. then idk... but I feel like bribing could potentially cause some legal trouble.

not really. It's just weird to watch, especially with parents.

Me personally, I think God created all of our planets and all of our stars and whatever life lives in the universe, even outside of Earth. People who believe the same way would just stay the same and would praise God more for how great he is.

For the others though (iykyk)... well, they're gonna be like all the other flat-earthers or they call these aliens devil spawn or whatever.

I can easily tolerate my own farts if they're loud (they don't make a smell when they're like that), but the slow, silent ones... they smell horrible and I just have to keep a straight face and tolerate them.

Diarrhea farts though... I have no idea how my nose survived.

I meant I would auto-post using a program, so yeah it won't be done manually.

I just noticed that in general the Japanese make good quality products and they put a lot of passion into a lot of things they do. Car manufacturing included, I suppose.

My dad has a 14-year old Mitsubishi and it's had zero problems except when the brakes broke once (it was fixed easily though). It's in almost perfect condition.

I use this account for normal user things, but I want to auto-post social media content in a community I'm in (!taylorswift@geddit.social) which I own. (The content will probably just post 0-3 times a day).

Should my account be marked as a bot? Should I use a different account?

ah, I searched up wefwef in posts, not communities lol

in posts there's literally no content from the wefwef community

[-] writeblankspace@geddit.social 16 points 11 months ago

well... just making sure I guess? I searched up wefwef and this community came up

Did wefwef rebrand? (geddit.social)

I just went in wefwef, updated it, and suddenly it said, "voyager is up to date!"

This community is on Lemmy.

It's an alternative to r/taylorswift, where people post news about her, or rumours and social media posts, as well as fan theories, reviews and discussions about anything related to TS. People can also post their experiences on tour or in any event related to her, and share merch pictures and their own creative stuff in honor to Taylor.

Swifties are welcome, and so are non-swifties (but there is zero tolerance for hate; not liking something is fine, but no hate).

Why am I not getting beans :(

By "worst", I mean most toxic, most misinformed, most discriminatory, etc (not related to the owners of the site, e.g. Elon throwing out the trash by adding ratelimits).

Honestly, nobody even looks at other people's Karma. I didn't care much about it. Did people really care so much baout Karma that they mourn about it here, or miss it, or used to farm it?

Sorry if the tone sounds judgemental, but I'm just wondering.

Because apparently Lemmy was blowing up. I really support FOSS, but the only reason I don't migrate right away is the lack of activity. And then Reddit just became unbearable all of a sudden, then there's the surge of new Lemmy users. I'm finally happy to join.-
