This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad's fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

On mine it's only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

Edit: Here's the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

Egyptians didn't have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

Too be able to sleep every night, on a pillow of money built on labours of people working in near-slavery conditions, you have to be a psychopath.

Also, they removed psychopathy from the DSM?

You know what's funny, the two clients that don't support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

He invented many words! Thagomizer being the most iconic. RIP Thag.

Look up "Stanford marshmallow experiment".

Hahahah. I don't know how my sleep-deprived brain got to "I am Bob".

Yeah, audio isn't my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it's the only viable means of book consumption for me. It's unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson's Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

Huh, interesting. I am Bob is literally next on my audiobook playlist.

I still remember my grandmother telling me she was socially shunned for preferring jeans to skirts. I'm sure she's rolling in her grave right now.

Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven't already had an overly long queue of things to read..

It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you're still keen, do give them a ring.
