USER: #2471A3 - Inquiry Regarding Foodstuffs and Other Edibles

[unfatalist]

[ USER: #2471A3 ]

It appears that as a group we've all generally agreed to utilize this forum as a means of sharing relevant information with each other and pooling collectively our experiences as we grow acclimated to our new circumstances, so in a similar vein — a few questions, if you will.

1) Has anything verifiably edible (and safe for consumption) been found in the wilds surrounding this town?

2) Has anyone yet identified a foodstuff that isn't altogether flavorless?

"Lalondian"?

1) So I've heard. I believe full digestion can take anywhere from twenty-four to seventy-two hours, so if we all survive another day or two, that should be confirmation enough.

2) More's the pity.

perfumey shakespearian way of talking
makes you think of wizard porn and tentacles
also knitting
vague smacks of the possibility of passive aggressive chessmaster warfare
you know

1) i would offer to go check but ugh
2) well the water is decent if gross
you can survive longer without food than water
mantra to live by here

[unfatalist]

It appears to make one of us think of all of those things, at least, though I can't say as I really understand why.

1) You're offering to potentially die in the name of science?
2) Can you elaborate on "gross", as a descriptor? Another few adjectives would be helpful.

[parodeity]

you remind me of someone

1) no i could time travel ahead but then i would have to time travel ahead
2) ashy

[unfatalist]

...I see. And is it a favorable comparison?

1) ...Time travel?
2) That fits with what everyone else seems to be saying, I think.

[parodeity]

yes i adore my sister and her absurd insistence that all my dreams mean repressed homosexuality and dicks because freud
i wont complain if you never remind me of her in that specific way though

1) yeah i do that i mean im trying to give it up but it still is a thing i am capable of doing
2) at least were not trolling one another that badly yet ig

[unfatalist]

Oh, drat. However will I find a topic of conversation that doesn't involve discussions of repressed homosexuality or dicks. You've effectively crippled my entire ability to converse, in one fell swoop.

1) Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. You're suggesting that you're capable of literally traveling backwards and forwards in time?
2) "Trolling"?

[parodeity]

theres a whole world of psychiatrists with mother issues out there to draw on probably
i feel like this may just be a psychiatrist thing
or at least a freud thing for sure

1) yeah thats what i can do thats me
dave strider knight of time
in charge of like
time
basically like it says in the title
2) you know giving one another a hard time by being disingenuous little shits

[unfatalist]

1) What does that mean, in a practical sense? You're capable of seeing the future? Changing the past?

2) ...I was under the impression that was called "friendship", actually.

[parodeity]

1) depends
i mean i could see the future yeah
but then i wouldnt be able to change it since thats The Future
unless we wanted to flip to an alt timeline in which case wed all effectively be dead and not the actual timeline so like who wants to bother with that
time travel is stupid have i mentioned that today
and you cant change the past the past is the past
you can go back and be part of what made it the past but its like
already been said and done you know

2) the two things are not mutually exclusive by a long shot

[unfatalist]

1) ...You're suggesting that perceiving the future also sets the perceived future in stone? Renders it unchangeable. Categorically?

2) Marvelous. I look forward to the point in our acquaintance when we can begin "trolling" each other, then.

[parodeity]

1) itd be cool if this is a universe where that is not the case but there is always one alpha timeline and that is the only timeline i can go back and forth in
i mean the timeline i am on
if this timeline got derailed itd be like haha fuck you but like
yeah?
i know a guy who can maybe zap around and change shit but that gives me a fucking headache
not even from the implications that he can just fix time to suit his whimsy thereby changing everyone and everything in it
just because i can FEEL that its not how shit was supposed to go
and its like five internal sneezes all at once but i cant actually sneeze
because someone took away my ability to sneeze or something
and then i kind of want to just lie down because my delicate anime constitution cant handle that bullshit
but then all i do is go ok bro sure that isnt "time travel" if you say so
and let him do whatever
god i hate time travel
but yeah maybe its just a characteristic of my personal universe
where everything is predestined and usually STUPIDLY so in a way that involves certain people sitting in pots of soup because they definitely did that and then they had to do it because they had already always already done that

i hate time travel ps

2) bitch please i start with the trolling basically from the start
i just know when to pick and choose my moments
lying about the taste of limited food supplies doesnt strike me as the moment to really get my game on

[unfatalist]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make an educated guess, please do correct me if I've got this wrong —

For some reason I can't quite place, I'm rather getting the impression that you hate time travel.

[parodeity]

everyone should and im quitting cold turkey

i mean i say that but obviously id fucking do it if i had to
or if like
i saw myself do it
which falls under "i had to"
despite myself or probably because of myself i cannot shake the overdone reluctant hero trope
which is perhaps a little facetious and maybe since i cant shake it but can name it that isnt what it actually is?
these are the real philosophical questions
am i a meme of myself or not

[unfatalist]

But if we presume that future you feels the same way about it as present you, then the likelihood of seeing yourself do it should be effectively nil, correct? Or do I have that wrong?

1/2

[parodeity]

yeah you forgot to account for my selfloathing and the fact that im the time guy despite wanting to be the guy guy

2/3 actually

[parodeity]

like a dude who sits around in his boxers watching cartoons and eating pizza instead of the dude who loops shit out and throws dead daves at problems i mean
not a guy guy like
a guy who is all about guys
not that guys are a bad thing but like i meant you know dave of guy
not dave of guys

ok done

[parodeity]

yeah wow ok i cant save myself from myself lets just pretend that didnt happen
backtrack it up a little
go
why yes sir or madam i definitely do not like time travel and then i said NOTHING ELSE

[unfatalist]

...I'm starting to see why your conversations with your sister so often turned to the topic of repressed homosexuality.

And dicks.

[parodeity]

you are failing the part where that didnt happen and this is cruel and unusual punishment
obviously the internet should be about posting things and then no one ever bringing up those things ever again
despite the fact i dont think theres a way to delete posts here
fuck

anyway
in non dick news
do you actually know how to cook fish and stuff
do you know how to catch fish
some guy said hed teach me how to hunt
up to now my hunting has been
well like ive attacked imps and killed them but you dont eat those
presumably
maybe the trolls did who the fuck knows they have weird tastes cotton candy aside
but until then i lived in the wilds of houston which you know meant slinking down to the corner store and sliding a five over the counter and getting back my prey
which in this case was poptarts
cherry flavor natch

[unfatalist]

I would not recommend consuming an imp under any circumstances — and when precisely were you fighting imps, to begin with?

And I admit my skillset runs only to preparing fish, not catching it. But fortunately I have an acquaintance who is a deft hand at it, and who I'm sure wouldn't mind taking a student or two.

[parodeity]

eh back home
you know how it is
thirteen and wailing on the designated monsters of an area when youre warped there after starting to play a stupid game
its been a while since i fought any specific imps
though i have more recently fought semiomnipotent anthrophomorphic dogs

i should probably learn something
so i can contribute to the tribe
not get voted off the island and whatnot

[unfatalist]

...Semiomnipotent dogs?

Not a white dog and a black dog, by any chance?

[parodeity]

yeah theyre assholes

[unfatalist]

Hm.

I'll teach you how to cook, if you're interested in learning.
