Now it’s over, I’m dead and I haven’t done anything that I want. Or I’m still alive and there’s nothing I wanna do.

I can’t think about how old that song is, it hurts me.

This sounds a lot like the book Kiln People (David Brin). The dittos are born knowing they have specific expiration dates and the original human can decide whether to add the ditto’s memories to their own.

It’s not, it’s a Meijer (Midwest chain).

Rama definitely had octospider robot creatures that communicated with patterns of light on their skin, kind of like cephalopods iirc, but the 90’s were a while ago and I can’t remember many details. Wasn’t Dr. Blue a spiderbot with a ‘speech impediment’ where he could only display blue, or something like that?

Hey thanks OP! I was just scrolling by but you’ve helped me ID a mystery cactus I’ve had for a while now as Tephrocactus articulatus var. diadematus.

Homework and learning is for the neurotypical

Homework — sure, not gonna argue with that.

Learning? I object. I know I’m not alone in the neurodiverseiverse when I say that learning is my one unwavering hobby / passion. Every time I become fixated on a new subject the goal is always to learn everything about it. I might go as far as to say that learning is the main thing that makes life seem slightly meaningful, myself. Being ND, I just can’t manage to ever maintain focus long enough to become an expert or a specialist on any one thing but I have gained a general knowledge of a ton of random things instead.

I know a little about a lot of things, not a lot about one or a few things.

You can just say ‘five zero’ and it’ll be interpreted as 50, I just tried it.

I’m conflicted

Thin body segment makes me think some sort of wasp, like a potter wasp, mason wasp, sand wasp, or mud dauber, though it’s impossible to tell due to the quality of the picture (not enough detail) and because we have no idea where in the world you live. :)

At least knowing which continent would help a bit. Def not a termite tho.

At first I thought ‘ew’, but then I remembered root beer floats are delicious, but it still seems weird for reasons I can’t explain. Like…I love the milk left in the bowl after eating crunch berries, but I wouldn’t want to buy cereal-flavored milk.
