You're free to look at my door from the outside.

This is the correct answer πŸ˜‚

I really can't give consent in someone else's stead.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

oh a riddle! then is your door someone elses stead. hmmmm. your door has termites?!

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I... am concerned at your perception of consent as... a riddle...?

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The riddle is how something can give consent that isn't sentient.

Almost everyone in this thread is a terrible host, Jesus Christ.

Sorry, OP.

I'll be naked when you get here. I think I have a strip of bacon left and can make some more French Toast.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cooking bacon in the nude is indeed entertaining.

You can hang out in the back yard and hand-feed our 100+ pound giant sulcata tortoise. She'll come "running" if she sees you have treats (e.g. lettuce).

You can keep the puppy busy outside so she doesn't have to worry about "forgetting" and doing that inside (puppies are trouble).

You can fish off the dock or swim in the pool. At night, I can setup the projection screen and we can watch some old movie out back and roast marshmallows at the fire pit.

Or you can just hang out with me in my garage/office and lose endless amounts of time watching the 3D printer print something (as is tradition with 3D printing!).

Also have a rather large robot to play with and an awesome HTPC setup and wifi 7 with 2 gig Internet. Actually, forget all that other stuff; 2 gig Internet is living the dream! 🀣

I send you up to the roof. You help the roofers there. Nothing beats some honest work with your hands.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

wow, im gonna tell this story for the next month. who knew THATS how shingles are attached.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago

There's hot shingles in your area! They're just waiting for you to attach.

Do it on the roof! Doctors hate it!

I have a cat that refuses to shut up. Ask him anything, he will scream at you. He will only stop if you ask him about Israel. Sometimes.

You have a choice. We can watch Ninja Turtles, read Ninja Turtles, or play Ninja Turtles.

Gotchu Bro/Sister:

Wife's already got Fellowship of the Ring Extended (of COURSE) ultraHD in the player.

I'll pop us some popcorn, and gladly point out all the fun trivia, like how when Aragorn kicks the helmet in Two Towers it was so legit because the actor ACTUALLY BROKE HIS TOE.

Why did I mention Two Towers when Fellowship is in the player? Heh. . .you didn't think we were stopping after Fellowship, did you?

The doors are already locked and planned bathroom / snack retrieval breaks are posted on the wall.

You’re gonna help me clean this place up for a bit, then we can chill afterwards. I don’t know what interests you, but I’m never bored at home so I think we’ll find something to do.

You can have a cup of tea, I'll put on a Beethoven record, and then you can untangle and sort all the stuff in my big box full of old cables, chargers, components, and adapters. If you find a micro usb cable you can have a cookie.

I have an induction forge and an induction smelting crucible. That's literally endless entertainment, until my arms get tired.

I can cook you something fun while you steal the love of my animals and use my UV light to make my phosphorescent and flourescent minerals look fancy.
