No, my budgie could always recognise me, even when I wore a hat or a mask or coloured my hair shocking pink. At the beginning he didn't like when I wore stripes though.

He was scared of anyone else (except one of my sisters, even though he rarely saw her) until he got to know them. I don't know if he was going by my voice or what.

The garden birds recognised me by my clothes though. I had hand tamed a bird with mealworms, and he'd ambush me every time I went into the garden. And my mum got ambushed once when she was dressed similarly to me.

Do you think he demands his couch thanks him every time he services it?

That reminded me of that flash game where you could press buttons on a Bush action figure to hear some bushisms (like "when we're talking about war, we're really talking about peace" and "there's an old saying in Texas, I know it's in Texas, probably Tennessee" and "peeance freeance"?) and there was one button to make him spit out a pretzel he was choking on. I tried to look it up but I can't find it :(

Someone on Lemmy once calculated that he could lose 99% of his net value, then lose 99% of what's left and he'd still be a multimillionaire. From the 320B, that would still leave him with 32M.

I literally just looked up the swastikar hashtag on Mastodon 🤭

That's just how our bus stops look here.

Is the hate more of an American thing because of the association with MLMs and their inflated claims?

Here in the UK, they're used for minor ailments, relaxation and general fragrancing. If you tried to advertise them as a cancer cure, you'd get into a lot of trouble. I don't like the smell of lavender, but I love how good it is for sore throats and minor burns (stops blistering and scarring if you put it on as soon as you've finished cooling it).

Speaking of burns, I only got the memo recently, so for those who also missed it, the advice is now to use tepid water to cool a burn rather than cold (apparently because colder water will make the blood vessels constrict so the heat doesn't leave as quickly).

Does that mean he's toast?
