And before anyone makes a cheeky "what do you need this for 🤨" comment, I'm a writer. I'm not going to murder anyone I promise, I just want to write a scene where one guy gets poisoned.

I need something that doesn't require modern technology to extract/produce, and would make sense to be avaible in a place with a temperate to mediterranean climate. The slower, the better. Does a plant or something like that exist or do I need to make one up?

Update: I looked into death cap mushrooms and they might be just what I'm looking for! Long reaction time, and being dried doesn't make them less toxic! (the scene takes place in midwinter so no fresh ones would be avaible) If anyone has more info on them, please do share.

I got 150€ as a birthday gift and thought that combined with the small amount of money I have, I might just have enough to get an old used laptop. The thing is, I'm not tech savvy and don't know what kind would be a good choice.

I'd want something old enough to have a DVD slot. Other requirements are having space and battery life, though I don't think I can have very high standards on my budget. I'd want something that lasts a long time, not some planned obsolence bs.

Are Thinkpads any good? I have been using one for school and think that a Thinkpad might be okay if it just didn't run Windows. I have been thinking about getting an older Thinkpad and downloading Linux on it, but from what I have heard, Linux seems to be complicated for someone who is not that good with tech. Any thoughts?

So, in front of our kitchen window, over 200 meters away, there's this place where they keep buses when they're not in use. A part of the building is a parking lot, for the bus drivers own cars.

And then there's this fucker. Every evening they get into their car and turn on those horrible headlights that hurt my eyes, from 200+ meters away, which is very fun when the kitchen is dark. They're so bright that if the curtains are open and it's entirely dark inside, they illuminate the entire room.

I made an illustration of this:

I keep hearing excuses like "but your highness the entire crop was destroyed and we're starving" or "but my lord I'm dying of the plague". Like ok? That sounds like a you problem. Someone has to do all the work around here and that someone's not going to be me.

Is it gas? What material is fire? Why does fire exist?

So I've been thinking about if there's a tool that lets you make a world where only certain biomes appear (for example, only sunflower plains, dark forest and river biomes would generate) and/or kind of 'paint' biomes. Not worldpaint kind of stuff, more like single biome worlds but it can be multiple biomes. It's hard to describe but I hope you get what I mean.

Is this a thing that exists?

behold my fridge

dumbass composer smh
