Reply to [homemade] chocolate soufflé by meetmeattiffany

What does a souffle actually taste like?? I've never had one, and my only experience with them (don't you fucking judge me) is the one from Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 when they're on the date and it pops. It looked so gooey and delightful.

Reply to comment by reformlife in TIL that in 2003, scientists "resurrected" an extinct species of Ibex, bringing back one living specimen, only for it go extinct again seven minutes later when the specimen died of a lung defect by mausoliam95

Damn, only 56? That's easy peasy baby numbers when you're talking about these kind of medical techniques, especially back then. It's only because of inefficient low success rates that we ever got to more efficient, high success rates in adjacent fields like IVF for humans.

I read the first book. Absolutely loved the world building, the characters, the plot, the voice. Everything was great, everything made sense! Last couple pages just dropped it off a cliff for me. Zero desire to read the rest of them. No trust that stubborn little SecUnit won't do it again. Shaking them I'm so happy for everyone who loves it, and I hope as many people as possible pick it up! But it doesn't make me happy, and that's what I need in the books I read now. I don't want to spoil it but if you finished it you know what I'm talking about lmao!!
