Saw a turtle crossing a road with fast-moving cars today.

Couldn’t stop the car to help it unfortunately, hope that it safely crossed the road without being crushed by cars.

@rakyat Sometimes Malayan Box turtles also wander onto roads. Usually near swampy areas.

@irfan Munchkin cats, dwarf cats, there are a few breeds of cats that are cute but do all sorts horrible things to the insides of the cats. They exist but most reponsible breeders dont do it for ethical reasons.

This microscope lens for my camera is one of the coolest things I've ever made.

Anytime I find a tiny bug in my place I get my mind blown.

Case in point: Can someone help me identify what it is that I found? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Found in Raleigh, NC.

I tried Dragonfruit Nasi Lemak. All it had going for it was the unusual red coloring of the rice. It wasn't very good nasi lemak. 2/5.

@thepoliticalcat @Lana It's a shame that the brainworm passed away. Among all the presidential candidates it was obviously the best one.

“iPhone 受” doesn’t sound quite right in Chinese tbh, but also, the existence of iPhone 受 (bottom/M) strongly implies the existence of iPhone 攻 (top/S).

This only happens right after I'd be back from said country to even benefit from it.

After I went back from my work trip to Singapore ~last year, QR payment between Malaysia-SG suddenly became compatible. Afterwards I went back from Bali for vacation, QR payment between Malaysia-Indonesia became compatible.

This time I'm set to head to Osaka by the end of this year, Japan's QR payment is set to be compatible with Malaysia's QR payment and other countries the following year in 2025.

The force in this (cashless) chosen one is strong.

Hello any TTRPG or Art friends in KL, Malaysia.

I will be boothing at KL illustration Fair 2024 this year. Amongst some other art stuff, I will be selling print versions of "Stirring the Hornet's Nest at Het Thamsya" as well as a preview/early access of my upcoming new adventure module.

Do come if this interests you. :)

This deep fried Tofu begedil slathered in extremely spicy sambal was good. Maybe too spicy, but my tastebuds no longer register spiciness very well.

@rakyat@hachyderm.io avatar

So on iOS 17.5 beta 3, #Apple has changed the name for the Pride wallpaper collection to just “Rainbow” and the description to “Inspired by the colors of the rainbow flag” when you change the language to Mainland Simplified Chinese AND Malay.

Strangely, the original name and description is unchanged in Arabic and Russian.

The name & description remains the same if your phone language setting is in English in Malaysia.

I am gonna buy ingredients for hamburg steak this week damnit because thanks to that video my dear friends from Malaysia sent me, I've been craving

Dear U.S.A, Japanese food is more than ramen, sushi, udon, soba, various rice sets, curry rice, etc.

@geraineon I remember once having a really good Hamburg steak from a Hainanese Chicken Chop place in Kuala Selangor. The old man that cooked it is probably retired by now.

I have no idea what this tiny brown insect is. It is no more than 1mm long. It appears to be carrying around some rubbish it collected.

I found it crawling on a container of figs packed in Childers, Qld. It didn’t pose for the photos!

Front view of very small, brown insect with translucent legs, on crimped plastic edge of a clear plastic container.
Side view of very small, brown insect with translucent legs and abdomen, on the edge of a clear plastic container. It appears to be carrying a brown crumb and some white fluffy substance.
Inverted front view of a very small, brown insect with pincers raised, on a rough brown background. It appears to be carrying a brown crumb and some other white material.

Are these practical? Or are they just nerdy flex?

I don't care. I find them delightful!

The pill-box keychain filled with pill-sized dice is going to be on my person all the time. And for "formal occasions" (like gaming conventions) the pendant filled with them will be around my neck and ready for action.

Oh. That's its use. It contains a full set of gunmetal RPG dice: d4, d6, d8, d10s (one 00-99, the other 0-9), d12, and d20. These are minuscule, as the tape measure in the photo shows, with average spans of 7-8mm.
A faux-bronze fancy sculpted d20-shaped pendant on a long brass chain. What use is this?

Today on Malaysian sinophone Threads - ppl from other states dissing on KL food, then ppl from JB insisting that KL food is actually fabulous if compared to JB food (which caters to Singaporean tourists with undistinguished palates)

@rakyat @raytheonrainbowmissile KL has good food, but the good food is in places that offuce workers rarely go.
