    I hadn’t heard of it till a friend made me watch it with her, and then I realized that I’ve been seeing vague references to it every now and again (like this post) every so often for years and just ignored / forgot about them until I had the context to understand them.

    So I think it’s just one of those cult things that never really goes away but just always has fans lurking in the background of discussion lol

    tbf the confusion is not so much that the author would be allowed to but that they’d want to. people would naturally assume that like with many things people put time into creating, such as novels and video games and whatever else, that the fee required to access it is desired by the author and in some way benefits them.


  • I’ve walked through so many spider webs over the past few weeks. I do find them very rude. And it’s just like, man, if you put your web where I’m going to walk through it then it sucks for you too, then you gotta go rebuild it.

    I still don’t kill them, though. Just relocate them to somewhere sufficiently far away that hopefully they don’t build their next web in the same place.

    Except for one spider that I maybe killed. I walked into its web and it stood on my arm and bit me so I flicked it away. No idea where it went or whether it survived. But honestly, what a jerk.




  • I just looked up the elephant vs mouse segment. The way the elephants reacted, I kinda feel like they’re being cautious because they recognize a harmless lil animal and don’t want to step on it. Like they behave pretty much exactly how I do when I see a little spider or frog or cricket or something. like “whoa there buddy, you dont wanna be under my feet”


  • If you write something, you own the copyright, period. There’s no registration process or anything like that. If you made it, it’s yours, legally. And the only process involved to exercise the rights would just be proving that you’re actually the one who made it.

    Of course, none of that makes it certain that no one will claim it as their own or use it for something you don’t want. As a general rule, just assume that anything you don’t want used in a way you don’t like simply shouldn’t be put out into the public at all, regardless of what kind of license you package with it. If you’re an average person and not a billionaire good luck exercising any kind of legal rights for intangible stuff like written words.

    It is generally a good idea to include with anything you put out there some kind of license, which could be as simple as a .txt file that says “Made by [name], free to use for xyz purposes with abc caveats”

    For a book stuff like that can go into the first or last couple pages that usually include all sorts of random boring information and publisher credits and whatnot
