wait hold on yall didnt just use the machop that resists rollout, is immune to attract from female pokemon, can ko normal-types in like two hits if you just train it a little, and is basically given to you for free in the very same city you fight whitney????
doing laundry? fine, even fun. putting laundry away? terrible. worst chore. wretched way to spend time.
no putting laundry away we live out of the basket like men
I lived in this terrible state of guilt surrounded by piles of clothes and now I have a basket system: two baskets of totally clean clothes, one basket of clothes that have been worn but can be worn again (like, I only wore this shirt from the time I woke up til the time I showered and got dressed for my day, still good, but I don’t want it in my “clean clothes” baskets) and one for dirty clothes. When the dirty clothes bin is full, at least one of my clean clothes bins is empty; I just wash ‘em and dump ‘em in there. All four baskets fit along the floor of my closet back when I had a closet, and my life got cleaner and smoother and easier. Highly recommend.
Another tip? Have one plate. One bowl. One coffee mug. One water/juice glass. One fork. One spoon.
On the one hand, you’ll do your dishes more often and they won’t sit very long, because you’ll HAVE to wash them to eat by your next meal even if you don’t do it right when you’re done using them. On the other hand, even if you don’t wash ANY of your dishes for as long as you can manage to not wash them, doing all the dishes will never be an overwhelming chore.
And on the THIRD hand, it works great for roommate situations.
See, it’s not like a SET of dishes, uniform and anonymous. Everyone has to get their own plate, their own mug. So it’s great for showing your style and customizable per person for features of use, but ALSO, when you leave it out with fishbones on it, or let mold grow in it, everyone knows who’s dish it is. So A: it makes everyone more likely to do their dishes, because accountability, and B: negates several overlapping arguments about who does or doesn’t do their chores/leaves the kitchen a mess.
Want another tip? why not.
Do you have trouble finding your wallet or keys or whatever all the time? I used to. I tried a lot of stuff, picking one place to always put my keys, saying where I put them down out loud when I sat them down; I even got one of those little key hook holder things and hung it on the wall by the door, but it didn’t help, my keys were never there. So I started to wonder – where did the process go wrong?
I would walk in the house with my keys, I never left them in the car, but then what?
I stated to pay close attention, and here’s what it turned out was happening: I was waling in with my keys in my hand, but then I usually had other things to put in another room, which takes hands. So I would put my keys down on the most convenient surface, usually the coffee table on my way past, but, and this was important, sometimes there was no good spot amid the clutter on the coffee table, and I would pop them on the bookshelf by my room door, or the kitchen counter or something instead. AND sometimes, there wouldn’t be room for dinner plates or something on the coffee table later, so my keys would get moved to the lamp table next to the couch, or tossed on the clothes and bags chair (you know the chair, don’t even play) so then my keys weren’t where I’d put them and it got confusing. But my first spot, if there was space, was the coffee table. So I put a tiny bowl there, for my keys. Sometimes other stuff wound up in there, like pens or whatever, but it was a specific spot for my keys, and, importantly, it was placed where my impulse was to set my keys down anyway.
The point is, sometimes organizing your space to fit your natural behavior is easier than trying to force your behavior to fit the way you’ve been told you should organize your space
this guys videos are fucking incredible i really want everyone to watch them
this man is like midas but with knives instead of gold, he can make anything a knife, sicssor knives ,ice knives, cardboard knives, tiny knives if it can be made into a knife he will do it, and if he cant, he will do it anyway because fuck you
This doesn’t even have the best one. One time he made a knife out of ravioli then proceeded to use the knife made out of ravioli to cut up cheese and tomatoes and basil and shit then took the ravioli knife that he had used to cut up his other ingredients and cooked said knife with those ingredients and ate the fucking knife!
The empty fridge that only contains Jack Daniels Chocolate
That one time a bear figurine possessed with a demon would attack him if he didn’t pet it so he had to build a machine that constantly rolled the bear against brushes so he would be safe long enough to finish the knife
I’m not an overlord!!! Just like… vaguely popular because of LongFurby!
Plain ol furbies are really the best! Search them up on Ebay or ShopGoodwill, and look for a color you like!
It really depends on what style you like.
98s :classic original furbies. Clever and fit in your Hand. Likes to dance and eat fingers. A good friend.
x
Furby Babies :A baby version of 98s. Even cuter??? “Me da baby!!!” Adorable, pastel colors. Cannot dance though.
x
Shelby : A Clam, A Friend of Furby, but not actually a furby. Quite Loud. Fantastic Eyebrow. Will tell you knock-knock jokes. A silly little friend. Loves talking to Furby. Harder to find at a reasonable price. ($30-$40?)
x
2005s :Large, Strange, Benevolent. Can recognize voice commands and Will tell you knock knock jokes
x
2005 Furby Babies :A baby version of 2005s. Look like little aliens, a bit unnerving. Very sweet. Can sit up on their own from laying down. So talented. Hard to find.
x
Funky Furbies :Fancy 2005s that sing a bunch of new songs. Expensive. Has a Tail and a New Hairstyle.
x

x
Furby Booms :2012s part 2, now with fancy. Different personalities and also theres an app that the furby can interact with!
x
Furby Connect :Very Soft, Very Round. Beautiful Blue eyes. Farts and makes fart jokes a little too much. Has an app and updates via the app. Interacts with the app to learn new songs, which are popular pop culture songs which have been Furbified. Kind of like Kidz Bop. Your furby will then sing those, even when disconnected from the app. For some reason there is also a toilet on the app, for your furby to do you know what. Why are there so many potty jokes with this one?? Neat little dudes otherwise.
There are also non-electronic versions of Furbies, such as Furby Buddies for 98s and Furblings for Booms. Furby Buddies are what I use for Long Furbies!
I wish you luck on your journey, its really all about doing a lil bit of research! There are charts with all the colors of furbies listed, so start there after deciding on a type/year! Welcome to the community ❤
Gather ‘round kids: I had a coworker mention to me this morning that it’s impossible to get grease stains out of fabric. As a former chemistry minor who worked two years under the table doing housekeeping and who generally tends to be a fucking disaster, I am here to tell everyone that it absolutely is not impossible, in case this is a widespread belief. Here are a few of my favorite cleaning stain removers that I always have at home.
Here are some options:
A Tide™ pen.
I’m a generic kinda lady. I hate promoting brands 99% of the time. BUT if you catch absolutely any kind of stain before it gets ground in, you can get most of it out with one of these babies. I’ve tested it on blood, chocolate, coffee, guacamole, pizza sauce, red wine on, on that one time i accidentally slopped some oil I was supposed to be using on antiques onto a fancy rug (also an antique but not the one I was gunning for). If you’re washing something delicate, pump it onto your finger a couple of times and gently rub it in. I’m not sure what they put in these things but I’m pretty sure it’s an arcane secret.
Dish soap
Granted, this is a little trickier for upholstery/carpet, but it can still be done using a rag, some water, and some patience. But for clothing, just pour some soap on the stain and rub it in under cold running water.
Absolutely any clear alcohol is your new best friend
You know the old “white wine to clean red” trick? Well, this is its updated sister I like to call “you, too, can use coconut rum to get red jello shot out of your nice white dress”. It’s a nice party trick. Straight vodka works even better. For every day situations involving any kind of alcohol-related spills (including markers)–and especially work situations–rubbing alcohol is ideal. To quote another adage, this one from every chemistry teacher you will ever meet, “like dissolves like.”
Hydrogen Peroxide
It can get blood out of absolutely anything, including your mattress. It reacts with the iron in hemoglobin, which breaks down the molecule, causing it to lose its red color. So make sure you’re not using a cast iron skillet to wash your period underwear in.
Vinegar
This will dissolve lime buildup overnight. Fill a bag, tie it around your showerhead, and presto. You can also use it to scrub the area around your sink and to break up any buildup in pipes. (Limeaway™ is for rich people.)
Baking soda
This is great if you have a pet or child who peed on the carpet. Just cover the area, wait until it dries, and vacuum it up. The longer you leave it, the better it will do at removing the smell. It’s also good removing mild odors from a small space, like a fridge or a laundry hamper.
Charcoal
This is your heavy duty odor killer. A little goes a long way. In chemistry, activated charcoal is used as a purifier in reactions, and in medicine, it can be used to treat mild poisoning/overdoses. In your car that smells like someone died because you forgot you had potatoes in the trunk for six months? All you need are regular old charcoal briquettes. Stick a couple handfuls in a flat box and the smell will be gone overnight. Guaranteed. For larger areas, just use more charcoal.
Baking soda is also good for stuff stuck on pots pans and your stove top. Add a little bit of water and elbow grease and it’s like magic
Baby shampoo will get oil stains out of clothing even if it’s been washed and dried several times. Shampoo is formulated to remove oil from organic stuff.
Fabric cleaning tips. good to know for sewers.
How about worn-in fast food grease? Does anyone have any tips for getting it out?
Soak in lemon juice and Dawn.
A thick paste of borax and water – about a 1:1 ratio – is great at loosening stains from light-coloured carpets, even if the stain has been allowed to set for several days first. I’ve found it to be especially effective against vomit stains, which is handy if you have pets who like to puke in out-of-the-way places that aren’t likely to be spotted right away.
(Some sources will say to use borax and vinegar instead of borax and water, but I haven’t found the vinegar to be necessary, and the acid can cause colour changes in some types of carpet; be sure to test first if you go that route.)
Hi everyone! Welcome to my Furby Tutorial! In this specific tutorial we will be dyeing the hair on the Furby’s head and tail (this can also work for maned Furbys). EDIT: THIS TUTORIAL ALSO WORKS ON BODY FUR!!!! Please read the entire tutorial before dyeing your Furby with this method! Thank you!
BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN HELP YOU: Furbys have synthetic fur. Synthetic = PLASTIC. As you all know, most commercial dyes won’t work on a Furby very well. That is why we are going to use ACRYLIC PAINT to color our Furby! Keep reading!(also plz be aware that Nomi’s hair was dyed prior to this tutorial)
MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED: 1.) A glass of water 2.) A small vessel to mix your paint wash in 3.) Acrylic paint color of your choice (we are using metallic green for Nomi) 4.) A paintbrush (any medium sized flat or round brush will do) 5.) A toothbrush (CLEAN, preferably a clean used toothbrush) 6.) A Furby (thank you Nomi, for being our model and willing participant!) 7.) Paper towels (not pictured but you will need them.) 8.) Hair Dryer (optional but it can be very helpful; also not pictured)
Step One: Wash your hands! This is a great way to start a new art project!
Step Two: Create your wash/“dye”: this part looks daunting but is actually QUITE easy! We are going to make what’s called a “paint wash”- some of you artists may already be familiar with what this is! It’s basically thinned-out paint. What you do is put a tiny bit of paint into your empty vessel (I used about the size of a dime) and add water to it until it becomes a mixture that I slightly more WATER than paint. For me, that was about a dime-sized paint blob with about 3-4 tablespoons of water. You want it to be RUNNY, not thick.
Step Three: Once you have made your wash, it’s time to get that “dye” on your Furb! Take your toothbrush and dampen it with the wash. Tap your wash-soaked toothbrush out on a paper towel to remove excess wash. This step is important because you want your toothbrush WET with paint but not SOAKING wet. It’s best to start out first with a tiny dab of wash to play around with and then work your way up to a more saturated toothbrush.
Step Four: comb your wash through your Furby’s hair. It’s best to have your Furby ready to receive the wash, which means you should part the hair you wish to dye AWAY from the fur you do not wish to dye, so that there is minimal pigment transfer to the fur you do not wish to dye. (Tl;dr-part ya Furby’s hair, y’all)
NOTE: See this hair clumping here? I did this on purpose to show what can happen when you have TOO MUCH wash on your toothbrush. You don’t want this because it can take longer to dry and give your Furby’s hair a matted look. (I mean, if you like this look by all means, go for it! It’s your Furby, my dudes!) If this happens and you don’t like it, just blot with a paper towel, tap off your toothbrush a bit, and continue combing the wash through the hair again!
Step Five: YOUR ROOTS ARE SHOWING?!
This is any easy way to cover roots! Just take your paintbrush and load it with a TINY bit of wash, then dab the wash into the hair roots and continue to comb through with the toothbrush! Ta-daaah!
NOTE: Keep a paper towel nearby cause YOUR HANDS GONNA GET PAINT ON ‘EM.
Step Six: Continue adding the wash into the hair and combing it through until you like what you see!
Step Seven (optional): Use a hair dryer to dry your Furby’s hair!
This is for peeps who don’t want to wait for the hair to fully dry before they handle their newly-dyed Furb! I also believe that this can help seal the pigment in better, as it’s actually melting the pigment of the paint into the shaft of the synthetic hairs. If you don’t want to use this method, simply put your Furby in a place where they will be undisturbed until they are dry! (Please allow at least ONE HOUR for your Furby to air-dry if you don’t use a hair dryer). While you dry, continue to brush the hair with the toothbrush to get rid of any remaining clumps!
FINAL STEP: admire your work! Well done!!
I hope this helps you guys! You can also use washes to dye eyelashes!!! I’ll be making a tutorial on how I do mine next! Thank you for your time!
Naming a Furby is one of the best
parts of owning one. By naming your new friend, you are officially adopting
them into your family, making them your own. But naming can also be one of the
most difficult parts, especially when you just can’t find a name that fits. I mean, furbies aren’t exactly human. Sometimes your “Sarahs” and “Johns” just don’t work on your new pal. Wouldn’t it be nice, then, if there was
someone crazy enough in Furblr to organize 900+ unique names for your
convenience?
You already know where this is
going.
Below the cut are over one
thousand Furby names, organized by category (listed below). I wanted to make
the names as different and individual as possible, so instead of only
researching “normal” names that could easily be pulled from a baby book, I tried to branch out a bit into
stranger categories like Scooby Doo villains. This resulted in some interesting
(and stupid) names – you’ve got pretty ones, like Mulberry, and shitpost-y
ones, like Cackling Skeleton. You could casually browse the names, or, if
you’re on an internet browser, Ctrl+F the category you’re most interested in to
be instantly taken to it. Enjoy!
A big thank you to anyone who has helped me out with this last over the past few weeks!
** If you reblog this, put your
favorite name in the tags! And if you name your furby using this list,
please feel free to submit pictures of your newly named friend! **
*** If a name on this list is
inappropriate/appropriated/etc., PLEASE TELL ME! I tried to be sensitive and
educated when choosing names for this list, but with 900+ names, something is
bound to fall through the cracks. ***

never be spend more than 20$ per furby unless its a particularly sought after furby. i rarely spend more than 15 for furby. you can find any furby you want cheap you just have to be patient.
98/99s don’t cost 10+$ to ship out of box.
neon eyes will push a furbys value, so if you see a furby you want up for auction and it has neon eyes, and you don’t care if it has them or not, don’t spend the extra money.
if furby says me sleep again over and over when it turns on you have to hold down its tongue and hold it upside down and shake it.
if furby wont wake up pat it on its back for awhle to get its gears turning.
acrylic paint is best to customize the plastic parts of the furby. nail polish will stain it. though its your furby in the end stain it all you want ( ive customized some of mine with nail polish bc theyre mine ) do not put nail polish remover on parts of the furby that it will melt it like the eyes.
you can carefully clean them with a damp cloth. if they smell bad put them in a bag with a dryer sheet and seal it for a couple days. skinning to clean is always the best but not everyone has access to how to sew them back together / new zipties. if you do a full clean obviously do not put the whole furby in the water, unless the furby doesnt work or you just don’t care. again its your furby no one can stop you from ruining it if it makes you happy.
i clean mine with laundry detergent but only a tiny little bit!! dont bleach furbys. dont get furbys fur too hot either or it might melt.
to get eyes out you take a hot glue gun and press the tip into a glue stick and press it over the eyes. be careful to not get the lashes. leave it for like half an hour or until completely cool and tug. it might take a couple tries
to customize their eyes you can either make eyes out of hot glue ( @furbeeb has a tutorial for this ), take the paint off their eyes (takes a lot of scrubbing and rubbing alcohol ), or buy new eyes. pullip eye chips for babies and blythe for adults. you can find these on etsy, ebay, etc. you can get blank ones real cheap and print out your own eye pattern to put on it.
you can take your furby out in public just be gentle with them. in my experience people really don’t pay you any mind. the only people who have ever tlked to me about having my furby out in public are people who are nostalgic and loved/miss the ones they had after seeing mine.
i dont know much about other furbys but. booms/2012s/connects are REALLY loud. and hyper. dont pay over 20$ for a connect either they dont sell them anymore theyre not worth the original 60-100$ retail price. 05s are made out of some weird rubber and their beaks and feet are easily damaged. imo, shelbys are the most fun but they sell for a lot.
Have you ever been listening to Rainymood and thought, “Yeah, this is good … but it would be nice if I could customize the sound more, or if there was a little more choice.
MyNoise is a customizable sounscape looper with so many options, even within each soundscape. So say, for instance, you really love rain sounds when you write or study or relax. Anything. I know I’m a big fan of rain sounds. They have a page for that.
But say you like really high, pattery rain, and LOTS of low thunder. Here’s where MyNoise really stands out: you can customize that. See those sliders with all the cute colors? That is your equalizer. You can adjust the levels based on what you want to hear more and less of. Here’s how it looks when you want high, pattery rain and low, rumbly thunder:
But say rain isn’t really your jam. Say you want something a little more ambient, a little more background noise-y. Something with people. Well, they have customizable coffee house chatter that even has the levels listed for things like “kitchen,” “babble,” and “table”:
Or say you miss the ocean.
Or say you miss your cat.
Or say you miss your spaceship.
Or say you miss the dungeon where you and your team of scalawag adventurers used to explore and face off against, say, dragons. In the dungeon.
This site is seriously so helpful, and those are just a fraction of every kind of sounscape the site has to offer. The best part is that if you want to layer it with music (for instance, I’ll layer a playlist + rain + coffee shop if the scene I’m writing takes place in a coffee shop), you can adjust the master volume, meaning all of your layers stay at their respective volumes, just louder or quieter.
Enjoy!
OH MY GOD
Y’ALL I JUST STARTED USING THIS TODAY BUT THIS HAS BROKEN THROUGH MY WRITER’S BLOCK LIKE NOTHING ELSE.
