"I can fix him" good for you. I need to craft a scenario in which he betters himself, to prove to myself that I can meaningfully atone despite how much of myself I see in him.

"I can make him worse" I can too but first I have to prove that there was hope for him somewhere, at some point, which he rejected. Because if there was never any hope for him, what hope is there for me?

I've been reading facts on Wikipedia again, and i'm overcome with the need to terrify non-Americans with the most underrated Terrifying American Thing: TORNADOES

Due to a quirk of mountain and ocean placement, the east-central United States has a higher number of tornadoes (particularly exceptionally strong tornadoes) than any other place on Earth.

And they're so fucking scary oh my God

Reasons tornadoes are So Fucking Scary:

  • they can form really suddenly and move really fast, so you have like a few minutes of warning when one happens
  • their behavior is arbitrary and unpredictable. They can obliterate your house and leave your neighbor's house untouched
  • the most powerful tornadoes are so strong that it's nearly impossible to even measure them because measuring equipment is straight up obliterated in those conditions, but they've been known to exceed 480 km/h wind speeds.
  • please just read this wiki article it's the scariest fucking thing ever
  • like with F5 tornadoes you'll see a lot of stuff about trucks, SUVs, furniture, appliances from homes like refrigerators etc being "lost/missing" and you may think to yourself "how does something that large just get 'lost' surely there's a better description of what happened"
  • and well. the above article does provide the 'better' description. And it's "granulated."
  • As in, "debris from many of the obliterated homes was finely granulated."

As a born and bred Alabamian, reading this is very funny when you're so desensitized to them that when you're woken up at 3 am by the sirens theres a very good chance you'll be like "if its my time its my time" and go right tf back to sleep

I mean I've been there but I contain multitudes okay

Tornados can put a 4x4 through concrete but also that siren going off right when my muffins come out of the oven is annoyingly inconvenient…

"What is jam? What makes something authentically jam? Can bacon really be made into jam?

It was all very Existentialist.

The answer to those questions is a bit complicated and non-definitive. The U.S. FDA has defined jam and jelly in very specific and mathematical terms (such-and-such percentage of juice to fruit to water to sugar = jam/jelly); it also uses jam and preserve interchangeably, for the most part. While interesting, the FDA’s definitions did not matter much to me because the FDA wasn’t really using the terms in the way that we usually use the terms. Also, the FDA wasn’t comprehensive in its definitions. It didn’t tackle other fruit spreads like marmalades or curds, for instance.

The more I looked into, the more I thought, dude, this information would make a good infographic."

Once upon a time, fruits could not be obtained at just any season, so humans had to come up with a way to contain the fruits for the dark fruitless days.
