Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Here’s the thing: I love the horror AESTHETIC, but I hate the horror MOOD. I find “fear” and “horror” to be unpleasant emotions, ones that I don’t want to experience in my enjoyment-media.

It makes finding stuff a bit challenging, let me tell you. So like, if you know anything that fits that bill, can you share it with me? (I’m already aware of @normal-horoscopes, and I’m familiar with Welcome To Night Vale.

I like stories with things that are weird, and unnatural, and dangerous in the same sense that a river or a fire is dangerous; it cares nothing for you and can destroy you, but it also has no malice and, once you know its nature, you can work with it more-or-less safely, so long as you never think yourself “safe”.

I like things that explore the realities and challenges of different forms of unlife, of being something changed and inhuman; but I don’t like things that delve too deep into “I’m having an existential crisis and all of my former friends now hate me”, that’s a completely DIFFERENT form of horror, one which I find deeply unappealing.

Because I've seen you discuss nutrition & basic life skills: do you know of any trustworthy websites/resources that teach food safety? I learned all my cooking info from my mom, but she doesn't believe food poisoning is real, so tldr I've realized that some things that I learned/do are unsafe.

If you're interested in getting a better handle on this stuff, you might want to consider taking a food handler certification course online. In many US states you have to pass a food handler certification course in order to work in restaurants, so there are good, comprehensive online courses and assessments available at a fairly low cost ($15). ServSafe is one of the major companies that offers these courses.

There are actually many kinds of food-borne illnesses that we call "food poisoning." It sounds like it's difficult to deal with someone who doesn't think it's real, but that's a more common attitude than you might think.
