@fesshole imagine how excited barn owls were when humans invented barns!

@GayDeceiver sounds like a front for Marshall, Carter & Dark... https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/marshall-carter-and-dark-hub

@Thayer ahhh that sucks and I am now vicariously feeling that "suffering at the hands of stupid bureaucracy with no simple recourse despite their mistake having real consequences for you" feeling, which I last felt a week ago when the government made schools ban mobile devices (despite my child having dyslexia+ADHD coping mechanisms that rely on her phone) 🤬

@afewbugs @suearcher my favourite repeat offender is having unsealed chipboard or MDF edges butted against a tiled floor, which is tiled because you expect (a) people to spill liquids on it and (b) it to he mopped regularly... Those edges soak up gross liquids and the wood expands and rots... In my home I've run a fat bead of silicone caulk around the edges of the kitchen and bathroom floors! Also turns the acute 90° grime trap into two 45°s so easier to clean!

@suearcher @afewbugs @PeterMLittle hah yes. I work in IT and just a few days ago was reflecting with somebody on how often user workflows are ignored (in the context of systems where you log in to see some protected data having poor support for showing others that data; I was congratulating them on having a good mechanism for making a share link!)

@afewbugs relatedly, I'm pretty sure the people who design kitchen and bathroom fittings and furnishings have never cleaned a bathroom or kitchen, and don't do much cooking either
