Day 8: Ground Mayonnaise. Missed a day due to real life things, but lets keep going with #botober2025. Put that mayonnaise on the ground

A snail with a purple shell and lilac body is standing with two legs(coming out of the shell) and holding a mayonnaise jar with two hands. The mayonnaise jar is being held upside down, with "mayo" (also upside down) written on a yellow label on the jar. A pile of mayonnaise is on the ground beneath the jar

Day 7: Behold onion. My dear friend @novusangellite.bsky.social has to deal with me shoving random things in his face to behold more often than he'd probably like #botober2025

A snail with a lilac body and purple shell has arms and is holding an onion, with the words "BEHOLD ONION" written above them. To their left, in the direction the onion is being shown, a man with purple skin, pointy ears and star-shaped pupils in his eyes is looking at them with a frown. He asks "... Are you ok?". The snail responds "...there is so much cursed nonsense in my kitchen. Please just look at the onion"

So Sozerfrapple seemed a little difficult to understand, but I think I got it figured out
Unfortunately I don't know how to get it out of my kitchen now

The word "sozerfrapple" is written, with lines to indicate the breakdown of different parts of the word. "soz" is labeled as "Sorry", "erf" as "Error Function" and "rapple" as "Rare Apple?"

A golden apple, which has a small stick and leaf sticking out on it, has a speech bubble that says "SORRY". On the right side of the apple, the skin is glitching out, with different coloured rectagles and parts of the apple floating away. The words "CANCEL" "ERROR" and "TURN BACK", written in red, float around this part. A little bit away to the right, there is a purple shelled snail with a lilac body. Their body is mostly retracted into their shell and they are looking at the apple with fear

Yeah we just be heating the baking rings I guess #botober2025

There are 3 baking rings of various sizes placed upon a heated hob, with orange wiggly lines to represent them heating up. To the right of the hob, there is a bowl with water filled with dark blue jagged lines, a orange juice box and a pine tree shaped mould filled with a dark green powder

Yeah sure #botober2025 I'll crush water why the hell not?

A snail with a lilac body and purple shell has arms and is holding a pestle, which is being used in a bowl of water. There are darker, zig zag lines within the water beneath the base of the pestle, as if to suggest the attempt to crush it is working. The snail also has very long legs with lines for feet that are on the same level as the base of the bowl, the legs lifting the snail above the bowl so they can hold the pestle. The image is drawn in MS Paint

They just keep appearing in my kitchen!

Day 3 #botober2025: Crock Up
Since crock can mean both nonsense(the prompts) and a pot, we have to put the prompts in a pot, put it high UP and then never see them again. Unfortunately, the prompts are too powerful to be contained

A snail with a lilac body and purple shell has arms and is using them to put a list of botober prompts into a brown pot. The art is done in MS paint

A snail with a lilac body,purple shell and very long arms is placing a brown pot with lid onto a very high shelf. The art is done in MS paint

A snail with a lilac body and purple shell looks disappointed as the botober prompts reappear in front of them, with a puff of smoke and the word "poof" written above the prompts. The art is done in MS paint

Forgot to post here, I'm doing #botober2025. First 2 prompts, "Noodle juice" and "Pinetanbous Mold" (2 pictures)

An orange juice box with a straw in and the following on the box: "Noodle Juice" a picture of noodles in a bowl, and "100%". The box is surrounded with different coloured lines for emphasis and text that says "From 100% free range organic noodles" "freshly squeezed" "wow" "never get your juice stolen again (no one wants it) "woah" and "tastes like a mistake". The drawing is made in MS Paint

Two jelly moulds, one shaped like a pine tree and one like a pineapple. They have curved lines around them to indicate wobbling. The drawing is made in MS Paint

A tree is shown with green mold/moss growing upon it. A snail with a purple shell and lilac body is holding a bown and harvesting the mold into it. The snail has stick figure style arms and very long legs. There are two question marks above the snails head. The drawing is made in MS Paint

Digital ID will only control people already following the law. It will leave various groups isolated and struggling. It will cost us and the goverment. And it absolutely can be abused. But hey. What do I know?

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

No. They'll half-think about an idea, decide it's great and then leave everyone to flounder and be vunerable with failing systems. It won't fix any "problems", if someone isn't checking if a person is allowed to work already, they aren't gonna check if they have ID. And it'll inevitably be hacked

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

That library is closed now anyway. Infrastructure and resources are vanishing and the goverment thinks that somehow, a fully online system is a great idea. Are they going to offer free smart phones to everyone? Free internet access so you can link up with the database? Someone to help you set up?

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

The council didn't care. They were just pushing their jobs onto volunteers like me. They didn't care that they were forcing people to give out sensitive information to a random volunteer. As long as they didn't have to deal with any of it

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

If I had been a bad actor, I would have had access to so much senstive information that I could of used. Forcing people to use a system, especially a technology based one, does not make them suddenly able to do these things. It makes them more vulnerable

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

More often than not, the person in question didn't even want to learn IT. They just wanted to have this form filled in for them. Multiple times I set up emails and verified them with my phone, because they didn't have smart phone. I knew passwords, full names, I scanned a passport with my phone

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

I used to volunteer at my local library to help with "teaching IT". Usually this would mean helping someone apply online for a benifit, bus pass, waste collection, leave to remain, basically council/goverment services that had been forced online or were near impossible to do offline

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

Honestly, this has to be one of the most uniting issues I've seen. Both people on the left and right are like "nah no no no baaad idea"

Foffle @foffle.bsky.social · 14d

The announcement of plans for Digital ID in the UK being right next to a news story about a nursery being hacked and personal information about children being leaked is the sort of foreshadowing that you'd roll your eyes at for being way too obvious if you heard it in a story
