This actually checks out. In DND, when you "conjure an animal," you actually summon a fey spirit that takes the form of that animal. And, we all know the fey are mischievous.

How funny, I only recently learned of 9Front after trying to find out if there's still a fork going of the original UNIX OS from Bell Labs (which is exactly what 9Front is... I think.)
Anyway, nice article. Thanks for posting.
I had a dream that my cousins and I were having a get-together at my aunt's house, in the yard. My cousin, John, was the last to arrive and his car fell into a ditch as he was attempting to pull into my aunt's driveway.
We all ran to his aid. He got out quickly and yelled "I'm okay!"
We all laughed. I said "Wow, this is just like old times! Everyone is here, even (my other cousin) Jane! ... wait, Jane is here?"
I look at Jane, and time stops. The color fades from the background, but she is still there in full color, smiling at me. I wake up crying.
Jane (not her real name) died a couple years ago, and I have variations of this dream still.
I'm in my mid 30s. Nothing has changed here in that time. SE USA just does not have gas infrastructure.
Also, I've never heard the word "hob" in my life. A quick Google seems to show that is what we call a "stove top" or a "stove burner" or "stove eye."
Growing up, every stove I saw had these:
You still see those, but these days this type is more common:
Interesting map. I am very solidly in the yellow.
I grew up in rural SE USA and now live in metro SE USA. I have seen gas fireplaces, but they are more of a luxury item and not used for heating. The people who do have them have a gas storage tank on their property, usually.
I find these articles so odd. I have never once in my life seen a gas appliance outside of a campground.
Here's the original wallpaper as well. (Might want to set this as your lock screen wallpaper so that it matches but is less busy.)
A lose-your-shit post?
Welp, I started to do the life on planets with no atmosphere separately, then I realized I could make it compact enough to all fit together.
