this is one of the best puns i have ever seen
I sent this to my government teacher and he said it was the funniest thing a students ever showed him
Okay…
There is no way he believes this?
Nobody could possibly believe this…?

Prove me wrong. Do it.
I have a jar of peanut butter next to me on this desk.
Peanut butter was invented by an African-American named George Washington Carver.
Therefore, this is incorrect.
One thing. Oooh. How amazing. What about the computer you’re on? The house you’re living in? The floor your chair is on? The internet you’re using? The clothes you’re wearing? The heat/air conditioner you’re enjoying? All invented by white men who you liberals HATE.
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAH. Dude.
A black man invented the air conditioning unit. His name was Fredrick M. Jones.
Okay so I was wrong about that. What about the others?
The computer wouldn’t work if a woman didn’t invent COBOL, which allows computers to actually understand and run computer programs, basically. I’m simplifying that a lot, but it’s pretty important.
What a bitter, lonely human being
I love the logic fail too. Maybe a majority of things were invented by white men because they were the only ones allowed access to good education for a long time? Maybe because a lot of male inventors did things in tandem with their wives, or even fronted for them entirely? How about restrictions on filing patents, or bribing of the patent offices to steal work, etc., etc.
“I wish we could go back to the good old days” says horrible person on devices and mediums made by a multitude of races and genders.
Oh, I don’t know, how about… THE NUMBER SYSTEM? You think white men invented that? Wrong.
Indians invented the modern number system. It is often called Arabic numerals because it came to Europe through the Arabs. But Arabs themselves call it as “HindSaa” meaning - “given by Hindus or Indians”. The Persians copied the Indian number system and then passed it on to the Arabs. Then an Italian mathematician named Fibonacci traveled to Algeria to study. When he came back home, he brought the Indian numerals with him. He wrote about the system in his book “Liber Abaci.” This system soon gained wide acceptance throughout Europe. Today it is the number system used in practically the whole world.
Other notable Indian inventions: Damascus steel (which has never been successfully replicated), rocket artillery, buttons, cotton gins, crucible steel, maritime docks, india ink, modern algebra, Prefabricated home and movable structures.
China has also been the source of many significant inventions, including the Four Great Inventions: papermaking, the compass, gunpowder, and printing (bothwoodblock and movable type). These are just a few examples.
Honestly, if you look at history you’ll see that white conquerers did more to steal/destroy knowledge and set other cultures centuries back rather than invent anything useful themselves. Nice job proving what a chauvinist racist you are without doing a scrap of research. The only thing you’ve accomplished is broadcasting your own ignorance. Why don’t you try doing something useful with your life, like… inventing something?
Fun fact: The current British accent we all know and love is really a recent development that came to be shortly after the American Revolution. There’s lots of speculation and nothing really clear why (that I found) but one source I read said it was because new money Brits who were once part of the working class wanted to distinguish themselves apart from their lower class beginnings and it just caught on and became the standard. So all in all generic American and Canadian accents are closer to the original pronunciation of English than the British accents.
I’ve seen a little back and forth about Samus’s apparent tendency to wear heavy eye makeup even when in the field and have some thoughts.
For one; idk man, maybe she just likes the way it looks? We could get into Deep Character Analysis about her probably-complicated relationship with how human culture conceptualizes gender and presentation but I think it probably just boils down to “she likes the way it looks.” And I think that’s great!
As an added bonus, she can wear makeup under the helmet, it’s not like it’s going to get messed up by the environment, or by her touching her face. I’d honestly probably wear makeup more often too if I didn’t have to worry about fixing it.
For two, and this is something that dawned on me earlier today; considering all anyone sees of her is just that tiny strip of her face, heavy eye makeup is basically halfway to war-paint.
Seriously, think about it. Imagine you’re some GF Marine mook hanging around on duty and Samus Aran, legendary bounty hunter (of mostly ambiguous gender and species), shows up at your base. Most people only ever see them from afar, and from a distance that visor looks like it’s opaque green.
But then they pass you by in the hall and look your way, and the light hits just the right angle through that visor and you see
Intense pale eyes outlined in stark black.
That’d probably make you jump, wouldn’t it? (One would hate to be on the receiving end of an even more focused or angry version of that look, wouldn’t they?)
I can vouch that this could be startling too. Recently I was hanging out at home before a recital done up in makeup and costume, and managed to spook my partner of 10 years by simply by making eye contact. I don’t wear makeup basically ever, so he was caught off-guard by the contrast and how intense it made me look, to the point it actually made him jump.
So yeah. Our girl probably just likes the way she looks with some extra definition, but maybe there’s a hint of a cheeky scare-tactic in there too.
Amen to that little dude

Kipo season 2 episode 1
don’t you @ me these are facts
I love how Kipo went from “aww, I’m a mutant freak :(” in season one to “holy shit, I’m a mutant freak! :D” in season two. Context helps.
My new headcanon is that when Leo first made it to the Clover Burrow with Kipo, they asked him why Kipo was purple and he was like "what do you mean? There's a lot of purple people where I come from? Do you not have purple humans here?"
And everyone was like sure, why not.
Remember that time “Teen Titans GO!” dedicated an issue to explain why Young Justice was garbage?
This is so beautifully on point, I love it.
