Human Disaster

a dude came into the library stoned out of his mind and was like, “do I need a library card to look at books?” And I said, “to take books home, yes. To look at them, no” and he looked so relieved. bro was staring at a fish encyclopedia for like an hour and then just left.

this is literally all society needs to be

I love everything about every single one of these

my god... she's come down with a case of "soup madness"

“For generalized anxiety disorder, an increased muscular tonus in comparison to non-anxious persons has been found“ good news we’re all yolked as hell

sadly this is not because we’re constantly clenching our muscles, they actually say its because we’re all trembling 24/7 which is objectively way funnier…. 

Like chihuahua.

zero light plants

THIS IS SUCH A SPECIFIC AND SUPER NECESSARY POST.

Spider plants are among the best natural air filters you can put in a flowerpot. They don’t just produce oxygen, they clean out other gases and toxins and whatever else is floating around the room.

Also they’re easy as fuck to grow more of because they reproduce by putting little mini plants out on stalks. Clip one off, stick it in a pot and you’re good!

Spider plants are safe to have around cats, too!

Windcatchers are fascinating.

Also called wind towers and wind scoops, windcatchers have been used in North Africa and the Middle East for thousands of years to provide natural ventilation & passive cooling. They fell out of popularity after the introduction of HVAC systems, but are now experiencing a revival because they’re so practical and cost-effective. Here’s how they work:

Not only are they an engineering masterpiece–they’re gorgeous

Windcatchers rely on local weather instead of the electric grid, making them affordable, reliable, and eco-friendly. they’re a terrific example of how vernacular and traditional architecture is often more suited to its environment–and more livable–than modern polite architecture. 

Windcatcher Facts™

Due to the high cost and heavy CO2 emissions of electric air conditioning, windcatchers are receiving renewed interest. Specifically, architects are researching ways that windcatcher technology can be improved and adapted to modern times [4]. Long-standing issues with traditional wind towers include performance problems such as air short circuiting, and practical issues such as the ingress of dust, insects and small animals. New concept designs are emerging all the time, and some have already been built, and are being used in cities and universities throughout the Middle East.

In conclusion windcatchers are fascinating and can be used in both fantasy and cyberpunk world building!

Happy Darwin Day to my fellow Biology nerds!

god wouldn’t let me sleep last night until I made this

i am going to expound on my tags even though no one asked and i don’t actually know if op’s thought process mirrors mine

let us first assume that these alignments apply to the art, and not the artist

my feeling is, if you can read how the art works and watch someone else do it and feel like you understand how it works, it’s Lawful

if you read how the art works and watch someone else do it and come out the other end more confused than when you started, and possibly crying trapped in a web of yarn, it’s Chaotic

if you do the art to relax and can genuinely remain relaxed throughout the process instead of just saying “i am relaxing” through your grit teeth, it is Good

if you do the art knowing that it will hurt you but willing to make that sacrifice for the end result, all the while knowing that most people will not actually appreciate the end result as much as they should, it is Evil

Me, while standing in the woods: wow I would really love to make a BARGAIN right now. A poorly defined WAGER or PROMISE sounds really appealing

Fuck. Those fuckers at the store sold me No Purpose Flour again. What the fuck do I do with this

you laugh. my flour is bereft of purpose and you mock me. hell upon you, fool
