going straight to tumblr after learning that prince philip finally died is like hearing the latest gossip in your victorian parlor room and then leaving the house to find your nearest paper boy screaming βhot off the press! prince is finally dead!β just to confirm
Itβs literally a circle. Theyβre cousins. Itβs insane.
If you look up Queen Elizabethβs family tree, theyβve hidden it DEEP in Google searches, but if you look up Prince Phillipβs family tree youβll see the circle right away.
And it gets worse lmfao because their common ancestor, Queen Victoria, has quite the family tree herself:
Two circles are seen here - one alarmingly small showing that Victoria and her husband Albert are first cousins. The bigger one shows that her own mother married her third cousin once removed, making Victoria her own mothers fourth cousin, meaning Albert was not just Victorias cousin, but also her fourth cousin once removed.
This means that Elizabeth is Philips third cousin, and his fifth cousin and his seventh cousin once removed.
There's way more, but I had to clip it at some point, for now

amazonβs entire schtickΒ is to run other businesses into the ground by undercutting prices then ruling over their peasant customers.Β
FedEx just refuses to deliver to my house. Itβs too rural. They just wonβt do it.Β The USPS is gutted. If I need supplies or food or any emergency anything, am I going to risk the package being destroyed or never getting to my house, or grit my teeth and go with the chaotic evil monsters who will nonetheless give me the food or medicine I need?Β
And guess what? Amazon is directly and indirectly responsible for both the state of FedEx and the state of the USPS. They were allowed to create a monopoly and they were PREPARED for the further gutting of the USPS weβve seen in late 2020. In my rural area, with a pandemic on? I think people donβt understand what I mean when I say I have no choiceΒ sometimes, the same as I have no choiceΒ but to buy Comcast internet even tho itβs overpriced and unreliable.Β
It. Is. A. Monopoly. By. Design. Weβre being given no choice. The solution isnβt to attack the consumers; itβs to force the government to undermine the company and to actually support its citizens with things like the USPS.Β
Ethical consumption is a luxury afforded to the rich.
JESUS??Β
JESUS????
i had no idea they were so frickin huge
I love them so much because theyβre about as sharp as a baseballΒ and their anatomy is ridiculous to the point of them literally being classified as planktonΒ for years because they just sort of get blown around by the ocean and look confused, but because they lay more eggs than ANY OTHER VERTEBRATE IN EXISTENCE, evolution canβt stop them
Why is no big predator coming and gnawing on them?
Their biggest defense is that theyβre massive and have super tough skin, but they do get hunted by sharks or sea lions sometimes and they just sort of float there likeΒ βoh botherβ as it happens
Even funnier, because they eat nothing but jellyfish theyβre really low in nutritional value anyway, so they basically survive by being not worth eating because theyβre like a big floating rice cracker wrapped in leather.
So basically the only reason natural selection hasnβt taken care if them is because they are the most useless fish
yes, theyβve perfected uselessness to the point of being unstoppable
a true inspiration
It checks out
lmfaooo this is me 80% of the time
