im having feelings about the uffington white horse again
so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.
people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.
we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.
the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?
couldn’t agree more we’re best friends now
in 1978, sanrio made a crocodile called big challenges. he was never used for anything.
he believes that you can overcome your own big challenges !

A young man stands in his bedroom, it just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2023, is this young mans birthday. though it was 27 years ago he was given life, it is only today that he finds neil absolutely banging out the tunes
Keep banging out tunes little buddy!!
its so disturbing how many people get appendectomies when there's no evidence that it even helps with appendicitis :/ hm? oh? no i know about that but it wasn't double blind so it doesn't count. you know. one of those double blind appendectomy studies where we give people with appendicitis a placebo appendectomy and the doctors doing it also don't know if they've actually removed the appendix or not at the end of the procedure. yeah nobody's done one of those so the evidence doesn't count and if looks like there's just no evidence for appendectomies :/ and some of the people getting them might be autistic so idk if they can really consent to having their body permanently altered... but of course you can't talk about any of this because of Woke nowadays...
in the google doc. straight up "writing it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. Nothing
Hi I just learnt that grebe the bird existed and I am intrigued do you have any knowledge to drop on the dudes
BOY DO I! grebes are my favorite waterfowl!
they're specialist divers and fish hunters, and they're a pretty wide group with a LOT of species!
and they're all freaks. every single one of them.
they're most closely related to FLAMINGOS, of all things, which is why their feet are so weird! they evolved completely separate from other waterfowl like ducks and geese, so they did the flipper thing totally backwards.
this is going to be a theme, nothing these birds do is normal.
unlike other specialist diving birds (coughcough LOONS coughcough), they aren't totally incompetent on land! just, again. total freaks about it.
aaagh I love them so much I might actually explode
also they swim like frogs, babies can dive pretty much immediately after hatching, and adults can minutely adjust their buoyancy in the water at will like a fucking submarine. you just can't make any of this shit up.
also for emphasis on that last point: you're out on a river and you see a smallish brown duck-thing paddling around in the water. it makes eye contact with you and then just. fuckign sinks.
My roommate and I were joking about having a little Saint Senshi to protect our kitchen so I made one in the style of orthodox saint icons and went out to find the tackiest picture frame to give it authenticity
tumblr just gave everyone a cardboard tube and said go wild
