I had a Terry's Chocolate Orange once in an airport 10 years ago (they’re very hard to come by in the US, I’ve never seen them sold anywhere else) and I think about it everyday.

So what you’re saying in the replies is that they are sold everywhere and they’re just hiding them from me every time I enter a store.

So what you’re saying is some sort of evil sorcerer put a curse on me to make Terry’s chocolate oranges totally invisible to me.

Attempting to obtain the orange by other means is not working.

My mother just told me she bought me a chocolate orange one year for Christmas and put it in my stocking over the fireplace and it MELTED BEFORE I COULD EAT IT. I’m starting to think there is an actual curse on me and this is no longer a joke.

You know what. I’m starting a new aesthetic, population me.

Romantic Science, AKA Dark Academia for STEM people.

  • Thrifting a lab coat and embroidering it with your initials and a little insignia, whose significance is known to you and your lab partner only
  • Watching The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game and Hidden Figures and basically every movie about historical scientists and mathematicians you can find
  • Decorating your desk with old slide rules and vintage lab equipment. Your prize possession is a set of vintage lenses you found at a thrift store
  • Wanting an articulated human skeleton far, far too much
  • Getting a set of (brand new, NOT thrifted, be safe ppl) beakers to drink from, and putting them directly onto your stovetop to boil water for tea or coffee, because borosilicate glass can survive anything.
  • Secretly relating far too much to Henry Jekyll and Victor Frankenstein, because you too want to do a gay little science experiment that challenges god.
  • Thunderstorms and late nights in the lab, the light of the Bunsen burner glistening off of your flasks and scribbled chalkboard equations
  • Papering your walls with vintage scientific diagrams; even if you know that our understanding of the world has evolved since they were made, looking back at scientific history is amazing
  • Writing code late at night and feeling, in some metaphysical way, as though Ada Lovelace herself is with you in spirit
  • Being far, FAR too obsessed with the concept of emergent ai sentience and how it has the potential to be Frankenstein irl
  • Looking through a telescope on clear nights, whispering the names of the constellations and stars, painting a star chart on your ceiling in a burst of creative inspiration
  • Collecting and mounting samples from everywhere you can think of to pore over in an antique microscope
  • Bringing a field journal wherever you go, learning how to draw and label botanical samples, preserving plants and flowers for study later
  • Dreaming of what undiscovered mysteries lie in the deepest depths of the sea, feeling the thrill of discovery whenever you learn about a new species and one day hoping to discover one yourself
  • Just. Romanticise STEM.

My favorite genre of tumblr post is "op finds out they are allergic to something when they post that said thing makes their tounge, mouth, or skin burn/itch/swell up and everyone is like um yeah thats not supposed to happen" (as well as the notable subgenre "one or more people discover they are colorblind")

Anyway keep it up this is literally never not funny.

I thought they put pineapple on pizza because it was the only spicy fruit….

I miss the illusion of the world making sense.

it would take 2.3 million years for Jeff Bezos to earn his $183.3b net worth working 24 hours a day at New Mexico’s $9/hr minimum wage.

That’s 11.5 times longer than the human race has existed.

What if we gave it a twist? Rather than earning that amount of money, what if it was to save that amount while still paying bills and feeding himself?

And since it IS hell, his car starts making a Noise about once a month.

Add in some overdraft fees to spice things up 🔥

If you don’t want to read the article, the problem is they make production slow to a crawl, so doing three frames with complicated eyes in them will take about two hours. The average pay for one frame is 200 yen, which comes out to about two dollars. These are grown ass adults doing their fulltime job to pay their bills. And these god awful eyes are making them do two hours of work to earn six dollars.

The detailed eyes are not a good thing.

Actually no.

The detailed eyes are not the issue and not what should be criticized.

Japan’s animation industry is *grossly* abusive to it’s employees. Animators are constantly being forced into crunsh for minimal pay.

Animation jobs should be saleryed. The entire concept of “compensation per fram” is absolutely horrible and is what we should focus our energy on.

Like how can you read “These people get paid 6 bucks for 2 hours of work” and blame the thing they produced rather then the industry model that causes them to be so grossly under payed?

yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:

(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)

so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)

I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.

Pretend to be upset.

OP how could you

I hope none of my friends who use Adobe programs find this, follow your detailed instructions, and spread the word. That would be devastating!

was explaining to my mom on the phone the concept of a cosmic horror and she hit me with the one hit k.o. of "oh you mean like horton hears a who?"

Avatar
pensivetense

me: yeah so basically a cosmic horror is the fear of a godlike being or entity so much bigger than yourself and your perception of the universe that your brain cant possibly comprehend it, often leading to some sort of madness in the stories because of this "break" in your perception of reality because this entity is so incomprehensible to your limited worldview. the concept is credited to h.p. lovecraft because of stuff like cthulu but the guy was also a massive-

my mom, interjecting: ah, so like horton hears a who. i get it.

gotta get kids into the genre somehow

I still can’t believe that in the last 10 years Superman, Green Arrow, Flash and Supergirl all had live-action shows about them with 100-200 episodes, meanwhile Batman literally didn’t have his own show since the 60′s??

Like yeah he’s definitely overexposed on the big screen, but the fact fact that he (nor any of the Batkids) never had their own TV show is crazy to me.

Was anybody going to tell me that Alfred already has his own solo show and it’s currently on it’s 2nd season??

And the Batmobile is apparently is going to have its own show too??

Okay but the fact that Teen Titans Go managed to predict this makes all of this even funnier
