Congratulations to Marcille DungeonMeshi for achieving Pathetic Little Man status on tumblr, a hard glass ceiling for many female characters to break. I look forward to calling you my sopping wet beast and poor little meow meow for fandom days to come. Keep trucking babygirl, you'll bag Falin one day

Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?

no way i must have missed an update!

The Epaulette shark is only about 9 million years old as a species, making it the most recent branch in the shark family. And it is slowly but surely evolving into a land animal

She's getting cooked on twitter but she's entirely correct

idk dude the Jack Daniel's logo is bigger than the Coca-Cola logo, I think this is a case of if you idiot-proof something nature makes a bigger idiot

Cannabis alcohol and caffeine are all regulated with labels on the packaging, and so long as they take a second to read instead of guzzling at random like a wild animal they should be fine.

people literally died because of a beverage that did not prominently display its (absurdly, dangerously high) caffeine content, and that's just the most recent example. OP is correct and saying "lol consumers are just dum-dums" feels like the McDonald's coffee lawsuit all over again.

Also maybe not everyone knows Jack Daniel's is an alcoholic company.

Plus the eye may be drawn to the pop of Red coloring (The Coca-Cola Logo) on this Monochrome Black and White Can first

It would literally be so easy to standardise this from a design perspective. All you need to do is add a coloured band around the can, for example cyan for alcohol, yellow for caffeine, magenta for CBD or THC (with lettering telling you which is which). Badly drawn with finger on phone vision below:

The bands could state the dose too.

The eye is naturally attracted to color against a monochrome black & white background. In this case, they saw Coca Cola instead of the Jack Daniel's logo. Coke Zero has an entirely too similar design, making this easier to mistake for it.

It's a design failure based on aesthetics rather than logic. All that visual noise becomes static with that little bit of color standing out because of it.

Finding the caffeine and dosage on a drink is difficult because it's rarely bolded, and it's often the same size as the rest of the information. Not all drinks even I clude the dosage. I can manage up to 40mg, any higher results in Problems, like seizures. I shouldn't have to search online for the dosage nor eto even find out if it contains caffeine.

The strips of color at the top of a can or bottle is perfect, but must include the dosage for caffeine, CBD, and THC. Alcohol percentage is always at the bottom and should have a bright strip of color as well. These are a simple solution and will save lives. Especially for those with poor eyesight, folks with allergies to these specific ingredients (I know several people allergic to cannabis and hemp) or sensitivity (me and caffeine), and/or using meds that don't play well with these additions.

Also I know this is controversial with many many people but people who you consider idiots for not reading the label more carefully also don’t deserve to go into diabetic shock / have an intolerance reaction / have a dangerous blood pressure drop / be drunk or high if they don’t want to be. Like idk if people just aren’t catching this part but the person in the original screenshot was looking for coke ZERO, got a big swallow of sugar and alcohol, and almost called 911. They are very clearly diabetic and this is an extremely serious mistake to make.

I dunno how many times we have to have the “should I care about disabled people even tho their problems don’t affect ME” conversation but it’s getting real old. If your solution is ever “just be smarter”, there is someone vulnerable that you are forsaking.

tumblr is wild because you’ll see a post that’s vagueing about another popular post and go like huh yeah you’re right. but then you finally see the post that post was talking about and it’s just literally not what the person talking about it claimed it was

post on your dash: i cannot believe you’re all uncritically reblogging that post where OP implies all dogs should be thrown into the ocean and killed

original post when you stumble across it the next day: i think maybe people should be more careful with introducing dogs that don’t do well with crowds into crowded spaces
