Day 723 of reblogging videos of adorable elephants.
It ... it thanked it!
Elephant saved by vaguely elephant-shaped mecha. "Thank you, Iron Elephant!"
“I don’t care about dumb weed jokes,” I said naively, before I saw this

"i'm literally looking at one right now dude"
(via @rlyehtaxidermist)
being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck
up late at night thinking about a guy who exists to three people. such a desire to talk about him until my lungs give out and read every scrap of fanfiction on the internet and yet there is NOTHING!!!! and i have to pretend to be NORMAL about this. "oh yes your character is cool. have you considered writing more" meanwhile the wolves in my brain are tearing and biting
sorry for romanticising the mundane. i have little else
My favorite bird has got to be the short-tailed pygmy tyrant cause first of all look at it:
But second of all this lil fella is "töpökääpiötypäkkö" in Finnish and that shit is just fun to say
How is töpökääpiötypäkkö pronounced?
Explaining it would be really hard, and I'm kinda self-conscious about my voice (weird for someone who's done streaming I know), but I found this site that does text-to-speech in Finnish and it actually works:
OH GOSH ITS NAME MEANS STUMPY-DWARF-SHORTFATTY.
And typäkkö, shortfatty, is a scientific name for certain birds. (or short-plumb or short-round, however you want to express that this birb is rotund)
I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."
Feel free to repost, no need for credit
obvs acab but the scottish police force have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Total eclipse, 08 April 2024.
ADHD is a disability. I know this. Nobody else around me does. When I say I can't do something, I don't need tips, I don't need encouragement, I need you to believe me. I need just one person to believe that I'm not lying when I say I am unable to do something because of my literal developmental disability. No more "just push through", no more "try harder", no more "I did it and you can too", because I am absolutely sure that in this moment I am unable to fucking do it! Please believe me for once. Please.
So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend
A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:
- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes
- Tui and La are koi fish
- Hei Bai is a panda
-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)
Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.
Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.
My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.
Don't forget Miyuki!
this is the funniest piece of graffiti i’ve ever seen. thank you mr two pens
Playing world of warcraft means you have to make tough choices
"Researchers found microplastics in soil deposits more than seven meters (23 feet) underground, which were deposited in the first or second century CE and excavated in the 1980s, a team led by researchers from the University of York in the United Kingdom said in a statement published Friday.
In total, the study identified 16 different microplastic polymer types in contemporary and archived soil samples, the statement adds.
[...]
“This feels like an important moment, confirming what we should have expected: that what were previously thought to be pristine archaeological deposits, ripe for investigation, are in fact contaminated with plastics, and that this includes deposits sampled and stored in the late 1980s,” John Schofield, a professor and director of studies in the University of York’s Department of Archaeology, said in the statement."
[...]
“Our best-preserved remains—for example, the Viking finds at Coppergate (in the city of York)— were in a consistent anaerobic waterlogged environment for over 1000 years, which preserved organic materials incredibly well,” he said in the statement.
“The presence of microplastics can and will change the chemistry of the soil, potentially introducing elements which will cause the organic remains to decay. If that is the case, preserving archaeology in situ may no longer be appropriate.”
