i'm no good at painting sorry. i have excessive line work instead
My favourite kind of poll is ones where OP clearly made a VERY incorrect assumption
I hate when people use the phraseΒ βwhat have I doneβ because then sweet jesus what have I done become a thief in the night become a dog on the run have I fallen so far and is the hour so late that nothing remains but the cry of my hate the cries in the dark that nobody hears here where I stand at the turning of the years if thereβs another way to go I missed it twenty long years ago my life was a war that could never be won they gave me a number and murdered valjean when they chained me and left me for dead just for stealing a mouthful of bread yet why did I allow that man to touch my soul and teach me love he treated me like any other he gave m
ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to be a nervous young man

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesnβt make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.
I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.
Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.
And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didnβt give us blisters while hiking!
Is that not just the coolest shit ever????
Why did someone die in my inbox
hup
am i allowed to say stuff on here?
Okay, which Tumblr denizen is responsible for this? (and where can I get one?)
reddit is entering like an inverted renaissance of bad posting. this is one of the best/worst posts ive seen in a long time
i am also constantly saying that we should eliminate 96% of men from the gene pool
I love this cos male pattern baldness is so trivial?? Like not using anything rare and debilitating as something to make your point, no hairloss is our most signifigant genetic problem. I love it
Eugenics is evil no matter the target but it says so much about the writer that they went for baldness as their example instead of like, cystic fibrosis. The poster child for easy-to-track, extremely debilitating recessive conditions. Guy tried to market eugenics and didn't even take the low-hanging fruit.
side note: women also carry the male pattern baldness gene in approximately equal amounts to men, it just isn't expressed. So you'd be sterilising 96% of the total population in his example. Which I'm certain would not basically destroy modern society it would be fine.
Further update: while there is no single male pattern baldness gene, the most critical genes involved are X-linked. So you'd only need to sterilise most women. Which would definitely have no major repercussions. Totally fine.
Gene Roddenberry knew what he was about when he said that in his utopian vision of the future, we wouldnβt have eliminated baldness, we just wouldnβt care about it anymore.
Yeah, but he also said we'd have evolved past pockets, religion, and cursing, so you win some, you lose some.
