How it started:

How it's going:

@systlin made the mistake of adding a couple of quick lines about overpopulation in the King's Landing Kingswood to A Crossing of Fires and then I compounded the issue by doing maths about it and now the entire rest of the fic has been derailed

THERE ARE TOO MANY FUCKING DEER

@jarl-deathwolf this is based on calculations of the size of the Kingswood based on the official maps, and on the fact that it is a temperate rainforest, along with canonical info from the books is it is a private royal preserve where only the king or people he grants permission can legally hunt. We just plugged in deer population increase data based on irl studies of deer population increase in areas denuded of most natural predators and with little in the way of annual hunting cull.

It's all accurate

the fact that this is a legitimate extrapolation of the facts from canon is seriously the funniest part

There hasn't been a severe winter to kill them off in at least twenty years. There has been summer for TEN YEARS.

I hope everyone likes venison because it's about to flow like water.

i chime in with a haven't you people ever heard of

culling the goddamn deer

No, it's much better to leave these kinds of things

Until they've done growth exponentially

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

Imagine you’re some little evil woman sitting in Hades’ throne room when Orpheus walks in to make a deal to get Eurydice back, and Hades is like “yeah ok, just don’t look back otherwise she has to stay here” then walks out of the room. Almost immediately after hearing the conditions, Orpheus breaks his own neck so that it is physically impossible for him to turn it, and then demands that you gouge out his eyes for good measure. Eurydice then gets really upset because she’s convinced this is a sign that Orpheus hates her and never wants to see her again, and Orpheus is completely convinced that this was a normal and logical thing to do.

You are literally the only person in the universe who recognizes this as an act of love. They both then insult you to your face for thinking this is anything other than very normal (Orpheus), or petty hatred (Eurydice).

You are Ianthe Tridentarius.

vice news

ironically i am working right now so i can’t do a full post on this like i would really prefer to do… but these are the most cartoonishly evil people that you could possibly imagine, even in a society as flawed as the one we’ve built for ourselves. these are bedrock groups devoted to protecting the american worker and consumer. massive huge giant waving red flags 🚩

i am telling you this is going to snowball into something nobody wants to see. the only upside is that this might actually lead to a worker uprising. this is fucking ghoulish.

Congratulations! You are now a Magic-User!!

The post about angel wings not needing to be purely white to be beautiful reminded me of a picture I LOVE

This pigeon is an angel

“Dammit, the neighbor’s flashing us again”

i learned that there's a Japanese beetle that when eaten by a frog will haul ass through its digestive system and escape out the back end unscathed (x)

you eat me and i perfectly dodge all of your digestive enzymes and stomach acid and i sprint out your asshole fully intact

Telephone Sheep by Jean Luc Cornec

wow you actually found a practical use for that reaction image

holy shit

Why does basil smell so fucking amazing

Good points. Wait what was that first thing

My coworker Mike just started cracking up. Informed us someone was trying to make a test Outlook group at work and seems to have accidentally made it a real Outlook group.

Everyone added to the group is named Mike.

Creator of the group isn’t online yet but the Mikes are coming online in droves.

“Why was I added to this group? What do I have in common with all these other Mikes?” -one of the Mikes

“Ah, so this is Mikerosoft” (<- you’re never gonna guess what company I work for)

One Mike has suggested this is an effort by the group-creator to hunt Mikes for sport

Coworker (Mike T.) has informed us he had a meeting earlier today, and among the participants one person was missing (Mike S.) Current theory is first Mike casualty had occurred. More will follow.

Current suggestion is we attempt to add a non-Mike to the group, to test its security.

Coworker Alex: "Alex log, day 207. The Mikes have started to accept me as one of their own."

Delighted to inform you the group creator is not a Mike at all. It is apparently some guy named Ashton.

I want to thank you all for being here when it happened.

my first post to go viral was the one where we all celebrated palindromes.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

peace and love on planet earth.

Getting a bit sick of all the "ooh I'm so glad Laios has a soft body!" "Laios is built like an average guy" style posts. Because he doesn't and isn't.

Laios is built like a fucking professional wrestler. He isn't like, super chiseled or anything but he does not have an "average" body, he his built like someone who does a LOT of physical effort and training.

Let me put this in terms you understand: "all your brakes are belong to dust" and if you don't finally replace them you might "do a barrel roll" into whatever is on the side of the road
