"Oh hell yeah finally some good information about Pythagoras and Goetia, this is really interes- what the fuck is snake-blasting."
"Huh. I guess the Chaldean Babylonian sorcerers blasted snakes."

and i think to myself. what a wonderful world
Medieval authors were so fucking funny. In "The Faerie Queene" this guy comes up to the main hero and is like "Don't go over to that cave, there's a guy inside that makes people kill themselves." And the hero is like "Bet." and goes into the cave. Then the old man (literally called Despair) is like "If you die, you can't commit sin." and can you guess what happened.
They also fucking LOVED King Arthur. Like 9/10 in any book published back then, there would be a King Arthur cameo. The original blorbo. He would just show up mid-story and be like "I'm on an adventure! But I guess I can lend my aid to you first since I'm so noble and awesome." And people would just eat that shit up.
It's beautiful that humanity never changes
sensors are indicating that he's turning into some kind of... "rap god"
the only grind I respect is girls grinding against each other or something. like whatever the mortar and pestle get up to
I have trouble taking care of my teeth because everything that involves doing that is a sensory nightmare. I decide to do some research to see if there's anything I can do about this. The results?
"How to make your autistic child brush their teeth"
"Autistic Children and Sensory issues relating to tooth brushing"
"How to get your little shit to brush his fucking teeth"
Like, yeah Google, thanks, that really helps. And like, even if I was a child, some of the advice seemed... unhelpful. Like, doing a dance and singing a song while brushing your teeth? Even for a kid, I don't think that would help distract from a sensory experience as intense as brushing your teeth. Like, the extremely intense and unpleasant flavor, the intense feeling of the brush against your teeth scraping across it, even mouthwash has such an intense and disgusting flavor that I have difficulty keeping it in my mouth for more than a few seconds. I wish there was SOMETHING that could be done.
I actually did research on how to keep your teeth clean if you don't have access to a toothbrush or toothpaste! I needed the info for a story, but thankfully it also has real world applications. Maybe something here will help:
Obviously not all of that is from my pre-modern teeth cleaning research—some is from personal experience! But hopefully something in there is useful to you
It's absolute bullshit that we have to approach these problems sideways because the people actually making "helpful" articles about it are all ableist :| Maybe some day soon we as a society can get over that.
Oh my God you are my hero thank you so much

I'm sure Dungeon Meshi is fun but every single screenshot of it looks like this to me:
Marcielle: I literally scream I scream all the time no matter if a situation calls for it or not see watch this AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Liaos: You have to cut the creature meat against the grain you'll make the meat too tender you see griffin meat was popular in 345 bce before they invented the pitchfork and before they would only eat the knee of this creature so in order to preserve it I will strip like the ancients in 345 bce to eat this heavenly piece of meat
Chucktick or whatever his name is: Honest to god I hope you kill yourself
Senshi: You can't be saying that white baby
