こんにちは皆さん！

me, a 1967 housewife and homemaker, preparing a pork roast for my three children and unappreciative businessman husband while Star Trek s02e01 “Amok Time” plays on my brand-new state-of-the-art color TV in the background, minding my own business, happening to glance up during the fight scene:

It would have been a pretty late dinner for kids.  It its first run, Trek started 8:30pm, so the fight scene would have been at almost 9:30pm.

You really just gonna walk into this home and criticize my parenting? As if I don’t do enough for this family? Why did I ever marry you? You didn’t even thank me for the pork roast I worked on all evening IswearIdossomuchforyouandyounevertakethetimetoappreciateitI’msodamntiredallthetimemybackhurtsfromcookingporkroastjustletmerelaxandwatchsomefuckingstartrekyouasshole-

I can’t believe that we live in such a dystopia that people are reverting to roleplaying as 60′s housewives to cope. smh 2020 I expected better from you.

When I try to make a meme about watching the gay ass homoerotic fight scene from Star Trek but all people wanna do is psychoanalyze me, and also I burned the pot roast cause I was distracted by an argument with my husband

The epidemic began on September 13, 2005, when Blizzard introduced a new raid called Zul’Gurub into the game as part of a new update. Its end boss, Hakkar, could affect players by using a debuff called Corrupted Blood, a disease that damages players over time, this one specifically doing significant damage. The disease could be passed on between any nearby characters, and would kill characters with lower levels in a few seconds, while higher level characters could keep themselves alive. It would disappear as time passed or when the character died. Due to a programming error, players’ pets and minions carried the disease out of the raid.

Non-player characters could contract the disease but were asymptomatic to it and could spread it to others.[2] At least three of the game’s servers were affected. The difficulty in killing Hakkar may have limited the spread of the disease. Discussion forum posters described seeing hundreds of bodies lying in the streets of the towns and cities. Deaths in World of Warcraft are not permanent, as characters are resurrected shortly afterward.[3] However, dying in such a way is disadvantageous to the player’s character and incurs inconvenience.[4]

During the epidemic, normal gameplay was disrupted. Player responses varied but resembled real-world behaviors. Some characters with healing abilities volunteered their services, some lower-level characters who could not help would direct people away from infected areas, some characters would flee to uninfected areas, and some characters attempted to spread the disease to others.[2] Players in the game reacted to the disease as if there was real risk to their well-being.[5] Blizzard Entertainment attempted to institute a voluntary quarantine to stem the disease, but it failed, as some players didn’t take it seriously, while others took advantage of the pandemonium.[2] Despite certain security measures, players overcame them by giving the disease to summonable pets.[6] Blizzard was forced to fix the problem by instituting hard resets of the servers and applying quick fixes.[3]

The major towns and cities were abandoned by the population as panic set in and players rushed to evacuate to the relative safety of the countryside, leaving urban areas filled to the brim with corpses, and the city streets literally white with the bones of the dead.[7]

Orgrimmar during the incident.

This is legitimately one of the most fascinating events in online and/or gaming history to date.

This post leaves out the most incredible part, which is that the CDC straight up contacted Blizzard and asked for all the data they had on the Corrupted Blood Plague for the purposes of refining their models of epidemic behavior in real human populations. 

History.

Uh, Minnie, I have something to tell you…

youd be scared too if a 6 inch tall naked human sprinted across your floor

Thats fair

What rent?

tom nook lets you sell literally anything at his stores, and for fair prices, doesn’t force you to pay off rent, doesn’t charge interest, gives you a base house at no cost (save the optional loan to pay off), and makes any upgrades optional… when will the slander of him cease

hes not gonna fuck you

you dont know that

i love it when video games give me meaningful dialogue choices that are going to influence the story

I love this man

Oh my god, I've just seen this story on instagram about this guy that filled his bathtub with waterbead...except he didn't think about how he was going to empty it.

So he unplugged the bathtub which was apparently the worst idea he could possibly have because this happened

So he panicked and started asking people on the internet what he should do. Which was also a bad idea.

First suggestion: flush the toilet

This caused a smelly overflow that flooded the whole bathroom.

Second suggestion: vaccum the beads

His vaccum caught fire.

At this point it had actually spread to the neighborhood and people came to ask question but he denied knowing anything about it. He then discovered that it's invaded the whole sewer system.

And yet, he continued to take suggestion from the internet.

Third suggestion: put salt in

It actually worked. Well, until.

Poop apprently started flooding his house.

And then the streets.

It all happened yesterday so we're still waiting on an update on the situation but I hadn't laugh like this in a while.

You should go and watch the whole story (it's in 4 parts)

It's in french, but you get it even if you don't speak it and his screams of panic are hilarious

Word of warning: don't fill your bathtub with waterbeads. Just don't.

Update on the situation. The waterbeads have totally blocked the sewer system. He received a letter from town hall telling people to report nuisances to the cops that are searching for the culprit.

He's in so much trouble that I'm starting to feel guilty for finding this funny...but still kinda laughing about it.

this is making me SCREAM

oc design is just “this is me” and “god I wish that were me” in random measurements on a scale

may I present an alternative take

when parasite said the rich can afford to be kind, when parasite said global warming is most catastrophic for those least responsible, when parasite said the rich are the ones with access to sunlight, when parasite said the efforts of the working class are invisible to their exploiters, when parasite said water only ever flows from the rich down to the poor and never in reverse, when parasite said the rich are the real parasites for leeching off of their workers' labour

to this day i am flat-out stunned by the way the pirates of the caribbean theme PERFECTLY evokes a jaunty swashbuckler riding atop the bowsprit of a magnificent—yet foreboding!—18th century galleon, from whose mainmast the jolly roger flaps spectacularly in a high wind. like? how’d you do it? some cellos? how.

that’s hans zimmer baby
