Imperial passport of Kublai Khan βI am the emissary of the Khan. If you defy me, you die.β 1240 A.D. [886x960]
Controversial take if I've ever heard one
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????
Solar eclipse shadows
sports wizards casually showing off their powers
Narcissus taking a selfie is the ACTUAL best.
These are REALLY cool
These are art in themselves, in a some of them point out what lockdown was like for us, theyβre expressed themselves in a really cool way. But I think these are going to be talked about in the future.
There you are, innocently eating tapas at a restaurant, when you hear boss fight music behind you:
(He'll have the Caesar salad, gracias.)
This 10 meter tall statue of Augustus looms over Puerta Cinegia GastronΓ³mica, a dining/shopping mall in Zaragoza, Spain. Augustus founded the town as Caesaraugusta (hence Zara-agoza) over 2000 years ago as a colony for veterans of the Cantabrian Wars, and many Roman ruins are still visible. I now want to visit Zaragoza.
Everyone commenting "This is terrifying":
A) You are 100% correct!
B) This is only the top half of the statue. He has feet!
And C) they had to take apart and reassemble him to fit him inside the building! Ever wanted to see a Roman emperor topless?
He's just standing there. Menacingly. Ruining people's lunches.

My favourite song for line dancing
strawberries | raspberries | currants | cherries
β by Virginia Granberry (1831-1921)
when a pelican bites you there's no malice in their eyes. they aren't upset at you. they are just hungry and want to see if you fit in their mouths. and if you don't then it's no problem and everything is fine. and if you do then well i guess your fate is sealed but that's ok it's a beautiful animal
Okay, see, I knew about the capybara gif:
But I didnβt know that they really are That Dense, All The Time. The same way sharks will bite anything that might be a seal, just in case, these birdbrains will apparently test just about anything for beak size.Β
Behold a short list of bad ideas:
Human foot is not food, bird.
That is clearly bigger than your entire body.
...You do know what a bear cub is, right? Right??
That is a BICYCLE SEAT.
Thatβs it; arrested for bird crimes.
orvillepeck: what did you think all them saddles and boots was about?
The universe has absolutely no say, whatsoever. Choose another dream. This one's already come true.
Im gonna shuffle my giant playlist of every song i like and if the very first one that plays isnt exactly what i want to hear right this second im gna lose it
