Reblog to save a life.
Self defense moment. These are good and valid ways to get out of restraints. I'm glad they made the video so I don't have to. Study them enough to understand how they work so you can use them if you need them.
mythbusters was so good because it wasn’t a killjoy show. they didn’t just say “see, it doesn’t work” and leave it there
whenever they find that the stunt doesn’t work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask “what would it take to make this happen?”
“we know it takes this amount of explosives to work, but what if we doubled it anyway?”
Some myths I’ll always remember:
* Are elephants scared of mice? (They only did that because they were in Africa and had access to elephants.)
* Will a bull run amok in a china shop?
* Is it better to run zig-zag or straight when chased by an alligator?
I love these because NONE of them turned out the way they expected. They went into all three with pre-conceived ideas of how it would go, and each time they “failed.” Elephants WILL cower from mice. A bull moves very gingerly through a china shop. It doesn’t matter how you run because ALLIGATORS WON’T CHASE YOU.
And each time, they reacted with just… pure glee. “Holy shit, we were wrong! Oh my god! This is great! We were so wrong!”
And that, to me, is what science is. Being excited about being wrong because either way it’s information.
Remember, one of their biggest explosions happened in the First Season. They put a cement truck in a quarry and put so much explosives in it that it was Vaporized by the explosion.
All reasons I loved watching it as a teenager when it aired.
fuck spotify playlists of characters. people need to start making these again. just vibes, varying accuracies and uncredited art.
Hi, everyone! Someone kindly asked for advice on how to end a story so here it is for everyone!
While every story has to end its own way, there are six general types of ending. Which one you go for will depend, of course, on the story you’re telling, and maybe also on the tropes or conventions of the genre you’re working within (if you’re working within a genre at all).
The six types of story endings include:
There you have it folks, and kind ask, I hope this helps anyone who is struggling with their story endings!
I AM NOT THE RESPONSABLE FOR THE PERSON I BECAME WHEN I SAW THIS!!!!!!!
you know ive hit quality blogging when i post a picture of 16 vicars riding oblivion
That’s what they said
I love how many of them are praying
man that one in the front right corner just does not give a fuck
And by looking at that picture, you can experience the roller coaster… vicariously.
even better than the one in the front right corner: the one in the front middle who’s like HELL YEAH HELL YEAH HELL YEAH
Wait but there are more!
Now this is the sort of quality religious content I want to see on my dashboard
SEEMS LIKE A HELL OF A RIDE
HOLY WATER SLIDE
The spiritual successor to Miette
Might I also add
May i add the piece from artist Verbal Vomit
Glad to see we’re all in agreement that cats talk like disparaged victorian children
I am so incredibly glad we finally moved on from "i can has". Cats are clearly smart enough for advanced sentence structure and dumb enough to draw entirely incorrect conclusions about what they're talking about.
My cat, banging the cabnet door over and over and over: bang bang bang
Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.
My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang
Me: ksst!
My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!
Me: ok
My cat, after waiting about 3 minutes: bang bang bang
Can haz snackytreat
world heritage post
And now with!
Notice how Shan Yu doesn’t even question it or make a comment about “BUT YOU’RE A GIRL” he just instantly goes into a “I’LL TEACH YOU TO KILL MY MEN AND STEAL MY VICTORY” rage and I think about this a lot sometimes
((Well that might have to do with the fact that he’s a Hun. Women among the Huns had higher status than their Chinese counterparts and even some of their own men. Women were free to hunt and fight along side of the men, could choose their own husbands and divorce him if she choose to. There were even records of clans being led by women leaders. So for Shan Yu Mulan is just another soldier))
thank you, history side of tumblr.
He also might not have been able to see very well, due to whatever horrible disease has taken hold in his eyeballs.
Pretty serious Wilson’s Disease judging by the copper buildup in in irises, and apparent melanocytosis localized to his sclera.
Thank you medical side of tumblr
I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER
It’s always mandatory to reblog this whenever it appears
“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW
THIS IS A TRUMPET
THIS IS A TROMBONE
THIS IS A TUBA
AND THIS IS A FRENCH HORN
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
You mean trumpet
Slidey Trumpet
Big ass trumpet
Drunk Trumpet
I’M GONNA PUNCH YOU
My sides
AT LEAST YOUR INSTRUMENTS LOOK DIFFERENT
those are some fancy guitars
EXCUSE YOU THAT IS A BASS, A VIOLIN, A FIDDLE, AND A VIOLA
Those are big mama violin and her little violings
String trumpets.
THATS NOT A BASS YOU DICK THATS A CELLO GET UR FUCKIN STRING INSTRUMENTS RIGHT JFC
things heating up in the orchestra fandom
I know what a trumpet is I play one
Time to reblog this and give my friends a stroke
Being a past trumpet player and now a French horn this post makes me very angery
I tap keys
But hey what about
Wow… Those are really strange trumpets, where did you get them from?
What about this six-string viola I found?
acoustic trumpet
Violins is never the solution
my favourite instrument is this weird fiddle
oh look its gotten worse since I last seen it
Those are all some pretty weird saxophones
Don’t bring sax into it, there are children on this site. Sax and violins, that’s all y’all ever want to talk about on this site.
That sounds about right for Mythbusters.
- Blendo was put together before Mythbusters was a thing - Blendo was so strong and dangerous (for throwing debris into the audience) that The Boys were asked to withdraw it in exchange for a co champion title - they re-entered Blendo years later when the protective wall was much higher. It was once again asked to be withdrawn for a co champion title for the same reason. - copy cat Blendos started appearing and would tear each other apart - Blendo is in the robot hall of fame - Blendo is too strong and powerful
Blendo cannot be stopped.
bonus fact: grant imahara also had a competitive robot named deadblow that would just fucking. hammer the shit out of other robots
fun fact shared by Adam Savage:
NSync was touring the ILM workshop (during the making of the Star Wars prequels). The model makers were used to big name visitors and had been told not to interact with the guests.
NSync (without Timberlake at the time) were admiring the models when suddenly they shouted “DEADBLOW!!” when they saw the robot in the workshop, and then they saw Grant, and proceeded to lose their collective minds. They were all fans of Battlebots and took pics with him.
NSync, one of the biggest boybands of the 90s, fanboyed over Grant Imahara.

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.
reblog for that last bit to save a life
If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.
You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!
That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.
Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?
Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.

This is so wholesome
Update: he finally got the cat to the vet to see if she had a microchip
I was already on board with his sweet wholesome open-to-love-and-nurturing heart but I was fully unprepared for getting to that last tweet and seeing how off the hook HOT dude is
CAT DAD IS BACK

HHHHHHHH I LOVE CAT DAD!
This is, by far, the single most adorable fucking thing I have ever seen.

I love that he kept …. All of them.
I’ve reblogged the earlier part of this thread before, and the new stuff makes it even better.
This is the Tumblr equivalent of a warm hug on a cold day.

My friends who just got their first glasses: i need this highly expensive special cloth to wipe them, I also have this eyeglass cleaner from the same company, did you know you shouldn't use your t shirt unless it's specifically soft
Me who's worn glasses since middle school: *slaps soap onto the glasses and washes them in the sink then wipes them with toilet paper* what
Did I stutter
No
Mah men
