APRIL FOOLS! IT WAS A KITTY INSTEAD!!
Hope everyone has a scare-free April Fools day! ^^
#Uhhh - Yoshi are friendly, happy-go-lucky dinosaurs… until puberty sets in. Eventually that cute little green steed has to grow up, and manifest into his own father. Watching Yoshi mature, you can really see the hopes and dreams draining from his eyes. It’s time to pull off that silly saddle (..or is really a shell? Not even Yobby knows for sure) because he’s not about that transportation life anymore. Get out of here Mario! This older Yoshi can be a bit unpredictable, and tends to stand juust out of sight, watching. Just watching. They won’t eat if they’re being observed, as if guarding some secret. Those who witness the act become unable to discuss it.
Named: Yoshi - Mid-life Crisis?? - Yobby
This April Fool’s Day addition is featuring art by @iguanamouth, as well as their famous creation, Yoshi’s dad Yobby. If you haven’t checked out Iguanamouth’s fantastic art… what are you even still doing here??

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’m not happy just being a writer so I’ve made an ASMR YouTube channel Because I heard it’s popular and I want to pay my student loans. That will lead me to true happiness.
Subbed. Your content is 👌👌👌

today is the only day you can reblog this ever
its a fact of life that if you handle any money whatsoever you will sooner or later end up with a canadian penny in place of an american one, but ive only ever lived in ma/ny, and i suddenly desperately need to know if canadian money shows up in the rest of the country too or if its a northern thing. like presumably if canadian pennies can make it to boston they can make it to houston but like DO they
maryland is TECHNICALLY the south since our pa border is the mason-dixon and when i worked at radioshack the entire time i was there we had a canadian penny in the till
arizona here but yeah i think we have 2 in the register at work (snowbirds though ya know)
additional data points. excellent.
Utah here and can confirm Canadian pennies. We get a lot of tourists between the ski resorts and the national parks and seeing Canadian license plates is not unusual
Access denied: wheelchair metro maps versus everyone else's
I don’t do very many reblogs on here, but this is very important—each inaccessible station reduces the number of possible trips on the network at factorial rates, and the earlier maps do a good job of illustrating that even if a decently large fraction of stations is accessible, the fraction of trips that can be made with full access is much smaller.
ATTENTION ALL OF TUMBLR!
THIS IS AN URGENT MESSAGE.
IN 2014, IN SCHAUMBURG , ILLINOIS, USA
THERE
WILL
BE
A
TUMBLR CONVENTION!!!
SIGNAL BOOST THIS GUYS
I WANNA SEE EVERYONE THERE!!
this post eminates incredibly demonic energy
This is like finding a stray journal page in a ruined city that talks of some grand festival and the date of the entry is the day before the city was destroyed
For only the second time, astronomers have picked up a mysterious repeating signal coming from an unknown source in space.
They’re called fast radio bursts. And in less than the blink of an eye, they ping into the data collected by radio telescopes out of nowhere, with as much energy as a hundred million Suns.
Most of them only burst once, never to be heard from again. We don’t know what they are. We can’t track the vast majority.
Only one of these elusive signals had ever been caught repeating, and it was a very big deal, allowing astronomers to trace it to its source for the first time ever - offering a tantalising line to the phenomenon that causes it.
Now, astronomers have found a second.
“Until now, there was only one known repeating FRB,“ said astrophysicist Ingrid Stairs of the University of British Columbia in Canada.
“Knowing that there is another suggests that there could be more out there. And with more repeaters and more sources available for study, we may be able to understand these cosmic puzzles - where they’re from and what causes them.”
It’s called FRB 180814.J0422+73, and in the space of three weeks beginning in August 2018, it flared six times in repetition, as captured by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope. Further bursts were detected in the following weeks.
In total, CHIME detected 13 new bursts, including the repeating signals.
What makes this even cooler is that these were just test observations for the telescope - it wasn’t even operating at full capacity.
The previous repeater, FRB 121102, is famous for its peculiar repetitions.
Because it bursts again and again - with periods of what seem like quiescence in between - astronomers have been able to catch it in the act, and trace it to its source, a galaxy about 3 billion light-years away. And, because the signal has been polarised, or twisted, we know that it passed through an intense magnetic field.
But that’s more or less the limit of our knowledge of FRB 121102. We still don’t know what causes it, or any of the non-repeating fast radio bursts.
We also don’t know what caused FRB 180814.J0422+73, but two things are worth noting.
First, that CHIME is a remarkable piece of equipment that will hopefully do for Northern hemisphere FRB searches what the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder in Australia did for the Southern hemisphere.
The second is that building a database of these events - and especially repeaters, which can be traced to their home galaxies - will help construct statistics that will narrow down the conditions from which FRBs originate.
