Within 48 hours, the four human study participants showed remarkable results: their immune systems went into turbo cancer-destroying mode. And without surgery, radiation, or dangerous chemotherapy.

Folks, we may have a cure for cancer within your lifetime.

May it perform as (so far) advertised.

Holy shit. This would be incredible.

Without looking it up, when you first hear "Tornado Warning", what does that mean to you?

I have met. so many people in real life who do not know what "Tornado Watch" means, who do not know what "Tornado Warning" means.

literally 9 out of 10 (aka 90%) of people I meet think that "Tornado Watch" is the more dangerous alert, and think "Tornado Warning" is less severe.

Most people I meet who hear 'Tornado Warning' think it's a good idea to go outside and look at the cool clouds.

FEMA or whoever needs to officially change these stupid-ass names, or do one HELL of a public awareness campaign, because this can and will get people killed; there's already been multiple deadly tornadoes just this week.

Tornado Watch: Watch out, and be cautious! -- Keep an ear out for alerts, and make sure you know where you need to take shelter! A tornado could possibly form in this storm, and you need to be ready.

Tornado Warning = Warning! A Tornado is currently forming or is already formed! -- Take shelter immediately on the lowest floor of your home away from windows!

I literally have this image printed out on my bulletin board at work (my staff and I do a lot of work outdoors) :

Okay, this graphic is genuinely genius because it is so funny, more people need to see this lol.

also, even though this rarely happens, if you get an alert that says Tornado Emergency, that means you need to get underground or in your shelter immediately. Do not wait. Not doing so could get you killed.

i live in a place where nobody takes Watch or Warning very seriously, because tornadoes happen more where i live than anywhere else in the world. but as soon as the weather service declares an Emergency, everyone packs it up and gets their ass to the shelter.

Hey you know that really disturbing thing where you yawn and your salivary gland shoots a concentrated spray of saliva out of one of its horrid nozzles like you’re a venom spitting snake for some godawful reason

this is the most distressing post ive ever read because not only have i never once seen or even heard of this but there are dozens of people in the notes reaffirming it with shit like “yeah i do that all the time” “i had a friend who could do this on command” what the real, genuine fucking fuck

you gotta open your mouth reallly wide before you yawn and then yawn

you gotta open

your mouth reallly wide before

you yawn and then yawn

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Oh yeah, this! It has a name, did you know? “Gleeking.” The web page at Health.com explains it in detail, and gives directions for how to do it.*

Interestingly, the word also has other meanings, dating back to the 1500s. It was both a card game, and a joke, trick, gibe or mockery performed at another’s expense. I blame E. R. Eddison for making me look this up, long ages of the world ago, when somewhere in The Worm Ouroboros he describes two characters spoiling for fight as “galling and gleeking” at one another.

…Unfortunately the OED sheds no light on how the word later got itself attached to the salivary exploit. A tiny mystery for another day.

*If you must. Don’t expect me to judge. :)

I did training on how to deal with classified information back in 2007 and this joke was in the official federal government training course.

These are all the secrets that gays trust me with.

My friend reminded me of one of my favorite images on the internet ever

The fact that Everything Everywhere All at Once has the main character see that if she hadn’t gone to America with the man that would be her husband she would’ve lived a glamorous life of fame and fortune and her husband would’ve gone off and gotten very rich on his own rather than living together in an apartment over a laundromat struggling with finances every day and where so many movies would’ve framed that choice to go off together as a mistake, shown their alternative lives as some sort of “see? It wasn’t worth it” and had them “escape” to that “better” universe in the end, it instead all culminates in the line “Just so you know, in another life, I would’ve been really glad to just do laundry and taxes with you” changed my wholeass life

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

TONIGHT. WE’RE DRINKING FROM THE POND.

where did op go?

May the fourth be with you.

and also some money

agatha agate has a little spot on the top of her head where her fur is white and it’s very thin and the pink of her skin is a little bit visible all the time. turns out she can get sunburnt there

so now she has this stupid hat.

update

that photo of springsteen on the merry go round is bringing me so much joy it evokes the sort of feeling i've only ever experienced while looking at the photo of leonard cohen buying cheetos
