"Why did you include humans" because we are part of the ecosystem :)

"Ew why would you vote for humans!!!" many cultures worldwide have built their society on being caretakers of the ecosystem, and lived sustainably for thousands of years, and humans from all cultures every day fight to protect and care for other life forms

"Where's the fungi" only had 12 options so they're kind of a package deal with the plants

"Where's the dirt" we can just assume there is dirt there if there is plants

"Where's the bacteria" bacteria is everywhere what do you want from me

we're doing great, that predators to herbivores ratio is a little worrying though

people are way too comfortable being dismissive of children and teenagers. if a toddler comes up to you and starts explaining skibidi toilet lore or if a 13 year old asks you if you want to hear about their mha ocs you have to listen with utmost sincerity or at least pretend to. this is the only way you will get into heaven.

genuinely depressing how people will dismiss the interests kids have because all it does is make them retreat into shame and never want to talk to you about anything again

this is genuinely one of my favorite things to do. every so often my brother infodumps me LoL lore, talks about football team histories, tells me his gaming and shows me the memes i missed because we usually hang out in different parts of the internet (this week the meme was “you are my sunshine” lebron one). my 12 yo cousin enjoys talking about her fave music bands, her paintings, her crafts and random ocs. our youngest cupcake neighbor (just turned 4!) randomly comes up and shows me the rocks he found and the shapes of clouds. often what people say mean nothing to me, but the people themselves mean everything. every single time i listen i feel my heart expanding with love and feel as if i am rewinding time, talking to the young curious me, just looking for someone who listens with care. i hope i’ll be a good audience to kids and teens and everyone who wants to share their interests for a long long time

“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“

LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy

i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation!

Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.

Happy 618th anniversary of the day King Taejong fell from his horse!

Apparently the recorders were really intense about this. We have a record of King Taejong complaining about a recorder who followed him on a hunt in disguise and another who eavesdropped on him behind a screen. No one was allowed to see the records, even the king (one king did and killed five men based on what was written there, after which they took greater care to ensure it would never happen again), and changing the content or disclosing it was a capital punishment. Even when there were rival political factions trying to influence the writers, they wrote down what was a revision and what wasn’t and kept an original version with no revisions in it.

They also made sure to back up their data. They made four copies of it, then when three copies were lost in the Imrim Wars they decided to make five more copies just in case. One copy was destroyed in a rebellion, another was partially damaged in an invasion, and Japan stole one copy during their occupation and moved it to Tokyo University, where it was mostly destroyed in the Kanto Earthquake (47 books remained and were returned to South Korea in 2006). Now the whole thing is digitized, free on the internet, and translated into modern Korean for all to see.

It took centuries of meticulous recorders, justifiably paranoid copiers, absolutely determined historians, and painstaking infrastructure for this joke to be possible. Happy 618th anniversary to the day King Taejong fell from his horse.

Happy 619th anniversary to the day King Taejong fell from his horse!
