Cool Tip

If you are like me and always need to be working on something to keep your anxiety under control, during this quarentine why not helping scientists by looking at pictures of some neat penguins? or even galaxies?  There’s this site call Zooniverse, where you can help on scientific projects by analyzing pictures and data!  Right now my favorite project has returned, called Penguin Watch (where yeah, you get to watch penguins, it’s amazing)

you basically have to analyse photos looking for penguins, their chicks, eggs or even predators and human interaction But there are lots of interesting projects you can help in areas such as biology, physics, history or even art: 

Oh and the best part, some institutions even accept it as volunteering/service hour requirements for graduation and scholarships!! It’s helping me a lot during this time, so I thought it was worth sharing 

Zooniverse is awesome. They have a relatively new project classifying and transcribing recordings of vintage Cuban radio around the revolution.

Another project is about the fan and hate mail sent to Orson Welles after the broadcast of War of the Worlds.

Another project is rescuing data from handwritten records from a Scottish weather station.

c!Dream didnt "step into the villain role", he was already playing an antagonist

And Jack Manifold's entrance into the server proves it!

(PLEASE READ THIS PLEASE IT TOOK HOURS GOD PLEASE AT ONE POINT ALL THE IMAGES AND LINKS DISAPPEARED THAT I SPENT LIKE AN HOUR PUTTING IN THERE AND I NEARLY CRIED AND HAD TO REDO IT)

As someone who's watched all of season 1, from streams messing around, to semi-lore, to lore streams... its actually quite painful to watch the narrative in the fandom be completely rewritten as "Dream was good before L'Manberg villainised him, and he stepped into a villain role that was placed on him"

Early DSMP c!Dream: He already had this idea of the server being a "utopia" (his words), but enjoyed chaos Just as much. He had little moments like fixing Tommy n Tubbo's houses or whatever but the chaos he was involved in way overshadowed that. He hunted down, killed and burned all George's items because he was too powerful with diamond armor and tools while the rest of them had iron - This was Pre-Tommy, Pre-L'Manberg (I know he wasnt playing a character here but this is who c!Dream Used to be canonically so like...)

why use your powers for good when instead u can tempt fic writers with art in exchange for more fic

This will work at least 110% of the time.

the reverse is also true. write fanfic for an artist and theyll draw more art at lightspeed

The corrosion on this water tap looks like a map

This spectrum of eggs from my mom’s chickens.

The chain of Starburst wrappers I’ve been building for three years

My friend’s smoked cauliflower looks like an explosion.

I took a photograph at the exact same time this photographer took hers - and caught her flash lightning the scene.

Fan looks like it’s missing a blade

My friend’s cat was recently put down, and the vet gave him this paw print of his cat that is full of flower seeds to be planted

This half dollar cut out by hand

The apple’s skin I cut looks like from a low-poly game

My friends bathroom is also the entrance to his basement

These horses have tail lights

This airport has free arcade games to help pass the time

My roommate painted ornaments of everyone in our house.

Photo I took of a lake through the lense of binoculars looks like a planet.

The snow/ice in this pic looks like the ocean

This can of paint looks like a cat.

This tiny plant growing in my car window

The pole in this picture makes it look like two different pictures.

The way this dead cactus decomposed, leaving only the spines behind

My mom found a baby owl on the porch behind the firewood

This moss covered boot found in the woods.

My school’s library has noise-level guides that change colour when it gets too loud

The way this snow stayed in place when the trunk was opened/closed

“boy im dumb as shit” is just rephrased Socrates’s “I know that I know nothing“ so whats the truth

Not having a theory is a theory.

The really hilarious part is that the busted Yeti is even worse than this description makes it sound.

TL/DR version: the structural layout of the Expedition Everest attraction is so complicated that Disney had to use a technique called “previsualisaton” to construct it - essentially a four-dimensional blueprint that specifies not only how the structure should be put together, but the exact point in time that each step should occur. That precision in timing is actually kinda critical, because if certain parts of the structure are subject to stress too early (e.g., before the concrete is fully cured, before additional supports have been installed, etc.), they’ll be permanently weakened.

Well, long story short, when the ride went into action, Disney’s engineers quickly discovered that the numbers weren’t adding up: the internal stresses the ride was producing every time they turned the animatronic yeti on were literally tearing the whole mountain apart. It’s clear that something got screwed up during construction: either somebody performed a step with the wrong timing, or in the wrong order, or the previsualisaton was messed up to begin with. The trick is, they have no idea what the actual error was - and the ride can’t be repaired until they figure out what went wrong in the first place.

So now they just point a moving strobe light at the motionless yeti to create the illusion of motion, which is why it’s been nicknamed the “disco yeti”.

When companies have too much money and need to chill

here’s an example of what the yeti looked like when it actually worked.

yo uhhhh thats fucking terrifying

THE YETI IS AMAZING and I so badly wish I could have seen it action. (Disco Yeti is my friend tho)

But this is a very important point.

The yeti is not broken.

The yeti works perfectly. But due to some calculation error

They can’t turn the yeti ON or else he’ll tear down the mountain.

So now their biggest and most impressive animatronic ever gets strobe lights flashed at it so your eye is tricked into thinking it moves.

Disco Yeti my beloved <3

constant

hey OP could we get individual gifs pls <3

here u go !

Thank you 🥺
