Man eating rice, China, 1901-1904

this is an extremely important picture

Ive never seen someone from 1904 having fun omg

He has a nice face

No but the history behind this picture is really interesting

The reason that everyone always looked miserable in old photos wasn’t that they took too long to take. Once photography became widespread it took only seconds to take a picture.

It was because getting your photo taken was treated the same as getting your portrait painted. A very serious occasion meant so thst your descendants would know that ypu existed and what you looked like.

But one time some British dudes went to china to go on an anthropological expedition, and they met some rural Chinese farmers and decided to take their pictures. Now, these people weren’t exposed to the weird culture of the time around getting your photo taken, so this guy just flashed a big grin during the photo because he was told to strike a pose and that’s the pose he wanted to strike.

I think painted portraits and old photos give us the idea that in general people were just really unhappy because those are the visuals we have. This is so refreshing.

Hey, look; “Man Laughing Alone With Rice” is back on my dash.

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

not even risking that shit

scrolled past this, re-evaluated my life, then SCROOOLLLED back up and hit the damn reblog button. 

Nope. I know better, have your reblog Madame Zeroni.

who the fuck is Madame Zeroni

Look at these stupid children who don’t know who Madame Zeroni is

Man lissen if you don’t know you better ask somebody AFTER you hit the reblog button

Idk who she is but I have an exam today so I’ll reblog her

idk who she is but i have an exam today so i’ll reblog her

^Haiku^bot^0.4. Sometimes I do stupid things (but I have improved with syllables!). Beep-boop!

Because wise, I am.

Oh fucks no she’s back lmao must reblog. I’m sorry guys

Sorry, I gotta. Feel free to block this post, I always tag it “curse post” and “madame zeroni” if your anxiety acts up in regards to posts like this.

while I am not down with Love Potion #9 perpetuating a negative and harmful Romani stereotype, I am totes good with the always reblog Eartha Kitt because Eartha Kitt, so Eartha Kitt you guys.

Madame Zeroni is from Holes. Which may also perpetuate stereotypes, I can’t remember, it’s been ages since I saw it. (I mostly remember Sam, because Dulé Hill.)

I don’t believe Madam Zeroni is explicitly Romani, although she does embody some of those tropes - but a lot of that flavor comes from the whole eastern European (Latvian) setting. She also uses yiddishisms, so who knows. But my recollection is that she’s not any kind of an outsider - she’s another inhabitant of the village, alongside the Yelnatses and the Menkes, and the curse is more of a …cosmic imbalance than anything else. And notably not the only curse in the narrative. Kate’s curse is far more devastating - but then, the wrong done her is also far more profound. She’s not remotely mystically coded, but her wrath and grief stops the rain itself for a hundred years

…I frickin love Holes. And also Eartha Kitt

i’m not risking it, sorry you guys!

She’s back again. Gotta reblog. Sorry.

Done and done.

(Not pictured: “Butt window”, but trust me, it’s there.)

You have no idea how much this cheered me up just now.

I for one, think this is a major improvement. Look how empowered he is! And it’s relevant to the character as someone who is powered by the sun, he’d want to maximize the amount of sunlight he receives, right? It’s not like it makes sense for him to cover himself from chin to toe. In fact, I think some strappy sandals might be an improvement.

strappy high heeled sandals would increase his height making him closer to the sun. and if wonderwoman can fight in heels it can’t be that hard, right?

SO EMPOWERING

Felt a dire need to contribute to the hilarity.

Now I can tell right away he’s a strong male character. Whew! No more confusion.

+1 for him doing the boobs and butt pose too.

glad you covered up his arms though, can’t have him looking too bare.

What an Empowered Male Character!! I feel so inspired!!

so let me get this straight:

y’all bleed outta your vaginas

once a month, your panties look like a fucking murder scene

you are basically giVING BIRTH TO THE FUCKING LINING OF ONE OF YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS

and yet you just go about your daily business like

people with vaginas are fucking badass.

people with vaginas  what are they called again?

They’re called people with vaginas because not everyone with a vagina is a woman.

whoop there it is

jesus fuck

a Yankee attempts to pronounce Southern contractions

I’m from New Jersey and all of these but y’a’int are in my daily vocabulary so I think this is just you.

That’s fair. I’m less a Yankee than some kind of Bigfoot.

as a person from southern US I can honestly say

stop

thats not

no

i was cringing the entire time

record how YOU would say it, then

K I did it

@poor-boy-orpheus I took your suggestions to heart and tried to use them in a sentence. What do you think? 

I am a proud father

Thank you for supporting me in these trying times. Here, let us enjoy some bona fide Southern Sweet Tea in celebration.

One of my least favorite shots in the entire Harry Potter franchise is the one where Voldemort is leaning over Dumbledore’s corpse to take the Elder wand.

I hate it so much. What is the rest of his body doing? It’s implied that he’s planking ominously in the air. Some people might say ‘oh this is homoerotic’ but PLANKING OMINOUSLY IN THE AIR is both unsexy and too ridiculous to be properly evil. I hate this shot and I hate that it was echoed in The Dark Tower movie with Walter and Roland.

i have some more suggestions

I can’t stop laughing

I showed this post to my boyfriend and he tried to take his shirt off like a girl and 

uh

yeah

Out of the 82k notes my post got this is by far the best comment holy shit thank u for being u

So i tried it both ways and uh

i mean how do you do the first one without pulling out all your hair?

this made me laugh really hard….

and it made me realize that girls and boys pull their shirt off differently. /amazed

but seriously I think girls just do the cross arm thing because of HAIR like demonstrated 

So one year, one URL change, and a hair cut later, I decide to try again… FOR SCIENCE! 

Its not science unless you write it down so 

First method:

Well done, i guess…

Second:

I fucked up

Girls… how?

I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING OFF SHIRTS AND SO MUCH DIFFICULTY DOING IT THE OTHER WAY

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.

Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.

Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.

but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.

and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.

It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely to do with how our shirts are made. I figured it out for you. YOU’RE WELCOME!

bless you

look what is back on my dash. Jesus.

This came back but with ACTUAL SCIENCE you are the saviour of our generation

I have no words

I usually just pull my arms into the shirt and pull it over

1.  If you were wondering, you can type the numbers in the works cited into google and they appear to be medical journal articles about using medical imaging to detect and diagnose a rare form of Gastritis.

2. Please enjoy the offical powerpoint presentation of this paper at an academic conference by the original author, complete with Q&A:

THIS IS GOLD

When I saw this cross my dash tonight, I smiled and thought “yess, the chicken chicken chicken post, I get to reblog it again and inflict it on all of the people that have followed me since last time”, and then I scrolled down more and to my utter delight there was A VIDEO, needless to say my night has been made
