I am absolutely obsessed with these things

Can we go ahead and stop teaching corvids how to use tools, it's getting spooky

he was sooooo pissed this dipshit was getting those blocks stuck in the pipe

we have already. They don't know exactly what is up with it, other than the sweat being slightly more acidic than normal and the acidic mantle being thicker and Way more acidic than normal, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with acidosis. As far as we have tested, our family has had this since at least my great grandpa, and the guy lived to be 93 years old.

What the fuck.

op is a xenomorph descendant from that one time ripley fucked the queen

Because in its younger days it used to have RGB lights:

Some of them still work, when they want:

Though I've long forgotten how to change the color settings

NEVERMIND I JUST REMEMBERED HOW

Imagine trying to claim op is wasteful for using a plastic keyboard after they show off something that looks like it belongs at Old Friends Senior Keyboard Sanctuary.

Day 17 - Strange

For those of you who haven't viewed "What's Opera, Doc" recently...

Here's a good clean transfer of a great classic that never stales.

Image and text description: GIFs showing part of Norman Finkelstein’s 2015 speech to the UCD Philosophy Society, University College Dublin, about Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

End Description.

[text: Oh rascal children of Gaza.

You who constantly disturbed me

with your screams under my window.

You who filled every morning

with rush and chaos.

You who broke my vase

and stole the lonely flower on my balcony.

Come back,

and scream as you want

and break all the vases.

Steal all the flowers.

Come back.

Just come back… /end text]

Had a dream that tumblr came up with a new creature called Greachur and it looked like this

brother of the alot

upon further research:

i had a dream a while ago of a very tall, long-legged creature with a thin, grey fur coat. it didn't have any horns and it was like double the height of a semi, but this post reminded me of that

like this?

Posts from a split second in the future

Drew the things

300000000% what it feels like walking around with my sibling

thinking about how the world would be better if more people understood the differences between 'the author failed to tell the story they wanted to tell' and 'the author told the story they wanted to tell, but they told it badly' and 'the author told the story they wanted to, and they told it well, but it wasn't the story I wanted to read'

This always bothers me. Para-SELL-sus was a smart dude but ain't how Classical Latin works, my man.

Good thing classical Latin hadn’t been spoken in over a millennia before Paracelsus was born and reconstructed classical Latin wouldn’t exist until centuries after he died.

My suffering is endless...

Where's that Tumblr post about not being able to post anything without some unemployed autistic savant crawling out of the woodwork to take your ass to school with citations

More cursed chemistry! Check out this spicy boi:

This is chlorine trifluoride, one of the most reactive, corrosive substances known. This stuff will light asbestos on fire, as well as sand, glass, many metals, and oh, it will also ignite water. Basically if you start a fire with this stuff, your only option is to let it burn out, because anything you put on it will just burn up itself (though if it’s in an enclosed space you can flood the space with like argon or whatever). Apparently a spill of almost a ton of this stuff burned its way through a foot of concrete and 3 feet of gravel before it stopped.

This is when I get to introduce everyone to some of my favourite science writing ever: Things I Won't Work With by Biochemist Ph.D. Derek Lowe, featured on Science dot org.

Sand Won't Save You This Time

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane

Peroxide Peroxides

and many others.

I saw someone reblog this dismissing it as AI despite the fact they're 1 click away from a search engine. "Rosetta Nebula" is all you'd have to type. Perhaps the biggest travesty with ai images is going to be robbing people of their wonder for what's actually possible in the universe and continuing to shrink their bubble of understanding based on whether they believe it at a glance.

The image has been colorized differently above but the Rosetta Nebula is real and actually looks like that.

In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. Source.

For some reason “Respiratory system: He does alright” is sending me.

The amount of times I could have been that white girl in the horror movie could honestly be a movie in itself and it’s honestly a waste that my entire life isn’t constantly recorded on film because it would be HILARIOUS

1. That one time I decided to see what was past the old gate in the woods, but when got there it had been smashed in half and there was a decapitated sheep head with no skin just off the trail, so instead I just turned around and went home.

2. That time some friends and I went camping and we found a pile of bones wrapped in a garbage bag buried under a log, but the adult supervisor told us it was nothing, so we just put it back and didn’t talk about it again.

3. The time I was getting chased through the woods at night and I realized “wait it’s dark as fuck” so I just held still until the guy gave up and left.

4. The time this dude said he was in love with me and so he was going to cut my head off and dump my body in a lake, so I told him to grow the hell up, but then he got caught stealing girl’s underwear a day later and I never saw him again

5. That one time in college where I was taking a shortcut on my home at night and a car followed me into a dark alley, so I stared directly into the driver’s side of the window and walked towards it to psych them out

6. The night I was out on a walk and this old guy told me he’d locked his keys in his truck and that he needed someone my size to crawl in through the back window for him, so I told him “you know that sounds super suspicious right” and told him where to find a pay phone for a tow truck instead

7. The one time this random guy on the street said he was in love with me and so he was going to follow me home on my bus, so I clapped him on the shoulder and told him that if he got that close to my bus then I was going to throw him under the wheels, but then this really nice homeless man from Nigeria told the guy to fuck off and then checked to make sure he didn’t follow me onboard

8. That big cat with yellow eyes who I found in a well and brought home who used to put rotting meat in my closet and wake me up by chewing on my face, until I put him back outside and never saw him again.

9. My one cousin who used to come over for the summer who kept calling me ‘piñata’ and hitting me with sticks, until he went back home and was sent to juvie cause he finally got caught torturing animals

10. The time I got lost on the way to a meeting and wound up at a circus tent instead, and got followed by a full-out clown for three vacant street blocks

11. The pet hamster I had when I was seven who would scream all night and eventually escaped by ripping a bar out of its cage and wiggling through the hole. My mom caught it and put it back but it lived another year and a half until one night the screaming just stopped

12. The time I was whistling in the woods and something started whistling back, so I went home

13. That one night at summer camp where a group of girls got together to play ‘bloody mary’ in the lavatory and invited me to come with them so I said “no thanks” and stayed with the camp councillors and drank soup instead.

14. The old abandoned house I just moved into with the door that leads into a big empty room full of dirt and empty cooking pots that I just sort of… locked up forever and never go near

15. Once when I was at an ihop I saw a coffee mug do a full 360º spin with nobody touching it, so I said ‘that was neat’ and never ate there again

16. The time I took a photo of a big old raven sitting on the crucifix on top of the old town church cause it was the most goth thing I’d ever seen, right? But then it swooped down towards me, so I apologized immediately for being rude, and I felt a little silly for a while but the car that hit me on the way home didn’t even leave a bruise so idk be nice to birds

Sorry I know I bring this shit up a lot but sometimes im awake at night and I just. keep thinking

YO REBLOGGING TO ADD THE PICTURE FROM #16 CAUSE I FOUND ITT

ANOTHER (#8)
