Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.
this got 1k notes in 4 hours are y'all ok
this got 5k notes in 6 hours are y'all ok
Why am I pretty much all of these?
Because neither of us is at all okay but we keep going regardless?
there is no 'base accent' so like all of this is entirely subjective tbc, just based on what people around you say and how you think you sound
pick whichever language you want to answer in if you're multi-lingual
Mostly I have a bit of a nasal tone and slur a bit.

reblogging from myself bc i found this when scrolling through my blog
Reblogging again because this is too god for not reblog
this is one of the few posts you have to reblog or else you’ll never see it in a million years besides screenshots
Explain your reasoning plzzz
A structured settlement is generally better for everyone in the long run.
No. Mine. You can not has.
hang on, hang on, I gotta go cry. This is too sweet, too wonderful

aren't gorillas gentle giants or something. i stay out of his way, he doesn't maul me, we have a nice time picking out clothes together in opposite sides of the mall
Male gorillas are super aggressive and territorial. Also they interpret nearly every human mannerism as a sign of aggression or a challenge. Smiling and eye contact are both things that zookeepers have to be taught to suppress when they’re in the vicinity of gorillas.
Well unless the mall is his native territory I think I'm fine, I wasn't planning on smiling at him
This is all irrelevant because the obvious answer is five black mambas. I mean, that’s not actually very many snakes, and malls are fucking huge. And unlike a gorilla you can definitely outrun a snake if it does show up. Find an open space in the mall where you can see any snake coming and just hangout out there. Fucking easy.
Misguided! I would much rather have a mallmate I can easily see and hear coming. I'm confident I can stay out of the gorilla's way, but if I step on a snake or one otherwise gets the jump on me, it's all over.
It's not just about the physical danger either, it's about my mental health. One gorilla, unless he's actively mad at me, I just keep a healthy distance between us and make sure I never get trapped. With the snakes, it requires a lot more constant vigilance
They should substitute "chimpanzee" for "gorilla" in this hypothetical.
if it was a chimp i'm taking the fucking snakes
Black mambas have a reputation build on being very venomous and very fast. I'm not sure why you would think you could outrun one (or five) in an enclosed space like a mall.
Malls usually have pretty slick floors, and escalators. I’d choose the gorilla simply because I think that would make an more interesting story (and a better-selling autobiography, I Survived the Mall Gorilla) but I think I’d stand a pretty good chance at avoiding the mamba. They’re fast and aggressive and will chase you but unless we started immediately beside each other I think my sneakers would have the terrain advantage over scutes.
this is too good to leave hidden in the replies
fucking enamored with the implication that this gorilla is fully intelligent but is trying to manufacture plausible deniability like the movie barnyard
I'm just enjoying this being a debatable topic. Both sides are arguing well.
When playing Harvest Moon: 64, did you ever feel like you might be learning something? You were right. The examples below shows a handful of lines that contain an educational element for nutrition, and they occur at the Vegetable Festival.
The question is: are these actual facts?
Ann: Carrots are full of nutrients. Carotene, B, B1, C, Iron and Calcium! A real energizer!
Are carrots full of nutrients? Yes, most definitely. Carrots have Vitamin C (6%), Iron (1%), and Calcium (2%). Ann doesn’t mention they contain several other Vitamin B nutrients, such as Vitamin B-6 (5%). Carotene, the first nutrient she listed, is actually beta carotene, which the human body transforms into Vitamin A. All of these, especially the B Vitamins, are excellent for energy.
Maria: Cabbage has lots of vitamins, including vitamin U, which they say is good for ulcers.
At first glance, Maria’s Vitamin U made me wonder if it actually existed. Unfortunately, Vitamin U isn’t well-recognized in the nutrition community and has failed to make it to the true vitamin list, so it falls to the wayside of obscure vitamins. There’s a few academic studies regarding this vitamin and its effects when eaten in raw form. It does help promote healing with peptic ulcers, apparently. Leave it to Maria to find the obscure nutrition facts.
Elli: The amount of vitamins in a vegetable varies depending on how you cook them.
Does cooking really affect the amount of vitamins in vegetables? The answer is yes. In fact, you can lose nutrients in vegetables when you’re doing something as simple as cutting and washing them. Vitamin B and C are lost in preparation that involves soaking or boiling, as the nutrients are leached out into the surrounding water. It’s advised to cook vegetables in the least amount of water possible to retain their nutritional effects. This is probably why in the Japanese version of Harvest Moon: 64, Elli advises you to stir-fry your vegetables, because they retain more nutrients that way.
Karen: Tomatoes taste great and are nutritious. They say Vitamin M promotes blood formation.
What is Vitamin M? Well, the reason you probably haven’t heard of it is because it’s evolved in the past few years into Folic Acid/Folate (technically vitamin B9), both terms that are more frequently used. Tomatoes are full of naturally occurring folate, so Karen is right- even if her verbiage is outdated.
Popuri: They say eggplants cool down the body and lower blood pressure. Elli knows all about those kinds of things.
For years, eggplants have been rumored to lower blood pressure and there isn’t much research into the phenomenon. There have been studies however that show they contain nutrients that act similarly to blood pressure medications.
In conclusion, while you were playing Harvest Moon: 64 to satisfy your farming simulator cravings, it was simultaneously teaching you nutrition facts.

I presume the vampire has good security, solid decorating sense, and actually cares about the woman he's seducing. Plus that castle has been the anchor of a self-sustaining community since he was a living human.
Hey weird question but what happens if you put two reasonably likeable anthropologists of wildly different cultures together in the same room? Do they study each other? CAN they? Is it like an infinite conversational feedback loop? I'm imagining two dogs eternally sniffing each others butts at the park

Well, it's not that hard to develop a rudimentary sign language. And she was only mute for three days out of her whole life.
Also, it's normal in this case for both parties to perseverate about their interest until they've gone hoarse. Provide lots of fluids and bring your own entertainment, but also be ready to intervene when they find a point they disagree on.

top tier character-building device in pokemon games is when a seemingly antagonistic character has a golbat on their team and then later has it evolved into a crobat, which requires significant friendship, thus signalling that the character was always a kind person inside (plumeria), is growing past their issues and learning to be kinder (silver), may hold a spark of kindness that undermines their cold and calculating image (cyrus), etc etc
Meanwhile, Ghetsis—who is an antagonist who pretends to be an advocate for Pokemon rights—faces off against you with an under-leveled Hydreigon, which in the canon lore of the series only happens when someone forces evolution early, and that Hydreigon uses a full-power Frustration in B2W2, suggesting that it absolutely loathes Ghetsis.
For any non-pokemon players:
In pokemon games, there’s a hidden stat called friendship, which maxes out at 255 points; there are two (major) moves that are affected by this:
Return, which gets stronger the higher a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping at 102 base power with 255 friendship (for context, hyper beam has a base power of 150)
And frustration, which does the opposite, getting stronger the lower a pokemon’s friendship stat is, capping out at 102 base power when the pokemon is at 0 friendship
The EXTRA fucked up thing is, almost NO pokemon has a base friendship of 0. The only pokemon that do are legendary pokemon and buneary. So Ghetsis actively lowered his Hydreigon’s friendship, and the only way to do that in-game is to let your pokemon faint often without using healing items on them
In other words Ghetsis is a major cunt
wh
what’s up with buneary???
Buneary fucking hates you by default. It’s also another friendship-dependent evolution line.
for others who are clueless in the poking men, this is the tiny bunny that fucking hates you
Bunneary hates your guts with the force of Gods
The fact that Golbats consistently evolve straight to the next phase a level after they stop being Zubats when I train them is an example of why I had to stop playing the franchise. I'm that dedicated to all my 'mons, and couldn't let go of trying to fill out the Pokédex besides.
It's just too much for one person.
Then what’s the point?
Try walking on a hard floor in the middle of winter. You'll wish for a soft and insulating cushion under your feet.
So that’s basically how it went down
I resent just how fucking accurate this shitpost is, congratulations OP, you effectively illustrated how Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection became accepted by the wider public using a FUCKING MUPPETS MEME, here is your A+, get the hell out of my office
