Jungkook for Calvin Klein Spring 2024 Campaign behind the scene

and hilariously that is not why it is called that.

It is the circle of the bears cause of ursa major and ursa minor, and the circle without bears cause ya'know opposite part of the sky.

We lucked right into that one....

#so what you’re saying is#the stars dictate whether bears do or do not exist in places

Astrology is real but only for predicting where bears will be

Bears do not travel to places they cannot see their gods

I've seen this post before but it only just occurred to me that there might be some sort of underlying reason that "places where bears are" and "places where people name stars after bears" overlap.

Why Magical Girls Are Never Attacked During A Tranformation

As some of you might already have guessed, I’m a fan of Japanese girl idols. One of the many, many idol groups in existence today in Japan is NMB48, a Osaka-based spin-off group of the (in)famous AKB48. NMB has a weekly show that’s surprisingly entertaining as well as educational called NMB to Manabu-kun, in which the members of NMB and a few comedians listen to guest lectures by experts in various fields.

Back on May 15th, the theme of the episode was pataphysics/the science of sci-fi. One of the topics of the lecture held by university professor Yanagita Rikao was the age-old question of “WHY ARE MAGICAL GIRLS NEVER ATTACKED WHILE TRANSFORMING???”

This was his answer, based on the magical girl series Futari wa Pretty Cure.

Question: The transformation scenes in Pretty Cure are very long, so why don’t the bad guys attack the girls in the meantime?

“Even when I was little, I was thinking ‘Hey! Attack them now!’”

“I found this odd as well, so I watched the transformation scene many times. And what I noticed is, when the Pretty Cures yell ‘Dual Aurora Wave!’ and transform, a rainbow-colored column of light shoots up from the ground, going BOOM!”

“And then the Pretty Cures levitate, and go up into the air. Based on this, I believe the protagonists of Pretty Cure are being held up in the air by the power of light.”

“When we think of light, we usually think it heats up things or lights up things. But in reality, light has the power to hold up things as well.”

“When the sun is beating down on us in the summer, the human body is being pressed downwards by the sun beams with a force of 2/100,000g.”

“But this is only about a one-hundred of the weight of a mosquito, so no matter how hot it is, we don’t feel that sunlight is heavy.”

“So that means the light holding them up must be extremely strong. If we assume that the two Pretty Cures each weigh about 45kg and do some calculations…”

“It means the light during the transformation must have the energy of 2,100,000,000kW per 1m2.”

“While the entirety of power that Japan is capable of generating is only 100,000,000kW.”

“So they’re using 21 TIMES the amount of energy the whole of Japan can generate.”

“So what would happen if a bad guy jumped in to try to sabotage their transformation?”

“He would EVAPORATE INSTANTLY.”

“DEATH AWAITS ANYONE WHO DARES TO DISRUPT A PRETTY CURE TRANSFORMATION.”

“So this means the best thing to do would be to transform close to any bad guys.”

“Yes. They are the strongest while they transform, and are practically invincible.”

When you apply science to magical girls, you find out just how strong and horrifying they really would be.

this is incredibly useful information and I’m reblogging it for reasons

I think we should make love.

do ppl on this site know that the “poor little meow meow” phrase comes from a rant where someone was threatening to poor bleach down the throats of ppl who were saying that it was weird how a nearing-middle-aged kpop idol sampled an extremely obscure and hard to find speech of mass murderer and cult leader jim jones because said grown man kpop idol was just so sweet and could have no idea who jim jones was or was i the only one who got to participate in the mass ratioing of this person

this is where it comes from btw. bc suga from bts or whatever his name is sought out and sampled a very obscure jim jones speech and ppl had the audacity to be like “hold on why was he listening to obscure speeches by the mass murderer cult leader who specifically targeted BIPOC and how is this relevant to his music”

I'm 33 and I had no idea who Jim Jones was before this "scandal". It's because in different countries, we are sadly taught different histories. Most countries only teach children their own country's history or maybe that of nearby countries too or those that had impact on their country. Most american kids don't learn sh*t about anything other than themselves. Germany learns at least about french revolution and the influences other european countries had on us and what f*cked up sh*t we did during WW2. We MAYBE learn some state names and who Columbus was, but anything else isn't taught. Especially not asian history. So I am right to assume that even though Yoongi is well versed in a lot of things he probably didn't know who that Jim Jones was, because koreans doubtfully learn anything about western history except maybe WW2, a bit about the US cus they are buddies and that's it.. and his english definitely isn't good enough to understand the jist of the speech. But what he does know is how to correct a mistake. Which he did. He released the track without the speech. And that's good enough for me.

no such thing as wasting your 20s your 20s are for recovering from whatever the fuck happened to you as a kid so that youre ready to get weird with it in your 30s

i can’t stop thinking about this moment
