Oarfish are Cool

Aussie, 22, INFJ, she/her preferred but not overly fussed. I post whatever I feel like, usually just about my new fandoms or how cool oarfish are. Sometimes I send would you rathers. That's it.

The most popular browsers in different countries in 2012 and 2022.

Nope! When Chrome first came to popularity, people switched over to it cause it was “faster” (turns out, it just eats through your device’s CPU) but since then Firefox has upped its game in a major way. Chrome just doesn’t measure up anymore. Plus, nowadays Chrome is just a data harvester designed to show hyper targeted ads - so even if Firefox ain’t for you, it’s still worth ditching Google for a different browser.

Legit though I switched to Firefox and it’s so so so much better

i’m gonna keep reblogging this ad infinitum so yall might as well convert now

Firefox was a game a changer for me. My laptop no longer replicates a jet engine when I go to search something.

You ever look at the rest of tumblr and go "they dont know about how tommyinnit (who at the time said he was straight) tricked his friend (who is a gay man) into marrying him and when his friend/husband found out (months later when he was joking about having a Vegas wedding with another friend and then Realised) he tried to get a divorce but tommy said no even though he has had a girlfriend the entire time and that then he wrote wattpad rpf fanfic about him and his friend/husband kissing (specifically with tongue) and his girlfriend dying and all the wrongs of the world being fixed. Not only that but he subsequently recorded an I'm just Ken parody about this marriage and most recently while Tommy was on a trip around America, back in England, his friend/husband started streaming more with Tommy's girlfriend and bought her a new iphone so he joked that he was being cucked. And now he's just come out as bicurious after his friend/husband tried to get him to say the f-slur on stream and his response was that he could only say a 1/5th of it before calling his husband a " 'ggott"." And this is all (probably) real. This is a real thing that happened.

Doing a research essay on poison dart frogs and a large part of the reason they're endangered is the goddamn illegal exotic pet trade. Who the FUCK thinks keeping a frog poisonous enough to kill ten people with one touch is a good idea??? Call me boring but this doesn't seem like a good idea.

The article I'm reading just described frogs as having a 'stoic nature' what the FUCK does that mean???

So turns out golden poison dart frogs aren't poisonous in captivity because their poison comes from beetles or some shit, but I still think they are FUCKING cool god I want to see one some day.

s1 is just. i love you grainy unfocused shots of cemeteries and foggy roads no one travels. i love you john’s journal as a bible. i love you sam driving the impala casually with dean sleeping in the passenger seat. i love you dark motels with neon signs and dusty libraries with huge lore books. i love you side character serving as a mirror to the winchesters. i love you cleaning guns and wounds and sharpening of knives and gas stations and flip phones and laptop stickers. i love you small towns where time stands still with something unknowable and hungry lurking in the shadows. i love you angry psychic kid sam and dean trying his best with a leather jacket too big for him. i love you looming presences of john and mary. i love you homemade and flawed equipment. i love you horror and tragedy and blood. i love you dramatic lighting and silhouettes. i love you folklore and local legends. i love you -

El negro Matapacos (black cop killer)  was a symbol of fight and hope in the social protests we had last year. He was a stray who marched with the people and defended them from authorities. 

He is Chile’s most beloved protest dog.

   Here are some murals honoring him from different cities across the country

they even made a statue

and the government via the police pigs have tried destroying murals, symbols, even that giant matapacos statue THREE TIMES but his spirit carries on.

I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

Gamechanger

Here’s a cheatsheet of all the available hidden search functions. “-creators:[whatever]” is another exclusion that can be particularly useful.

Holy shit. Rt to save time

I’ve been staring at this gif for ages and it’s so funny.

Maul is just showing off and does this completely unnecessary jump to back away, doesn’t bother to use the Force to open the doors but throws something at the controls.

AND FUCKING OBI-WAN KENOBI CASUALLY WALKS UP TO HIM, SWINGING HIS LIGHTSABER LIKE “YEAH I’M GONNA FUCK YOU UP BITCH”

The longer I look at it the funnier it gets. He’s just not impressed at all lmao

And he keeps doing it.
