Whenever I’m on the street children throw large pebbles at me and say “This is only somewhat due to your bad tumblr posts. There are multiple reasons for this.”

its all the same fucking website layout

[were--ralph]

genuinely not a joke. I have all three of these tabs open and i got legitimately confused on which one i had open bc i wanted to post this on other sites

[were--ralph]

There's something to be said about websites losing their sense of identity because everyone at the top wants to "optimize" their site from a business standpoint; driving clicks and engagement while sacrificing personality for simplicity. This is the exact reason i got out of graphic design because corporations are deluding themselves that making their UI as minimal as possible is going to make their site(e) more approachable and more likely to increase numbers and clicks and shit

On Wikipedia, I found an article about a bacterium that is the only known organism that exists in an ecosystem containing only itself.

[headspace-hotel]

It eats chemicals produced from radioactive decay of rocks deep beneath the Earth's crust.

Nothing on Earth is alone except this little bacterium.

Desulforudis audaxviator??? My favorite microbe??? Found 2.7 km down a South African gold mine in a puddle of radioactive groundwater?

Also fun in microbiology when we talk about wether individuals even exist. If they don’t, this guy could be the only one. BUT even he has evidence of horizontal gene transfer with archaea! Even if you can be alone doesn’t mean you have to be.

[green-algae]

The name comes from a quotation from Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Center of the Earth, where the hero, Professor Lidenbrock, finds a secret inscription in Latin: Descende, audax viator, et terrestre centrum attinges (Descend, bold traveller, and you will attain the center of the Earth).
