"i require more fluids" well what did you do with the fluids I already gave you. hmm? did you make more mucus with them? you made more mucus with them.

I've been thinking about this all day.

i thinkit would be cool if there was an omegaverse but for salmon instead of wolves. Like when the time comes certain members of society get really juicy musclewise and get yiffy fangs and are suddenly compelled to return to the neighborhood they grew up in and 96 hours later show up barefoot in full starvation mode and ravaged by walking through interstate traffic to fuck whoevwr smells the best in the local burger king. Then afterwards they die and disintegrate to be eaten by seagulls in the parking lot

Rewatching Death Note via the traditional method of watching other people on youtube watch Death Note and my god does this show play out like fanfiction of Death Note

derinthescarletpescatarian

The deuteragonists take a sudden break from their intense cat-and-mouse death game to spend multiple episodes literally shackled together being Detective Buddies and then one gives the other a foot massage mid deep conversation while they're both soaking wet from the rain

Misa dresses like Ebony Dark'Ness Dementia Raven Way and keeps surviving because death gods won't stop falling in love with her

One of the deuteragonists dies two thirds of the way through the story to get replaced by two pale-haired kids who are Him But Weird In Different Ways and Emo Gang Leader

One time my bf was telling me about people who argue about intelligent creation by saying “the earth is perfectly round!” And I said “but it isn’t!” And he was so proud of me

What a stupid rock we live on

We don’t live on a rock. We live on a Potato.

Sorry, peeps, but this is mislabeled. As should honestly be pretty obvious when you compare it to a picture of Earth from space:

However, I can’t entirely blame people for being fooled; reverse-google-imaging it will give you hundreds of shady gif-collecting sites labeling it “earth without water.” But this is also not true.

This is where it originally comes from (hooray for Tineye). If you don’t want to bother to check the link, it’s the page for a Matlab program designed to image geoscience data. That gif is a map of gravitational field strength across the earth… exaggerated by a thousand. Here’s what it looks like not exaggerated:

As you can see, significantly less potato-y. But still lumpy, because that’s the whole point of the program: to show areas where the numbers are higher as higher and areas where the numbers are lower as lower.

As the page itself points out, in real life, the Earth is very close to a sphere. However, there’s a pretty simply and logical reason for this: gravity. Things that are in higher areas relative to the center of the planet will tend to move downhill, resulting in the lower parts being filled and the higher parts getting shorter.

So, you know, if you ever run into any of those loony intelligent-designers an earlier commenter mentioned, now you know the REAL reason they’re wrong.

As a wheelchair user I'm trying to reframe my language for "being in the way."

"I'm in the way," "I can't fit," and "I can't go there," is becoming "there's not enough space," "the walkway is too narrow," and "that place isn't accessible."

It's a small change, but to me it feels as if I'm redirecting blame from myself to the people that made these places inaccessible in the first place. I don't want people to just think that they're helping me, I want them to think that they're making up for someone else's wrongdoing. I want them to remember every time I've needed help as something someone else caused.

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

feels-for-the-fictional

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

marzipanandminutiae

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

ineptshieldmaid

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

squeeful

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.
