You’re in her dms, I’m in those cryptic, prophetic dreams she keeps having. We’re not the same

[pleaseexorciseme]

John Mulaney, a man who is iconically known for loving his wife, after being told by Jerry Seinfeld that his wife only thinks shes good at something

[jackironsides]

Well done OP, you’ve managed to capture the moment John’s spirit left his body

[ryrosryhoe]

Jerry’s lucky that John is too polite to throw hands

[bonepoem]

Okay but I just went and watched this for myself and it’s WORSE

He’s. So uncomfortable. It’s obvious. I cut out the part where John kind of muttered, “That is true, isn’t it” about how all men think they’re funny, but his face is just screwed up in this ‘oh god what have i done what have i signed up for this is not good and this will probably go into my next comedy special of awkwardness’

[jukebox-head]

Just watched this omg bless john bc jerry just keeps trying to do some “take my wife” bullshit and john very politely goes no, no.

[cryptiboy]

proud of John for restraining himself from murdering a man on camera

[wintersoldierfell]

What’s so horrifying about this to me is that this is literally Jerry Seinfeld trying to teach John Mulaney how to gaslight his wife.

Look at that dialogue. “She thinks she knows.” He’s trying to get Mulaney to see his wife’s expertise as instead a weird misperception. He’s coaching him to undercut his wife’s confidence in the truth and her own abilities.

And Mulaney replies exactly the right way: “She does know.” He asserts not only that she’s perceiving the world accurately, but that she is an expert at something he’s not good at.

Dudes, don’t take this shit from other dudes. Mulaney isn’t by any means perfect but he aced this. Stand for the truth. Defend women’s objectivity. Promote women’s expertise.

[randomthingsthatilike1]

Doesnt his wife also work with antiques too?like. Isnt that part of her actual job?

[thechy-fychannel]

I reblog this every time because I don’t think people understand that Anna is literally an interior designer. She makes absolutely stunning Victorian Lampshades. Which she designs.. for the interior of a home… she’s literally an interior designer. She doesn’t think she’s good at it, she knows she’s good at it because it’s her fucking job

if anyone needs me i'll be frothing at the mouth thinking about the origin of language and interspecies communication. happy wednesday.

[welcometothewarren]

how did we learn this? who taught us this? is it coincidental? is it observational? is it that something in the source of these sixteen languages stems from the same animal instinct that causes each of these species to call out to their own kind? I Am Going To Lose It.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

my favorite thing in the world is how every single human culture, together or independently, created its own version of Pancake. everyone took one look at frying pans and were like “holy shit i have the BEST idea”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i’m not even exaggerating not even a itty teeny bit

Latkes (Ashkenazi Jewish), Blini (Russian/Ukrainian), Injera (Horn of Africa), Kabalagala (Ugandan banana pancakes), Arepas (Colombian/Venezuelan), Cachapas (also Venezuelan/Colombian), Qatayef (Middle Eastern)

Buchimgae (Korean pancake), Cong you bing (Chinese scallion pancake), Okonomiyaki (Japan), oh crap I hit photo limit

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

WAIT I GOT MORE

Dosa (Indian), Apam balik (Southeast Asia), Nordic pancakes (Norway, Sweden), Poffertjes (Netherlands), Dutch baby pancake (U.S.), Johnny/Hoecakes (Indigenous North America), Crumpets (U.K.), Souffle pancakes (Japanese)

some of these recipes go back a thousand years, some are only a few decades old, wikipedia has like a hundred more entries, PANCAKES ARE THE UNIVERSAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE, PANCAKES ARE THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF EXISTENCE

some cars: nahh that looks like a road hazard, driving around that shit immediately

most cars: SPLISH SPLASH I WAS TAKIN A BATH WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[anachronic-cobra]

Alien: You’re telling me that in times of great distress humans have been known to suddenly gain the strength necessary to lift objects more than a dozen times their own weight?!

Human: Yeah, it’s called “hysterical strength” and it usually happens in life-or-death situations, like when someone gets stuck under a car or something and someone lifts the car to get them out. We can’t really test it though, ‘cause it only happens spontaneously.

Alien: Humans have the ability to tap into untold strength and power and you don’t even know how you do it?

Human: Pretty much, yeah. We think it has something to do with temporary analgesia, so we just don’t feel the pain we should when we pick up a 3000-pound car.

Alien: YOUR PAIN RESPONSE JUST SHUTS OFF?

Human: Yeah, it’s like an adrenaline thing? Do you not have that?

Alien: Fuck you and your entire species of tiny juggernauts.

[alexyquest]

Did this post just use a dialogue format to trick me into learning science

[udunie]

Had to check this out on wikipedia at least and boy was that a ride

[atepa09]

SCIENCE!

[not-a-bot-i-swear-deactivated20]

Just so you guys know. Hysterical strength is basically your body not holding back and going %100 though there is a great danger of you hurting yourself or breaking something since your ignoring pain and going %100. There was a case where a kid deadlifted a car to save a sibling but,cracked 8 of his teeth during it because he was clenching his jaw so hard. So whilst you can lift a car or fight off polar bears. Your probably going to break something. Because most of the time when we are “giving our all” we are only giving a fraction of what we could give and this is because if we truly give our all we can seriously injure ourselves.

[celestial-naiad]

This is literally an explanation of Deku and his abilities with One For All.

[such-justice-wow]

Humans naturally hold back because our muscles have enough strength to rip themselves apart

[thathealeygirl]

STOP GIVING THE ALIENS REASONS NOT TO VISIT.

[salamencerobot]

@celestial-naiad the whole one million percent smash was actually hysterical strength, according to horikoshi.

on an unrelated note, did you know that if all the muscles in your back clenched at once your spine would shatter? have fun!!

[celestial-naiad]

Thats a horrifying and empowering thought at the same time.

[silent-calling]

Also: when you are sufficiently electrocuted and “thrown back” what is actually happening is your muscles contracting so hard and fast you essentially fling yourself away from the dangerous thing.

[jadensilver]

This is the same stuff that stops you from biting off your own fingers and whatnot. Our brains just say ‘no, don’t,’ whenever we try to do some dumbass shit, until we reach the point where it’s either do the dumbass shit or die/watch someone else die. I think it’s really cool though that we can shut off this function for others than ourselves. It shows a lot how we truly are social creatures at our core, that we don’t just do this when it’s our own body that might die, but for others in our community as well. 

[sindri42]

This is why a zombie would be extremely terrifying for a short period, and then neutralize itself. No fear and no pain means it could rip apart the gates to your fortress with its bare hands, but it would tear its arms or break its back in the process and never do anything very dangerous again.

This also means that anybody with a magical super-healing power would essentially get super strength out of the mix for free if they could get past the psychological limitations. That’s probably what makes vampires so strong; they don’t actually put out any more force than a normal human but they repair any damage they take in the process almost instantly.

@krunchy-tuna why would you hide this hilarious comment in the tags

[anachronic-cobra]

Aight I know I’m OP but I gotta reblog for appreciation of that comment

good

[allwomenmustdieactually]

Say what you will about Tumblr but it’s rather punk that capitalism has no power here. That we cannot be turned into products and are free to roam the tundra and scream into the woods about whatever like some primal beings.

[smoothcollegedudemsu]

Honestly? Fucking love this

[lesbianlutherhargreeves]

For those saying Vanya now has to be trans or go by he/they (and I want to make it clear if thats what they decide to do then all for it!), let Elliot himself and the writers decide if thats what they want for the character. Elliot isn’t Vanya, he is his own person playing a character.

Its complex, but I think gay and trans people have the right to choose to play straight and cis characters- we shouldn’t be boxed in our identity to only play characters exactly like us.

[fungalnebula]

If john travolta can play the mom in hairspray and nobody bats an eye then trans and nb people can play characters that are their agab if they're cool with it.

[luidilovins]

good point

[terrestrialeris]

the inherent eroticism of the university library after dark

[ardentdelirium]

Your university librarians are begging you to resist that eroticism at all costs.

[terpsikeraunos]

"dark academia" romanticized library: hushed dimly lit room full of hidden corners between the shelves of beautifully bound books

actual university library: clusters of freshmen crying or sleeping on their notes while someone desperately tries to get the printer to work

[theatlanticaprincess]

Part of what’s so great about Sleeping Beauty is that i’s about like one very intense day in Aurora’s life. For sixteen years she picks berries and minds her business and like one right after another it’s ‘you’re fallen in love but it doesn’t matter’ ‘you’re a princess’ ‘we’re not your real aunts’ ‘you’re engaged to a stranger’ ‘you’re going home to your real parents’ ‘magic is real and we wield it’ and that onslaught of constant life-altering information is why she is the princess best poised to survive 2020

[mighty-meerkat]

aurora’s last words after pricking her finger: oh thank fuck some time to process all this

[wuvbuggy-deactivated20221018]

dont care didnt ask plus your pessimistic outlook on life is exhausting

[wuvbuggy-deactivated20221018]

"we all die" "love is pointless" "its never gonna get better" yeah ok bitch maybe!!!! i dont care tho im still gonna love with my entire heart and live every day like its my last!!!

[charlesoberonn-deactivated20150]

It got funnier when I realized just how many tulips are in this picture.

[guardgenie]

“In a world where tulips were yellow, one dared to be different…”

[slightly-fanatic]

Every spring this picture comes back around and every spring I crack up

[al-the-stuff-i-like]

at first you just see the row of tulips in the foreground, and it’s funny

then you see the rows stretching back for yards and yards, and it’s even funnier

[ctnctnctnctnctn]

Heyo so I’m throwing a big ol party after quarantine if this hits 1 mill so uh if anyone’s out there pls help embarrass my sister even more 7 years later
