Y'all wanna be pulling receipts about something another blogger said in 2006 because it’s not that you give a single fuck about progress and changing minds and attitudes, but because you want internet brownie points for “dragging” someone else and looking mightier than though. BYE!

The real reason it’s a fucking travesty Peter Parker is “straight” is that he would have a fucking field day making gay jokes. Imagine Spiderman wit mixed with millennial gay humour. He’d be unstoppable

[fugayyyku]

This post is pissing people off so I’m gonna add to it:

*villain du jour flirts with Spiderman* woah! I know I swing both ways, but your way isn’t one of em

***

Intellectual™ white supremacist: and when I’m done the entire world will be one homogeneous society-

Spidey: buddy the only homo-genius here is me step off

***

Villain: *gestures to the eyesore that is the Spiderman suit* what kind of fashion is this

Spidey, a gay, knowing that all his villains commit crime in their fursuits: fucking respectable is what it is

***

Villain, talking about the plague that is vigilantes: your way of life disgusts me

Spidey, with narrowed eyes: is this homophobia or arachnophobia

[lacrimosathedark]

This is entirely accurate and I am all for Bi-der-man.

i always imagined kiwi birds as the size of kiwi fruit and i was so wrong

[staccatostark-deactivated201811]

wait how big are they then

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

closer to pumpkins

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

what you have to remember is the kiwi fruit is their unfertilized egg, so use that as a size reference

[bard-irl]

Oh no kiwi eggs are much larger than kiwifruit

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Only the fertilized ones the unfertilized ones are sold in grocery stores as fruit

[bookwyrmyparadicsom]

i see no difference

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the fuzzy layer is the avian equivalent of the endometrium (mucous membrane lining the uterus); it helps prevents infection. all types of kiwi eggs have them, but it is typically reabsorbed by the body by the time a fertilized egg is finished growing. if an egg isn’t fertilized and stops growing, the body simply passes the egg, lining and all, and tries again. 

[my-nickname-atrocy]

then why can’t we crack open the egg like we can with other unfertilized bird eggs

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

that’s another feature unique to the kiwi! (and possible some extinct related birds.) the eggs don’t calcify until the later stages of embryo maturation. this is because kiwi birds have one of the largest egg-to-body ratios in the bird world. the eggs take up a huge amount of space in the mother’s body. keeping the egg soft-shelled until it’s mature gives the internal organs more room to safely do their job.  

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

it’s theorized that the strong resemblance between kiwi ‘fruit’ (aka the unfertilized eggs) and newly hatched birds is a survival mechanism. the average nest contains several unfertilized eggs, which researchers believe may serve as a distraction in the event a predator invades the nest, giving the real hatchling time to escape.

Now that we’ve mildly recovered from that mindf*** let’s enjoy footage of a Kiwi discovering that their carer has given them extra food.

No one’s saying this so I guess I’ve gotta: no more shirtless scenes for men if the actors gotta starve himself. Its just as bad as woman being forced to lose weight for a needless sex scene/photshoot what have you. If it endagers the health of the individual it should not be encouraged.
