Probably none of you are here for my art lol, but here's my art-station anyway!

deeply sympathize with opthamologists and astronomers desperately trying to convince the public not to look directly at eclipses without eclipse glasses. but i'm also surprised at how often people are nonchalant about it. this isn't like "don't smoke," or even "put on sunscreen." this isn't a diffuse, indirect harm--if you look at the sun with your naked eyeball it hurts and you can't see anything.

friend of mine is going to see the eclipse with someone on a date and was like "sunglasses should be fine, right?" no, dude sunglasses aren't fine. i mean probably it'll be less eyeball hurty this evening just bc the sun will be so low in the sky. so maybe you will avoid immediate eye-searing pain. but you can still cause long-lasting or permanent injury!

#the amount of people in my town without eclipse glasses was wild #they're not expensive!#protect your fucking eyeballs goddamn

Fan-work about the Addams Family being online usually focuses on the kids, but consider: Gomez Addams livestreaming uncommentated model reenactments of famous train disasters. Nobody knows who the culprit is – you can see him from the neck down while he’s setting things up, but his face is always out of the frame. The model railroad community is torn between being impressed at the mystery streamer’s dedication and horrified that this maniac keeps taking these beautiful, meticulously accurate recreations and blowing them to smithereens.

I see this and raise you Morticia'a homemaking blog. The recipes are all just slightly off but the ubiquitous rambling stories before them are distressing enough that the consensus is “AI-generated artpiece trained on mommyblogs, true crime podcasts, and amateur horror fiction.”

A lot of people are ragging on the 'cable diverted to avoid Dobby's grave after Harry Potter fans raise a stink' thing and while I also love ragging on Harry Potter fans being weird, in this case it looks like the story was completely made up.

tl;dr: There's no evidence the interview that this was mentioned in even exists, no evidence the route of the cable has ever changed, and the whole story seems to originate from one dude's podcast.

The story also broke into mainstream via the Daily Mail, who are ... rarely if ever honest or accurate.

Some useful replies to that comment and the link to the BBC article here (the interview that OOP couldn't find):

A 125-mile long cable could be installed from Pembrokeshire to Ireland to share energy.

Thought it was worth looking into because I first read about in a Guardian article, and they're typically good at fact-checking and retractions iirc.

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

json-derulo

someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper

junefrombug

okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

niltia

My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!

There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is

Second link's good guys, truly

type-blaze0

Teaboot's right, there is basically nothing on earth that could convince me to click the second link. I genuinely believe it might be real, but i'm not touching it.

#thats so cool #also i have a link preview thing specifically so i don't get rickrolled XD #second link does not resolve to youtube #though if you are still suspicious #you can copy the link address and paste it somewhere to check

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

computationalcalculator

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

I tested this theory in the wild the other day at work. I was on a call with my department lead and a few other folks and I replied to an email the DL had sent me, thinking that, because he was on this call, he wouldn't notice when I sent it and would not catch me multitasking.

However, he replied to said email within five minutes, asking a question that required an answer. So I answered and was like "Also, I was going to apologize for answering emails during this call, but I see we're both here at the Devil's Sacrament, so I don't think an apology is necessary."

I watched him read that on screen and try not to laugh. And then at the end of the call as everyone started saying goodbye, he goes, "Hey, MJ, I meant to tell you. I like your shoelaces."

And I looked straight into my camera, stone cold serious, and said, "Thanks. I stole them from the president."

And the rest of the team was like, "What...the fuck...?" before he abruptly ended the call for everyone.

So now my DL and I know this about each other. He could be any one of us.

At a certain point, the appropriate response to "What were you doing at the devil's sacrament" becomes "stealing shoelaces from the president."

my take for the day. being edgy (and i mean shadow the hedgehog, 2005 mcr, scene kid edgy. not 4chan edgy) is in fact very good and i’d say even important

genuine expression of your emotions, especially your negative ones, is incredibly important to keep your mental health in check. doing it through music (listening or creating), clothes, makeup, poetry, etc is a safe and healthy way to do it

bottling up your emotions is never good. if listening to bring me the horizon helps you process your views on the world, do it. if smudging your eyeliner feels like you’re matching your inside to your outside, do it. if drawing bloody characters makes you feel better, do it. who cares if some boring loser thinks it’s cringe. do it for yourself
