favourite bird?

First thought is something flashy like the red winged black bird or goldfinch (common birds in my area), but no I think it’s probably the Brown Headed Cowbird

The first time I heard it’s call I thought it sounded so magical, and for those that don’t know, it’s a brood parasite! How cool!

Pacific velvet ant, Dasymutilla aureola, Mutillidae

Velvet ants are a type of wasp; females are wingless and can deliver a powerful sting.

concept for a tv show: a cute simple love story between an assistant and a chauffeur or bodyguard or whatever else rich people have and in the background the rich people are having the wildest telenovela level drama that we only catch glimpses of

[still-bejeweled-and-shining]

(Flustered assistant) "So... do you want to go on a coffee date?" (Very flustered bodyguard) "I'd love to!"

(While they're looking at eachother cutely, we hear a woman screaming in the background "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH MY BROTHER???" . Then somebody jumps off a window)

Exactly you get me

I had a dream last night where I built and released a computer game called HORSE and all it is is that you play as a horse and most of the gameplay is you being ridden and having to obey cues from your rider (which are visually displayed on the screen). You move through beautiful vast 3D vistas while you hear and see the story of your rider, a young nobleman who's just been given his first horse, happen around you. He makes friends with a ragtag group of adventurers and might romance one of his party members et cetera but you have no part in that, your job is to be a horse. How good a horse you are affects your bond with him and if you're really bad you can get sold to a glue factory. It's an intensely narrative game where this young boy grows up and might overthrow the king or be banished and flee on his treasured horse or might do a variety of other things all depending on how good he is at controlling his horse and on whether his horse takes him where he wants to go or charges off into the woods and gets him kidnapped by bandits or whatever. You don't have any special powers or anything you're literally just a horse.

In my dream this game did incredibly well for no reason, but when I woke up all I could think of was how my dream self had ripped off my previous game idea, Fine, you can play as a magic sword, which is a card battler where you're the magical sword of destiny in the hands of the Chosen One and the story depends on what battles you win or lose; you can intentionally get a weak Chosen One killed and end up in the hands of someone stronger who'll get you cooler cards for your deck but could become an evil tyrant, that kind of thing.

Is HORSE from a first-horse or a third-horse perspective?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

First-horse. And if you're too disobedient a horse then they can put blinders on you to restrict your vision and make you listen to your rider more.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Important side not about HORSE is that you cannot understand the language that the human characters speak. You should learn any verbal riding commands pretty quickly just through gameplay, but you can never be one hundred per cent sure what's specifically happening in intense plot scenes and thus can't make deliberate long-term plans to control the narrative yourself. You have to trust that your human rider knows what he's doing and is making good decisions. You're just a horse.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#unironically i would play the fuck out of HORSE#that's a really fun concept for a game and i think id enjoy trying to puzzle out what's happening and what impact my actions will have#and occasionally causing problems on purpose because from what i can tell horses do that sometimes

There would be a dedicated 'bite' button

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

[thundercrackfic]

This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.

The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

EXCUSE ME THERE IS A PLANT THAT CAN MIMIC FAKE PLANTS?????

IT'S CALLED A BOQUILA TRIOFOLIOLATA AND IT'S FUCKING WITH MY BRAIN

IT APPARENTLY CAN MIMIC OTHER PLANTS AND AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "oh cool man it must take it's genetic code and copy it or feel the roots or something like that!! :3"

AND THEN I READ AN ARTICLE ON IT AND THESE FUCKING PARAGRAPHS HIT ME LIKE A BUS

LIKE READ THIS SHIT

WHAT THE FUCK MOTHER NATURE

[rhyperographer]

I went to find the article. It's fascinating.

[digital-magus]

In retrospect, consider the number 1 thing every grade-schooler knows about plants is they take in light, the idea they might be able to see should not wreck my shit as hard as it does

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.
