one time i left a can of drink in my lounge overnight and the next day i went to take a sip but then i was like “wtf no it’s gonna be flat” so i went and poured it in the sink and it was like 2% liquid 98% ants and it’s been 3 years and my life is still flashing before my eyes

[captainmattriestodraw]

this is it. this is the post that haunts me every fucking day. i’m the kind of person who would drink that drink anyway. every fucking morning i find some leftover drink and i feel the fucking tension and anxiety as i look in to see if it’s gonna be 98% ants. even when i know, i get this urge of panic as i take a fucking sip. it’s probably never gonna be fucking ants but every time. every single time. even when i haven’t left the drink since i poured it i get the nerves thinking “wait what if it’s ants”. this post has ruined my fucking life.

[noitsbecky127]

this post haunts me when I drink from my fucking water bottle in the morning. my water bottle is sealed and there is no reason that there would be ants but I am paranoid. I have a tendency to leave soda cans on my desk for like an hour and when I return to them I’m like “fuck what if the ants have come”. as I type I am lying in bed planning to nap at some point and I’m paranoid that when I wake up the ants will have overtaken my half-empty diet dr pepper

[lilacandladybugs]

being an adult and making chicken is so hard. you have to remember to thaw it (like, a whole day before MINIMUM) and then once you’ve done that you have to cook it and also if you mess up you could potentially die. 

anyway so i’m making chicken and potatoes today anybody want some?

[lilacandladybugs]

also raw chicken is squishy and has a very lickable texture

[sleepysnails]

wait hold up lilac did you just say chicken had to be thawed for A WHOLE DAY???

[lilacandladybugs]

According to like. Professionals you’re supposed to leave chicken in the refrigerator to thaw so bacteria can’t grow and yes it takes at least a whole dwy

I didn’t do that and I’m not dead yet if within the next few days I’m complaining about being sick, you guys know what happened

[shrugofgod]

on one hand it would be much easier to separate roleplay from content creator if they’d actually given their characters different names before getting into it, but on the other hand, if that were the case, you know we’d be writing analysis on mr. assman’s motivations and how dick hard is handling exile

[hiveswap]

Given that Oliver Cumbucket and Drew P. Penis are an actual characters from the series where they are allowed to name their characters, i think this post is spot on

apparently ravens are associated with death and prophecy because they’re very intelligent birds and back in the day they learned p quick that large groups of men marching meant imminent corpses to feed on so they would follow armies and i think that’s v metal

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

To ravens, large groups of men marching were an omen of free food.

This shit’s infuriating

[pseudonymsobriquet]

Oh, this is a type of shorthand!

There are 3 main types, but from my research, this looks to be American Gregg Shorthand.

As you can see, there are set symbols for every letter.

Let’s break one of the words down:

Using the Gregg Alphabet as reference, we can see most of the letters in “atrophied” are present. But why no “o” vowel, and why is “ph” written as “f”?

Simple. In shorthand, you cut out all vowels in a word when writing it down, with the exception of words that BEGIN or END with a vowel (hence the “a” at the start being present), or like in the “i” in “atrophied”, to make it more readable when the sound could be harder to distinguish if it isn’t written. In “atrophied” if the the “i” isn’t written, it could be hard to tell if the writer meant a “fud”, “fad”, “fod” or “fid” sound, for example.

Also, since Shorthand is a phonetic writing system, you are encouraged to write down the phonetic sounds of words rather than the actual letter blends - in this case, write an “f” instead of a “ph”.

So in actuality, these aren’t just meaningless scribbles - it’s Gregg Shorthand, a writing system developed to take down notes more quickly than when written out in full, which is very useful in a medical or journalistic environment.

Some people can even write over 100 words in a minute! And, it’s been in use since John Robert Gregg invented it in 1888! Wow! So old!

Isn’t language amazing~?

“Feeling cute might cause a traffic jam”

(via)

[bettaworldforbettas]

During the dry season, some Bettas can get stuck in puddles – but they avoid this and will jump to greater levels of water when possible. This survival fact about Bettas is embraced and amplified by the pet industry because it creates huge opportunities for profit – the sale of more Bettas and tiny “tanks” that falsely suggest they mimic a Betta’s habitat. Aquariums are artificial environments, not natural ecosystems. A Betta will not be happy in such cramped conditions (e.g. tanks under 1 gal), just as it would not enjoy getting trapped in a puddle! In the comfort of our homes, Bettas shouldn’t just be surviving!

[iheartvmt]

Also, speaking from experience before I knew better… Bettas will 100% try to jump from their crappy tiny bowl, like they would jump from a puddle into a bigger pond, and this doesn’t go well for them :’(

In Yiddish we don’t say “I love you” we say “דאַלוי פּאָליציי” which roughly translates to “you’re my moon” and I think that’s beautiful.

cute!!!

sorry so this is an old joke I reblogged recently based off a meme format from like 5 years ago that I thought my mutuals would still find funny and didn’t realize people would think I’m serious. the phrase above, daloy politsey, actually translates to “fuck the police”

I think it would be very funny for like characters in a fantasy setting to walk into a pub and try to order and the bartender sighs and goes "species and age?" While pulling out a massive book holding the drinking age for every type of species capable of purchasing alcohol

hey ao3 can you like give the extra $38k you made from this month’s funds drive to charity

[blooming-wilting]

You know it legally is a charity, right?

If x charity aims for £10, but gets £15, would you expect then to give back the extra five or give it then to another charity? No. Any extra costs go into the “rainy day” fund; sometimes servers crash or break, sometimes false reports are made that require the legal team, sometimes you need to hire coders or what not to implement new features or fix bugs or deal with broken code … 

The money they aimed for is the bare minimum, which goes towards things like basic server costs and domain names and legal advice and so forth, but they don’t just “pocket” the rest (as people claim). It’s not a business. It has no advertisements. It needs some “rainy day” cash to function. 

You can’t ask a charity to give money to another charity. 

It needs what it gets to function and improve.

They don’t “pocket” excess money. They have a publicly accessible budget - waaaay more info than most charities, in fact. In it, you can clearly see where each dollar goes. (Also, you are vastly underestimating either how much traffic AO3 gets or how much servers/hosting costs.)                    

In my experience, people who don’t work in web design and hosting just have no concept of how heavy a load something like AO3 would have. Not only is the traffic absolutely buck wild, but the quantity of data that archive needs to store is fuckoff crazy. I’m talking “more than the library of congress” crazy. The only reason it doesn’t require Netflix levels of data serving is that it’s text based rather than video.

AO3 is in the top 300 websites in the world, and the top 100 in the US. It is the number 2 literature website.

Number 2 in the entire world. JSTOR is 20.

It sees about 6 million people a day. About 250k an hour. Each of those people is loading multiple pages, many are running searches that execute on literally hundreds of potential variables per search. The demands involved are astronomical.

JSTOR, btw, makes 85 million dollars a year.

It’s 18 ranks below AO3′s traffic, and takes in 650 times the amount of money.

But let’s say you think that’s an unfair comparison. Would you say that the Project Gutenberg Literature Archival Group- another text based archive that handles literature operating outside traditional copyright requirements- is more similar?

Because it sees all of 4% of the traffic that AO3 handles.

Care to guess its budget?

Double that of AO3.

AO3 is doing shit on the kind of shoestring budget that I fully, 100% cannot comprehend. And that’s just the archival service.

The 130k also pays for the OTW’s legal team, which they use to defend the right of fandom to fucking exist.

It’s absolutely batshit fucked up that people are fighting to have the OTW defunded and AO3 shut down. They are the only organized group that actually stands directly between fandom- all the art and the fics and the vids and the music and the chats and the memes and everything we love about interactive, transformative work- and an incalculable amount of lawsuits.
