LISTEN UP!! This is an Italian upcoming movie about the story of Romulus and Remus, the killing of the latter, and the subsequent foundation of Rome.
The movie was shot entirely in Proto Latin (a form of Latin before what we consider Archaic Latin), which was partially reconstructed thanks to the professors at La Sapienza university. How amazing is that?!
i so wanna see this!!!
Emoji use around the world
Queen.
I always have to reboot this.
For anyone wondering, this is amazing enrichment for the animal and a great way to involve guests! The lions arenât forced to play with the rope if they donât want to, and these guys (and anyone else who tries this out) have an awesome close up and hands on experience, all without having to come in direct contact with the cat!

I got so sick of the cheesy Christmas playlist at work so I snuck in a version of All I Want For Christmas Is You where half way through the vocals change to Welcome To The Black Parade
Watching the customers slow down and squint in confusion is giving me life.
This is the song
Tea what the fuck Iâm howling oh my god

I AM LAUGHING SO FUCKING HARD THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES

FUCKING
G-D
LISTEN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL UNHOLY MESS

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like âMarcus is gayâ âI fucked a girl hereâ âJulius your mum wishes she was with meâ and leonardo da vinciâs assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called âkiss my assâ so when people wish for âtodayâs generationâ to be like âhow people used toâ then weâre already there buddy weâve always been
The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying âHalfdan wrote thisâ
my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was âthis is very highâ

âPeople have literally just always been peopleâ is genuinely my favorite fact about the world
âTimes are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.â - Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 BC - 43 BC
Common dog names have literally not changed in 3,000 years.
so not nearly as old but, this is a 12th century stave church in lom, norway (one of less than 40 left in the world)
itâs hard to see, but in the top left corner of this photo where the light comes in from the window, thereâs a runic inscription
these photos show it more clearly, itâs easier to see in person. so of course one of the people i was travelling with asked what it said, and we were told it basically translates to:
âon this day, I climbed to this point, in the corner of the churchâ
people really have always been people
Throwback to the time my poor German teacher had to explain the concept of formal and informal pronouns to a class full of Australians and everyone was scandalised and loudly complained âwhy canât I treat everyone the same?â âI donât want to be a Sie!â âbut being friendly is respectful!â âwouldnât using âduâ just show I like them?â until one guy conceded âI suppose maybe Iâd use Sie with someone like the prime minister, if he werenât such a cuntâ and my teacher ended up with her head in her hands saying âyou are all banned from using du until I can trust youâ
God help Japanese teachers in Australia.
if this isnt an accurate representation of australia idk what is
Australiaâs reverse-formality respect culture is fascinating. We donât even really think about it until we try to communicate or learn about another culture and the rules that are pretty standard for most of the world just feel so wrong. I went to America this one time and I kept automatically thinking that strangers using âsirâ and âmaâamâ were sassing me.Â
Australians could not be trusted with a language with ingrained tiers of formal address. The most formal forms would immediately become synonyms for âgo fuck yourselfâ and if you werenât using the most informal version possible within three sentences of meeting someone theyâd take it to mean you hated them.
100% true.
the difference between ââscuse meâ and âexcuse meâ is a fistfight
See also: the Australian habit of insulting people by way of showing affection, which other English-speakers also do, but not in a context where deescalating the spoken invective actively increases the degree of offence intended, particularly if youâve just been affectionately-insulting with someone else.
By which I mean: if youâve just called your best mate an absolute dickhead, you canât then call a hated politician something thatâs (technically) worse, like a total fuckwit, because that would imply either that you were really insulting your mate or that you like the politician. Instead, you have to use a milder epithet, like bastard, to convey your seething hatred for the second person. But if your opening conversational gambit is slagging someone off, then itâs acceptable to go big (âThe PMâs a total cockstain!â) at the outset.
Also note that different modifiers radically change the meaning of particular insults. Case in point: calling someone a fuckinâ cunt is a deadly insult, calling someone a mad cunt is a compliment, and calling someone a fuckinâ mad cunt means youâre literally in awe of them. Because STRAYA.Â
Hey yâall, can I talk about this cool discovery I made earlier this week thatâs been taking over my brain? So any fan of the band Nightwish knows the name Tuomas Holopainen, heâs the main songwriter of the band and is a very skilled musician and composer. His craft has perfected over the years through his band, with this very album being his solo debut. The title of this album? âMusic Inspired by The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuckâ.
YES. THAT VERY SAME SCROOGE MCDUCK.
Apparently Tuomas is a huge fan of the original Scrooge McDuck comics. The album itself is based on the 12 part comic series âThe Life and Times of Scrooge McDuckâ and chronicled the various adventures of the character prior to his debut in 1947. Every track in the album is based on a particular adventure in the series, and each one is an absolute journey.
Iâm already a huge fan of Nightwish and Tuomas, and while Nightwish has made songs in tribute to Disney, never in my life would I see a symphonic tribute to a character like Scrooge. Theyâre not metal tracks, but oh my god are they gorgeous, and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra no less!
Also that guy posing next to Tuomas in the music video? Itâs Don Rosa, the artist behind The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. So it looks like Tuomas got his blessing!
For real, check out this album, itâs an absolute treasure, even if youâve never read the comics the tracks are based on. My personal favorite that Iâve been listening to on repeat for days? The Cold Heart of the Klondike, all I can say is WOW!

hoooOw dare you detective diaz i am your supIORIOR OFFICER! (BONE!!!!)whathappensinmybedroomdetectiveis none of your business (!boOoOoNE?!) dont, ever, speak to me like that again.
Iâve already reblogged this scene but the last comment is a masterclass in punctuation and vocal emphasis.
This week I had my first lecture on Mesopotamian history. At one point, the professor was talking about ancient texts. As an example, he told us that if we read an ancient inscription of a king who conquered other peoples, we could just take it as that, as a king telling us about something he did. Then he said this:Â âBut most importantly, ask yourselves:Â âWhy is he telling me this?ââ.
This, I think, is why Ancient History and all the other fields of the Classics department are more important than ever. Iâve studied other things before but never was there such an emphasis on the critical evaluation of sources. In my first semester, we critically analyzed Periclesâ funeral speech in Thukydidesâ Peloponnesian War. In my second semester, we talked about historiansâ interpretation of the past and how they were influenced by the events of their own times. Iâm in my third semester now.Â
In the times of âfake newsâ and âalternative factsâ, this skill is the most valuable tool we have. Iâve started studying Ancient History because of my love for the ancient Greeks but this is living proof that Classics is much more than just the study of long dead civilizations.Â
So always ask yourselves:Â âWhy is that person telling me this?â
say what you want, but this shit was better than the scene in legally blonde when elle wins her case
elle and jake wouldnât make it a competition, theyâd want us to appreciate the other for doing a darn good job.
This scene had me whooping like a white suburban dad at their sonâs football game
I canât believe no one has posted a clip of this yet. This is one of the funniest bits in the whole show.
This is painfully accurate Iâm fucking dying rn
@pookie-is-here
so we have these cookie jars that sit on top of the cupboard right. weâve had them for years. you can record yourself saying something so when you take the lid off you it will make a noise so you can hear if someone is stealing your cookies or something anyway anyway we have 3 of them. a pig, a cow, and an owl. now i was left alone one day. mum and dad at work, my brother at school and my sister at her boyfriends house. so i had a thought. what if i recorded myself screaming? so i did. in all 3 of them. all 3 different screams too. one was an excited shriek, one was a terrified scream, and one was a long shout. these cookie jars recorded up to 15 seconds, so i took FULL ADVANTAGE of that. nowâŠhereâs the thingâŠi did that almost 3 years ago. and these cookie jars have been sitting on top of the cupboard collecting dust.
until today.
mumâs painting the kitchen, so she had to take everything off the top of the cupboard. and uhâŠyou know how battery powered thingsâŠstart dying? theyâŠâŠslowly run out of juice? she asked me to check inside one of the jars. the pig, to be exact. andâŠthe pig was the terrified scream. i unsuspectingly opened the jar and as the lid came off the jar, i remembered what i did. but i didnât remember in time, because in that next second, a fucking demon cry sounded from this Almost Dead Battery Powered Pig Cookie Jar. it was a sound i never want to hear again. everyone ran into the kitchen to see what that god awful sound was and i just stood there, holding this satanic wailing pig. i shut my eyes, and waited the full 15 seconds, until it was silent, before turning to my mum and handed her the pig, and then leaving the kitchen.
iâll admit iâve done some dumb things in my life, but nothing couldâve prepared me for the sound i heard today.
