I couldn't decide between "sunshine there ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night" from Caraphernalia or "so melodramatic but it turns me on, I close my eyes and it feels just like a movie" from Fast Times at Clairemont High

How many horsepower is 1 horse?

e-seal-deactivated20210319

Okay logically it follows that a horse is 1 horse power but what’s the standard? Because horses aren’t the same

fullmetalwindbreaker

the average horse can produce almost 15 horsepower

That’s technically correct, but that’s only over very brief periods. The horsepower is actually a pretty close estimate to an average horse’s sustained output. Quoting Wikipedia:

In 1993, R. D. Stevenson and R. J. Wassersug published correspondence in Nature summarizing measurements and calculations of peak and sustained work rates of a horse.[13] Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.9 hp (11.1 kW)[14] and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries and also consistent with a work rate of about 4 times the basal rate expended by other vertebrates for sustained activity.[13]

When considering human-powered equipment, a healthy human can produce about 1.2 hp (0.89 kW) briefly (see orders of magnitude) and sustain about 0.1 hp (0.075 kW) indefinitely; trained athletes can manage up to about 2.5 hp (1.9 kW) briefly[15] and 0.35 hp (0.26 kW) for a period of several hours.[16] The Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt produced a maximum of 3.5 hp (2.6 kW) 0.89 seconds into his 9.58 second 100-metre (109.4 yd) dash world record in 2009

God, that explains this:

im-pretty-bored

Don't feel ashamed of doing "CHILDISH" things

•buy toys/dolls/crayons •play with Legos •play old videogames/dress up games •weave friendship bracelets •watch cartoons •use stickers •draw pics of your favorite characters

If it makes you feel nice, do it. Don’t even worry about what other people think, because it doesn’t matter–if it brings you happiness, it’s not “ridiculous”, or “immature”.

You deserve to enjoy yourself.

Let me share with you what I consider to be the most important less I’ve learned in my adult life:

“Growing up doesn’t mean you can’t have Zebra Cakes. Growing up simply means that, if you want to have Zebra Cakes, you buy them for yourself.”

“What the hell are you talking about, Bear?” Well, let me explain. For those of you who live outside of the US, this is a Zebra Cake:

It’s a little pre-packaged snack cake that is horribly cheap and junky and really not that great, but it is like manna from heaven to me. I fucking love these things. When I was a little kid growing up, my mom bought Zebra Cakes but once in a blue moon. They were intended to be put in mine and my siblings’ school lunches, but my brother and I would eat them whenever we wanted, so Mom just didn’t see the point. (They also used to be kind of expensive, at least for our family’s budget.) Needless to say, the coveted Zebra Cakes were a luxury for me, and were one of the tastes of my childhood.

Fast forward to my college years. I was living in an apartment with three other people, doing my own shopping and cooking. I was in the grocery store, picking up some stuff, and I happened to walk past a display of snack cakes. Among them were several boxes of Zebra Cakes.

I paused at this, chuckling to myself. Oh man. Zebra Cakes. I haven’t had those in years. I loved those when I was a kid. I reminisced happily and thought about how much I missed the taste of Zebra Cakes, then started to walk away.

And then I stopped dead.

Because I had realized that there was literally nothing stopping me from buying a box of Zebra Cakes. There was nothing stopping me from buying ten boxes of Zebra Cakes. If I wanted Zebra Cakes, I could have goddamn Zebra Cakes, because it was my money and my decision to make.

I put two boxes in my cart (they were 2 for $5) and never looked back.

Here’s the secret I learned that day: The idea of something being “just for kids” is, by and large, bullshit. What you do on your own adult free time with your own adult money is, by its very nature, adult stuff. It’s like comedian Eddie Izzard (who frequently performed his routines in drag) once said when someone asked about him wearing ‘women’s clothes’: “They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.”

I am 25 years old, and yesterday I bought myself a shark lunchbox. Look at it. Look at how awesome my lunchbox is.

Was this lunchbox intended to by bought for and used by a child? Yes. The tag said it was for ages 3 and up. But it was bought by and will be used by an adult, and anyone who thinks that’s wrong is probably just jealous that they don’t have the self-confidence to rock a shark lunchbox at 25.

So like. Being “mature” and “an adult” doesn’t mean you have to completely abandon the things that made you happy when you were younger. It just means that you may have to approach them in a different way.

Pay attention, there’s a lesson here

I hesitated reblogging this, and I am not entirely sure why.

bitemebat

LEGO. I just turned 42 and I have LEGO sets allllll over my house. Why? Because I wanted them, and because it is my money and I will spend it how I like, MOTHER.

As long as you aren’t bankrupting yourself, buy the things you *want* to buy, the things that bring you JOY.

you are missing out on so much if you just stick to “adult things”

I’m turning 26 in May and back in December I bought a set of gel pens on a whim. We could never afford them when I was a kid and they weren’t in my budget that month but I wanted them so I spent $6 and bought them.

Best. Decision. EVER. I write with gel pens exclusively now and I have no regrets. I love picking a new color when I write. I feel so much joy choosing between glitter, metallic, neon, and pastel pens.

Let yourself be happy. There’s no right way to be an adult.

Get yourself the things you wanted as a child but never could have.

slytherkins

“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

At one point in second year uni I found myself watching Rolie Polie Olie: The Great Defenders of Fun with a glass of irish whiskey in hand. Also watching things I haven’t seen since childhood is super fun because now I get to understand a lot of the jokes that were slipped in for parents. That and nostalgia is a drug, dude.

There are few things in the world more fun than smoking a a joint alone and watching Cars. Cars is fucking wonderful. Cars 2 is wonderful. Cars 3 is tolerable. Most Pixar movies are great for this but Cars is the best.

Fernando Alonso car from the Spanish localization, I didn't think he was real until I watched that version sober

Accidentally coming out to your family as bisexual via an international bestselling novel sure wasn’t what I had in mind, but nevertheless…

I almost confessed my love to a close friend by naming the main love interest after him. That could have been very awkward if it weren’t for find and replace on Google docs

My husband is playing DnD with some friends and told me to come look at the cat who is sitting in a chair like a person. My husband handed him a d20 and said “sir you have to roll a stealth check to convince the other party members you are a human” and the cat immediately batted the d20 and rolled a 14. The party cheered for him.

sandersstudies

The final human player joined the table and they brought out a whole extra chair so the cat could remain at the table. He’s now the party’s official Druid and just canonically in wildshape all the time and therefore unable to speak Common.

gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit

lotrlocked

Peaking early and feeling like an eternal failure ever since

Remembering what it felt like to be motivated and at the top of your game and you could do ten things at once and cared so much, but now it’s a struggle to keep up with anything

~depression~

~functional depression~ so you feel like you are faking it

Holding a mediocre job and feeling unfulfilled but feeling like you aren’t good enough to do anything else

Being book smart but struggles with social skills and communication with others.

Feeling like you are the worst person on earth for making a mistake or not knowing something

lookimtryingmybest

Also other students dismissing your efforts because you’re “smart”.

Also your family members dismissing your efforts because your “smart”.

Even some teachers do that.

Starting any project as early as possible and finish it really really fast but it's absolutely terrible and you are absolutely terrified of it that you can't bring yourself to at all make it better.

Or it's just me.
