Short pinned post. This blog is a shitpostmobile with no particular destination. I’ll post about anything in general. I want to engage with people some more so asks and messages are greatly appreciated. Thanks for bothering with me :)

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon

[tlirsgender]

It’s carbon it’s pretty and it didn’t involve slave labor what’s not to love??? Hi I’m having geology opinions tonight apparently. And I’m right

[tlirsgender]

There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don’t have the time to unpack all that

[val-ritz]

not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself “man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce”

[fuckyeahmineralogy]

We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.

[thegreenpea]

another very cool lab grown gem is Moissanite. It has a 9.25 on the mohs hardness scale where diamond is a 10. Moissanote also has a 2.69 refractive index in comparison to diamond’s 2.419 and here is the difference 

and the best thing about moissanite? It is all lab grown and it costs only a fraction of what diamond costs. So fuck the diamond indsutry and buy lab grown gems which cost significantly less

[rubixpsyche]

Also it’s just cool to think of some mad scientist lookin person doing shit against the law of the universe and making pretty gems for you. Like cmon. This shouldnt be allowed probably. But humans really be like on gOD i want some shiny an just started MAKIN em

[zathechaosgod]

for years people wanted alchemy, well now we have alchemy and we’re making gemstones out of it and suddenly “it doesn’t count” anymore

[catboybiologist]

Fun fact: the main way that gemstone experts are able to tell that a diamond is lab grown is that it’s too high quality, and also that lab grown and cut diamonds usually have a microscopic mark indicating them as such.

Its ridiculous in the modern day to go for “natural” diamonds.

Remember when memory foam first dropped how crazy hype it was

[peach-foxgloves]

No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.

the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!

anotha silent hill comic who is surprised!

[cryptotheism]

"Overthrow and kill the gods" is a fun premise but it only ever seems to be executed with a hackneyed "What if people could be racist towards robots" level of social commentary.

[cryptotheism]

Too many of these stories hit the embarrassing narrative pitfalls of "if we just kill the king bad guy everything will be fine." Or god forbid "Robot Martin Luther King Jr. Has solved racism forever."

This may come as a shock, but sometimes video games have bad writing.

[debatablyalive]

Every time someone posts about bad video game writing you can physically feel the presence of David Cage materializing

[turing-tested]

my air conditioner apparently has an app (?) and the fucked up thing is that they have these 'ai' options to generate.....recipes? so I took a photo of my fridge and this is what it um. came up with. why

why does my air conditioner do...this

[turing-tested]

Pepperoni milk soup fucking obliterated me

[letmebegaytodd]

i do enjoy in survival-esque escape-type movies when someone gets hurt and someone else is like “i can help, don’t worry i’m a doctor.” like. they’re probably not lying, but they totally could be

[letmebegaytodd]

just once i want the villain in the movie to be revealed as the person in the group who said they were a doctor and everyone had just taken them at their word because why the fuck would you lie about that

[letmebegaytodd]

i can’t believe all the bad luck and injuries that have befallen our little group. good thing we have Dr. Hedical Halpractice with us

[letmebegaytodd]

now THIS is a concept!

[letmebegaytodd]

Also, cannot stress enough that Dr. Hedical Halpractice does NOT have some sort of doctorate in an unaffiliated field like a fun switcheroo, he just LOVES lying and is a HUGE asshole

[letmebegaytodd]

okay!

[muppethole-deactivated20240312]

it's important to mock and belittle military and law enforcement to signal to others that these are not respectable professions, both to dissuade entry and to devalorize the institutions in the public eye

[lonelyphantom]

i will never risk saying this in an actual gaming server but I don't think constantly screaming out of anger when you're playing is good

[lonelyphantom]

if a game is making you so angry that you have to scream, dusturbing the whole house and distressing your teammates maybe close the game and go cool your head and i mean this in the nicest most literal way possible
