Who needs a mouse when you have a desk weasel. [source]

I love how it looks like it’s just existing at several frames faster than the human hand

I love that lil face <3

Romans will see a mouse and eat it

[a-wild-haggis]

my trusty old mouse finally died and i don't think i like this new mouse as much. :(

an underrated vader personality trait is his unhinged sense of humor

[intermundia]

a little wordplay with his swordplay, he's toying with them like a cat bats around a mouse before eating it

there's nothing more sinister to me than the idea of anakin smiling as he says this, like if lightsabers didn't cauterize he would be absolutely soaked in blood by this point

such a classic, peace to pieces, i'd say it's almost a dad joke, which is apropos, as he is almost a father :/

A Tiktok by @bananna_k

The person behind the camera is talking to someone sat at a computer wearing a headset and using the mouse and keyboard. Camera person says, “Hey, I need you to roll this.”

They hand over a blue and white marbled D20.

Computer person: What?

Camera person: I need you to roll this.

Computer person: What for?

Camera person: Just roll

The computer person rolls the dice on the desk. It lands on a 9.

Computer person: 9

Camera person: She rolled a nat 20 for her initiative

Camera pans round to behind the computer screen showing a brown and white medium to large dog with a knife in her jaws.

The computer person pulls a sword apparently out of nowhere and yells, “Come at me.”

The dog barks twice, “Woof woof,” as she lunges at the computer person who screams loudly and reminiscent of the Wilhelm Scream. Arghhh.

where's that meme photo of the bedraggled mouse(?) and it's like "I get 4 hours of sleep and look at me I'm fresh"

[jellycaustic]

This one?

YEAH BLESS YOU

A MOUSE BAR DURING PROHIBITION WOULD BE CALLED A SQUEAKEASY!!!

[snoopyisbisexual]

this came to me in a vision btw. the vision was of a little mouse bartender yelling, "cheese it! it's the cops!" and all the little mice flipping the bar and turning it into a fromagerie.

I love a building with a big atrium. oh that's neat you got some outside in here

[dragon-in-a-fez]

just saw a girl wearing two broken smartwatches on the same wrist. some kind of grunge scifi protagonist perhaps

[littlemisssyreid]

She must have a lot of time on her hands 😏

[tailsbot98761]

a broken watch is right twice a day, so if you have 2 broken watches you know the time at 4 times of the day, its genius

[dragon-in-a-fez]

guy you meet in an alley who knows what time it is 22 times a day:

I know it's unfair vilification and stuff but it's also a lot of fun to see old media and stuff where people were SO scared of big animals like lions, sharks, crocodiles and wolves were fully expected to just come and eat you the moment you stepped into their territory. In older media we also made that assumption about gorillas and in still older we thought it'd be whales. But some animals that will actually fuck you up got left behind. Boars will kill you and eat you. They're way more likely to do so than any of those other things actually. Hippos, obviously, got off like bandits always being depicted as cute and dopey. And then there's the squids. Not giant kraken size squids. The eight foot squids that hunt in packs and will fuck you up if you fall in the water at night. I can't BELIEVE people slept on that. It's like all they cared about were the huge deep sea ones we never see. The medium size wolf pack squids were right there.

[bogleech]

Oh some of you don't know about the squids. I talked about them in another thread that went kinda viral somewhere or other but one of the reasons you should not swim in the open ocean at night in many parts of the world is that the water starts teeming with these:

And as you can see it is not like instant death, they too are just animals and they are often just gently curious about the presence of humans! But people who study and dive with sharks will tell you you're safe as long as you stay calm and know what you're doing. The world's leading professional night divers and experts on these squids, specifically??? Stress in every interview and article and paper they write in that you simply do not fuck around with these squids. They know what they're doing and they still all have at least one story of being attacked, in some cases having to be hospitalized. Considering just how rarely anybody puts themselves in the pitch dark nighttime ocean on purpose, let alone during a squid feeding frenzy, it sounds like they're quite a bit more likely to consider you potential food than other marine predators. We also don't know how many fatal attacks might have ever happened, because what humboldt squid like to do with large prey is just drag it away into the darkness forever. The two worst attacks ever proven involved two or three squid at a time latching on to a diver (in BOTH cases they were professionals and knew the risk!) and jetting straight downward with enough force that both divers suffered injury from the sudden pressure change alone, including burst eardrums, nearly passed out and they probably would have died if they hadn't broken free. In general, people who die drowning in the dark open ocean are either never found, or they're found in pieces picked over by enough scavengers that the precise cause of death can only be narrowed down to "the sea." But now you know ONE of "the sea's" possible murder weapons :)

There's a short section on Humboldt squid in Wikipedia's entry for Cephalopod attacks on humans:

Cephalopod attack - Wikipedia

And if you can get past some of Animal Planet's hokey presentation style, this video includes a bit of interview with one of those professional experts who still got nearly squidded from existence:

There is of course some debate about all this, with some arguing that all proven documented attacks occurred on people with reflective diving equipment, which they say the squid must have mistaken for the shine of fish. However, there are lots and lots of people who have to fish around these squids to survive, who do not have access to that kind of equipment, and also have a consensus that if you fall in the water when big squids are out hunting you might disappear without a trace or perhaps just get your head bitten open. With many modern science guys agreeing with this sentiment, this is one case where the "they're just misunderstood sea friends" crowd is kind of outnumbered. The sea at night is theirs and not ours is all. It's not ours during the day either but since we are neither marine nor nocturnal animals we are double fools in the eyes of the squids, which by the way are these eyes:

No for real:

[my-ants-are-anxious]

Absolutely! Also, the Humboldt squid will hunt in packs, sometimes with one flashing brightly to draw attention while the others approach in near unseeable camoflage!

[bogleech]

Beautiful footage of the nefarious sea demons also :)

Also because I can't reblog every addition together:

Okay where's the other 1199

[spiralshellsreblogs]

I absolutely adore Humboldt squid. I saw a doc once where a scientist was cage diving to study them, and one of the squid squeezed it's entire massive body through the cage bars, bit the guy and squeezed right back out.

[bogleech]

Why isnt this an animal that's already long gone viral like honey badgers once did. This is the animal that actually gives no fucks. People really are just that obsessed with bigger squids I guess? But the bigger ones frankly come across as big softies in comparison. One big sea monster can never be as intimidating as a thousand coordinated man sized sea monsters.

This is why I thought that if mermaids had a cultural equivalent to lycanthropy it'd be weresquids. Fun fact nocturnal marine life increases activity on the brightest nights ie the full moon.

[lasrina]

This is all fascinating but I'm reblogging it exclusively for the phrase "got nearly squidded from existence."
