Greetings!

Hi there! I’m a 31 year old gal from Houston. I love my wife, our cats, and revisiting my trash nest here.

Earth’s Rotation Visualized in a Timelapse of the Milky Way Galaxy by Aryeh Nirenberg

[akiyty]

[drst]

This messed me up.

[bestie-gor]

We really do just be on a rock without a fucking clue huh

[weaselle]

everybody thinks of the earth spinning, and then maybe they think about how we’re traveling in a circle around the sun.

but we’re not

because the sun is traveling through space too

so what the earth is actually doing is this

and that line the sun is making is actually its 225 million year orbit around the center of the galaxy, and our galaxy itself is moving through space, so our sun is actually doing its own version of that crazy earth orbit corkscrew up there too. We’re all dancing an insane helix made of helixes through the universe at a speed of about 1.5 million miles per hour

i know i talk about pokemon go a lot but like. the summer of 2016 where pokemon go was released? i’ve never seen anything like it in my life. shit was absolutely insane

[askinnyblackman]

i gave my phone to a stranger who jumped a fence to get a clefairy that was in a restricted area

[riversongandthedaysthatnevercame]

I had a baby that summer and all the pictures we took of him for two whole months include a pokemon

all of them. are. like. this

"i would die for you" this, "i'd walk through fire for you that"

what about "i'd live for you" romances? what about "i never thought i'd be worth the work it would take to piece myself together"?

what about "i don't believe i'm worth it, but for you i'll try"

[lynati]

and what about, "I'd do my share of household chores without acting like it's a favor for you"? What about "I'll act like I have respect for your opinions and autonomy, because I genuinely *do* have respect for you"?

Theatrical offers that are unlikely to ever be tested IRL are less valuable than what you bring to the table in day to day life. The things that you still are as a person, the things you still can do, even when you feel broken.

Give not just living *for* someone instead of being willing to die for them, but showing that you can live *alongside* them, a try. You'll get better results for that approach- and you'll do better at it than you think.

All the little things you have to offer that you feel aren't worth mentioning because they don't seem impressive enough? Their value will be appreciated more than any sweeping gesture.

what does it say about us as a culture that most of our microwaves have a dedicated popcorn button

[cognito-ergo-hazard]

i dont know but whatever it says, its magnified by literally every bag of popcorn saying “don’t use the popcorn button”

[prokopetz]

Funnily enough, there’s an answer for that.

In brief, the “popcorn” button was initially introduced by fancy high-end microwaves that used an integrated humidity sensor to tell when your popcorn was done; microwaveable popcorn vents steam as it cooks, so by monitoring the amount of steam in the cooking chamber, you can get pretty close to perfectly popped popcorn every time (though it’s generally only pretty close, since different brands of microwaveable popcorn have different moisture content).

As the feature became popular, manufacturers of cheap microwaves started adding a button labelled “popcorn” as well, in order to imply that they offer this feature. These “popcorn” buttons simply run the microwave for a fixed amount of time that the manufacturer figures is close enough to the printed cooking time of most commercial brands.

In practice, of course, the fixed-time “popcorn” button usually just sets your popcorn on fire. To make matters worse, owing to America’s permissive advertising laws, microwave manufacturers are allowed to make all sorts of misleading-but-technically-true statements in their packaging and instruction manuals, rendering it nearly impossible to tell whether a given model of microwave has a real humidity-sensing “popcorn” button or a fake fixed-time “popcorn” button before buying it.

In summary: the “popcorn” button that your microwave popcorn instructs you not to use exists because American microwave manufacturers are using a misleadingly labelled button in order to imply that their product has a feature that it does not in fact have, in a way that can potentially trick people into burning their houses down, for advertising purposes. This is perfectly legal.

So: what does that say about our culture?

[marauders4evr]

I keep seeing posts that are like:

Person #1: *Meme about breaking news* Person #2: I can’t keep learning the news like this. Person #3: If you’re going to a circus, expect to see clowns.

But the thing is, sure, everyone on tumblr expects to see clowns.

What we don’t expect is for the clowns to do this:

And this has been the exact energy of this website for months.

honey is the only food product that never spoils. there are pots of honey that are over five thousand years old and still completely edible

[lesbianshepard]

i also want to point out we know it tastes the same even after thousands of years b/c archaeologists who discovered two thousand year old honey tasted it. presumably right after they looked at each other and went “what the hell here goes nothing”

I’m pretty sure they also identify human remains by taste. Archaeologists are straight up freaks.

[notaflippinmermaid]

No, no no… you identify bone from rock or other substances by touching it to your tongue. If it sticks, it’s bone. The taste itself has nothing to do with it. And most archaeologists won’t lick human bones if they know they’re human.

…and I realize that doesn’t actually do much to prove archaeologists aren’t freaks.

[midnightmindcave]

mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone

[dinosauriaawesome]

I’m sitting with a bunch of archaeologists and we just laughed so hard we CRIED we’re getting tshirts with this on them

[thesaltofcarthage]

I will never ever get tired of seeing bredlik poems. It is really one of the seminal art forms of the century. I am not being sarcastic.

The Terror: Infamy - 2x10 - “Did something happen tonight? In the war?”

[peppapigvevo]

the dawning realization of this gif set is so chilling

[booasaur]

Another thing they did was in the ending credits, they put the cast and crew alongside pics of their ancestors during the war, some who served, some who were interred in American camps, some who were both. So for example, the lead actor, Derek Mio:

Marcus Toji, who played an interpreter in the show:

The director, Lily Mariye:

There were others too, but the actors in the scene giffed above? George Takei and Sab Shimono? They were in camps themselves.

When I read Hiroshima I felt like I knew where this was going, but the last gif still made my heart stop for just a moment
