[chainmail-butch]

Hi, its me. The warmest creature in the world. I love you. Im the warmest creature in the world and I love you so much and I need to be in your lap right now. Yes, I know about the heat wave. That's okay though because I was already the warmest creature in the world so I don't mind. I love you and you need to let me sleep in your lap right now. I'm soooo warm and I love you sooo much. If you say no you'll be saying no to a thing that love you. Let me sleep in your lap. When I fall asleep I get warmer. I love you

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!

Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-

We need to conquer space travel for the only reason that zero-g would allow for new never before seen pastries, you know how the top of the muffin is the best part? Well that is because it is exposed to air so it changes the chemistry, in normal earth gravity it is impossible to make a muffin that is all top part because it needs to be placed somewhere which would restrict air flow, however in zero g it would be possible to make a bubble out of muffin dough which gets optimal airflow and becomes an all-top part muffin... This is the dream...

"You have improved," the swordmaster said.

"Thanks to my new sword," said the student.

The swordmaster studied the blade and frowned. "This is enchanted?"

"You know about cursed swords that whisper that you should kill?"

"Yes?"

"This tells me I'm loved and valid."

"Ah. Well. It's not wrong."

from a certain standpoint birdwatching is a sort of gacha

[shithowdy]

-reliant on RNG random encounters

-instills a deep sense of fomo

-seasonally-cycled releases

-becomes increasingly financially prohibitive the more you want to expand your list and/or document your encounters

-achieved goals sound meaningless to those not in the hobby

[shithowdy]

never give up!

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

Imagine a young regency era lady trying to write a polite enough break-up letter to a guy she's actually glad she doesn't have to marry since a better option showed up, but trying to make it sound less mean while still being honest. Showing the latest draft of the letter to a friend like "how do I make this nicer without sounding like I still want him" and the friend is like "no that's fine, sprinkle a few drops of water on it so it looks like you were crying while writing it."

And the other is like "Victoria what the shit that's fucked up, where did you learn that. It's brilliant. I will do it right away."

And the guy receives the letter while he happens to be hanging with a friend, and reads it aloud, voice trailing off as he starts to realise he's getting dumped. And noticing the few dainty droplets smudging the ink here and there, he frowns and licks one, going "Aha! Water! Georgia you venomous vixen, I had not imagined you would resort to such low and base trickery."

And his friend looks at him like dude why the fuck can you tell what genuine tear blots taste like.

If Ratatouille mechanics were real, there would be a whole market of businesses offering the services of operating rats to people who want them, and it'd be like how bees produce honey. People in the rat business would be so exhausted of having to explain over and over again that no, the rats aren't being exploited. If the rats didn't like how they're being treated, they would simply not return. There's no goddamn way to force a rat to be so passionate about playing the saxophone that they'll figure out how to puppeteer a human to do it for them. All that the business does is finding a way to put that specific rat in the hair of someone who's about to go on stage.

The cruelty of manhole covers is that by the time you're big and strong enough to lift one all the way off, you've also gotten old and wise enough to know that it's a bad idea to go check out what the sewers look like.

or you can be a biology student and look for bats in there

[homunculus-argument]

There's bats in there?
