I’m Just A Funky, Little Lad

Do I draw? Yes. Will I be sharing it? No : ). I will simply keep my secrets but I will just blog about pretty art and newly acquired hyperfixation.

Things that aren't in the bible:

The serpent in the garden being Satan

Cain killing Abel with a stone

Jesus being a carpenter

Pestilence being one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse

Baby Moses being put in the river

Solomon speaking to animals

[charlesoberonn]

To clarify some stuff:

Moses is placed on the bank of the river. It's up to you if that counts as in the river, but the image of his basket being swept down the stream (such as seen in the movie Prince of Egypt) isn't in the bible.

Most translations do call Jesus a carpenter, but the original Greek uses the word 'tekton' which means craftsman. It can mean a carpenter, but I'm personally partial to Jesus being a stone mason.

Some more things that aren't in the bible:

The fruit of the tree of knowledge being an apple

The golden calf being a false god (it's specifically stated to be a representation of the God, using God's name)

The Exodus Pharaoh being called Ramses

Moses being Pharaoh's brother

[penrosesun]

Ooh to add to this:

Original Sin

The Immaculate Conception (note that this is not the same thing as the Virgin Birth, although people often confuse them)

Jonah getting swallowed by a whale (it was a fish, or possibly two fish)

Three wise men (there were three gifts and an unspecified number of wise men)

Anything indicating that Satan rules hell, that hell has multiple layers, or that there are specific punishments for specific sins

Any mention of leprosy aka Hansen's disease (the condition the Septuagint translates as λεπρός has completely different symptoms from the condition that came to be known as leprosy in English)

Isaac being a child during his near-sacrifice

And some Jewish specific ones for the Tanakh, because we can’t let Christians have all the fun:

Yitro converting to Judaism

Avraham smashing his father’s idols

Moshe having a stutter due to burning his mouth on hot coals

Miriam’s Well

Any mention of the lulav and etrog being shaken on Sukkot (Vayikra says to collect the Four Species, but nowhere in the written Tanakh are we actually told what to do with them)

Literally anything about Hanukkah (Sefer HaMakabim is not canonical)

I will always reblog this

[bradspace3000]

still remember how revolutionary this ad felt 10 years ago

[annesophiewashere]

excuse me but it still feels revolutionary

[stevviefox]

Keep reblogging until it feels normal everywhere.

For context: this came out in 2011 in Australia. Same-sex marriage would not be legalized until December 2017.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

This is still revolutionary.

I love that Jules Verne asked the question "What kind of person could circumnavigate the world in 80 days?" and decided that the answer was not a groundbreaking explorer or genius inventor, but a guy who's really, really, really obsessed with train and boat schedules.

[oqmemphis]

my final paper for my CS degree was literally "how can we algorithmically optimise for the fastest possible circumnavigation route on commercial flights?", which incidentally required me to adopt a very good working knowledge of what flight options are available at what times (and also led to me accidentally memorising several hundred airport codes)

[oqmemphis]

incidentally the fastest possible route seems to be about 51 hours, if you're working from 2022 schedules like i was. if you use current schedules and are very optimistic about how quickly you can transfer between flights, you can maybe get it down to around 48 hours (also known as 25 millivernes).

The very best thing about tumblr is that you can make a post about a 154-year-old novel and get responses like this.

*cry laughing* the little goading 'they made it better!'

That's the comment if someone who knows EXACTLY what button to push with someone else to get, 'i am going to castrate him tonight.' as a flat response.

A lot of companies that make things have two separate lines: consumer and enterprise. Consumer is for us poors that the company doesn't need to respect. You can buy more expensive, higher tier consumer items but it's just as fragile. You're paying for more bells and whistles. Enterprise grade is stuff that will actually last because it is often sold in a lot as part of a contract and the contract won't be renewed if the items suck. These things are often just not sold to consumers because why would you ever buy consumer-grade garbage if you could buy this?

For something like computers, this looks like how pricey "gAmiNG" laptops look all fancy but fall apart in about the same timeframe as the lower end laptops for students. But if you've ever handled the sort of laptops for banks or businesses, you'd wonder why laptops can't all be like this. People swear by Lenovo Thinkpads for a reason. Dell's Latitude (general productivity) and Precision (has the power of a gaming laptop but far less bs) lines, HP's probooks, all feel really nice and last for-fucking-ever. But you can't buy them in a store even if you wanted one.

So the trick is to buy what big organizations are buying, but you likely gotta get 'em secondhand when the orgs are done with them. For basic clothes, mil surplus might be a good port of call, for technology see an e-waste recycler or sometimes government auction (you just gotta know what to ask for; ThinkPads, Dell Latitude/Precision, HP Probook/Zbook). Otherwise try to thrift old, pre-enshitification items. The blanket I had as a kid is still going strong and has lived to bury multiple sets of newer bedding (which have worn thin and torn). Kitchen items, see if you can shop at a restaurant supplier.

TL;DR: if you need an item, think "which business needs these to function" and see where they 1) buy theirs (suppliers) or 2) sell their old ones (surplus) and buy that. If you can't do that, look at older, pre-enshitification things.
