Hey, what’s Winnie the pooh’s favorite color?
Yellow

You have no idea what you’re talking about

How do you know you're not Asexual? Maybe you just haven't met the right nobody.
The Great Unanswered Question:
What the hell happens to every country on the planet that isn’t the US in YA dystopias
#maybe all ya dystopian futures are just highly localised#and every other country is busy doing their thing#’do you think the US will be attending the olympics this year?’#’I don’t know; I think they still have that hell-portal open’#’I’ll put them down as a maybe’ (via archnemeton)
I found it!!!!! I have been looking for this on and off for 3 months.
Every day I think about THIS POST.
oh no
everyone else stopped the zombie apocalypse on the beginning because they all have universal healthcare and now they’re just sorta watching the USA with interest and mild horror
the rest of the world, who came together in peace immediately after the outbreak to stop the zombie apocalypse cause “we don’t want another corona virus: hey do you,,, do you guys the the USA is okay
the US: *screaming, blood is everywhere, people are begging for it to be over, wars everywhere, basically that one episode in supernatural season five with the Croatoan virus*
the rest of the world: *glances at each other*
the rest of the world: yeah they’ll be fine
just something i whipped up for pride month. youre welcome gay community

went to a new optometrist today wearing my squid facts ‘save our freaks dont mine the deep’ shirt from @sarahmackattack that has a strawberry squid on it. and i wasn’t even thinking about it but the optometrist walked in and he was like ‘oh what does your shirt say’ so i showed him and he was like ‘oh that’s neat!’ and then i thought he might like to know about strawberry squid eyes since they have weird eyes and he is an optometrist and all. so i was like ‘yeah it’s actually a real kind of squid called a strawberry squid, their eyes are really cool because they have one big yellow-green one and one small blue one’ and he kind of gasped and went ‘oh my god that’s so interesting i wonder why they have that. do you know what their retina composition is like?’ and i watched as he minimized my chart on the computer and started looking up images of strawberry squid and then he googled ‘strawberry squid retina composition’ and he was like ‘sorry we’ll get to your eye exam in a moment i just really want to find out’ LMAO 10/10 optometrist experience will be returning
My sister-in-law (husband’s sister) was supposed to get married this fall but due to some immature/concerning behavior by her fiancé, the wedding and engagement were called off. (I don’t want to be too specific, but there were sudden red flags, followed by his sudden decision that he wanted to postpone the wedding months or years despite the fact that most of it was paid for already).
I explained the delicate situation to my mom, as my sister-in-law is letting the news get out by word-of-mouth from the immediate family rather than an awkward “unsave-the-date”. My mom obviously told my own family.
Apparently my dad was so angry by the behavior of this guy that in the lunchroom at work he made everybody listen to the whole story (censoring names and identifying details) and said “I’m not crazy, right? This guy sucks!” And then reported back to me all his different coworkers that agreed this guy sucks, as well as their variety of ages/genders to indicate widespread consensus.

I wasn’t sure if my vibes about this post would come across over text but you all picked up exactly what I was putting down.
Evil wizard tasteful pin-up magazine but it's all photos of like, skinny old goths coyly fingering cursed amulets, long-bearded sorcerers doing the 'oopsie' pose as their corrosive destruction spell destroys enough of their own robes to show some skin, naked desiccated lich king positioning his staff of human skulls just so it leaves something to the imagination, dark knights in full armor just holding their soul-eating blades out in front of their codpieces, orc chieftain who did not understand the assignment and is posing with a monster he killed like one of those guys-with-fish photos. Or maybe he DID understand the assignment. Hmm.
@evilwizard are you in that?
i should sell this
So logically Superman has the krypton version of muscle atrophy right so like anyways I know that he’s super buff for aesthetic comic book reasons but I feel like he ought to be like really frail looking
Man who collapses into a puddle when exposed to a normal atmosphere and gravity for his species should not have biceps that size is all I’m saying
What if that superhero outfit is padded with fake muscles like they are in the movies
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

Reblogging for reasons both personal and otherwise
modern media in a nutshell
This, but also the sheer number of readers who seem unable to read between the lines, apply context, or do even basic analysis makes it feel almost necessary. I can’t tell you how many times, even in my own experience, I’ve left something intentionally vague or implied only to get dozens of questions asking for clarification or completely missing the point. The clues are there in the context and through the narrative itself, but a lot of people either don’t pick up on them or don’t trust their own interpretation enough to draw conclusions. Now apply that to published works with thousands of readers.
It literally kills me inside how some people NEED to be told literally everything. Not even just in books and fanfiction or other sorts of media like movies and anime.
This happens even with kpop idols talking about every day stuff.
“But what does _ mean tho?”
Respectfully in the most unrespectful way, use your brain. Think for yourself! Think about stuff! Let them sit in your brain and come to your OWN conclusions.
We’re drowning in content, there’s no time for reflection or analysis, just give it to me big loud lurid and unambiguous so I can guzzle it down and move onto my next distraction without missing a moment of stimulation. I don’t want thoughtful or challenging just engage my sleep-deprived sugar-charged stress-fried awareness with something so predictable and obvious I can consume without effort or self-reflection. Burp.

I'm sorry I keep posting my tiktok comments but please. What does this mean. What do people THINK shipping is for anymore???
AO3 authors in the lab creating ships purely for research purposes:
Creating ships for the tax write-off
Creating ships to get that fucking whale.
creating ships to wedge into the Suez canal and disrupt global shipping
Creating ships to beat the RMS Queen Mary's prewar eastbound transatlantic speed record
Creating ships to rescue the schoolboy castaways on ‘Ata Island.
If the Globetrotters played soccer instead of basketball
holy shit I just discovered this crazy technique for being right almost all of the time it's called "double checking something before boldly stating it as if it were fact" this could be the next big thing. this could be the song of the summer
