The Gay Butterfly Effect

in 2015, Sasha Belle, 2nd eliminated contestant on season 7 of RPDR, wore a visible black bra underneath a nude mesh bodysuit for a “nude illusion” runway challenge in the first episode of the season. the judges criticized her for this decision and she defended herself by stating that she “misunderstood the assignment.” as happens in gay culture, gays across the internet start using a variation of this phrase to praise certain artists, typically female popstars, for the quality of their work by stating they “understood the assignment.” inevitably, this bit of gay slang diffuses across the internet and starts being adopted by other gays, their hags, and non-hags who hear it from the gays and their hags. over a decade later, at the earliest dawn of the year of our lord 2026, i am watching jumanji on network television with my boyfriend and a commercial for a new “modern” bath installation company airs with the biracial millennial narrator stating that said bath company “understands the assignment.” And i ponder the diffusion of obscure inside jokes across culture and how the 6-figure advertising executives who wrote the commercial likely have no clue about Sasha belle’s dumbass and that fucking black bra

I like the idea in fantasy that humans are better at maintaining things long term because they set up societies or professions to do it whereas dwarves and elves and stuff are like “just get bob to do it he’s got a good few hundred years left” and then bob doesn’t teach anyone else how to do it

[what-even-is-thiss]

Elf: How have you kept this castle maintained for a thousand years if your lives are so short?

Human: We just train new people how to do it?

Elf: *gears visibly turning in their head*

Human: Are you alright?

Elf: I just realized that we didn’t have to let that whole city fall to ruin just because my grandfather died.

Human: What?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Human: Wait that’s why there’s ruins of elven cities even though you live for so long? You just keep not asking people how to do things? How do you learn anything?

Elf: There’s a lot of “you’ve got time to figure it out on your own” attitudes floating around in our society that I’m starting to question somewhat.

[unassimilatedsoul]

Elf: That sword, where did you get it?

Human: My cousin made it.

Elf: Impossible! Those metalworking techniques were lost a hundred years ago!

Human: What do you mean lost? My great-grandmother learned to make these swords from an elven smith, then taught it to her kids.

Elf: That's ridiculous. No elf would give such secrets to a human.

Human: They didn't. Meemaw delivered the metal to the forge, and no one kicked her out when she stayed and watched. She always said they barely acknowledged her even when doing business with her, like she wasn't worth noticing.

Elf: Come to think of it, my great-uncle always was rather single-minded when he started working.

Human: So he wasn't ignoring her, he just forgot she was there?

Elf: Oh, he was definitely ignoring her, too. He was super racist.

[maskysgirlfriendmoved-deactivat]

Scientists have just discovered some rocks at the bottom of the ocean can make oxygen... and they do it in complete darkness!

These aren’t magic stones, they’re polymetallic nodules, potato-sized metal lumps packed with manganese, cobalt, and nickel.

But here’s the twist; when seawater flows over their surfaces, they generate tiny electric currents that can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. No sunlight, no photosynthesis, just deep-sea chemistry creating breathable gas in the pitch black.

This “dark oxygen” could explain how deep-sea creatures survive in low-oxygen zones far from the surface. What's even wilder is that if this can happen on Earth, it could be happening right now in the hidden oceans of Europa or Enceladus, two icy moons that scientists think might host alien life.

[princesssarisa]

Saving this for world-building in a fantasy story with an enclosed underground living space that needs a source of oxygen.

Oxygen Produced in the Deep Sea Raises Questions about Extraterrestrial Life on Other Planets

BU researchers helped make startling discovery: rocks are generating “dark oxygen” in an area being explored for deep-sea mining

Big news, terraformers!

this isn’t what i normally post here but firefox just switched ceos and this “anthony” dumbass is trying to put more “ai” slopware into it, meaning more bloat and privacy loss
