I think it'd be pretty funny if the next time an adult tells me I'm being Rude And Disrespectful™ I just went "ya it's because I don't respect you" and watch the gates of hell open before me

[tlirsgender]

Telling a boomer they're not automatically entitled to my respect just to feel something

COMPLETION

[adulthoodisokay]

yooo WHAT

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Well my week has been exciting so far.

[neat-deadandlive-things]

I had some other work to do this morning (Figuring out some algae stuff involving 1000 L mesocosm up a mountain) so mystery species has been sitting alone in the lab all morning…..

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Made it up to the lab today to find this. It’s probably from the fridge defrosting and not the creepy “algae”.

[neat-deadandlive-things]

June 13th Update.

According to a few colleagues it’s either a plant, an algae, or a fungi. So that’s been helpful.

After a day with some sunlight I think I might be seeing some chloroplasts.

It seems to like the nutrient solution I added yesterday though!

[lynati]

I for one welcome our new plant, algae, or fungi overlords.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I was about to say “in a sensible lab people wouldn’t waste time with this, they’d autoclave the bottles and move on” but on reflection I can’t think of a single bio lab I’ve been in that wouldn’t immediately go “ooh, mystery algae, that sounds like a fun challenge; let’s devote multiple hours to identifying it for no reason”.

[kit6]

I need updates tell me about the algae

[neat-deadandlive-things]

The mystery algae/plant/fungi/alien is stuck in the university growth chamber. With everything going on I probably won’t get to check in on it until September, possibly not until 2021.

[howieduet]

So by that time it will have developed what, writing?

[neat-deadandlive-things]

God I hope so, then I can train it to write my thesis!

[alexaloraetheris]

This entire post is the most on-brand biologist thing I have seen in my entire godforsaken life. The moment this pandemic is over these guys have another crisis ready for us.

[lucky-182]

Can we get an update cause this is crazy

[neat-deadandlive-things]

Update: Due to the global pandemic, the algae has been left alone in a weird hidden growth chamber for a year and will likely stay there for another year. Enjoy that information!

Encounter: security sentries outside the lair of a particularly unhinged villain

[ingridverse]

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize,  snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?

Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word “finally”. 

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

This explains a lot about my lack of asking for help when I clearly need it

[mctreeleth]

Don't forget the fact that asking for help carries the risk of someone expressing mild disappointment in your inabilities, which will cause you to shut down for 5 to 7 working days.

why do Tinamou eggs look like that. i want to eat them whole 

[mellifexfarm]

im going to swallow these like a snake

[gallusrostromegalus]

I was seized with a primal need to know what this bird looks like and I’m not sure what I was expecting but:

I am EXTREMELY pleased with everything about this animal.

shoutout to that time at work I told a college dude automatically “fantastic!” when he put his card in the chip reader correctly (bc I find complimenting customers on it makes them Do It Again Right The Next Time) and he returned way later saying “I’ve been chasing that high of hearing you call me fantastic for like a week now” 

[notoriousmasc]

so apparently my city has a superhero. and a supervillain. who like, do activism. and. my mom. is dating the supervillain.

[notoriousmasc]

i live in norfolk virginia, and there’s this guy called the black widow who lives here

he does operate kind of like a real superhero, and he stops car break-ins and stuff like that! apparently he even stopped a case of domestic violence once. i don’t know if a lot of people know he exists, but he definitely seems like a nice dude, and he has a lot of articles centered around him

but. there’s also a supervillain?

this is Man Man, founder of “AdaManMantium inc.” He is both legally and occupationally a supervillain. that’s not even a joke he has actual paperwork designating himself as a supervillain. he even has a business card

Man Man is pretty obsessed with “testing” the black widow in a lot of different ways. like. man man threatened to give his (man man’s) cat to a kill shelter if the black widow didn’t solve a riddle he gave him (whether he actually did it or not i have no idea)

and he also got 35 people to donate blood once the black widow solved ANOTHER riddle which was cool, and there was also this time where he went to a gay bar and told people that if they bought drinks he’d send the equivalent of the money they spent to the westboro baptist church (but since they refused he sent them to a charity)

one of his more recent schemes included… going to the mayor of the city and trying to get him to outlaw masks.

the reason im telling this to you. is because

my mom is dating man man?

blocked out the private stuff but you can definitely see that its the same guy (and also him cosplaying as. Him.)

my mom has always had questionable taste in men (she had a crush on onision a while ago) but like. she’s dating an actual supervillain now which i think is fucking hysterical

so basically. tl;dr. my town has superheroes and supervillains in it and my mom has decided to date a supervillain

[notoriousmasc]

update: theyre engaged

[theawkwardvirgin]

Black Widow has a billboard and runs around with batons.
