i went to "mad at me" island expecting to find people i knew, something i understood. but when my boat landed, standing upon the shore were a million empty husks wearing my own face. every foot of the island was occupied, and everywhere i went, they watched me with contempt. they never spoke, never breathed. they simply watched. no matter how i grovelled and begged, snarled and cursed, tried to hide or kicked and hit, they simply stared. the hatred in their gaze was inescapable, but i could hardly return it, knowing that their doomed existence was of my own creation. knowing that the hatred was nobody's but my own. in the end i just wept, unable to stand the relentless gaze of my own infinite glare.

the guy who i accidentally cut off in traffic last week was there also

Stunning breakthrough: the platypus and echidnas came from the South Pole

Just when you thought Australia’s animals couldn’t get any weirder comes the astounding revelation that the ancestors of the platypus and ec

electroreception in monotremes is extremely old, 130 mya, and may have evolved to deal with hunting in the 3-6 month darks of the south pole forest.

echidnas may have evolved from a platypus like organism that became fully terrestrial, as evidenced by their flatter bill as embryos (and lack of echidna-like organisms in the fossil record past 2mya)

there was a 60 lb tree-climbing echidna in the pleistocene

powerscaling is a pretty asinine activity EXCEPT specifically in the case of sailor moon because the answer to “could X beat sailor moon in a fight” is no absolutely not without exception. the kinds of things usagi does in the latter parts of the series genuinely feel like infinity+1 schoolyard play. it rules.

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

there’s a famous thread on an old forum for power scaling discussions where the argument is conclusively made from textual evidence that not only does usagi beat the god emperor of mankind from 40K, she has powers that either correspond to & surpass or completely counter every single one of his canon abilities. she is simply number 1

I don't think people on the West Coast understand how much denser and multipolar the US is east of the Mississippi

[queer-as-city-folk]

[queer-as-city-folk]

The reason there are more train lines and proposals on the east coast is because there are more cities and people on the East Coast

The soil pH is also another major factor:

Because everything in that magenta area needs extra acid added to grow just about anything.

[ilikemarthajones]

Are we sure that's a pH map? Because pH goes from 0 to 14 (for soil purposes we're talking more 5 to 8 in most areas), so that's definitely not the right scale used on the map for it to be pH.

[rovermcfly]

The map is from this website and described as showing "Basic soils with pH > 7" so it's the percentage (from 0-100%) of the soil with a pH over 7

Loving the new counterpoint that not only is posting activism, not posting is complicity. Why doesn't everyone with any fame or internet presence immediately release a lengthy but perfectly-worded statement telling us where they stand on every issue? Is it because they're evil??? It must be because they're evil

And then the usual answer is "they don't post online very much". Which is all very suspicious, don't they know everything of importance is done by posts on social media now

[lizardsfromspace]

Okay I'm going to talk about this for the last time bc currently the stupidest manifestation of this I've ever seen is unfolding, and nothing can top it or explain this phenomenon better

So Amal Clooney was one of the lawyers who advised the ICC to charge Netanyahu with war crimes & issue an arrest warrant. But apparently there was already a backlash over her "not speaking up" which is already dumb, like, as far as I can tell she has no social media, but also she's a lawyer, she can't comment freely on cases, that could literally destroy the case

But she was trending bc people were saying she should be forgiven, for not posting. But also there are people adamant she not be forgiven. Because she should have spoken up sooner. Helping charge Benjamin Netanyahu with crimes against humanity is not good enough, she should have been posting, she needs to be held accountable for her lack of posting while she was, again, serving as a legal advisor on a international humans rights case against Benjamin Netanyahu.

Like when you're at the stage where people ask where a celebrity was, and the answer is "helping arrange an arrest warrant for Netanyahu", and your response is "why was she doing that instead of posting online" I really just have to conclude you think posting online is more important than anything else. Also that your online activism revolves around finding righteous ways to dislike celebrities you have entrenched parasocial relationships with that you rationalize by going "well I obsessively hate them so it's okay". But mostly the Posting Is More Important Than War Crimes Tribunals part
