The 'hyperspecific situations' polls are really once again highlighting that native English speakers tend to forget that 'foreign' doesn't mean 'non-English' or 'non-American'

"Did you watch a foreign language movie in the past three days?" Yeah I watched the foreign movie "The Martian" with foreign actor Matt Damon

This Alaskan parka is windproof, waterproof — and made from bear intestines | CBC News

It's waterproof. It's windproof. It's lightweight and durable. And it's made from the intestines of two bears, painstakingly cleaned and sew

I really wanted to know more about this, especially how the water proof stitching works. Here's more information on this project, and hopefully more in the future!

[tehnakki]

This is amazing! I need to make a note to play around with that water proof stitch technology soon.

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

Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.

Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.

Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.

When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.

Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.

Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.

As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.

His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."

Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.

Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

i have a story for you, tumblr. last year my coworkers and I were riding in a golf cart at a music festival passing out drinks to people, because the festival had been cancelled that day and everyone was trying to make the best of a bad situation. after some time we spot a guy on the other side of the road dressed as lord farquaad, walking alone. we yell, “LORD FARQUAAD! DO YOU WANT A DRINK??” dude yells an affirmative, walks into the road without looking, gets hit by a fucking car, and goes flying.

I really need you to picture a lord farquaad being dummy yeeted into the air by an incoming vehicle while a golf cart of inebriated, glitter and mud plastered coworkers are full-on horror movie screaming together. before we can even process this, lord farquaad gets up like 🤪 how bout that drink?? completely okay, utterly unphased, red hat and bob wig still locked the fuck in. we check on him several times, all talking over each other, and while he’s calmly and pleasantly assuring us he’s fine, he passes each one of us a tiny jesus figurine. he bestows a “god bless you all” and then resumes his jaunt, drink in hand.

after that we drove in total relieved hysterics, the kinda laughter that only happens when you narrowly avoided catastrophe. and i have NO idea if the driver that hit him even said a word because my entire consciousness in that moment was farquaad, there was only farquaad. I hope that he reads this one day and knows that he is STILL talked about and regarded as some sort of festival cryptid. we are blessed indeed

I def think everyone should carry a healthy amount of skepticism in an age where virality is often more prioritized than the truth but!! behold, a piece of my workplace’s holiday mailer. my coworker is the designer of this mailer and she included all sorts of references to our experiences in 2025. she was one of my coworkers on the golf cart with me and of course, included an ode to farquaad

sometimes magical and weird things do really happen

Not to post about The Mummy (1999) in 2026, but I mean if I am gonna then it's going to be on tumblr now isn't it?

Anyway do you think the writers realized that their sequel retcon of making Evie the reincarnation of the skeevy pharaoh's daughter in an effort to up the villainy factor of Imhotep and Ankh Su Namun also implies that it's, uh, pretty likely that Evie's past incarnation is the reason Imhotep became an apocalyptic undead horror in the first place?

I don't even mean that she's the reason the medjai probably knew that more people than just Ankh Su Namun murdered the pharaoh, though there is that, but like... the reason Imhotep become the titular Mummy and not just a very dead high priest, is because the ancient medjai executed him by sealing him alive inside a sarcophagus with flesh-eating scarabs and doing (presumably) a bunch of other stuff to ensure that he would be locked in eternal agony, which as a side-effect also guaranteed that if he ever got out he'd be... y'know. Still occupying his corpse and able to muster up high level dark magic and create sand storms and shit?

The first movie keeps it fairly ambiguous as to who gave the order for Imhotep to get the Curséd Revenant spa special, but like, it probably wasn't actually the medjai themselves who just up and chose it. They knew what it entailed and that it would mean that countless generations of them would have to guard this one tomb to make sure no one ever let Imhotep out, which just sounds impractical, to be honest. Especially when there are many other ways to fuck Imhotep's afterlife over and just be rid of him, even with torturing him a lot before he actually dies. This is Egyptian mythology (loosely), just deleting the sonofabitch would be an option. They could even still bury him alive if they want!

However, 'torture him for all eternity' does sound like the kind of shortsighted sentence that someone who really cared about the murdered pharaoh might ask for. Especially someone who might, additionally, feel some degree of guilt (perhaps for losing the deciding match on who would bodyguard their dad to one of his future murderers?) and be lashing out without much foresight to the whole "btw if we can't successfully guard this one tomb forever then we're all fucked" loophole. Like a rich person with a very skewed concept of scale and the practical requirements of tomb-guarding, for instance.

So yeah I think Nefertiri is the one who had the medjai curse Imhotep, which is the reason Imhotep becomes a Problem later, and also the reason why Evie is the one who has to release him (accidentally) and then resolve the issue (on purpose) and why Nefertiri got locked into a reincarnation cycle instead of just moving on to her own afterlife too. The ancient Egyptian gods were like, yeah nah, and yeeted her back to the world to live out countless lives until Imhotep's soul was either pacified or destroyed.

But also I'm pretty sure that layer of storytelling wasn't intentional. Whoops.

Honestly making new friends in my late 20s early 30s has in some ways been indistinguishable from dating except the courtship period is not romantic or sexual. I think people need to revisit the art of flirting in a friend way…like presenting your best self to a person and genuinely glowing when they return the gesture. And letting people influence and change you and getting excited when you have a chance to talk to them. That’s what makes getting to know someone fun in the first place…everyone in those advice threads about how to befriend people is basically describing how to have Coworkers not friends. “Go to a bar and hang out and start a conversation” you can do this but you have to follow up the first encounter with putting your best foot forward instead of just listlessly hoping for the social approval of the other party!!!!
