*randomly materializes out of a murder of crows with a slurpee in my hand* hey guys what’s up?

[aroundmeblackbats]

*forty bats coalescing into an approximate human form, holding a gatorade* not much, how about you?

[prince-bully-koopa]

* 5 wolves make their presence known with a piercing how before joining in the circle. They clutter together, and take the form of a human with a iced coffee* ‘sup.

[catwithbenefits]

*emerges from the back exit of Dairy Queen to take out the garbage* uh.. uhhh.. m-my boss said y'all aren’t allowed to hang out back here…

[imadaily]

*A flurry of orange fur sweeps across the car park and rises from the ground, as they slow down the squirrels become visible shortly before becoming @lenle-g holding a mug of tea* “am I late?” 

[sexhaver]

im so fucking tired of people who look at robotics companies taking military contracts to design ways to blow up brown people with minimal effort and then get scared of like… some underwater maintenance robot that looks like a snake? someone using the name “Skynet” as a joke? im so tired

[sexhaver]

if you’re more concerned about some abstract concept of a “machine uprising” than the fact that there are drones dropping bombs in the middle east right now then your politics and understanding of robotics both suck

Happy Halloween! 👻 I posted my 20 best horror stories to Imgur (including 2 unreleased pieces)!

Ominous pigeon knows your secrets

[danatwila]

Ominous pigeon better keep his mouth shut lol.

[burdnurd]

you wouldn’t say such things…if you knew what ominous pigeon knows

[sifrain]

“Ominous pigeon” is a redundant phrase. Pigeons are all ominous this one just ate radioactive candy

[burdnurd]

yes. #ALLPigeons. normal. yes.

[skeletalcarousel]

Three eyed pigeon deserves a t-shirt design.

[burdnurd]

ominous pigeon could know your closet’s secrets as well?

Here’s an invaluable writing resource for you.

Was looking for this information just yesterday. Thanks so much.

Deep Frog

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

do you think this is what lovecraft meant whenever he described something as being beyond description

[naidje-deactivated]

“It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.”

— H. P. Lovecraft,

At the Mountains of Madness

[space-lord-joe-kewl]

This.. actually makes a fine reference to what a lovecraftian eldritch abomination SHOULD BE. not just.. tentacles and darkness. Perpetually changing, not cemented in form, with an otherworldly feel to it. Completely unrecognizable by most human descriptions, and only able to be viable perceived by those fine enough to be an adept wordsmith.

[canofstars]

I think that this is very nearly an ideal representation of a lovecraftian eldritch horror, because the video that we see is (I’m fairly certain) footage that has been fed through Google deep dream.

The reason the frog looks so weird is because the program is trying to look at the frog, figure out what it is, and then overlay other images of the same thing.

The the thing about lovecraftian horrors issn’t just that they look conventionally weird or gross or scary. Instead, they are things that are so utterly alien that the human mind cannot properly comprehend what it is looking at. They defy description because they defy understanding.

And here we have a video of a computer, a simple silicon substitute for the human mind, struggling to understand what it is looking at, in much the same way that you would be hard pressed to understand a shoggoth.

Kent Rogowski: Love = Love, 2006-2008

Love=Love is a series of collages that were created using pieces of over 60 store bought puzzles. Although puzzle pieces are unique, and can only fit into one place within a puzzle, they are sometimes interchangeable within a brand. These puzzles were cut using the same die, but depict unrelated images. Using only the flowers and skies from each of the puzzles, I created a series of entirely new compositions by recombining the puzzle pieces. These spectacular, fantastical and surreal landscapes sit in direct contrast to the banal and bucolic images of the original puzzles. (artist statement)

Thought I’d share this 3-dimensional dungeon I made for my game. My players got to see it this week, and I’m excited for them to explore it.

@motherf-ckingbearshark Do your plans involve a map like this?!? It looks space-y :D  @lenle-g A couple of weeks ago I gave Jon enough foam to build... probably one of these but 5-10x bigger XD

The goatpocalypse is upon us. (via KTVBJoe)

[morathor]

Updates have since come on this subject; we now know where the goats came from and I gotta tell you, it is better than you could possibly imagine.  See.

These goats got loose from a goat rental service.

You may be thinking, who rents a goat?  Who rents a hundred goats?  What are they for?

They’re for eating.

Specifically, they’re for eating unwanted, flammable vegetation that can contribute to the spread of wildfires.  Some people whose property tends to grow such vegetation, keep their own goats.  But for some people it works out better to just rent some goats.

So.

These are Professional Eating Goats.  They are trained to thoroughly and methodically scour an area of plantlife.  And they came to the suburbs.

And they did their jobs.

I’m so proud of them.

Modern birds are descended from dinosaurs.

Therefore modern rubber duckies are descendants of those hollow mouth-agape cheap toy dinosaurs.

Toy researchers are left only with theories as to how ‘missing link’ may have appeared, but new data is uncovered every day.

[cheetahtrout]

This is genious

[cheetahtrout]

doodled my own take on the rubbery matter.

[connorricks]

Wonderfully done and well researched. An illustration worthy of a museum exhibit!

[debrides]

I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.

[lesbirdan]

I’m glad there’s a teacher version of “accidentally called teacher ‘mom’”

[hermionegranger]

when I worked at Medieval Times occasionally I would slip in real life and call people “my lord”

[mugsandpugs1-deactivated2019010]

One time during family prayer, dad began: “our father who art in heaven, American Airlines, how can I help you?”

[thomrainierskies]

One time my dad went to the White Castle drive-thru and the lady (who was supposed to say ‘Welcome to White Castle, what’s your crave?’) asked, “Welcome to White Castle, what’s your problem?”

She apologized profusely while my dad proceeded to lose his shit laughing.

[mirab3lle]

Yesterday I went to Wendy’s and the girl said “Welcome to McDonalds” and then just sighed

[icouldwritebooks]

Somebody in the elevator asked me what floor I lived on, and I answered “please open your books to page eight”, and we just kind of stared at each other, blinking.

[crimeronan]

i work retail full time and my script gets frequently messy - ill ask the same question twice, or say “$2.60 is your total” while handing back their change, or say “how are you doing today?” instead of “have a good day!” like name it ive bungled it

but anyway, this lady came thru my line buying a book and the review on the front said: “few books are well written, fewer still are important, and this book manages to be both”

as i handed her the bag i was trying to say “thanks, youre all set” and instead my brain mashed up the review and i said “thanks, youre important”

there was this short pause in which i tried to figure out what the fuck id just said. she blinked and then said “oh thank you! youre important too!”

the real kicker was one of my coworkers. when i was relating this story later his response was “at least you said something NICE. last week i accidentally combined ‘youre welcome’ and ‘no problem’ into ‘youre a problem’”

[agrestenoir]

one time, since I used to work as a daycare teacher with preschoolers, i was on my college campus in my gym, and someone was running in the weight room and tripped over a machine and fell, and instead of offering to help, I just stared and said, “This is why we use our walking feet.” we both sat there for a while until the guy nodded and said, “yeah, okay, i should’ve done that.”

[gin-and-eschatonic]

I’ve spent a good chunk of time working in kitchens, so I still will reflexively say shit like “behind” and “coming around” as I maneuver through spaces and around people.

Which, actually, not such a bad thing; I’m a big guy and can come across as imposing pretty easily. The position calls can help defuse that, and also help avoid collisions.

Less good is the time my brain was half functional and I let slip a “coming with a knife” while grocery shopping. THAT took some explaining.

[harold-theyre-thespians]

I work in an office and send tens of emails to customers every day. Once my mum asked me to send her a train ticket I had bought for her. I emailed her “Hello mum, as agreed, please find attached the ticked you requested. Thanks, Alex”

[narwhalsarefalling]

i worked as a camp counselor, and i would have the kids tap somewhere on my legs if they needed something because im a pretty tall dude. today asked my cat if he needed something.

[wren-likethe-bird]

I have woken up in a cold sweat saying “is that for here or to go?”

[la-mancha-screwjob]

Every time a friend thanks me, and I respond with “gladly” or “my pleasure”, I die completely 1000% inside

[fair-itself]

I work at a plasma donation center. When processing donors, we call them by name, they walk up to the counter, and then we ask for their name and donor number. One time, instead of saying “Robert” I hollered “Name and donor number!?” into a full waiting room. Three people started announcing their names and donor numbers before we all realized that I fucked up.

[maplefiasco]

In college, I was a barista at Borders (remember Borders, you guys?!) I once drove through Taco Bell on my way home after a shift. When the cashier said, “okay, that’ll be $5.46!” I cheerfully responded, “Do you have a Borders rewards card?”

[iamthatbeast]

I have dealt with so many difficult customers over the years that I used to angrily call my dog “Sir” when I was mad at him.

[widonotts]

My first job was at my nearest Panera, and after coming home from a ten-hour Sunday morning shift, I was exhausted; but when my mom called me to come downstairs, instead of replying in the grumpy teenagerish tone I usually would, I said in my cheeriest, fakest voice, “Not a problem at all, let me just check with my manager!” before realizing my mistake.

[artwlw]

my coworker went to back up the cash registers one time and she had been at customer service right before. when we finish with a customer we have to sometimes get the attention of the next person and will shout “i can get the next person in line!” but instead of saying that she yelled “HI WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH” to everyone in the general area

[youlovelucie]

I have told my dog “no thank you” so many times after working at a preschool

[spacecores]

a couple of times i’ve gotten stuck in a hello how are you good how are you good how are you loop with an equally tired Fred Meyer’s cashier after a long shift but the best time was after a 10 to 10 post-holidays after they told me my total, I asked if they would like a bag today and after a confused few seconds they were like, “no… I have the bags”

[thebritishteapot]

Worked in a gallery where we asked people to take off their backpacks in order not to accidentally damage paintings. So when I went to the shop later and saw a guy in the line in front of me, I told him he had to remove his backpack. He probably thought I was politely trying to rob him.

[bleekay]

once a guy at the Chick-fil-A drive thru gave me my food and then said “you’re a beautiful day” and then I watched his entire face in slow motion morph into the most embarrassed cringe… meanwhile I am very delighted and most definitely feel like a beautiful day, thank u drive thru dude

[swankkat-deactivated20230101]

I have not been a 911 Dispatcher since September. I still try to answer the phones at my new job with “(City Name) Police Department, is this an emergency?” I work in medical sales and service now. You betcha people on the other end just pause confusedly for a moment before slowly saying, “Nooooooo….”

[fierceawakening]

If someone told me I was a beautiful day I would probably have a beautiful day.

[colt-kun]

Oh god the things I’ve said after working at Disney World (for 9 years)

“Have a magical day” still comes out and I just… pretend it didn’t happen

But when I said “Bonjour and welcome to Maurice’s Workshop” at my job in the LIBRARY I wanted to die
