I was home sick that day from school. I was in the 7th grade watching crappy daytime tv when the news came on all the stations.
Sorry to say, but they do the exact same thing for humans too.
It’s amazing how people in the notes and comments are absolutely FURIOUS at me for the included Frozen comparison. Special shout out to everyone trying to prove that real people look like this.
Not to mention that when people edit these characters to have better facial proportions, the originals look like bizarre fish people.
How humans draw themselves is always fascinating to me
op why are you speaking like you aren’t human i’m scared
Eh…perhaps read my blog description.
this post has EVERYTHING
I think I know the reason for why people prefer “unrealistic” animation.
For some reason, humans really don’t like things that look like humans but aren’t quite human. Hence why a lot of people are uncomfortable with movies with animation like Monster House and The Polar Express. It looks too realistic to us and sets us off.
Scientists call this the “Uncanny Valley” effect and its thought to be an evolutionary tactic for survival.
The funny part is. No other animals that we know of experience the uncanny valley effect. Only humans. Which leaves the question: what was out there that mimicked humans so well and was so dangerous to us that we evolved to have this as a tactic for survival?
Oh hell yeah this is what I’m here for

Okay, I’ve seen this thread a dozen times before, but not with this addendum.
i made the original post in the throes of unmedicated depression because that’s where my sense of humor was at the time. i don’t check my activity page. seeing it barge onto my dash months later with +250k notes and this exchange attached to it like a bunch of rattling tin cans attached to the tail of a rabid dog running loose is fucking WILD
So sometime after whenever humans developed the uncanny valley effect, did we just hunt this mysterious predator to extinction? Or did it die out on it’s own? Or did it evolve as well into something… else? Could it still be living on Earth today?
Idk why dont we ask the “people eating cryptid” who claims to be from a species that’s easy to hide and apparently passes as human who’s like, 3 reblogs above this?
Hey fun fact;
Back when Homo sapiens weren’t the end-all of hominids, we also had some other two legged “humanish” cousins like the Neanderthals, Denisovians, and more!
There were nine different species of “humans”
By 10,000 years ago, they were all gone. The disappearance of these other species resembles a mass extinction. But there’s no obvious environmental catastrophe – volcanic eruptions, climate change, asteroid impact – driving it.
Instead, the extinctions’ timing suggests they were caused by the spread of a new species, evolving 260,000-350,000 years ago in Southern Africa: Homo sapiens.
Neanderthal skeletons show patterns of trauma consistent with warfare.
Like language or tool use, a capacity for and tendency to engage in genocide is arguably an intrinsic, instinctive part of human nature.
Optimists have painted early hunter-gatherers as peaceful, noble savages, and have argued that our culture, not our nature, creates violence. But field studies, historical accounts, and archaeology all show that war in primitive cultures was intense, pervasive and lethal.
Basically: the reason we as Homo Sapians find other human-ish figures unsettling and have an instinctual fear/aggression response called “The Uncanny Valley” is because we literally TOOK OVER THE WORLD by hunting down and killing every other hominid on the planet.
Dunno if the “9 species of hominid genocide” was a result of uncanny valley or the cause of it, but it’s a pretty sure bet to guess they’re linked.

This is a wonderful post.

Merge Dragons anyone?
I know I’ve been away for a while and I hope to fit in some time to post some content.
But I’m the mean while how about adding me on Merge Dragons?

See you there!
sometimes they don’t love you, they love how you love them. read that again.
Update,
I don’t think I had another seizure. After I finished typing to turned my focus on the noises in the house. Sometimes when I focus really hard I won’t have one. Other times it doesn’t work. Another way I can avoid having a seizure is talking to someone. I think that’s why typing last night even though it hurt my head because of the migraine helped me focus so it didn’t have one.
What it’s like when I have a seizure.
I’ll be fine one moment then the next completely off. Usually I start to feel sick. Usually companied by a migraine on the top right of my head. I can feel the pressure build up. I could have blurry vision or loose it all together either in one or both eyes. I can vomit from the pain of the migraine. Today, November 13th 2019, I’ve already had two within 12 hours of each other. And I can feel another one coming on. I don’t usually write just before but I want to try so I can remember. It hasn’t even been 10 hours since my last one this past afternoon. See it started with my stomach acting up. I was feeling dizzy even though I was laying down and watching tv. I positioned myself better on the bed so I don’t hurt myself. Then shortly after the migraine came and it came hard. The right side of my face started to feel like it was going numb. Then I had to vomit. I tried so hard to not but I couldn’t help it. I was weak on my legs as I tried to reach the bathroom in time. Thankfully I did. Once I was back in bed I positioned myself in the middle again and Lucy (my dog) to my right. She’ll try to wake me up if I have a seizure. She’s not trained to but she’s picked it up. I lay here feeling my symptoms getting worse. I can’t recall the proper words for things. And I’m still dizzy. I feel like I might vomit again. My muscles are already so sore from having two seizures today. Just laying here is hurting me. And my vision is getting blurry. Considering the amount of stress I’ve been in the last month I’ve actually haven’t had too many grand mal seizures lately. But unfortunately I still have bad days. Hopefully I can just go to sleep and not have one. I’ll update you in the morning if I did or not.
So I started new depression medication yesterday. And seriously I understand why a lot of people don’t like taking them. I’ve had depression medications before but this one is kicking my ass!
I have to take it in the morning. No big deal I take my epilepsy medication in the mornings and night anyways. So I take my medication and fall back asleep because you know I’m depressed and don’t have a normal sleeping schedule.
Later on I wake up and I feel like utter shit. I understand that a new medication can make you feel weird but I’ve never had a depression medication make me feel this crappy that fast. I’m literally getting sick. But I have nothing in my stomach so it’s just horrible.
I eventually hold some water down and some soup crackers. And I take a nap. Later in the evening I’m talking to my boyfriend about making dinner. I was sure I’d be able to do it. He pulls out the chicken and I head up once the chicken is defrosted. But man the dizziness. And I’m use to being dizzy. It’s a part of my everyday life with my epilepsy medication. But this time I almost fell over and the ceiling fan was making it worse. I couldn’t even stand in the kitchen. Let alone cook something. Luckily my boyfriend was there to help me but I felt useless. I can’t even cook dinner?
Luckily I did hold down my dinner. I payed down after and scrolled on my phone and then once I was sure it was staying down I joined my boyfriend and roommate outside for some fresh air. I was still dizzy and sore so I just took it easy. And later went to bed.
Today I set an alarm to take my medication at a certain time to try and be consistent. I woke up took my medication and went back to sleep.
When I woke up again same thing. I could barely hold down my water. The room was spinning and I was sweating like I was in a sauna. But the room is cool. I have two fans on when I sleep because I need the noise and air flow. I shouldn’t be sweating this much. I take a gravol to help. I barely make it to the washroom to brush my teeth and use the potty. After I’m back on my bed I’m just sitting up trying not to puke. But of course the medication won. I couldn’t even hold down the gravol. I’ve been laying in bed ever since besides another quick washroom break. I keep getting hot the cold and sweaty. I feel gross. And obviously I haven’t been taking the medication long enough for it to be helping with my mood so I’m still depressed and this is making it worse.
I know medication isn’t for everyone but I sometimes need them for a short period of time to rebalance our again. I have long term depression, anxiety and PTSD from childhood trauma. I also have stressed induced epilepsy. So I’m use to feeling shitty. But these past 48 hours have been rough. I really understand why people don’t want to even try medication for their depression because if this was the first kind of medication they put me on years ago I wouldn’t ever try it again.
I am going to stick to it. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try and get up and eat then take my medication. I know it can get worse before it gets better and I’m trying to remind myself it’s only a temporary feeling. Hopefully this is a start to me getting better.

the Cullens would have to stop going to high school bc gen z is too powerful and would sniff out their obviously bizarre immortal energy in seconds like bloodhounds and expose them as literal vampires within days
like I'm barely gen z but these teenagers are on a totally different level of unhinged funny I've seen their tik toks. the Cullens literally don't stand a chance they're just gonna have to settle one day for a small school where everyone acknowledges that those are the vampire kids. and they all agree to just not tell anyone like the crowd in the Hannah Montana movie.

Some of you are reblogging because you think its funny that programmers would talk to ducks. I’m reblogging because I think its funny picturing a programmer explaining their code, realizing what they did when they explain the bad code, then grabbing the strangling the duck while yelling “WHY WAS THE FIX THAT SIMPLE!? AM I GOING BLIND!”
AS A PROGRAMMER I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU FUCKING DO WE HAD TO BAN THE DUCKS FROM MY CLASSES BECAUSE EVERYONE WOULD FLIP THE DUCK OR THROW IT AT A WALL OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM IN THEIR CODE
I work at a startup and part of the onboarding package you get when you first start working here now includes a rubber duck. We also have a bigger version of the duck for the extra hard problems. Sometimes one duck doesn’t cut it and you need to borrow your neighbors to get more ducks on the problem. One time we couldn’t figure out why something wasn’t working right so we assembled the counsel of ducks and by the grace of the Duck Gods were we able to finally come to a solution. These ducks have saved many lives and should be respected for the heroes they are.
brokenangelicdreams asked me “Is this ferret going to become a programmer?”
Problem solved Mr. Weasley.
@inglonias
@mx-delta-juliette so how many rubber ducks have you gone through?
I’ll have you know, I respect the wisdom of the duckies and accept blame for my own stupidity like a mature programmer.
(I have no duckies, but I keep a stuffed penguin plushie at my desk for exactly this purpose.)
I’ve only been working as a developer for ten months, but this is ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE.
… maybe I really should get a duckie for my desk. Maybe then I would stop poking my coworkers for help with bugs so often. XD
(In my defense, my coworkers have, respectively, seven and fifteen years of experience. I think I’m entitled to pick their brains.
Also, now I definitely know what I’m getting as gifts for them for our Christmas party this year. ;) )
