EVERYONE MOVE OVER I FOUND THE BEST AI GENERATED RESULTS
Hi Europe! As someone whose had pets during heat waves, put them in the fridge. Iâm not kidding. Theyâll love it. Clean out a shelf and just pop them in. During the last Michigan heat wave I emptied out an ice chest just for the cats to relax in.
Also donât like. Lock your house pets in there.
On really bad days my coworkers will take turns hanging out in the walk-in cooler. I bet the cats really enjoy the temporary relief same as we do.
They absolutely do! And people donât realize it but if youâve got furry friends remember that they get hot too!
come on natural selection donât let us down
My buddy read an article about octopus intelligence. It was feeding time, and the handler dumped some shrimp into an octopusâ tank. Then he went into another room and sat at his desk.
A while later, a shrimp was tossed onto his desk.
The octopus, upon finding one bad shrimp in the lot, had grabbed it, escaped its tank, crossed the hall, and threw the expired shrimp at its caretaker. Not only does this showcase their problem-solving capabilities, but also that it could have escaped at any time. It just broke out this time to chuck an off shrimp in indignation at its handler. Thatâs not just intelligence, thatâs a human-like reaction. Kinda make you wonder exactly how smart these guys can beâŠ
OH MY GOD
I went to the aquarium once and we had a tour and we walked past the octopus tank and it was duct taped shut so I asked why and the guy was like. âWell, we had a problem before because these fish were disappearing randomly at night and we had no idea why. Turns out the octopus had memorised the night guards rounds and would creep out of its tank, crawl across the floor to the fish tank, have a little snack and be back in its own tank with the lid shut before the guard came back.â they are super smart
I love octopuses so, so much.
@_@
I am both delighted and FUCKING TERRIFIED.
Once I went to the aquarium where they had a baby pacific red octopus in a tank. I had gone there to work on a few real life sketches, obviously I wanted to do one of an octopus. So I kinda just kneeled in front of the tank, and started sketching. The octopus didnât mind, he sat happily. Then, 5 minutes later, he started moving to the front of the tank, where I was. This tiny octopus faces me directly and starts posing. I donât know how other to explain it but he started curlung his tentacles in this really graceful way then wouldnât move for a few minutes. Then again, a new pose. That tiny cute motherfucker knew I was drawing him.
talk about perspective. shit.
Fucking hell.
I remember the first time I saw a map of Africa to scale. My jaw dropped.
And Iâm wondering how a continent so big can be so conveniently left out of our world history text books. A class on Africa isnât a requirement for Anthro majors at my school. YOU CAN HAVE A MAJOR ON THE STUDY OF HUMANS AND COMPLETELY LEAVE OUT THIS WHOLE ASS CONTINENT.
Well goddamn
why is pop punk called pop punk do they not understand that that is like the biggest oxymoron ever and also pop punk is neither pop nor punk it should be called vans vans snapback basement music

How to Overcome Emotional Numbness
Emotional numbness is where we experience mild to severe feelings of detachment â so itâs hard for us to access normal feelings any more. This includes both negative and positive emotions as you canât decide to shut just one feeling off. Common causes of emotional numbness include different stresses or traumas ⊠from receiving bad news ⊠to being in an accident ⊠to recovering from the death of someone close ⊠to a relationship breakup ⊠to feeling deeply humiliated or ashamed. So how do you overcome emotional numbness and live with emotional integrity again?
1. The first thing to do is to choose to respect and allow all emotions â no matter what they are. Also, try and grasp the fact that suppressing your emotions will likely lead to heartache and problems later on (as theyâll possibly resurface at inappropriate times.)
2. Try and understand that feelings and actions are two very different, and unrelated, things. That is, you can still feel angry without becoming violent â so donât assume your feelings will affect your actions, too.
3. Try to figure out the message behind intense emotions. Are you angry because youâve been hurt, used or abused? Are you sad because deep down you feel that youâll never find true love - as you canât believe that anyone will love you for yourself?
4. Take that risk â and find the courage to ask someone for help. If youâre honest with yourself, youâll know that there are those who genuinely love you like â like a true and caring friend. The important thing is not to try and isolate yourself, and to make the extra effort to prioritise self-care. You need other people to help you work through this.
5. Seek professional help if the symptoms persist. There are excellent counsellors and therapists out there who have the training and skills to help you to get free â so you can live a more fulfilling and normal, healthy life.
6. Be patient within yourself. Itâs likely to take time â as you will need to learn to trust, and take some barriers down, so you can be yourself again (and that is often hard to do when youâve experience hurt and pain). Â
How to Take Notes: from a Textbook
(Be sure to change the post type from link to text post when you reblog, if thatâs what you want to do)
This method is best suited for textbook or article notes, and is a version of revised notes. It is also well suited for books you plan on returning to the bookstore or books you have rented, as it does not involve writing directly in the book itself.
First, youâll need to find a notebook, and the pens you like the best. My favorite notebooks to work with for note-taking, especially for my ârevisedâ notes, are the Moleskine, hard or soft cover, in size extra large. For this specific class (Intro to Gender and Womenâs Studies), I decided that lined pages would suit my needs better. For my math, engineering, and science classes, I usually opt for squared paper, as I draw in lots of diagrams and graphs.
My favorite pens ever are Staedtler Triplus Fineliners, so even though they show through the pages a little bit, I still choose to use them. I just love the way they write. I usually write out my notes themselves with a Pilot G2 05 with black ink, as it writes with a finer line and doesnât bleed through quite as much.
I usually try to set up my notebooks about a week or so before class starts, that way itâs ready to go on my first day of class.
Youâll want to start off by setting up your notebook. On my first page, I put my course code for my university, as well as the course title.
Next, and this is perfectly optional (I just like the way it makes the book look, especially at the end of the semester), I include some sort of related quote to the course. For my engineering courses (which are related to my major), I put a different quote at the beginning of each section. But as this is a two-month long course during the summer, I opted for one quote by Mohadesa Najumi at the beginning of my book.
Next I set up my table of contents and include a page with basic course information. As this course is all online, my course information just included the start and end dates of the course, what time content is posted and on what day, and the name of my professor. For my usual courses, I will include the days of the week the class meets on and where, TA names and contact info, as well as posted office hours for my professors and TAs and tutoring hours either in the library or in the College of Engineering.
Next is one of the things Iâm most proud of.
While I religiously use my Erin Condren planner to map out my days, weeks, and months, I have found throughout my college experience that including monthly views for the months my class ranges has been helpful. This way, thereâs no sifting through the multiple colors I have in my planner, and everything related to that class is in the same notebook.
On this calendar I include start dates of the class, the end date, the dates of exams or quizzes, assignment deadlines, office hours, etc.
For this course, as I just started a few days ago, I donât have a lot of dates or information, so my calendars are still very empty.
Next up I go to my weekly overview. At the beginning of each week, I set up a weekly layout, and I include a list of assignments, tests, quizzes, tasks, projects, etc that need my attention throughout the week, and I place the days I plan on doing them or the days they need turned in onto the weekly layout.
Now youâre finally ready to get into taking the notes.
Gather your book, some sticky notes, and your favorite pen or pencil.
I color code my stickies so that the ârevisionâ process later goes a bit smoother. In this case, Iâm using blue to denote something interesting, intriguing, or thought provoking, greenish-yellow to represent the facts or important concepts, and pink for important vocabulary words and their definitions.
Read the selection once.
As you read along the second time, write notes on your stickies, and place them in a place of relevance directly on the page in the book. Just make sure you donât cover up anything you need to keep reading.
Now, once youâve read all the material in questions (you can choose to break it up however you want, but since Chapter 1 was assigned for the week, Iâve elected to break it into chapters), carefully remove your stickies one by one and lay them out on a flat surface. This is when having a separate color for vocab can be helpful, as I sometimes put all of my vocab at the beginning or end of a section, especially if the section of reading was particularly large.
Organize your stickies in an order that makes sense to you, and use this order as your basis for transferring those notes into your notebook. The order you choose can just be lumping them under similar headings. Some classes even lend themselves to a nice chronological order. Whatever you choose, just make sure itâs something that will make sense to you when you come back to it in the end.
Okay so up there I wasnât following my own advice, I just thought I would include the picture because my handwriting looks niceâŠ
Now organize the stickies!
Now you just start writing everything from the stickies into your notebook. I like to take each category or subgroup and put them in the book on the facing page, then put them back in my textbook as I finish with each post it.
Moving on to the next category.
Before you know it, youâve written all of your stickies into your notebooks.
Now youâre revved up and ready to go. You can either keep going and make a note summary page (which Iâll show you next week), or you can leave it. These will also be helpful when reviewing for tests and quizzes. You can highlight or underline, or use even more stickies (which is what I usually do) as you review.
Well, thatâs all I have for you right now. Happy studying!
