if I wrote a dystopian novel where the corrupt evil megacorporation that controls society has a fucking smirk for a logo, my editor would tell me to use a less heavy-handed metaphor

and yet

[twinkiefairy]

I love this because if I were to write a literary novel in the Western cannon that described the image of an apple with a chunk bitten off, any high school English student would tell you it is a Bible reference meant to represent the source of all evil and downfall of humanity and YET

(Y'all forgot the near contemporary concept that something small, something insignificant and arguably friendly looking can destroy an entire civilization through deception, eating through the constructs of a free market industry and stifling imagination and creativity through predatory legal and corporate means?)

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

They existed *before beetles*

I love how everyone intentionally interpreted this not as “your dog must be small” but “your dog must be in a bag”

“aww cute!! big doggies in ba-”

*cry-laughing as i hit the reblog button*

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

She’s in a bag! Rules didn’t specify how…

[swurp]

your honor i was just being a little silly

[pwesident]

reblog if you’ve never used the braincell

[snotdad]

the what

[pwesident]

yeah

[alivehouse]

fun fact about me is that when i was a kid id write capital E’s with as many of those little horizontal lines as possible and id call them ladder E’s and adults fucking hated them

[alivehouse]

artistic rendition

[ceekari]

All capital letters should have a leveled-up form

So far I’ve got

ladder letters: A, E, F, H, T

humpback B’s and P’s get as many bumps as you think they need

circle O’s, you just keep spiraling in til you feel like you’ve made your point

tree letters branch into smaller versions of themselves ad nauseum: X, Y

spider Q’s, so many legs

Please add your own unsettling godtier capitals!

[catgirltoes]

New alphabet dropped!

[ceekari]

oh my god, it’s beautiful

(future handwritten notes are gonna be so wonderfully cursed now, thank you! :D )

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

well it’s going to take some getting used to, @ceekari (don’t mind the redacted letter between T and U)

But I think i’ve taken a real shine to it!

"You see, Perry the Platypus, when I was young, my mother sent a pack of dalmatians to chase me off a cliff. Er...my adopted mother. Not my real mother, obviously, she left before I was born. My adopted mother wasn't very nice either. Anyway, Perry the Platypus, that's why I invented this: the Dalmatian-Destroy-Inator! With a push of this button, this machine will...erase the spots of every dalmatian in the tri-state area! They'll just look like dumb white dogs! They'll be too embarrassed to ever go outside again! AHAHAHA!"

"What? Skin them? That sounds a little messed up, Perry the Platypus. More than a little actually, is this overwork stress or something? I have been making a few extra inators lately, I've just had a little more spare time - look, do you need a break? We can do this tomorrow if you want, I'll let you go, you'll just have to walk into the same trap again tomorrow, it's only fair."

this is an artistic rendition of my irrational fear of a head that attacks only under the cover of the very loud toilet flush in the scary top floor bathroom at the hospital and how i exited the bathroom when i decided to flush and run as opposed to my normal method of flushing and putting my back to a wall

so the megalodon is most definitely extinct? how do scientists know?

well, the thing about large predators is that they leave an impact on an ecosystem big enough that you can tell they’re there, even if you never observe one directly. in this case, we know they’re definitely extinct because of the behavior of whales! whales used to max out at about 50 ft long and were fast and agile, entirely because of predation by megalodon!

but about 2 million years ago, our whales began to rapidly increase in size until we ended up with real monsters like the blue whale. this pretty directly lines up with the extinction of megalodon, and the removal of the pressure they were putting on large whale populations.

basically, large whales can get away with being gigantic, slow tanks in the oceans today because there simply isn’t a predator big enough to take them on anymore. if megalodon still existed, we would be seeing its impact on whale populations! whales would be smaller, and a hell of a lot more skittish than they are.

everything in a given ecosystem is connected, and you can often get important information about the unknown parts by observing the behavior of other parts of the ecosystem.

[bogleech]

All this, and the fact that if the ocean had sharks as big as Megalodon and had enough of them to sustain the species at all, we would have found at least one Megalodon tooth washed up on a beach somewhere that wasn’t fossilized. More likely, we would have found hundreds of such teeth every year for as long as we have existed. “We didn’t know giant squid existed!” is a common argument I see from cryptozoologists, but it’s also flat out false. We did know. We knew there were giant squid for centuries because we found remains of them for centuries. We simply hadn’t captured or filmed a live one!

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Okay, so I am well aware that this isn’t at all how evolution or natural selection works, but I still want a horror film that begins with a pair of scientists with dramatic music playing in the background as they pour over piles of records, until one of them turns to the other and says “it’s the whales. They’re becoming smaller, and more skittish.”

The other scientist looks out the window, over the sea. “Mother of god,” she whispers.

[milkchuggs]

Alternatively;

We begin to find giant shark teeth washing up on shore. People freak out. “Scientists find evidence megalodons never went extinct!”

Then the lead scientist calms everyone down so they can explain. “No. It’s worse than that. If they never went extinct, we would’ve found evidence like this before now. This means… ” Dramatically takes off glasses. 

“They’ve just come back.”

[animeengineer]

“But they can’t just suddenly come back like that!”

“You’re right. Someone brought them back.”

Worst Case vs. Best Case Scenarios by Karina Farek.

[castorochiaro]

This is a great joke, but it’s also a wonderful strategy for reducing anxiety that I learned about in therapy. If you’re ever nervous about something, just ask yourself: what’s the best thing that can happen? What’s the worst thing? What will most likely happen?

It does wonders for your nerves, really does.
