big fan of characters who look cool and tough and stoic but only because theyre internally thinking "fuckkk what do i say. how do i make friends. they didnt teach me how to do that in sword school."

[homunculus-argument]

Nothing slapped my shit back into place like someone pointing out that the "genius gifted child with so much potential who got burnout and mental illness" is just the nerd equivalent to the jock "could have been a pro at sportsball if it wasn't for the injury".

It's just about 1 day per every 500 dollars stolen

[crazy-pages]

That's about 1 hour per $21, or $87.5/hr if you connect this to a 40 hr work week.

As someone around for 9-11 and the "NEVER FORGET NUMBER #1 GREATEST TRAGEDY EVER IN HISTURY" response to it I am in thrilled and invigorated by the fact that younger people just make amogus memes and TikTok nonsense about it. A huge chunk of America cared more about it than any entire genocide and thought you would cry learning about it. They hoped it'd make every generation patriotically angry forever and ever and want to join the military. Instead you Photoshop the towers into squidwards house and shit. Never stop lol

I’m physically unable to take 9/11 seriously, entirely because my grade 9 english teacher was bizarrely obsessed with it. We basically had an entire unit on 9/11. We watched that documentary from those students that were doing a documentary of firefighters and wound up getting the only footage of the first plane hitting. We did a novel study of a book about some kid being in one of the towers for take your kid to work day and him and his dad squeezing past the wreckage of the plane to escape in time. We watched that Nic Cage movie of him being a firefighter during 9/11 that gets stuck in an elevator shaft when the place collapses. I am dead fucking serious, we had to make up fictional people that died in the attack, write an obituary for our 9/11sona’s, and then write and deliver a eulogy as their grief-stricken parent. At one point in the unit the teacher clarified that she hadn’t personally lost anyone to the attack, nor was she anywhere near New York when it happened. She never bothered to ask if any of us had actually lost someone in the attack, which kind of seems like a thing you should do before making us invent fictional victims to give eulogies for. The unit began with her demanding to know where we all were on the day of the attack and what we remembered, and she started crying when we told her that 1. we were two years old at the time and couldn’t remember shit fuck, the closest thing was one of the older kids kind of thought they remembered being very confused at adults freaking out over the TV but that could have been literally anything, and so this meant that 2. we were the last class she would ever teach that could possibly remember 9/11. Probably didn’t help that someone pointed out that we were the class born in 1999, so in two years she’d have students that hadn’t even been born during 9/11. That may have contributed to the teacher crying over the whole thing.

We’re Canadian.

[writing-prompt-s]

When you were a kid, you and your friends found an alien and helped them elude the government along with getting them back to their ship safely. About twenty years later, they came back with an armada in order to invade Earth.

[jadepidgeonwitchery]

plot twist: they came to invade earth because you were ranting about capitalism and how bad it is. They come bearing the gift of communism

[alexcaninnit]

somewhere out there is an autistic with a mole special interest who is VERY happy today

[arisushanti]

Townsend's mole is endangered in Canada. It has a small range that is restricted to the highly populated and developed Lower Mainland.

Townsend’s Moles have poor eyesight, but vision is of little use for locating prey in the underground darkness of their tunnels. Instead they rely on a highly developed sense of touch, particularly the thousands of touch-sensitive structures on their snouts known as Eimer’s organs. Their long jaws are designed for rapid biting and are armed with 44 teeth for cracking hard exoskeletons. When a mole captures an earthworm it will skillfully and speedily orient it using its teeth, nose and forefeet, so that the head-end is consumed first. The mole then threads the worm between its forefeet, tearing it into pieces with quick, jerky movements of the head and swallowing each morsel immediately. This method of eating facilitates the “stripping out” of gritty organic material found in the worm’s digestive tract and prevents the worm’s angled, bristle-like setae from interfering with swallowing.

Day 254

a short interruption to the 9/11 posting in the interest of moles

[jackson-imbecille]

@sabertoothwalrus Now that people are interested in moles. These three moles are not related.

Top one is Laurasiatheria (same superorder as dogs, horses, bats, and hedgehogs)

Middle one is Afrotheria (same superorder as elephants, tenrecs, aardvarks, and manatees)

And the bottom one is Australidelphia (same superorder as cuscuses, quolls, bandicoots, and wallabies)

All three have convergently evolved to be moles! How cool is that!

[ria-the-camel]

i trust all these moles

[drossna]

everyone is interested in moles, no one is talking about what the moles are interested in smh
