Imagine that everywhere in the mechanical engineering world suddenly got infatuated with lasers.
Lasers have a lot of uses! Measuring things, heating things, cutting things, entertaining cats, particle physics. Lasers are pretty cool. Very versatile, very useful, potential to be very powerful.
Someone shows up one day and says "I have developed a never before seen technology! I call it a Death Star."
And it's a 3.4mW laser. Well no, we haven't seen this exact size of laser much since that's not really standard, but that's a bit of a misnomer, and I wouldn't call it new -
"HOLY SHIT GUYS! This Death Star is so entertaining! My cat loves it and it has such a nice color!" The Death Star becomes a viral novelty, and is mildly entertaining, as laser pointers often are.
Somehow, seemingly overnight, this leads to mania. "Lets stick lasers in EVERYTHING! The public loves them!"
More companies make 3.4mW lasers to jump on the bandwagon. Everyone that makes anything vaguely mechanical starts sticking lasers into their designs.
Everyone is calling them Death Stars. Any time there is a "Death Star innovation", it is just that they made a bigger laser.
Ford's next truck comes out and it has "Death Star integrated headlights", where they have just stuck giant lasers in place of their previously functional headlights.
An electric toothbrush is now "Powered by Death Stars" and shoots a laser at the tooth its cleaning. You think that maybe this could have actual applications as a sanitizing device if you're being generous, but when you actually look at the product, its laser has no purpose but to point at the tooth and drain the battery.
Mechanical products across the board get noticeably worse as everyone starts stuffing lasers in places where lasers have no right to be.
The lamp business gets in on it. "Here's a Death Star powered lamp!" These guys haven't even tried to stick a laser in their damn lamps. They've just started calling their light bulbs Death Stars and hoped you bought it before you could tell the difference. You at least appreciate that they haven't ruined their lamp about it.
Death Stars are lauded as the solution to all the world's problems. If it's not working, you should stick a laser in it! That'll fix it, everyone says. Once in a blue moon, it's even true! Weather prediction is really good now. But most things are garbage. Like "Death Star powered washing machines". What the fuck does that even mean?
Meanwhile, since all functioning mechanisms are being replaced with lasers, problems start showing up. All mirrors now cost $1000+ dollars, because the whole supply is being used up to make more lasers. The earth heats up, because everyone's blasting lasers at everything. People keep going blind, on account of all the lasers.
You, in fact, study optical mechanics. You know what a laser is, and how it works, and that it was invented many years before any of this nonsense actually started. People keep asking you about Death Stars, since surely you must know so much about them.
You explain that this is not really what lasers are for, except you have to call them Death Stars now, and that they're causing a lot of harm, so you don't like them much.
"Oh, but they're still such new tech!" they reply. "They'll figure out how to make Death Stars that don't burn your eyes out soon, and then it won't be an issue anymore!"
Somewhere, deep and buried, you remember lasers being used in particle accelerators, or in telescopes, or in laser cutters, or funny cat videos. They are, in fact, still interesting. Still cool.
But by this point they have replaced roads with "Death Star Powered Pathways", which are just laser pointers propped up on tooth picks pointing vaguely through the forests.
And you think you are going mad.
And they are still just FUCKING LASERS.

Swedish Chef was on Masterchef Junior this week and he has human hands and it makes me really uncomfortable.
when the texture packs don’t all load together
The Swedish Chef has human hands in every video he’s in?
That’s part of the joke.
He had human hands on The Muppet Show.
I was a Bear in the Big Blue house kid. I never watched the Muppets. A puppet with people hands is freaky to me. I just want my bear and his big blue house.
can confirm, the Swedish Chef (almost) always has human hands. don’t know why. he’s an anomaly that way.
fun additional bit of trivia: most Live-hand Muppets (that is, ones that have articulated glove hands instead of the hands being moved by rods) are performed with the primary puppeteer doing the head and the left hand while a secondary puppeteer, usually a less experienced one, performs the right hand, a task typically known as ‘right-handing’. (the puppeteers use their dominant hands for the head, so for most of them their remaining hand will be the left. I don’t know if they reverse the process and have people left-handing for left-handed puppeteers.) looks like this:
the Swedish Chef is one of the exceptions to that rule, though, because his skits required a lot more complicated hand movement that needed better coordination, so with him one person would work the head and one would do both hands; they also did that for things a character playing the piano. that added complexity might be why he doesn’t have glove hands, plus the fact that he already looks a lot more human than most Muppets anyway. but I don’t really know.
…that was…probably more information than you wanted. sorry.
I JUST LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT PUPPETS. Thank you.
Also fun fact when they put an older swedish chef puppet into the Jim Henson museum exhibit he didn’t have any hands cause he was a live hand puppet, so the museum called up Frank oz and had him actually make casts of his hands that they used to make display hands for it
certified muppets post
Y'all are missing the best part. You know how the Swedish Chef is always throwing shit in the air and failing to catch things? That’s because Frank Oz started doing that to fuck with Jim (bc as noted above, a puppet with two practical hands is pretty unusual). And Jim would have to react or try to catch things that were raining down on his head from above. And from there it became A Thing, every bit as iconic as the Swedish Chef speaking gibberish.
ITS APRIL 13 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Deep Water Prompt #1886
The thing in the woods returned every winter, to demand half of the silk we had spun that year. One unlucky child would be chosen to deliver the gift into its long clawed hands.
Every year, someone must carry a burden of silk into the woods, for what dwelled there. A child, it must always be a child, though we did not know why. Not a young child, though, because the great basket of silk was heavy. So every year a child of twelve was chosen, strong enough to carry the basket and brave enough to walk into the woods alone. Some boys competed for the privilege, thinking it would make men of them.
But this year there was no boy of twelve - it is not a large village - and so I was sent. I am not tall - it takes me some effort to lift the basket clear of the snow - but I am stocky and strong, a farmer’s daughter with muscled arms and capable hands.
I carry the basket along the road. There is one road that passes through the wood that surrounds our village, and only one. For the yearly toll of half of that year’s silk, the thing in the woods allows us free passage of the road, and merchants come to the village. We make the finest silk anywhere in the Three Kingdoms, rare and beautiful, and so merchants always come. Our village is prosperous, because of the silk we spin from the casings of the worms that live only on the forest trees.
We would be rich, some say, if the thing in the woods did not take half of it. They mutter and resent and glare at the woods… but they can do nothing. The thing in the woods is stronger than they are.

Wow!) Who is this?))
Just going to remind some cishet dudes that they need only look at women's fanart and fanfic to know that they are completely wrong about what appeals to who they like. This goes double for the dudes who want a "goth/gamer gf." I'm, like, desperately hungry for Nacken fanfic and fanart right now.
All of the Prehistoric Pride guys in one collective post to celebrate pride month. Choose your fighter and have an awesome time :D
More suggestions are always welcome, I sadly was not able to cover everyone, but I will do more of these in the future!
I am going to add more and more to the collection as I get them done :D
If you would like to support my silly little dinosaur art, then you can buy any of these Prideaurs as stickers from my Etsy shop, which I just set up recently. I am pretty new to this entire business side of art things, but I am trying my best :D so a like or a reblog would go a long way. Thank you guys so much for all your kind words and support!
