This is the best ad for Project Hail Mary I have ever seen. Like if I was on the fence about watching or reading it, this would convince me to do so.

…this particular clip is the moment where i first started wondering what the hell was going on. for the record, i went into this movie blind, i had no idea what it was about, just that it was popular and i wanted to watch something that had good reviews for once. 

why is this guy sitting in a helicopter, dressed in tac gear with ammo bandoliers all over him… but a big ass straight sword on his hip, bent over his gun and holding it like one of those renaissance paintings? 

the proverbial hair on the back of my neck started prickling, let me tell you, because it was incongruous. it was weird. why is this guy sporting a fucking longsword going into a firefight? why does he look like one of those paintings with a knight on his knees, praying, which was what it seemed like to me because i was just looking at a old school sword and his hands are holding his gun like his hands are on crossguards instead of a gun barrel and my brain put that together in a confusion spasm.

honestly, best use of foreshadowing in any movie i’ve seen all year. maybe all decade because my subconscious knew something was up before i did.

genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

[goldcrescent]

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

Taking dinner to go 🕷️🍴⁠

Like spiders on land, sea spiders—also known as pycnogonids—come in a range of sizes and appearances. They’re widespread and occur across a variety of ocean environments. The deep sea is home to the giant sea spider (Colossendeis sp.), which can grow larger than a dinner plate. This spindly spider lumbers along the seafloor on jointed, stilt-like legs.⁠ Instead of spinning a delicate web of silk to trap prey, giant sea spiders use an elongate, tube-like proboscis to slurp up their meals. This sea spider was observed clipping off a couple of tentacles from a pom-pom anemone (Liponema brevicorne) and carrying their prize across the seafloor.

People get jumpscared by house centipedes because they have like one of the fastest land speeds relative to body size among insects, or a lot of mammals, moving about 16 inches (40.6cm) a second, that's why they sometimes seem to appear out of nowhere. Like if you have a ten foot ceiling, a house centipede can go from the floor behind a bookshelf to the ceiling in the time it takes to catch up on your tumblr feed. And they're pretty harmless but also they are wildly overconfident in their ability to hold onto a ceiling.

If you aren't allergic, house centipede venom is about on par with something like a yellow jacket or garden spider, somewhat painful but zero medical significance. You'll get swelling and that's about it.

But! That's if their stingers can even get through your skin. Very few house centipedes' stingers develop the size and sharpness to get through your skin - if one even wants get close enough to sting. The average human is basically Godzilla to a house centipede, they don't see us as something they can survive, so they would much rather run away or try to be hidden. But they also have kinda dogshit eyesight so we probably look like part of the landscape until we move.

And of course the old addage - venom is expensive. They don't want to waste the calorie cost of making venom on stinging something where the sting won't help survival and won't feed them. They're startling when they appear but they are well and truly harmless. Or if you live in a city and have pest insects, pretty beneficial.

You see them in the shower and bathroom so much because damp environments help them breathe. They have open spiracles to take in air, just holes along the surface of their bodies (you can see them in close ups sometimes). They're a very primitive design by most standards, and if they're somewhere too dry, they can't get air, and might even just dry up and die. Since your bathroom is the wettest, most humid place in the house, if you have them around that's where they'll go to relax and recharge before another night of hunting down every last cockroach in your apartment.

There are some much larger centipedes that can be more dangerous to get bit by, but not the humble house centipede. He's just a little freak tryin to get by, it's not his fault he's clumsy and looks like a facehugger for a barbie doll.
