liking art for libidinal reasons instead of lofty 'this says a lot about our society' ones is fine actually.

One of the contractors at work is a dude who recently moved here from the Bay Area. He is used to Northern California, which is to say that he is NOT used to the general Tornado Alley attitude towards Thor dragging his dick across the plains and causing massive destruction on a semi-regular basis.

Namely, the fact that we get them at all, and the fact that the general Midwestern response is to wander outside to see if we can see it.

We have bad weather forcasted the next few days and I had to talk him through the site tornado plan and storm shelter locations (we have six on site, my office is actually inside one) to head off the poor guy's anxiety and also I had to admit that yes, I also share the general Tornado Alley brain damage and go outside to try and see it when the sirens go off.

Poor man thinks everyone in tornado Alley is out of their minds and as one of those people I can't even deny it. 'I seek shelter if it's heading this way' did not reassure him, he's convinced we are mad.

To answer the question in the notes, @what-about-second-tmblr ; when I visited Sacramento and LA some years ago, the sensation of a minor earthquake shifting the ground around just barely enough for a human to feel it had me freaked out and basically lying flat on my back outside going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA while the Californians looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

So yes it is reciprocal.

Thor's dick what's not clicking

Two?!?

[systlin]

This particular image is of the famous (among people fascinated by weather, anyway) Pilger Nebraska twin tornados! Two EF4 tornados from the same storm on the ground at the same time. This footage was captured by storm chaser Hank Schyma, better known as Pecos Hank, who is a fabulous nature photographer and provides data to weather researchers to better predict storms and severe weather. The smaller twin at this point is setting the land speed record for a tornado as it orbits the larger tornado; it was clocked at a foward speed of 94.6 MPH (sustained for only 5.3 seconds)

Anyway, yes. Two. Supercells can do that.

Storm chaser Stephen Jones got this image when both twins were at their maximum size.

Saw this on FB just now and felt it belonged on this post.

What’s your definition of a “small city”? Like what’s its population?

Less than 10,000

10,000-50,000

50,000-100,000

100,000-250,000

250,000-500,000

500,000-1,000,000

1,000,000 or more (??????)

Remaining time: 5 days 20 hours

[mbta-unofficial]

10,000 people is a hamlet or perhaps some sort of large temporary outdoor entertainment venue. Fewer than than and I’m attaching -hamfordshire to the end of wherever you say you are from

What is Wrong With Massachusettites?

[mbta-unofficial]

lots that’s why we have so many hospitals

[dabouse]

The City I grew up in has a population of 8,400 and it’s not even that small. What is this question??

[what-even-is-thiss]

Where I come from we’d call that a small town

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

This got more traction than I imagined and has motivated me to make a more thorough survey where I can actually parse the data.

No email is necessary to input to complete the survey. Please also consider sharing this off tumblr with people in your life to get a broader sample, especially people who love history and love museums!

Mammu! Finius and Ferbingetorix built Rome in a day!

[charlesoberonn]

[charlesoberonn]

[asphor]

I feel like this also implies that rome is somehow being destroyed by the end of the day

[charlesoberonn]

The Emperor Constantine loves Finius and Ferbingetorix's "New Rome" so much that he makes it his new capital and names it after himself.

[asphor]

Yeah that checks out.

What's the doofenschmirtz contraption/scheme of the day?

[charlesoberonn]

Doofenric the Ostrogoth (insert jokes about his daughter Vanessa being "Goth" but in the modern sense) invented a City-Mover-Inator to move Rome across the Danube so his Germanic confederation could sack it.

Thankfully, Agent Pericles stops him by redirecting the Inator to Finius and Ferbingetorix's New Rome instead, moving it to the Bosphorus.

[charlesoberonn]

While Pericles and Doofenric are fighting over the controls of the Inator, it gets accidentally changed to paint remover mode and then fired at a random direction.

Somewhere nearby a painter just finished coloring the statue of the emperor when suddenly all the paint gets removed.

Painter: Aw...

Painter, giving it a second look: Hmmm... 🤔

[charlesoberonn]

Candysseia: What animal even is Pericles?

Finius: We named it "platypus", meaning flat-foot.

Ferbingetorix: On account of his feet being flat.

Candysseia: And where did he come from?

Febingetorix: We have no earthly idea.

[charlesoberonn]

Doofenric the Goth: Pericles the- wait, what animal even are you, Agent Pericles?

Pericles: *hands him papyrus*

Doofenric: *reading* A "platypus", meaning flat-foot... oh, on account of your feet being flat!

[charlesoberonn]

To be clear, the Emperor Constantine looks like Roger Doofenshmirtz.

Also, I agree with everybody who says that Greco-Roman Candace's name should be Candassandra (since nobody believes her warnings).

Ghetsis is 6'6" and he has the experience man why is he being an evil overlord instead of on the team

[calebwittebane]

i have to imagine he was being an evil overlord on the highschool and college teams as well. he mustve been one of those kids who grow up super tall way too early and their bones hurt like hell. he was cranky. foreboding and scary. didnt move fast but was unstoppable. he's disabled but not frail by any means in fact if his ability to ram his cane into solid rock is any indication he is freakishly strong although he gets winded quickly. my point is that he was a menace on the court. leviathan. entire teams dreaded playing against him. Oh God Oh Fuck Its That Guy Again. if you take the ball from him you are cursed for at least 7 years. shining career ended due to one terrible loss he couldnt cope with. paced around hatefully about it for a week. Well, Its Over. thus ended his evil reign over the hoop

[qquoodle]

[doomspiral]

Of the blorbos, who's dying where in the horror movie where

Feliks and Tolys take turns being the final girl and the sexually active couple, which means they either die first or one makes it to the end. When one is the final girl, the other is the tragic best friend who had Plans for when they make it out of this. The killers are either gil, ivan, or alfred and when theyre not the killers, gil and al are great toughguy 2nd deaths and ivan is the doomed gay. Those are the ones i usually play with.
