tell me something nice

[kyraneko]

if you grow mushrooms over a toxic waste site, chemical spill, or other polluted growing medium, they will suck up the toxins into their fruiting bodies with such effectiveness that they are being studied for their ability to clean up tainted industrial sites. it’s called mycoremediation.

if you do this with edible mushrooms, they are no longer technically edible, but on the other hand they make a great way to poison your enemies. this is called murder and it’s usually frowned upon, but they won’t see it coming and you get bragging rights afterwards about your ability to kill people with a pizza topping.

[kyraneko]

Sorry this was not precisely most people’s idea of “nice.” Let me add that you are a glow of comforting absurdity in an ever-more-fucked-up world.

I love everything about mycoremediation, but also

november is the thursday of months

[wizard0rb]

november is like if you took october and december but instead of adding them together you subtracted them from each other

[trans-peridot]

I have no idea what this means but I know it’s true on a gut level

[editingatwork]

You know what line gets me every time I watch MAD MAX FURY ROAD? 

“Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.”

Think about that. “Addicted to water.” It makes it sound like water is an extra luxury that people don’t need but are greedy for, something they should be able to go without, and if they are desperate for it, it’s their own fault, and not the fault of the man who has all of it, and withholds it.

Think about how the people in power tell us not to be greedy for the things we need, like healthcare, like a living wage, like the right to be free of fear and violence in our own communities. The people in power tell us not to be greedy for these things, when they themselves already enjoy them freely, and withhold them from us.

Don’t trust the narrative that tells us we’re being greedy by asking for things that we need.

Don’t trust the asshole sitting on a grassy hilltop with his hand on the spigot telling us not to be greedy for water.

Fury Road is a fantastic criticism of capitalist property rights over common necessities

One of New York Central’s “Mercury” engines in Chicago, 1936.

[dieselpunkflimflam]

Where did these go, because I desperately want them back.

[facts-i-just-made-up]

You do NOT want them back.

They look neat but there’s a reason these beasts were retired. The Mercury Streamliners, as they were known, got off to a good start. They improved the quality of travel and attracted many tourists to the rail service, which in the 1930s was already growing less popular as a result of the flourishing air travel industry.

But it was not to last. In 1938, a Mercury Engine plowed into a cow named Bessie in upstate New York and, lacking a cow catcher, the collision tore off part of the sleek streamlined veneer that covered the engine underneath. This is what a Mercury Streamliner Engine looks like under its slick armor:

Clearly visible are the three toothy skulls with phallic lobed craniums and bladed jaws. The public was horrified.

To explain, the Mercury Engine was designed by Hans Richard Giger, father of future “Alien” creature designer Hans Rudolf Giger. Like his son, Hans Richard was known in the art world for his dark and disturbing designs. Having won the design contest for the Mercury Engine based on its exterior, the manufacturers were willing to ignore the unseen undercarriage’s necessary skeletal and demonic fashions.

Once seen however, the jig was up. The public demanded the engines be taken offline, and it didn’t happen a day too soon. It seems the Swiss architect had designed his trains with much the same mentality with which Ivo Shandor designed 55 Central Park West- As a doomsday device.

Had the Engines been online only ten days longer, they’d have seen The Day of The Awakening of the Unholy Star, a Neokhlystic holiday on which the world was mourned in preparation for the end of all time. As designed, Giger’s trains would’ve come to live, devouring and digesting their patrons in a blood sacrifice to the Satanic Lord of Carnage, Beelciftan. Had the sacrifice been accepted, the apocalypse would’ve swept from New York across the globe. So said the legend.

Here’s the thing- Legend or not if the Mercury trains had remained online a week after they were revealed as demonic devices, their owner, Bill Gruss von Krampus would’ve had the funds he intended to send to the Nazi Regime in Germany in 1938, which would’ve allowed them to start their nuclear program two years earlier. This would’ve given them the Bomb in 1943, two years before the United States completed its Manhattan Project.

So the demonic plot may well have come true in reality had the unsettling underskeletons of these beasts not been revealed. There is now a monument to the Cow of Albany that died to reveal the truth.

Thank you Bessie, for without you the world would be a different place, if it still existed at all.

Not gonna lie, I fell for it until I read the “facts-I-just-made-up” thing

[lowkeyconcerned]

For anyone wondering: No, this is not a real fact, as the user's name and description say.

The train in the first photo is the 1936 Mercury Streamliner, actually designed by Henry Dreyfuss, and did not run over a cow named Bessie in New York.

It is, however, considered one of the most beautiful trains ever designed, and it was intended to look like a futuristic vehicle, also meaning a big advance in railroad design for being the first streamliner to be built as a unit.

The project was really successful to the point two more were made. This time, as the price for building them was originally too high, Dreyfuss came up with the idea of converting some cars from the yards to build them.

These trains worked efficiently until the tear made them take their last run in 1959.

About the second picture: That train was indeed designed by Hans Richard Giger, but it was just a model for the 1995 movie "Species", which features a lab-created being that at some point takes over a train.

The bronze cow in the last image is a sculpture located on 88 E Washington St, Chicago, and it was donated to the city by Hanig in 2001 to commemorate the "Cows on Parade", an event that took place in Chicago in 1998 in which 340 life-sized cow sculptures with different motifs where placed around the city. This temporary event was a great hit all over the country and, according to city officials, increased the tourist revenue by $200 million.

A fact about the bronze cow is that in one of its eyes it is engraved Picasso's "Untitled" while the other shows a carving of The Water Tower (both Chicago symbols).
