Thank you so much! The art doesn’t belong to Atlas Obscura, this is art from All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals.

You sure that ain’t a portal?

Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics. 

“Increases your chances by 80%” does not mean “there is now an 80% chance”. 

If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%. 

if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%. 

thats how that works. 

[hopeful-weirdo]

Wow I don’t understand math at all

[freinhardt56]

‘if you have a baby after 35, the chance of deformities goes up by 100%’ is a line I hear alot.

It goes up from .5% to 1%

[pepperstrawberry]

To simplify: It’s the percent amount of the current factor.

In the starting example: 10% is the factor. 80% of 10 is 8, and then add together (increase by that): 10 + 8 = 18. Thus an 80% increase of 10% is 18%.

Similarly: 1% is the factor, it’s really the same as 10, just the decimal stepped over (10.0%, 1.00% // I know that isn’t really how numbers work, I’m just doing this for the visual). And thus, 80% of 1% then adding it on would be basically 1.8%

And finally, .5%. 100% of .5 is just that, ‘point 5′, or a half a percent. Two halves make a whole, and thus a single percent or ‘1%’.

Pretty easy to be honest… Though, it’s easy to get caught up in the statement and forget that, sometimes even when you know better.

when you touch a Bad Texture™ and have to scrub at ur hands until the feeling is gone

[egregiousoveruseofnormalcy-deac]

When your teeth scrape against something they don’t like and your entire body tries to escape the upper atmosphere.

[betaferret]

When your nails drag across an Unpleasant Thing so your arms stop working from the elbows down and your ears ring.

[floraroyal]

when something nearby makes a Bad Sound and you’re actively trying to get onto the astral plane in your corporeal form

Old Fruits Basket VS New Fruits Basket;

I know how much time, love, and effort was put into the original series but I have to say I’m already so in love with the new animation!

[kllingboys]

Golden Shepherd - a mix breed between a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever

“Golden Shepard” is a weird way to spell “Perfect Little Boy Who Has Stolen My Heart And Granted Me Peace”

Stop and take this moment to appreciate the fact that both of your nostrils are open and you can breathe easy. Your throat doesn’t hurt. You don’t have a headache. Take a moment
