9/11 is just around the corner!!!
You know you're European when:
They have to defuse a WW2 bomb in your city and nobody is really concerned because that happens from time to time.
WHAT #noteuropean
dude there’s entire fields in the west part of Belgium that just has a small “Watch out, mine field” on it, and sometimes farmers don’t know and put cows on it and they get blown up. Shit happens. #WW2
Happens because of WW1 (WW2 too but there’s less stuff left) in northern France too.
Almost walked on a non explosed pair of shells while looking for mushrooms.
I was born in a small town in south Hungary… they didn’t just find one WW2 bomb somewhere around the town… they found 1200 bombs right outside the town in 2014.
Yes, around 1200 German SD-1 fragmentation bombs… only found in 2014!
I love those radio announcements. This part of the city, along with this highway and also, all trains going through, are going to be shut down on Saturday afternoon because bomb.
And all anyone bitches about is the detour they’re forced to take because if it didn’t blow up the past 71 years, they could have waited another week to defuse it, couldn’t they? Eugh.
there’s a flood? oh hello forgotten WWII ammunition in large quantities you go take a walk in the forest? oh hey WWII mine! kids play football in a field? good thing they didn’t kick that mine they found. someone actually looks through the old metal parts in a salvage yard? anti-aircraft mines! tbh nobody usually makes a great fuss because it very rarely actually hurts someone. but yeah until now I was always like ‘lol another one’ and never thought about it much XD
There’s a roadblock in the middle of the city? Oh no worries it’s just a bomb. A whole block gets evacuated? Oh no worries. Bomb. #LifeinGermany
same in czech… we literally have closed forests where no one can go, because mines everywhere and lol, our neighbor was building water well on his garden last year and he is digging and digging and then he hits something solid, surprise it’s a wwii bomb…
Here’s one being detonated in Yorkshire in 2009 (from WW2)
Wtf are you guys ok
Yeah it’s fine, this shit is essentially gossip material and nothing more
We had one in our city recently(ish). If I recall right they evacuated a student accommodation or something, and they watched it get detonated.
It was more like a social event than trouble.
You all sound so surprised that we still have some bombs around from being LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO WORLD WARS.
I feel like the US - and fair enough - don’t quite get how present and clear the effect of the world wars is in Europe.
Like I was in TK Maxx in Balham today failing to find any decent bras. As I went in I glanced around and noted not for the first time how there’s this really distinct break in the style of buildings along that road. This is why:
At 8.02pm on 14th October 1940 a German bomb was dropped directly on Balham Underground station. The torn-off shopfronts are where the TK Maxx is now.
My other stop before getting home was at the Lidl on the corner of my street. Why was there space to build a supermarket there in the first place? Because it was a bombsite.
London was a bombsite.
That’s every explosion in London during the Blitz.Around 10% of dropped bombs are estimated not to have exploded. They’re still digging them up all the time. Last year London City airport had to be closed down while two unexploded V2s were dealt with
There are areas in northeastern France which are still off-limits to humans because of the huge number of unexploded shells and mines the toxicity of the soil from World War One, called Red Zones.
War really fucks a place up.
I feel like people really don’t understand the difference between a war some county is waging somewhere else and a war that happen right on top of you.
Any bit of grassland or field you dig in Europe or in my example Poland will yield you some ammo or a piece of a bomb within first 15 min of digging.
There was this American show about treasure hunters working with metal detectors that wanted to shoot an episode here looking for some meteorites. They gave in after the first day because the detectors kept wailing non stop. They found a lot of ammo and rusted out guns.
It’s not just bombs, it’s also things like : oh, bus fell into a hole!
The hole turned out to be a secret ww2 bunker that nobody knew existed that caved in.
Happened in my city and someone just picked it up and put on the bin
#justeuropeanthings
I’ve been on a beach where they found an unexploded mine! We were on a caravan holiday near a lovely place called Elie (Fife, Scotland) walking with my mum, gran, my lil cousin and the dogs. We saw an army van and my gran was like, “Wooty woo! wave at them!” and being the stupid and awkward 12 year old, I did.
Anyway, they stopped the truck thing and walked over, 12 year old me died of mortification, and they escorted us off the beach.
We stood on a sand dune and watched them blow it up, actually knocking us back a bit.
Then they left and we finished our walk.
The whole thing took about 30 mins, max.
#I'm european but this isn't really a thing in norway because we were neutral in wwi and occupied throughout wwii
Actually they find seamines and occasionally grenades around Oslofjorden and Narvik/Harstad. A lot of the war was fought around Narvik, with heavy support from England and France, up until the invasion of France.
If I got to live in Redwall, I would want to be a fat ottercook.
TIS THE SEASON yet i have not had my dashboard graced by
so here she is. Happy holidays, everyone.
New and Improved! Extended Zodiac Aspect Quiz Explained
Remember when I made this post? Well, I had a solid foundation, but it was total hubris thinking it was “Complete”, let me tell you.
This is still VERY important:
Maybe even more important than I thought before.
I was right when I said people were missing something when they thought it was just the aspect itself factoring in and that the adjacent aspects gave you points as well, but I was still missing something.
This is what’s actually going on: Your aspect is giving your aspect points, the adjacent aspect is giving it points, the opposite aspect is giving it points, the opposite adjacent aspect is giving it points.
That’s right. Far from being any sort of negative, the opposite aspect *actively gives points*, although obviously quite less than it gives itself.
When you think about it, this fits entirely with the spirographic nature of how things are presented. Things are connected to what is opposite of them and what is next door.
By the way, so you know, in case you saw the post before I edited it, and for the record on this post as well, the tie breaker bias order is the following: Time, Space, Heart, Mind, Hope, Rage, Light, Void, Breath, Blood, Life, Doom.
I haven’t nailed down the math exactly, yet, so I’ll have some concepts for that under readmore. UPDATE: I may have nailed it!
Keep reading
Update! Pretty sure I solved it!
Help from Kreuz’s model which I used to help engineer the correct positive values. And also iA, roowco1 and TM_pono on discord the entire way from the first post’s model.
I know they’ve already done a lot of automated testing, but I’d just like to add on to this that I’ve checked around 150k random answer combos against the actual site and they ALL match this model.
Since they’re random, I might check the same combo more than once, but with a total 5^12 = 244 140 625 combinations possible I feel like checking a variety of combos quickly is more important than making sure they’re not counted twice.
My script logs itself in here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-MQYwQfuC_AIkDX0F7vv1EPxCcXG7AQQ/view?usp=sharing, it’ll post an error if there’s a mismatch.

And here I was loving FMA:B for having precisely zero fanservice.
Have I mentioned I’m a huge prude? Because I am
…Maybe I made this more lewd by leaving it up to the imagination…
WELL WHATEVER, I THOUGHT THIS WAS FUNNY, SHUTUP
Me, except if it’s a dude then I’m all over it hahaha
I am such a shameless hypocrite x-x
JESUS CHRIST DUDE!
OH MY GOD!
I THINK THAT’S A HARD “NO” THERE CHIEF
Consider:
roxrezi should be something alomg the lines of "u wot m8 F1T3 M3 1RL" but in a way that works as a shipname

A Reminder from your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator
Hello all! Moderator Hex here.
It has come to my attention that there are some folk here reading Duck Gets Stuck who are reblogging Duck’s posts with commentary that includes spoilers. Duck is doing his best to read Homestuck for the first time without having anything spoiled for him, and things that discuss content beyond the scope of what he has currently read appearing in reblogs is something I am unable to adqeuately screen for.
Therefore, I am politely asking that if you wish to reblog Duck’s posts with commentary about upcoming events or characters, please make it clear that what you are posting is in fact a spoiler, and that it’s something Duck shouldn’t look at.
I keep a close eye on who posts and reblogs around these parts, and am warning you now that repeat offenders who do not adequately preface their posts with notifications of spoilers in the forefront of their content will be blocked from this blog. This notice is not directed at any blog in particular, nor is it meant to be a callout post, it functions as a reminder of the policies we enforce here to maximize what Duck can get out of this first reading of Homestuck.
Thanks for helping to make Duck’s reading experience as spoiler-free as possible, he really appreciates it.
Sorry not sorry
