Please. Help.
The girl I'm dating and I both think that we sleep on the left side of the bed. I'm coming to terms with the fact that she may be a psychopath and I don't know what's real anymore.
Which option has the sides of the bed correctly labelled?
#1
#2
Neither #1 nor #2 but a secret third thing
"left" and "right" are both relative terms determined relative to a person. The correct answers are port and starboard.
the headboard is the stern
Yeah this one seems pretty straightforward. I'm sure there's some exceptions, but every depiction I can think of, including IRL race car beds, agrees.
i spent too long on this and regret nothing
Nor should you, this is glorious
just wanted to say that my brain has been broken by FFXIV and I got confused for a second when "STARBOARD" was not accompanied by a matching "LARBOARD" on the other side
i drew peaches in water (art study)
HOLY FUCKINHG SHIT BRUH
Good as new~ ... a special holiday bonus!? I found the Clariet recipe in better condition!

Hey tumblr - what in the name of Batman is wrong with your damned website?
This is so fucking embarrassing. This is one of the most embarrassing business quips I have ever seen in my entire vile career.
coat bath
tag yourselves i'm the GREAT ROOM beside the GOURMET KITCHEN
i remade it in the sims 4
A brilliant person wrote this on Reddit to accompany the original design:
I come home through the garage because there’s no front door, straight into the gallery halll where I can remove my coat, which goes into the sink in the adjacent two-tub mudroom. I relieve myself in the convenient powder room, a voluminous space that dwarfs its only feature, a toilet in the corner. I enjoy the space to breathe and collect my thoughts. Some might ask why I didn’t go into one of the other bathrooms with a sink, but not all of those have toilets. Although to be fair, my master coat bath has two. Have you ever shit in one while aiming your pee into the other? It’s a glorious privilege I’ve been afforded by my wealth. I am wealthy. In more ways than financially, as you can tell by my two and a half children who are at this moment romping about the great room/guestroom/gourmet kitchen/dining hall area. If you thought having two tubs in the mudroom was convenient, ask me how many sinks we have in our great room. Seven. We have seven gorgeous sinks, not even counting the trio of bathrooms just past the dining table that have an additional five. At night we settle down into our respective rooms. My favored child goes to his bedroom, which has a bed. The second lays in the guestroom corner of our great room, where he is lulled to sleep by the dishwasher at his feet. The one who displeases us retreats into his bedroom, which does not have a bed. I enjoy the cruel irony as he climbs into his bedroom sleeping cabinet. The day done, my wife and I retire to our generous quarters. She slips into the master bæþtħ for a soak while I enjoy a shit-pee in the coat bath.

sometimes I forget orchids grow on trees and I’m like. oh.
They do what now?
in the wild, most orchids grow on tree bark, a fact which will never not bring me a profound sense of delight
interestingly, orchids aren’t parasites–they are just harmless squatters hanging out with their arboreal buddies. it’s a form of commensalism–one organism benefits, the other neither benefits nor is harmed.
OK but orchids ARE parasites. They just aren’t parasites on trees. All orchids have this very bizzare lifecycle where they begin life as parasites on fungi. Here’s the rough strategy:
1. There’s a tradeoff between how much nutrients can be in a single seed and how many seeds you can make. On one end is the double coconut, the largest seed in the world weighing as much as a small child but each double coconut palm tree makes relatively few seeds per individual per season. OR. Make a fuckton of seed that individually cost very little to make. A lot of your small nonwoody plants chose this option, grasses, dandelions, any little weeds usually.
2. But there’s a limit to how far you can push this.
3. And by god orchids crossed it.
4. Orchid seeds are so fucking small they don’t have the energy stores to fucking germinate.
5. Orchid seeds are so small that they only consist of a few cells that haven’t decided who’s going to be roots or leaves yet.
6. And this is great! If you preferred habitat is in trees where the ability to disperse from one treetop to the next and find the right little spot on that tree to survive as a seedling for a few years is really hard. Lots of seed that can float on the wind and find just that spot is great for that.
7. But shit for actually, you know, being alive.
8. But orchids are crafty bastards.
9. Most plants try very hard not to be colonized by fungi, thats usually not good.
10. But orchid seeds just let fungi in.
11. And how the turn tables.
12. Because they just start eating the fungi back.
13. And this is where it gets weird.
14. Orchids are easily in the running for most diverse plant family at nearly 30,000 different species
15. And every single fucking one of them is like this.
16. And worse than that most of them are dependent on a single species of fungus to do this for them, so they produce millions of seeds just so that one might find the one right fungus.
17. And then after that anything can happen.
18. Some orchids are nice and start paying back their hosts onve they get big enough to phtotosynthesize with nice sugars.
19. Some orchids move on to as many as 30 other fungal species throughout their lives.
20. Some complete bastards keep being parasites after they are big enough to photosynthesize on their own. That’s right, a plant that can make its own food is stealing from something that lives on dead leaves.
21. Some orchids just never grow out of it, orchids have turned into permanent parasites more often than any other group of plants because they’re all parasites so becoming a full parasite is nbd.
22. And worse, most of these actually parasitize fungi that are symbiotic with forest trees that supply sugar to the fungi in return for better access to mineral nutrients, effectively making the orchids both parasites on the fungi and the trees, in a sense the whole ecosystem.
23. This leads to one more weird phenomenon. Mutant albino orchids unable to photosynthesize, of species that normally can photosynthesize, are often recorded as being able to reach maturity and flower without issue. because they just keep being parasites instead. Orchids can just. become parasites at will.
In conclusion orchids are just the weirdest fucking plants in the world. Technically all the above applies to this obscure group of ferns called the Ophioglossum family too. Same fucked up start out life as parasites and become independent (or not) later thing.
I saw a yt document about this just yesterday and it’s wild
Turns out, that on a large scale, it’s not cost effective to farm the fungi in order to farm orchids which can then be sold worldwide. So what happens is that flower producers go entirely different route - 100% sterility. Everything bleached. Seed pods washed by 70% alcohol. Seeds being grown in petri dishes. Basically, if there isn’t the fungus to provide, people do. We know to the T what exactly in what amounds orchid seeds need, so we mix that stuff with agar jelly, sprinkle seeds over all of that, then wait several months to years until those bastards start growing. The process then continues in similar fashion until plants are capable of independent life at which point those, we have figured out, are given growth promoting substances in strategic spots in order to make the plant bloom. Adding that hormone to inactive bud on the flower stem makes it grow too and so we get those beautiful branched phalaenopsys orchids which then refuse to grow more flowers for 2+ years because they are close to collapsing from a) lack of fungy support and b)being forced to produce too many flowers. Remember this the next time you get your mom another of those 12+ flowers having beauties because her previous 3 are (half) dead.
Far Eastern Script
While the Eorzean alphabet was gradually developing into that commonly used today, far to the east, the letters of Nagxia, Yanxia, and beyond were experiencing a much different evolution. This supplementary column will attempt to serve as an introduction to the peculiar script of the Far East.
Origins
The Origins of Far Eastern script can be traced back almost two thousands years ago to a system of writing developed in ancient Yanxia. Unlike Eorzean, which employs letters (graphemes) to construct the literal representation of a word’s pronunciation, Yanxian was made up of logograms– thousands upon thousands of unique characters representing individual words or parts of words (morphemes). A principal drawback of this system, however, was that literacy was dependent on the memorization of these countless characters, a task that proved impossible for all but the educated elite.
From Yanxian script slowly evolved a series of syllabic letters that removed the meaning from simplified renderings of older characters, while retaining their pronunciations. These new “Kana” could be arranged much like the graphemes of Eorzean to form sounds and words, effectively reducing the number of characters to be put to memory from over ten thousands to approximately one hundred, and opening the door for the majority of Othardians to learn their letters.
PD: This is from the Lore book volume 2 and transcribed from there!. I will be posting about Doma and Hingashi today all the words come from the lore book remember this is not a resume of mine!.
