Stuff I wish I could do with my brain:

Take it out and wring it like a sponge

Take it out and hang it over the porch rail like a dusty rug and beat it with a broom to get the junk off

Take it out and rinse it thoroughly in the sink

Take it out and put it in a container of effervescent denture cleansing tablets

Take it out and give it a nice massage with pleasantly scented oils

Take it out and stick it in the freezer for a few hours and then pop it back in

Flip it to the cool side like a pillow

Turn it off and on again. Reset the circuit breakers

Put it in a sieve to get the sand out and then re-form the goopy bits into the correct shape and stick it back in again

Leave it on the bedside table at night and pop it back in in the morning

Autoclave

[doomspaniels]

pop up the lid and pour in a giant bowl of ice

bleed off the extra pressure

put it back in the oven to bake the rest of the way, because really

clean the corrosion off the wiring

use compressed air to get all the hair and dust out

get patches for the software

get full updates for the software

get new software

maybe consider a different OS

YOU GUYS GET IT

I bought a couple of reprinted 19th century atlases years back with the idea of drawing something in them, but couldn’t think of a good subject until now. Graphite pencils and a bit of white ink on uhh… Polynesia. 27 × 20 cm.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

They existed *before beetles*

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

Reading reviews for havdalah candles written by unsuspecting Christian housewives who bought them to use for dinner candles is my new passion. I’ll be laughing for an eternity.

Imagine letting a candle burn that looks like this once lit:

For an hour.

Dude, get the wine!

[should-be-sleeping]

Different havdalah candle, same guy.

[should-be-sleeping]

Pls…

For my goyische followers: Havdalah is a service to mark the end of shabbat and the beginning of the week. The flame is big so that everyone at the service can see it. You also only have it lit for a few minutes before extinguishing it (traditionally in wine). They are not table candles. My guess is that these people bought them because they’re pretty and braided without knowing or caring what they’re used for.

For my Jewish followers: the goyim are at it again.

[starlightomatic]

It needs to be multiple wicks, and I think a tall flame is just what happens in that situation
