I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

#the reason that lab safety regulations are the way they are is because literally all chemists are like this #as in 100% of them #no exceptions (via @prokopetz)

Okay so Victorian erotica is literally the most heinous, morally bankrupt, horrific shit I've ever read - but I've read a fair bit, partly from historical interest but also because a while back I helped a friend with a university project she was doing about censorship and pornography in 19th century England.

Anyway I need to share with you all the most hilarious line that has ever been written, circa 1887:

[prokopetz]

I feel like this excerpt is significantly enhanced by knowing that the novel in question is a first-person narrative written from the perspective of an inexplicably sapient flea who lives on Bella's body, and that's why the third priest's penis is described in this way: from the narrator's perspective it literally blots out the sky.

Kaiba from yugioh is objectively the funniest character ever. He lost at a card game to the plural kid at his school who he has a hatecrush on, and then got so mad about it he used all of his riches from his father's military arms dealing corporation to move the world to a futuristic card-game based economy just so he could beat that kid with as much style as possible.

Like imagine if the son of the Ceo of Lockheed Martin came to your school and you beat him at monopoly one time, and then you see him a year later and he's developed monopoly holograms so you can see giant metallic shoes moving around an actual city sized board. 3 years later and your country accepts monopoly money as actual currency. 5 years? your city runs on monopoly energy some fucking how, and the company's opened a theme park right across your street themed entirely around the Top Hat Piece because that's his favourite, he;s got a top hat shaped private jet, he keeps a top hat monopoly board piece on a necklace around his neck at all times. He sacrificed God so he could summon a Top Hat Piece in a high stakes game of egyptian magic monopoly once and it was awesome.

Also:

He wasn't even a born nepo baby. He was adopted by the billionaire CEO because he was such a prodigy. His dad was abusive as hell and eventually he challenged him to a game of chess going "if I win you have to hand over your company" and his dad accepted and got his ass beat so bad he killed himself immediately. Leaving this 15 year old with billions of dollars and no supervision.

He proceeds to take those billions of dollars of weapons dealer money and invest all of it in card games and video games and theme parks. He doesn't even gut the old company to start a new one, he just stops making weapons and starts making games. He doesn't change the company name. He doesn't even change the logo. Honestly the wildest power move to just totally overpower the fucker's legacy, damn, okay!

He also built a theme park to try to murder the plural kid before moving on to holograms and taking over the world but you know how it is.

tomodachi life giving you so many oppertunities for custom images and text with no filters means the obvious answer is of course to fill it with sex and penis. which is why i appreciate that every tomodachi life post ive seen is actually pretty lacking in sex and penis. instead we've been giving our miis enough cigarettes to kill a small village.

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

[dualcasterjay]

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's that post that's like "I can't buy expensive things like plane tickets on my phone, I have to use my laptop, big purchases are for the big screen"

Because apparently this is a literal actual thing that retailers hate cuz you think more before spending a lot of money, they want you to spend a lot without thinking about it so much

Source

Keep buying Big Things on the Big Screen, it's healthy for you financially to think before spending a lot of money!

Okay okay we all know Johnny cash did his cover of Hurt and we were all like “ok he owns that now” but I watched the music video he made and I’m like “oh he OWNS it owns it”

[fullmetalfisting]

It’s totally wild to me because most people agree that Trent Reznor is a master of his craft and Hurt is considered one of NIN’s best songs. Imagine having this great hit and 8 years later a musical legend who hasn’t done anything great in a long time and is ostensibly dying takes your song and fucking. Just fucking obliterates you

[wrenchinator-central]

Taken from the Wikipedia page. Even Trent Reznor said it's not his song anymore.

[anais-ninja-bitch]

in case you hadn't seen

[atlinmerrick]

Holy hell that's video is…painful and stunning. If you grew up listening to Johnny Cash I think it'll hit even harder. And June Carter Cash is in the video, which takes hard and doubles it.

[feuervogel]

#i remember my friend vali saying#why is anyone trying to make songvids to this song?#the most emotionally gutting video has already been made#by johnny cash himself (@bossymarmalade)

[sophiamcdougall]

I'm glad people who didn't know who are discovering it's a cover, not just because Trent Reznor deserves that much, but because I think the fact that Cash did not write it is crucial to the power of his version. This is a young man's song about suffering, about addiction and self-destruction in youth. And Cash is, in the most majestic possible way, taking that and going "oh kid, you have no idea", and changes the meaning without changing the lyrics (except for a single word). In his voice, on his face, in his aged hands on the guitar and piano, it becomes about the agonising brevity of life, the irretrievability of mistakes, and the inevitable loss of everything, including a recognisable self. But the creativity of repurposing only shows if you can still see what was originally there.
