I’m reading on old superstitions and: “Do not go out collecting nuts on Sept 14th, holy Rood Day, as the devil will be out nutting too!” September 14th: the day the Devil nuts

HAPPY DEVIL NUT DAY

I don't understand why all these characters are surnamed Kong. It appears to reflect some kind of-- like not ALL the apes are named Kong, so it has to mean something, no??

Sometimes it pisses me off how much funnier you are than me. I'm laughing but my thumb is hovering over the report button

This morning I was just minding my business on a hike only to look over and see a ton of flaccid stinkhorns (Mutinus ravenelii) adorning a sandstone cliff face.

Collections: Why Archers Didn’t Volley Fire

This week we’re looking at a specific visual motif common in TV and film: the arrow volley. You know the scene: the general readies his arch

I still won't forget when my wisdom tooth got infected and couldn't sleep bc the pain was so bad and I took like 4 of those those blue gel ibuprofens and I finally fell asleep for a couple hours and kept having dreams about beautiful glowing blue animals that help you and I kept waking up thinking the blue animals will help me and realizing wait what are blue animals they aren't real and immediately falling back asleep thinking about the blue animals again

Polynesians did also rely on a form of a physical map called a stick chart, illustrating the specific wave and swell patterns surrounding different island chains. These were particularly helpful during cloudy conditions when the sun and stars were less useful. To navigate the Marshall Islands, the Marshallese represented ocean swell patterns using parts of coconut fronds and shells as islands. Like a subway map, they don’t so much represent distances as they do relationships. The complex and decorative stick charts were often only understood by the person who made them. They were memorised before a voyage by the pilot who would lie on the floor of a canoe to get a sense of swell movement and often lead a squadron of 15 or more boats.

[baddestvenus-in-virgo]

sometimes I am just amazed at how my ancestors managed to navigate the entire Pacific Ocean with these. knowledge that was nearly lost and is being re-learned.

[gamebird]

AH! I'd heard of these, but this is the first time I've come across pictures.

[randomnoteforfuturereference]

Clarification: the Marshallese are indeed Pacific Islanders. However they are not Polynesian but rather Micronesian (which also includes groups like Palauans, Kiribati, Yapese, and CHamoru).

Here's a map of the different Austronesian groups and the hypothesized way they spread.

Stick charts are not only a demonstration of the skill of oceanic navigation by Pacific Islanders, but of the diversity in how those skills manifest among the different groups.

[hillnerd]

What I love about these is that they're showing a water wave phenomena that western naval navigators often did not make charts of, or have as deep of awareness of: wave reflection, diffraction and refraction patterns.

Their charts allow navigators to be familiar with the wave patterns, so they can navigate by waves and understand how near they are to atolls, islands, land etc. without need the usual cues for navigating.

For a time, scientists and scholars did not appreciate how accurate these were- but eventually they've come to realize that these are incredibly accurate teaching devices that made them some of the most acute navigators of the ocean who were very precisely and accurately documenting wave patterns better than even most modern navigators.

absolutely incredible!
