The Lady of the Lake is pretty chill. Her cousin, the Witch of the Waterfall, is a little less sociable.
You get a sword but you won’t like where
IM NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING SHUT THE FUCK UP
[transcription:
Have you ever wondered about like cave paintings? Like, “What were they doing? These don’t… look very good,” -chuckles- In fact, almost every cave painting has Spaghetti Lines, which are webs of lines drawn over-top images, which you can see here.
-picture changes to a grayscale image of a deer standing in tall grass-
And here’s an example of natural Spaghetti Lines in nature, but we’ll get to that in a second.
-picture changes to a photo paleolithic drawing of a mammoth. Alongside the photo is a tracing of the drawing, to clarify the lines-
The second weird thing is like sometimes animals are given extra body parts, like here the mammoth has two trunks. And here, there’s a drawing of an antelope or a deer, it looks like, that seems to have two heads.
For a long time, people would assume like maybe the Spaghetti Lines were just some kind of paleolithic graffiti, and maybe the animals were these kind of religious creatures that they had mythologized. But then, in 1993, a German scholar went into this cave in southern France, and it changed everything.
Unlike the other caves he had been to, this one was very poorly funded, so it had no artificial lights, and he had to be guided in by a local farmer, with nothing but a flickering lantern to guide his way. Here is how he described the experience.
He said, “M. Lapeyre finished his story and wanted to move on. I encouraged him to remain and to slowly swing his lantern back and forth a few feet from the cave wall. As he moved the light, I saw the colors of the tectiform begin to shift. When the lamp arced to the left, the blacks faded, the browns became red and the red intensified. When the light moved to the right, the pattern reversed, creating a shifting color scheme. Moreover, the engraved lines under and around the tectiform became animated. Suddenly, the head of one creature stood out clearly. It lived for a second, then faded as another appeared. The spaghetti lines were no longer a confused two-dimensional pattern. Rather, they became a forest or a bramble patch that concealed and then revealed the animals within. By firelight, a secret of the cave painters was exposed. In the space of a few moments, I saw cuts and dissolves, change and movement. Form appeared and disappeared. Colors shifted and changed. In short, I was watching a movie.”
Understood this way, the antelope with two heads, under the dance of the firelight, is an antelope going from grazing to checking for predators. And the mammoth with two or three trunks becomes a mammoth in motion, swinging his trunk.
There’s something beautiful to me about knowing that hundreds of thousands of years ago, ancient humans descended into the depths to watch movies.

I heard about this recently and about lost my fucking mind. I am begging someone to actually film the effect so we can see it for ourselves!
@lucithefer
here is a video showing some examples of this
Animation is one of the oldest kinds of art in human history and yet people treat it as insignificant
i thought you were gay tbh
i am not gay nor straight but another secret third thing
This mom on tiktok made a video suggesting that if parents are tired of the terribly annoying music that’s set to these videos aimed at little kids that they should just put the videos on their TV and put it on mute and then play their own music over it because it will usually match the beat. People responded by suggesting songs for which this could not possibly work and I cannot stop thinking about this video in particular
How traditional pitchforks were made.
It took 6 years starting from orienting branches
I love this so much
I would very much like to have one of these.
Writers?
If you have a chance, help preserve this nearly forgotten knowledge in your stories somewhere!
Wooden pitchforks are a bit safer than metal ones (little fear of rust causing lockjaw/death if you get poked), and when they’re grown like this, they’re far sturdier in many ways than anything assembled that isn’t metal…and they’re often lighter / better balanced than metal, too!
I didn’t see the caption at first, and was like “those are some really weird menorahs.”
Do you have some fun facts about frogs? Cursed or wholesome, I'm not picky!
have you ever wondered; why the desert rain frog has the ass of a small human man?
it's because desert rain frogs are burrowers! they spend most of their time buried in the ground to keep cool and moist in their unenviable desert home. and crucially, they do this BACKWARDS.
so, the secret to a great ass, from a tiny frog: bury yourself in the sand all the time ass-first, and you too will develop glutes of steel.
and then you can make this face all the time forever.

Gandalf throwing his staff at gollum is what really makes this
Thank you for commenting because I was going to scroll past this.
Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive
It gets better. The little backpack has a two-way radio.
So you’re trapped under rubble, and then a rat shows up. Flicks a switch on its little tumtum. And starts talking to you.

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”
I also respect the author for putting them all online for free
Bread meant a lot in my family
Getting bread was a gift.
Handmade or store bought did not matter.
Getting bread was an act of love, care and protection.
Something to eat when you were hungry or sad, for sharing with those that hunger, for offering to the divine or for trading.
It had so many meanings but all were that of care and survival.
My elders held the beliefs that nobody should go without bread in their basket.
" Give us all this day and our daily bread " my grandpa still says every single day.
Sharing for is truly the greatest act of love.
