Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian but it’s Toxic by Britney Spears

[gallusrostromegalus]

I’m gonna propose something: if your combat/ass-kicking sequence can’t fit to a top 40 female-vocalist Banger like “Toxic” or “Mama Mia” or “I Need a Hero” you’re not Doing It Right.

[fatsexybitch]

At this point its starting to feel like Editors are using 140-150bpm as a standard for action sequences, and I cant say I hate it.

[homestuckphobia]

I agree wholeheartedly with every point above but I watched this first with the sound off because I forgot that was an option and what struck me most is how efficient Luke's lightsaber style is. Almost every flourish he makes and all of what, 2 entire spins?, is defensive to better parry blaster fire while nearly every offensive swing he makes is basically a head or chest level kill shot. If I had to make a guess about his character I'd say this vintage twink has probably Seen Some Shit and maybe comes from a background where resources are scarce and help is far away so if you get in a fight you have to end it before it starts or you're dead meat

[screamting]

deeply want a time travel fic where Luke visits the old republic and the Jedi are like “that’s not a dueling style” and luke is like “yea am not doing much dueling tbh”

Good news everyone... We finally know why Cassowaries have the Casque (horn like protrusion on the head)

It fluresces in a UV spectrum that they can see, and every Cassowary has a unique pattern like a fingerprint. Shiny dinosaurs!

Ultraviolet light illuminates species-specific biofluorescent casque patterns in cassowaries (Casuarius) - Scientific Reports

Cassowaries possess prominent keratinous and bony cranial ornaments, called casques, which have been suggested to function in visual signali

[that-dinopunk-guy]

I feel like taking a UV light to the Mesozoic would be very educational.

[maimonideznuts]

I feel like Dilophosaurus would just be a big carnivorous Cassowary

[canadianwheatpirates]

My favourite commentary on this so far was "can museum curators go and throw a blacklight rave in the bird collection to see how many of the others do this?" 🤣

[grison-in-space]

Worth noting that the authors have confirmed that the fluorescence is within the range of cassowary visibility, which is a bit of the puzzle that often gets missed in viral stories like this. Really neat work!

[headspace-hotel]

It's incredible to think about how our range of perception limits what we can understand about the world just with our senses.

When animals have bright colors we can see, we think to ourselves, "Oh, there is a reason for the color." But the world is full of colors we cannot see. Songs we cannot hear. Smells we cannot detect. A world of meaning, if only we could look with the right sight to unlock it.
