KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.

do you ever have someone say something that has so many layers of wrongness that your brain just hits a brick wall? I had that with this guy. he leaned over to share a fun fact with me: “did you know, scientists have answered an age old riddle: what came first, the chicken or the egg? they extracted a protein and found it was the egg.”

and I had to blink for like 20 seconds before answering. I said well, that depends on how you’re defining the question, because the ability to lay eggs predates chickens by quite a bit. but if you’re asking what came first, the chicken or the chicken egg, it would be the chicken because whatever minuscule mutation it is that theoretically makes us consider a chicken a chicken would be in the embryo inside a not-chicken egg. and then that chicken would grow up and lay a chicken egg. but the question is actually nonsense because there’s no clear line you can draw between ‘chicken’ and ‘not a chicken’, and species as a concept is actually more artificial than you think. I can use ‘ring species’ as an example to help illustrate that, if you want. so say a deer species lives on a u-shaped island with a giant impassable mountain in the center. because of gene flow, all the populations living beside eachother will be able to interbreed. but, because the populations on either side of the u have theoretically been separate for millions of years, they can’t interbreed. is it all one species? is it multiple species? where do you draw the line? is it based on external features? on genome? because even those break down under scrutiny. so you see, the chicken and the egg question is just nonsense. also what protein. what protein did the scientists discover in the egg.

and he stammered and said “I don’t know.” and then later I realized that he’d been trying to flirt with me

animated fantasy films just don’t make fucked up evil castles like they used to

All the people in the notes saying 'that's too busy'... maybe this post just wasn't aimed at you.

[breelandwalker]

"That's Too Busy." So sorry you were raised on Landlord White with occasional forays into Shades Of Beige and can't handle patterns or saturation in your colors.

After resurrection, did your Shepard “come back wrong”? (Open to interpretation)

Came back with all the same memories, skills, & personality. Simply woke up

Partial amnesia, but same skills and temperament

Full amnesia, but same skills and temperament

Memories & personality intact, but skills got screwed up (biotics/muscle memory)

Remembers everything+performs fine in combat, but seems like a different person

There are bits and pieces missing everywhere, but it’s still them, somehow

The person they were is gone.

Something else!

As always, Shepard lore dumps are welcome.

[nerdfordragons]

Trinity Shepard woke up simply the same though Miranda and the scientists swear they screwed something up because this woman was not the polished soldier all over the vids. Garrus and Tali simply laugh "She's just not under a career microscope and has been freed from the burdens of filters."
