Nobody talk to me ever again I'm too busy thinking about these two pages

[bunjywunjy]

so the megalodon is most definitely extinct? how do scientists know?

well, the thing about large predators is that they leave an impact on an ecosystem big enough that you can tell they’re there, even if you never observe one directly. in this case, we know they’re definitely extinct because of the behavior of whales! whales used to max out at about 50 ft long and were fast and agile, entirely because of predation by megalodon!

but about 2 million years ago, our whales began to rapidly increase in size until we ended up with real monsters like the blue whale. this pretty directly lines up with the extinction of megalodon, and the removal of the pressure they were putting on large whale populations.

basically, large whales can get away with being gigantic, slow tanks in the oceans today because there simply isn’t a predator big enough to take them on anymore. if megalodon still existed, we would be seeing its impact on whale populations! whales would be smaller, and a hell of a lot more skittish than they are.

everything in a given ecosystem is connected, and you can often get important information about the unknown parts by observing the behavior of other parts of the ecosystem.

[bogleech]

All this, and the fact that if the ocean had sharks as big as Megalodon and had enough of them to sustain the species at all, we would have found at least one Megalodon tooth washed up on a beach somewhere that wasn’t fossilized. More likely, we would have found hundreds of such teeth every year for as long as we have existed. “We didn’t know giant squid existed!” is a common argument I see from cryptozoologists, but it’s also flat out false. We did know. We knew there were giant squid for centuries because we found remains of them for centuries. We simply hadn’t captured or filmed a live one!

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Okay, so I am well aware that this isn’t at all how evolution or natural selection works, but I still want a horror film that begins with a pair of scientists with dramatic music playing in the background as they pour over piles of records, until one of them turns to the other and says “it’s the whales. They’re becoming smaller, and more skittish.”

The other scientist looks out the window, over the sea. “Mother of god,” she whispers.

[milkchuggs]

Alternatively;

We begin to find giant shark teeth washing up on shore. People freak out. “Scientists find evidence megalodons never went extinct!”

Then the lead scientist calms everyone down so they can explain. “No. It’s worse than that. If they never went extinct, we would’ve found evidence like this before now. This means… ” Dramatically takes off glasses. 

“They’ve just come back.”

[animeengineer]

“But they can’t just suddenly come back like that!”

“You’re right. Someone brought them back.”

I’m pretty sure that I was the one driving when we all got into this little circus car but now I’m wedged under the back seat and the clowns have just ramped us off the grandstands and directly onto the popcorn cart

[headspace-hotel]

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

[uncivilliberties]

The moon is also absolutely gargantuan by moon standards. It isn't the largest moon in the solar system, but it is BY FAR the largest in comparison with its planet. Ganymede is the largest satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. Its diameter is only about 3.8% of Jupiter's. Titan's radius is 4.4% of Saturn's. Callisto and Io are the next largest in the neighborhood, with 3.4% and 2.6% the diameter of Jupiter respectively.

Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.

This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.

Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that the moon is extremely cool. I like the moon.

[willowdove]

Just want to add that the reason we have such a large moon is because a whole planet crashed into proto-Earth. Theia (the planet) and Earth got so superheated by this collision that their component cores fused and the impact jettisoned a lot of material into space. That massive amount of jettisoned material became our moon. So Earth and the moon have very similar composition. This does not seem to be a common method of lunar formation.

I’m currently reading time travel fics for a rec list, and a really common trope is Marinette/Ladybug seeing future!Chat and losing her mind over how hot he is.

And there’s nothing wrong with that trope because, let’s face it, Chat IS going to grow up to be hot af

But it also ignores that Chat is ALREADY hot af. 14 year old Adrien is 14 year old Marinette’s idea of physical perfection. She’s just in denial when it comes to Chat. (Because of reasons.)

So I just feel like Marinette wouldn’t get an immediate nosebleed upon seeing future!Chat?

Give me Marinette begrudgingly admitting (but only to herself) that Chat is KIND OF good looking. Maybe. A little bit. And being PISSED about it. Like how DARE that stupid cat grow up to be attractive?? Ugh, he’s probably so smug about it too!

And then she’s snapping at him even more than usual and Chat has no idea what he did wrong 😂

[chatonnoir-deactivated20251011]

Things for Ladybug to be mad at Future Chat Noir about:

That he’s about as attractive as her Chat Noir but he has a lil ponytail that’s making her act up (Catwalker flashbacks)

That he got taller (despite the fact that Futurebug also got taller)

That his face matured and she wants her soft babyfaced Chaton back

That he knows about her crush on Adrien and is teasing her about it and Why is he so okay with it!!!!! Did he move on from Ladybug??? Unacceptable

That he made fun of Present Day Chaton for being a little shrimp and Hey!!! She’s the only one who’s allowed to tease Chat Noir!!!

That he seems to know exactly what she needs to hear even better than Present Chat Noir does and it’s not fair because he has secret knowledge

That he said some self deprecating things about how he was when he was younger and Hey shut the hell up her Chaton is her best friend and the ONLY partner for her and [continued for 7 straight minutes]

That he dared to point out the fact that she keeps saying “My Chat Noir” when differentiating between him and Present Chat Noir

That he accidentally let slip that he’s married and What happened to saying his heart belonged to Ladybug!?!?!! How could her Friend cheat on her like this!!!!! (She did not put together that his beloved wife is in fact Futurebug)

[opakitty-deactivated20231218]

Ladybug: How could you? I thought what we had was special. Is this how little you feel for me? All those flattery and compliments, were they all lies?

Chat Noir: I-

Ladybug: No, I don’t want to hear anything. You said your heart belonged to Ladybug. What happened to that?

Chat Noir: If you just let me fini-

Ladybug crying to herself: See? I thought at least you would be honest. But you didn’t mean anything. You MARRIED SOMEONE ELSE!

Chat Noir: WILL YOU LET ME FINISH MY GODDAMN SENTENCE, BUGINETTE?

[take-my-eeveelution]

Ladybug: My heart belongs to Adrien and only Adrien! Chat, just move on already!

Also Ladybug, to FutureNoir: If what I think is gonna happen, has happened? It better not have.

[lily-frog-trash]

POV: you’re ladybug and you’re falling in love with your partner

[nikz-artea]

I've stayed away from all social media in case that spoilers or leaks are still going around because I want to rewatch Season 5, including the ones that just aired last week... I decided to check on something on Twitter and WHAT DID I JUST SAW??? MARICHAT??? KISSING???

Bruh, I'm screaming. I want to watch now but I just want to be emotionally wrecked in chronological order Ó╭╮Ò

[meggie-stardust]

I know a ton of people have said this before but for the love everything PLEASE stop treating AO3 like instagram. It is NOT cringe to comment on an old story. It’s an archive old stories are still meant to be found and read. Please think about interacting with the fic you read: at least kudos if you read it, a comment would be ideal. The authors will be over the moon. I guarantee you not a single author is going to ask why someone is commenting on an older fic.

[mirrorbird]

I LIVE for my morning "You've got kudos" email. I have to fan myself if there's a comment.

[suntara]

my favorite love language is trying, actually

[suntara]

like when people try to learn your hobbies or try to play the same sports that you play in an effort to get closer to you, people who try to love you the way you love people, people who will go to places you want to visit just for your sake, people remembering, putting in an effort. just. trying

In a series of completely unrelated coincidences, the same family moves into a haunted house, attracts the attention of a local poltergeist, purchases an evil ventriloquist dummy, activates a witch’s curse, and adopts the newborn antichrist, all in the same week.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the parents are so distracted by the major life changes of moving to a new town & caring for a baby that they completely fail to notice.

supernatural occurrences mostly get blamed on the fact they are living in an old house they bought as a fixer upper:

of course it’s full of strange drafts and weird noises–the insulation is a mess and there’s a family of racoons in the attic

no shit the lights are flickering, the previous owners tried to do the electrical wiring themselves and now the whole place is a fire hazard

yes the ventriloquist dummy keeps appearing in strange places, Little Suzie is always leaving her toys lying around, at least this is less dangerous than the roller skates on the stairs.

and ok sure it’s a bit weird that household objects are levitating, but this town is built on a huge fault line and the realtor warned us about microearthquakes

meanwhile, the supernatural entities are all at war with their unwanted spooky roommates. at some point they get so busy terrorizing each other they forget to haunt the humans

[aquagirl555]

and the antichrist has an attentive, loving, and caring older sister to keep them happy and entertained

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

and (as previously discussed!) parents who are chill and treat the ensuing demonic events as normal childhood behavioral problems. they get the antichrist a child therapist 

[chaotic-ourple]

WHY does Tumblr always come up with the best concepts

[creativefangirling123]

Please tell me this family also adopts a cat at some point, please! Like the poor poltergeist is trying to haunt the family but everything that gets knocked over or thrown around is blamed on the cat 

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

The cat has destructive tendancies and after awhile the poltergeist is too discouraged to even bother breaking anything, bc sooner or later the cat will get around to it anyway

[autumnimagining]

Occasional messages daubed on the wall or mirror in what looks like blood are written off as the child/ren being mischievous with paints. Plus, now it’s a motivator to repaint that wall that was looking hideous anyway.

[spoonyglitteraunt]

Also one or both of the parents have ADHD

Things going missing. Have you checked in the fridge dear?

Chairs in the middle of the room. Probably forgot I was going to sweep the floor.

That banging in the wall. It triggered a long forgotten song and they are now humming in tune without thinking.

Kid suddenly talking in tongues? Darn their audio processing is bad again today. Just nod and carry on.

Time stands still, they black out for hours. What else is new? at least they’re still on time to pick up the kids from daycare.

Sudden freezing temperatures. Yeesh they clearly were too distracted to notice the temps changes, probably should turn up the heater.

Odd messages on the mirror. Huh one of us must have wanted a reminder.

So the Kid is weird? Meh what is normal anyway, we know a good therapist and some love and understanding can fix anything. They’ll grown into it. We did. The creepy doll gets treated as another beloved member of the family (the Kid thinks it is alive and it’s important to encourage imagination) to the point where it’s so confused and unable to do anything bad, because everything gets met with Parenting™ and why does being hugged all the time feel so warm?

The poltergeist can’t do anything to draw enough attention. The parents are bigger disasters of chaos than they could ever possibly be. So you know what? Fine! If they can’t be a hindrance, they’ll be aggressively helpful and make sure no things are ever forgotten in this house again. Writing reminders everywhere.

The house initially tries to creak and break and cause upset, but all it gets is one of the parents suddenly hyper-fixating on undoing whatever mess they believe a previous owner caused. And then getting decorated in pretty colours and motifs, because everyone needs a bit of dopamine. Apparently even a haunted house.

A witch’s curse? Meh nothing worse than living in the current capitalist hell scape how would they know the difference. And if there at one point happens to turn up an old woman to give ominous warnings they just assume the lady is lonely and neglected and we might as well invite her in for tea. And cake. And want to meet the kids? Before she knows it, she’s been adopted as an honorary grandmother.

And that’s how this becomes the most quirky, protective and loving household in the entire town.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

[nikz-artea]

As a reckless person, do you ever get suspicious and anxious whenever it's been days and no accident occured yet? So you're like, just get on with it already! And when it came you're just, "Ah, there it is." Then be calm because it's gonna be normal again?
