ninetyeightpointsix

Just another broken individual on this wretched planet. I double as a crappy tumblr roleplayer, who drops 98.6% of my threads because of who I am as a person. According to Philip Mackowiak only 8% of humans actually have the 'normal' body temperature of 98.6° Also the Imperial and US customary measurement systems need to die already! Who chose this blog's name? ... oh... right...

eating sugar is not a primary cause of diabetes. eating junk food is not a primary cause of diabetes. when you make jokes about "getting diabetes" over sugary, junk filled food, you are enforcing stereotypes that end with diabetics developing deadly eating disorders or experiencing medical abuse and neglect. Yes, it is that deep. Stop making diabetes jokes, you look like an uneducated bigot

[isuggestgetfatter]

In general joking about diabetes is ableist and like terrible but in this case it is also deeply fatphobic :]:]:] you are framing disability as a punishment for overindulgence and that is wrong in two separate levels :]:]:]

[fatphobiabusters]

I need to add that there's no "junk filled food." That type of view encourages diet culture, eating disorders, and fatphobia as well. You're allowed to eat cake.

As someone who has diabetic family members...for the love of everything, don't fall for the "evil sugar" propaganda. It's doing nothing but instilling eating disorders and unhealthy eating habits not just for kids but for adults as well. You're not helping. You're not being supportive. You're not "spreading awareness about the dangers of sugar." You're being an asshole and making others feel guilty for their condition.

I always get a lot of comments about the 2-key pony keyboard. I wanted to explain how I think they could work. I've been told there is an input device called orbiTouch which works on the same principle.

I was thinking about how ‘Grinch’ and ‘Scrooge’ are words for people who hate Christmas but aren’t exact synonyms and then this chart happened.

[orionskittles]

HELP???

[weaselle]

it checks out.

however, the inevitable conclusion is that, since scrooge is the opposite of santa (one always giving, the other never giving) the other pair must be opposites

and if jesus is the son of god, then the opposite of that means

the Grinch is the devil’s dad.

[ninety-eightpointsix]

Satan's dad used to date Tony the Tiger?! The lore goes deeper than I ever imagined!

To quote Chris Fleming

"You know that thing where the most toxic person you've ever met over-relates to woodland creatures on social media? I call it Vibe Dysphoria. She'll put up a picture of a mouse in a jean jacket with 'It's me.' That is not you. I don't know how you got under the impression that you are a mouse in a jean jacket. You are an eel with a gun.She posts a toad with a basket of mushrooms like 'Me doing my little things.' Oh madam, there is nothing little about your things. You gave me psychosexual issues I'll carry to my watery grave. You are not a toad in the forest...You are a cruel woman who just happens to be small."--Chris Fleming

It’s like the Dumbo story, you’ve all probably seen it

[archive-archive-siren-deactivat]

several of my system parts are literal manifestations of the harm i know i could be capable of.

you are human. you are capable of the same thing as every other human. that includes bigotry. hatred. violence. enabling and taking part in acts like genocide.

it is the very reason you are capable of such evils that your choice to be kind and compassionate, to directly act against such evil have weight. it's why what you do matters.

and that includes how you treat yourself.

[stonesense]

this is going to make me sound insane and nitpicky but do you ever feel like sometimes in fanart when people draw male characters they go out of their way to capture their unique facial features and then when they draw female characters they draw like a generic woman face and call it a day

[stonesense]

please ignore how i started this post i’ve been vindicated by everyone in the notes and i now feel confident enough to say i am not insane and nitpicky and also we should attack people with hammers

Ok but pls actually do this people. There is no such thing as a good person. Stop trying to be one and starting trying to do good instead

Studies have shown that increasing police presence or numbers does nothing to stop crimes. If you really want to prevent crime increase welfare programs.

Most people don’t commit crimes because they want to. Most do it out of desperation. There’s more Jean Valjeans in this world than most people are willing to acknowledge.

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

[apocalypse-angel]

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

[gayweeddaddy69]

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

[senshibignaturals]

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

Literally less than a year ago we were adding cool spins to it like “Sliding Up Tokyo Tower” how did we downgrade so hard?

[crimsoncadmium]

We even got live action slide

[bellatrixmelody]

The slide in the first post bothers the fuck out of me because he’s using his right leg to slide on the ground.

So, I ride a motorcycle and I know at least the theory of doing a power slide (still cool but you don’t slide nearly so much and you need a pretty light bike to do it most of the time). You have to lock the back wheel until your back wheel looses grip on the road and then turn sharply to the left. Rear wheel slides and the front wheel turns.

But how do you lock the back wheel you might ask? Well with your rear break of course.

WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY UNDER YOUR RIGHT FOOT! How the FUCK is he locking the back wheel, with his shifter on his left foot??? Not possible. The creators of Akira knew it, and so did everyone that homaged it. The post above gets it right even if he’s likely on a slider and being pulled back.

[vespertinecat]

This is why I love tumblr. Where else could I find gifs of back to back tribute references and a perfect explanation of why the above doesn't work and how you would need to do everything to ideally execute to move in question? Thank you for explaining, fellow tumblr friend.

[carolinskyy]

the biggest problem with it is the fact that theres no sense of momentum at all, the bike looks like its going at about walking speed and theres no sparks or dust or anything, and the gratuitous slow mo just kills any momentum even further

[tookas-have-teeth]

Y’all “critical thinking” does not equal “criticism”.

[tookas-have-teeth]

I am very tired of saying positive things about characters and getting told I need to do some critical thinking (so that I’ll see the characters are actually bad). No. That’s not how that works. I already did some critical thinking and came to the conclusions that these characters are wonderful. Criticism or straight up character bashing is not more enlightened and is not how critical thinking works. “Critical thinking” is not “thinking about all the bad or problematic aspects of something.” It’s looking objectively at evidence, looking at context, recognizing and examining personal biases and assumptions, considering what assumptions and biases are being used in a given argument by other people, etc. Sometimes this process brings up criticisms, yes, but sometimes it also leads to the conclusion that something is actually good despite it being made out to be bad. 

[athingofvikings]

[scriptmedic]

Critical Thinking means making room for nuance and shades of gray. Not criticize stuff I don't like.

Also, it's okay to find something you absolutely detest and still recognize the craft and genius in it.

[hogsnout-deactivated20230817]

As you might be aware I have big feelings about all besnouted creatures, but recently something has been grating on me. Sometimes, when people draw a snout animal, they draw the snout as a nose with the mouth as a separate entity underneath. This is a stylistic choice I greatly dislike because a snout or trunk is, by definition

A COMBINATION OF THE NOSE AND UPPER-LIP.

You can see here that the snout is not a separate entity from the mouth in these mammals, but is a fleshy protuberance emanating from the upper jaw. 

You can see in this illustration how a more anatomically accurate snout position gives an anthropomorphic pig a degree of charm that an inaccurate snout position does not.

Snout positioning can make or break a character design for me.

I made lowpoly locs just to see if I could

Main Blog | Sonic Blog

[yagamimi-string]

I dont think I ever clarified that I just went in and modeled her locs vertex by vertex. I placed every single polygon by hand. No curves and nothing procedural about it. Im too picky for that

and then i went in and manually placed Every bone

AND THEN I WENT AND TEXTURED EACH INDIVIDUAL LOC
