I Never Grew Up, It’s Getting So Old @noiclenordi - Tumblr Blog

The government banning an entire social network because they cannot control people using it and what you see and say on it, is really a great example of totalitarianism.

“tik tok is brainrot I’m glad it’s getting deleted” YOU are ignoring an early warning sign of fascism bc silly dances and asmr annoys u. tik tok ban is a part of a MUCH bigger bill that indicates any foreign app, if deemed a threat, can be banned if the owner does not sell it. aka the government is mad bc they cannot censor & their capitalist puppet masters are mad they aren’t making money from it. and if ur ok w that……hm

Favorite thing about the Red Note shenanigans: Mongolian ranchers suddenly gaining a rabid following of American horse girls and being like "we knew you had cowboys but we didn't know you value and love horses as friends like we do, this is excellent"

Mongolian rancher 🤝 American horse girl synergy I guess

Jortoise.

This was a big deal once.

Look at the CG animation on hair now:

oh my god, i remember watching the special features of the incredibles and they kept saying how difficult violet’s hair was to animate.

excuse me i think we’re forgetting someone else’s beautiful hair

YOU’RE RIGHT

Are we really overlooking the Disney/Pixar character with 2,320,413 individually animated hairs?

can’t forget this lil Dreamworks lady’s hair

One of the senior animators actually spent six fucking years trying to write a new program to animate Rapunzel’s hair.

adding to the comment above, it turns out that disney had to actually hire someone with a PhD in animating human hair to get rapunzel’s hair correct

a PhD in hair

Imagine hearing about Disney need someone with a hair PhD and finally being able to say:

“This is my time”.

Remember this the next time you want to complain about GMO’s, we may not have done it in a lab but they still are that.

Isn’t this more of a combination of selective breeding and GMOs? Not just GMOs?

thespectacularspider-girl

Yes. But people talk about how GMO’s are “unnatural”, yet for centuries humanity has been exploiting mutations in animals and plants to produce food for themselves.

GMO’s are simply the process of inducing these mutations reliably.

People hear “Lettuce being modified with scorpion DNA” and think that we’re now eating scorpions. But, in reality, they’re taking a tiny bit of scorpion DNA and splicing it into the plant. Why? So the plant will produce poison that is not harmful to humans but will deter insects, reducing the use of pesticide, which CAN be harmful to humans and the environment.

GMOs are producing rice that can survive flooding, which makes rice more reliable yields and will prevent food shortages in poor nations that rely on said crops for staple food.

GMOs are also creating spider-goat hybrids. Why? So we can splice web production into the goat’s udders. We’ll be able to spin huge quantities of spider silk, enough to reliably create spider silk cables and ropes, which have more tensile strength than steel.

I for one am glad I live in a time where watermelons aren’t giant tomato abominations

The issue with GMOs is that corporations like Monsanto are patenting GMOs and arresting indigenous farmers for cross pollinating with they seeds. But there is nothing dangerous about the science.
