For a second I didnāt realize it meantĀ āhighā as in a stonerāI thoughtĀ āHigh Geologistā was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones
great poast every oneš
I have drawn himā¦. The High Geologist
Canāt believe heās ace
He is now And hereās the photo evidence:
hey guysā¦https://twitter.com/MatthewLillard/status/1322648148364324864 so does this make it canon?
the high geologist has ascended
every time i see this post it getsā¦. better? but also weirder.
I always gotta reblog the High Geologist once in a while.
I love this too much.
Tell me golden jackals donāt look like the weird lovechild between a wolf and a fox

TIL that the English wordĀ āLordā in the sense of the head of an estate comes from an Old English word of Germanic origins,Ā hlÄfweard, laterĀ hlÄford, later lord.Ā
Normally I wouldnāt remark on my romps through etymology, butĀ āhlafweardā is a compound of hlaf, or loaf, and weard, which means guardian (see also Ward or Warden, etc). Meaning that when you call someone a lord you are calling him an esteemed keeper of the bread.Ā
HEY THERE BREADBOX PETER WIMSEY. LOAF GUARD PALPATINE. BREAD CLIP VETINARI.Ā
Lady also derives from hlaf, but in this case hlafdige or bread kneader. She makes the bread, he monitors it. Women have to do all the work as usual.Ā
Now, the reason I was looking this up was that I wanted to develop a gender-neutral analogue to lord/lady; there are analogues already out there naturally, but the Shivadh must be different and anyway I didnāt like the ones Iād seen suggested online.Ā
Given that the origins of Lord and Lady arenāt all that strongly gendered anyway (theyāre about what the person does, not what their gender is), I decided that if a woman is a bread-kneader and a man is a bread-guarder, a nonbinary person should be A BREAD EATER, which would be Hlafetan.Ā Ā
Thus I present to you the gender-neutral analogue to Lord or Lady: Ledan.Ā Ā

I'm watching the Annihilation movie and I'm trying to watch it as its own thing and not as an adaptation, I already know it's not particularly faithful and that doesn't have to be a problem, but it's so hard when so many of the changes are just objectively Worse
The main character is not into ecology any more and is instead a cell biologist. She is teaching a class on cancer. And then her husband comes back from Area X and starts dying, but just of, like, dyingness, not cancer

i recently found out the funniest thing about big horses recently which is that for centuries humans have sworn that the feathering on big horseās legs has been bred in there for a reason, and the reason given is usually something to do with how it helps keep the joints warm and safe when the big horse is doing hauling work in fields.
the thing is: it doesnāt appreciably do that, because the feathers wick up water and mud, which cancels out any insulation advantage they might hypothetically confer, and also it wasnāt even put there on purpose.
the Leg Get More Hair gene is just linked to the Bones Get More Big gene. when you breed any lineage of horses to have bigger bonesānot just taller, but chunkierāthe leg hair just happens anyway. so every single breed of draft horse has feathered legs, and even carriage horses like friesians get feathers once they hit a certain threshold of lorge.
when you supersize your horse, mother nature throws in a free pair of booties. how cool is that?
Ahhh, what a great example of linked traits! And also shows why evolution gets so complicated
what ARE your anti-dipshit with a clipboard and a confident stride measures?
āYou are not allowed into the facility without presenting identification. Okay, lovely. I also need your site specific training for specific hazards of this location. Okay, thank you, finding that on record. Okay, so who is your plant contact? And what work are you here to do precisely? Your work order number should be on the job assessment that your supervisor should have been sent when setting up this jobā¦.oh? Youāre missing any one of those things? Sorry I cannot allow you into the facility today.ā
If someone shows up and is missing any single one of these or canāt come up with a plant contact name? They get turned away.
I have in the last week in fact had a dude scream at me because I would not simply let him in. He was insisting he was here to meet with a maintenance manager to see about repairing some of their equipment. Problem with this is that he said āyour maintenance managerā
We have like seven maintenance managers who each specialize in specific departments or systems or projects. Not a single one. Someone saying āTHEā manager of anything here is, 100% of the time, trying to fish info out of me.
So I ask WHICH one, and he gets upset, and finally says the name of a dude who retired three years ago. I say āno, he does not work here, any other contact information you have?ā
Now, what this dude wanted, 100%, is to go into the plant with his pickup truck and steal scrap metal and he was trying to Bavarian fire drill his way in. It did not work. He didnāt have any other names or contact info or appointment information or anything that could verify that he was supposed to be there. He was HOPING that when he screamed at me that heād talk to someone and have me fired that Iād go āno no itās fine of courseā. If I HAD done that I WOULD have been fired. I didnāt. He left. Havenāt heard shit. Knew I wouldnāt. Wrote up an incident report with his description and vehicle description so now everyone knows whatās up with him.
Thatās how you defeat a dude with a clipboard and a confident stride.
OP has it absolutely right, and I want to ride on these coattails to tell a different kind of anti-sneak story.
I worked front desk for a company that had a LOT of sales people cold calling us about shit. They wanted to sell us office supplies, supplies more specific to our business, seminars for our employees, every damn thing you could think of. Our company was part of a much bigger company, so they assumed we had a ton of money to spend on contracts, gear, whatever. Enter Peter Jenkins - name changed for privacy reasons.
Our website listed Peter Jenkins as head of Sales and Marketing, or something to that effect, and he was essentially the go-to for anyone trying to sell us something. As the front desk person, I manned the single fax machine of the office, and Iād get several sales-oriented flyers that had things hand-scribbled in the corner: āFor Peter, as per our chat last week! Take care!ā Iād get tons of calls that needed to be directed to Peterās line. Lots of people were cold calling⦠but several said that Peter was expecting a call back from them.
Peter did not exist.
āPeterā had a voicemail inbox that was regularly emptied without being checked, an email inbox that was never checked, and basically served as an incredible litmus test for sales peopleās honesty. We once had someone come in saying they had a meeting booked with Peter - I asked them to sit and wait, called up a high-ranking person in the office, and asked them if Peter was in the office today, because someone was here for a booked meeting with him. Said high-ranking person said please take down all their information and let them know Peter was not in today, could they please email Peter to reschedule. I think we blacklisted that company within a few hours of that salesperson walking out.
Development of bipinnaria larvae of the Luidia sarsii starfish.
absolutely incredible metamorphosis on these buddies, that orange back end is the only part that continues on as an adult. they grow an entire new digestive tract in a different direction and switch from 2-way to 5-way symmetry. then they just discard the rest! itās like they hatch from inside themselves
seriously?? imagine if human babies had their normal shape but then a whole other body attached to them that they just lost like baby teeth?? wtf?? nature is weirder than fiction
WAIT WAIT itās WEIRDER i looked this up and wikipedia says: āThe larva of the species attains an unusual size (up to 35 mm[1]) and a juvenile starfish develops inside the larva. During metamorphosis the juvenile migrates to the outside and detaches from the swimming larval bipinnaria stage. The larva continues to live separately for several months.[2]ā
??? whaat ???
imagine if your lost baby teeth got up and WALKED AWAY
they said the digestive tract changes directions, so I think this is like if you grew up and then your butt crawled away and you were the butt now
#or maybe itās like if u grew up and gave birth to ur butt and the butt was u #nobody tell me if Iām wrong
what even is an āIā that could possibly be wrong at this point
that first tag is giving me an existential crisis
