The best part is OP got fired because their boss asked why they weren’t “incorporating blockchain technology” into the video switcher they were building and OP straight up said “you have no idea what you’re talking about” and went to lunch

im not one to gatekeep anything but sometimes in my writing classes i begin to believe maybe you do need to be a little miserable or fucked up to be a good writer. i had to edit some guys personal essay that was supposed to be about overcoming struggle and he wrote about the stock market crash this year and how it effected his discord server

Tardigrade corn maze at Treinen Farm in Wisconsin.

[xignis]

theres something deep about such a small animal being drawn on such a large scale like do they know does the tardigrade know of their own portrait that is comparable to thousands of universes in length on their scale? a portrait drawn by beings that they know nothing about, but whom know so much about them? beings who live in an entirely other world, yet still admire the small tardigrade? admiration enough to give a tardigrade a glimpse of a micro and macro world in mirror, to let the tardigrade feel what is felt by those who know them? im not crying about the tardigrade cornfield, im not 

[sigridkaffen]

Can you imagine, though, if there are beings as big to is as we are to tartigrades? And they made a portrait of us out of galaxies or something?

That's a fun thing to think about.

this is exactly what moved me to reblog, but the feeling was so immense that i couldn't make words around it.

what's the tour montarvaprpawrqr or whatever french shit that word is?

ok im gonna infodump about fucked up buildings for a second so this is probably gonna be long

tour montparnasse in paris is my least favourite building in the entire world and i am slightly obsessed with it just bc of how much it sucks. its an office building and if you saw it from up close you might think ok this is a building. like its a little bland but theres nothing special about it

but then you zoom out a little 

wow!!! what the fuck. that is so ugly. it literally looks like someone jammed a tv remote into the earth and i hate it so much. also this is paris so this monstrosity is within BLOCKS of the eiffel tower and just completely destroys the view. its so evil that there is now an 8 storey building limit in the area to prevent anything this criminal from happening again

some other shitty buildings i like include marina city chicago aka the corn cob buildings, which were designed with the idea in mind of a building with no right angles since ‘right angles do not appear in nature’

and rainier tower in seattle, which honestly just makes me anxious

but my FAVOURITE shitty building is part of the sydney university of technology (uts) campus

not just because it looks like someone made a building out of wet cardboard, but because the original design sketch is a work of art and it makes me cry laughing every time i look at it

behold 

fucking impeccable. thank u for listening

Upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherers around 50,000 years ago

Desire paths are just the best human invention because cities will spend millions on sidewalks and yet. Our little foraging brains will think ‘too far cut thru grass for food’ and others will be like ‘other human have good idea. I follow’ until there’s a beaten path when there’s perfectly acceptable sidewalks to either side

[starfleetacademy]

For example

[gamebird]

I was told that after laying out new buildings at Oklahoma State University a few decades ago, they held off on both sod and walkways for several months. People complained mightily about the dirt and occasional mud, but then the construction crews came back in and put paths along all the worn areas and sod where no one had walked. After that, no more complaints and the paths exactly matched where people wanted to walk.

[silly-jellyghoty]

That's the only reasonable way how to build paths. No matter how great right angles look like, people won't follow the grid. We are not a packman.

tell me something nice

[kyraneko]

if you grow mushrooms over a toxic waste site, chemical spill, or other polluted growing medium, they will suck up the toxins into their fruiting bodies with such effectiveness that they are being studied for their ability to clean up tainted industrial sites. it’s called mycoremediation.

if you do this with edible mushrooms, they are no longer technically edible, but on the other hand they make a great way to poison your enemies. this is called murder and it’s usually frowned upon, but they won’t see it coming and you get bragging rights afterwards about your ability to kill people with a pizza topping.

[kyraneko]

Sorry this was not precisely most people’s idea of “nice.” Let me add that you are a glow of comforting absurdity in an ever-more-fucked-up world.

[mirage358]

I love everything about mycoremediation, but also

I experienced this when I used to pay Pokemon competitively back when I was in college. I decided to throw a little casual tournament for fun and to get people together. 

First I was bombarded with questions about a prize. I mentioned one on my flyer, and many people were expecting cash. When I informed them the prize was minor (a rare in game shiny pokemon), half of the entrants dropped out. Several of them went to lengths insulting me in my email for wasting their time. 

Next it was about the rules. People were wondering if I was using the “official Smogon rules” for the tourney. I told them no, this is a casual tournament, that’s a little too serious for this. I got dozens of emails proceeding to tell me how wrong I was, how dare I blaspheme the gospel that is the Smogon rules, and it just never ended.

In fact, it pissed me off so much I banned any “official Smogon” recommended moveset. People were furious and told me that I can’t do that. I informed them its my tournament, I can make any rule I damn well please. This instance was one of the few things that made me give up competitive play. 

Basically, anyone who takes a game meant for fun and takes it way too seriously just ends up ruining the fun for everyone else. To them its not fun, its a full dedicated passion to proving they’re better than you, not a jolly good time its supposed to be.

this happened twice to me. the first was when i was in japan and i stuffed my luggage with calbee cereal. the TSA person asked me why on earth i just have cereal and i explained that im addicted to it and my country sells it for twice as much so i just gotta hoard it

second time was when i flew within US. my luggage was full of snacks and the TSA agent said “wow ur afraid to be hungry huh” i just sheepishly smiled as he tried to zip my luggage full of chips and chocolate
