sorry boss, can't work today, i've been overcome with awe for life and the drive to spend my time immersed in the beauty of existence. yeah no i finished those spreadsheets though.

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.

In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

I don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but a peer-reviewed scientific journal just published a study that included the above image.

PEER. REVIEWED.

We, as a society, are so boned.

[curlicuecal]

I'm losing my mind

How did something this obviously AI art insane make it through peer review??

Every figure is incomprehensible

look at them, the stem cells are eating the probe

just in it for the love of the game

Hi newt! There's an alligator at my work with the same name as you.

Love that they named an animal after another animal, like, "This is my cat, Pigeon."

[localoceanqueer]

This is my cat, Pigeon...

[prosocialbehavior]

this is my cat, Pigeon :)

[notwiselybuttoowell]

This is my cat, Pigeon 🤷‍♀️

[c3rvida3]

Beautiful pigeons, everybody. Particularly enchanted by the last one, who appears to be some sort of nun.

This has been going around my work and friend group on other platforms, and I thought it deserved a place here too.

We should do the opposite of live action remakes. Live action movies but remake them as cartoons.

Die Hard, but drawn by Don Bluth. The Godfather, but animated in that shakeymotion like Home Movies, and the dialog is improv'd. Psycho, but animated like stiff 1995 Pixar CGI

Thank you, Snoop Logg...
