reblog if you love ao3 exactly how it is and you don’t want it to “update” or change in any way♡

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

These wonderful people have a single braincell to share but unfortunately none of them are using it

[fluoresensitives]

Body shame and embarrassment about vaginas, farts and poop were so normal when I was a kid so now going on tiktok and seeing people (especially women of all flavors, who've been told that to talk about such things is nasty) talking about being gassy is so... like this too is feminism. women of all gender experiences being able to say, 'wow. My junk itches and I need to fart and my pad is stuck to my bush' is so beautiful 🥲

[fluoresensitives]

from a generation of people who felt the need to whisper if they needed a pad or had an itch to beautiful women on tiktok discussing their ibs #womenslib

Stole this from somewhere but i think it’s appropriate

Great for my local PL team Bournemouth to get European football next season for the first time ever

[dramatic-dolphin]

please stop writing "viscous" when you mean "vicious", it produces the weirdest mental images ever

[dramatic-dolphin]

"a viscous murder" yeah i don't want to know what that could look like

[transmasc-wizard]

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

[krakenartificer]

#and vice versa btw#i don’t know what a vicious fluid would be like#and i don’t want to find out

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

i think this is…actually the most extreme stupid dove nest I’ve seen.

Today I cried a little bit because I remembered that when Beethoven conducted his ninth symphony for the first time he got a standing ovation and one of the sopranos had to turn him around to see the audience. 

[why-bless-your-heart]

I have never recovered from this illustration by Scott Cameron for Barbara Nichol’s “Beethoven Lives Upstairs.”

trust the sopranos to claim credit for the work of a contralto.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Can astrologers use astrological charts to understand people's character and lives? Our new study put astrologers to the test

Astrology is very popular — both Gallup and YouGov report that about 25% of Americans believe that the position of the stars and planets can

Astrology doesn't seem to work.

[intimate-mirror]

[performativezippers]

Some highlights:

Astrologers helped design the study

No one did better than random chance, even though they only included people in the study who are experienced with astrology and stated that they expect themselves to do better than random chance

They gave every astrologer a set of 50 things about a person and 5 birth charts to choose from. They weren’t even coming up with the chart themselves!

After taking the test, most thought they nailed it. Zero out of 152 did better than 5 out of 12. None nailed it

Astrologers who rated themselves highly experienced (“world class experts”) did the same or worse as those who said they have limited experience. Both performed the same as random chance

This is hilarious

[o-craven-canto]

That's got to be the funniest graph ever published in a paper

[chronicallyfucked15]

I am a psychology student and as part of our curriculum we need to work on studies. I genuinely don't think you understand how hilarious it is they were offering an award of 1000 bucks. It's SO goddamn hard to get any funding, let alone good funding, so whoever sponsored this really said "I BET you, no one will guess. And if they do? I'd pay to see it." for the love of the game. Beautiful.

What would you do if you were scrolling through recommended tumblr posts and one was from someone you don't know and it was just a picture of your dad captioned "fucking hate this guy" and it had hundreds of notes

[meshugenist]

reblog it

[rockergiirl]

samsung have announced they're releasing a smart toaster featuring an onboard AI chatbot

[rockergiirl]

samsung released blog post regarding their new smart toaster and complaints from customers

We hear you are all disappointed with the AI capabilities of our new smart toaster, and rest assured we hear your complaints. However, we are confident people will grow to love their new smart toaster AI companion, and will regard them as a bright cheerful addition to their day. If you find its constant requests for you to always eat toast, we suggest adopting a more toaster-friendly diet.

[rockergiirl]

yes removing the speaker will void the warranty

[default-cube]

i thought this was a joke since a toaster is just about the most ridiculous thing to add a chatbot to, but no, it's real

I'm not the only one thinking about Unauthorized Bread, right?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Also, way too many of you in the notes are not checking linked sources.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#Rick roll#Unauthorized Bread#Okay but while reading Unauthorized Bread the page refreshed seven times to give me new ads as I scrolled#They were appliance and Amazon ads#The irony is not lost#Toaster

I'm sorry but that's very funny

[dragon-in-a-fez]

the phrase "this machine kills fascists" has gone through enough layers of meaning that I think it's come all the way back around to where the funniest thing you could put it on would be a gun

Tchaikovsky at the cannon store:

[luggifer4]

not to be That Guy but i think the 1812 overture is stretching the limits of "folk music" a little bit

[dragon-in-a-fez]

the 1812 Overture uses themes from Russian folk music, primarily a song called U Vorot, Vorot, to represent the Russian army

[luggifer4]

...yeah that makes sense. i would stand corrected if i wasn't sitting down

[dragon-in-a-fez]

tbh I kind of assumed people would be more likely to question my assertion that there's such a place as a cannon store

[mugknife]

Of course not there's a cannon store in Gorbachev

[dragon-in-a-fez]

it's spelled Goncharov
