Poison-Stripes' Tumblr

The official Tumblr of Poison-Stripes, the hybrid warrior with the scorpion tail! I am a human planeswalker from Earth and I'm cursed to transform into the physical manifestation of my doublesign zodiac sign. I consider myself an elemental mage, and I'm pretty damn good with a sword and with hand-to-hand combat. Anyway, welcome one and all to my little home here on the Aethernet. ((This was a personal blog but it has now become a proper askblog. Don't worry, guys, still working on making sure the two stay separate.)) Personal blog: http://ladysnake86.tumblr.com/

Gonna try to get this to be more active again

Btw when someone says "don't talk to me like that, I don't know you" the normal thing to do is apologize for the perceived overfamiliarity and correct the behavior. Just in case anyone was wondering

[mioxenoblade]

The human body is not inherently shameful or sexual. Breasts aren't sexual. Seeing people naked is not inherently sexual. The human body is natural and acting like it isn't does nothing but fuck people up.

Even Weird Al has had that™ experience with Tony Hawk

[packder]

[roguetelemetry]

Tony Hawk IS Forrest Gump

[foone]

So I looked up why and how this happened, and it turns out Weird Al hired a company called Birdhouse Skateboards to provide some “skate/punk” extras for the video. Birdhouse Skateboards is a company started by Tony Hawk, so not only did Weird Al end up putting Tony Hawk in his video without realizing it, he actually hired Tony Hawk’s company without realizing it! And then Tony Hawk just decided to go along as one of the extras himself.

BTW, he’d already won like 40 contests already, some of them international skateboarding contests. So it’s not like Weird Al cast some unknown skateboarder who ended up becoming World Famous Skateboarder, he was already well known and was running his own Skateboarding company.

Think of it this way. This wasn’t ‘Weird Al got Tony Hawk to be in his video’, this was ‘Tony Hawk found a way to be in a Weird Al Video.’

[cryoverkiltmilk]

The chance that Tony Hawk has infiltrated your location or piece of media is low

BUT NEVER ZERO.

We’re all goin here right

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

Imagine if play was something encouraged in adults, places to run and jump and climb because it's fun

I never know what the machines do at the gym, but i will clamber to the top of the tower to slide into a ball pit

[teenslib]

I am 100% certain I would be in better physical condition if adults were allowed to play in ways that focus on fun and aren't competitive.

I just went on a rant about plungers, how’s your day going?

[12u3ie]

“go off bestie”? Okay, I will.

This is a plunger.

Classic red cup with a wooden stick. We all know it, love it, and have seen a cartoon character using it to unclog a toilet. Right?

WRONG.

The image above is actually a drain plunger, used on sinks, showers, and baths. Not on toilets.

These are a toilet plungers.

Take note of the variations. Each of them have a flange of sorts at the bottom, either connected via a cup or more accordion-like tube. These are designed to actually get down into the toilet bowl where it flushes down, giving it more space and leverage to unclog blockages. See the example below:

Notice how the flange allows it to go deeper into the toilet to provide more power to the plunge. Sink/drain plungers are far less efficient and effective at the task.

Sink plungers can also have an accordion shape to help with power in plunging, but crucially do not have or need the flange that toilet plungers do.

To recap: cup plungers are for sinks, showers, bathtubs, and other drains. Flange and accordion plungers are for toilets. Notably, accordion plungers are slightly harder to use, but are more powerful when used correctly than their flange counterparts.

So the next time you see a cartoon, video game, or stock art depicting a cup plunger being used on a toilet, you can feel the same levels of anger and emotion that I do!

why does this have nearly 100 notes

[callmebliss]

Because with this level of passion, containment is futile 

[absurdly-useful]

The real question is why does this not have a million notes? This is information that will very likely, at some point, be incredibly useful to anyone who has indoor plumbing. Which is, you know, probably, 99.99% of this website's user base. (I'm sure there's someone out there using Tumblr who lives in a house built in 1850 which never got upgraded and they still have an outhouse rather than toilet.)

Hey, could you do me a favor?

The little RB statistics chart is so pleasant and stimmy to look at and I want to see what it looks like when it gets really REALLY huge because it makes me think of some deep sea lifeform

[rudjedet]

oh I mean I'll come out of my hyperfocus hidey hole for this and throw my 9k at it

[scuffledig]

self-flagellation and self-bullying are all bad motivators for change BTW. it can be hard to escape from a spiral but genuinely u have to be nice to urself or nothing will change

[scuffledig]

you have to take care of yourself and not punch yourself down because you feel like you 'deserve it'. if you feel like the world is against you, you should at least be on your own side while you work through things.

[poison-stripes]

//blog hasn't been used in a bit, I still RP on Discord but I am more than happy to RP here.

That's all.

[normal-horoscopes]

Y'all. "Hell is empty and the devil's are here" is not one of those epic Tumblr quotes. It's from The Tempest. The Shakespeare one.

[apolloendymion]

remember when that furry post went around with "you have nothing to lose but your chains" and people were saying "this is such a raw ass line and it's from a furry post" but it's literally karl marx

[mercymorns]

reading waiting for godot for class and finding out that’s where that “that’s how it is on this bitch of an earth” meme is from ruined me i think

[astraltrickster]

new game: "classic or shitpost?" in which we give you a raw-ass quote and you have to determine whether it came from an internet shitpost or classic literature

[vaspider]

What is classic literature but a shitpost persevering?

[ebrithilbowser]

@vaspider I guess that one is from Shakespeare

[vaspider]

Indeed.

Rating: CUTE

These isopods are not stressed, appear well cared for, and are showing normal isopod behavior.
