honestly at this point, what HASN’T The Simpsons predicted for the future???
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
They didn’t predict Pokemon Go, that’s for sure.

Though, this doesn’t discount those other times The Simpsons seemed to have predicted the future.
These purge threats are not a joke. Please stay safe
112 people have been killed in Chicago by a group of people reenacted the purge movies. If your city has been listed as a target; Detroit, MI (8/15) Louisville, KY (8/15), Jacksonville, FL (8/31); please stay inside and take precautions.
THIS IS FAKE

IF YOU HEAR SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS LIKE MASS MURDER COMMITTED BY TEENAGE MOVIE FANS GOOGLE BEFORE YOU SPREAD PANIC INDUCING MISINFORMATION
Yeah, the fact that people have been blogging this believing it to be true is not surprising at all. seriously, 112 deaths due to a movie? That would literally be the top news story from every single news outlet.
HOWEVER, there is an online social media attempt at something like the Purge.

Whether or not this is a hoax or just some idiots trying to pull a prank is unknown for now, so it's best just to be safe. Especially during times of unrest.
However, from experience, this kind of stuff is usually all bark and no bite. But at least educate people about actual events rather than fictitious made up stories.
Please read this****
If a thief forces you to take money from an ATM, do not argue or resist. What you should do is punch your pin in reverse. EX: if your pin is 1234 you punch 4321. The moment you punch in the reverse, the money will come out but will be stuck in the machine and the machine will immediately alert the police without the theif’s knowledge. Every ATM has this feature.
Reblog this so everyone knows, this happens all the time especially in the city
tumblr teaches me so much more than anyone else does about life situations
but what if your pin backwards is someone elses pin? ex: 1234 is my pin, but backwards 4321 is someone elses pin..
The machine will only accept your pin since you have to swipe your card beforehand.
What if my pin is 1331?
i hope you’re being smart ass
ATM’S DO NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE. I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY PUT IN A PIN NUMBER BACKWARDS AT AN ATM FOR WHATEVER REASON, AND IT JUST GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING INCORRECT PIN.
I ALSO CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HAD TO EXPLAIN TO CUSTOMERS OF THE BANK I USED TO WORK CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THAT NO, AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINES DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE GRABS YOU AT AN ATM AND THREATENS YOU FOR ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS MONEY? YOU GIVE THEM YOUR GODDAMN MONEY, CALL THE POLICE, AND THEN CALL THE BANK. THE CAMERA ON THE FUCKING ATM SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THEIR FACE, AND THERES USUALLY ANOTHER CAMERA NEARBY JUST IN CASE THEY SHIELD THEMSELVES FROM THE ATM CAMERA. CALL THE POLICE FIRST, AND THEN CALL YOUR FUCKING BANK. TELL THE PERSON WHO WORKS FOR THE BANK WHAT HAPPENED, AND THEY WILL TAKE THE POLICE REPORT NUMBER, AND RETURN THE MONEY TO YOUR GODDAMN ACCOUNT.
THAT IS THE FUCKING POLICY IN THE EVENT OF THIS KIND OF CRIME BEING COMMITTED AGAINST ANY BANKING CUSTOMER.
ATM MACHINES DO NOT HAVE THIS FUCKING FEATURE, STOP SPREADING GODDAMN LIES THAT CAN GET PEOPLE FUCKING HURT SHOULD THEY BE IN THAT PREDICAMENT.
RANT TIME MOTHERFUCKERS
Okay, this is making me fucking sick. You may have seen a “life hack” post going around telling you that this fruit called the Garcinia Cambogia has some “magic” ability to boost your metabolism by 300%. THIS IS FALSE AND THIS FRUIT CAN ACTUALLY DAMAGE YOUR LIVER. The post states that the fruit cannot be bought in stores because it’s “too effective,” but it provides a link to a website where you can apparently order them. I’m not sure it’s even legal to sell them online, so I’d strongly suggest not buying them.
Garcinia Cambogia (or Garcinia Gummi-Gutta) can NOT be used as a way to lose weight, and does NOT BOOST YOUR METABOLISM BY 300%; in fact, it could even give you Hepatotoxicity, WHICH IS THE REASON IT WAS DRAWN OFF THE MARKET - NOT BECAUSE IT WAS “TOO EFFECTIVE.”
I don’t know where this rumour started, and I don’t know why Lifehackable is trying to make everyone believe it. I believe they were paid, or maybe they’re just too stupid to make a simple Google search.
In 2012, some dude (apparently a television personality) by the alias of Dr. Oz started promoting Garcinia Cambogia extract, claiming it was some some fucking magic weight-loss aid - BUT CLINICAL TRIALS DO NOT SUPPORT THESE CLAIMS! A meta-analysis found a possible small, but short-term weight-loss effect - but it was under 1 kilogram (which is about 2 pounds).
Basically: Don’t buy this fruit. Don’t eat this fruit and don’t tell your friends about this fruit. This fruit doesn’t boost your metabolism, it fucking damages your liver. THERE IS A REASON THESE THINGS CANNOT BE BOUGHT IN STORES.
And it doesn’t even taste good. Rant over.
For those of you asking for my sources:
Here is a WebMD article stating that Garcinia Cambogia can cause nausea, digestive tract discomfort, and headaches.
Here is a Wikipedia article stating that the fruit does not help you lose any significant amount of weight, and that it can give you Hepatotoxicity.
Here is a Slate article stating that Garcinia Cambogia works no better than Placebo.
Here is a WJGNet article about patients contracting Hepatotoxicity after eating the fruit.
And here’s an NCBI article stating the same thing as above.
Truth.
Wow.. I didn’t know that
File under : things I wasn’t taught in school
welp shit
this post isnt even true the statue in the first picture was sculpted in 2007 to commemorate the 159th anniversary of the emancipation proclamation what a stupid and irritating post this is
Also the Statue of Liberty was given to America in the late 1800s, ie LONG before color photography, so I’m not sure how you would have gotten that color photo of the “original.” Additionally, the statue is supposed to represent Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, and the face was modeled after the sculptors mother.
BOOM BITCH
And that is why you pay attention in school, not tumblr.
whelp, I can now turn off the internet, I have seen everything
He also wore sweaters because of tattoos I believe he got in the Navy.
All this time i thought he was the image of suburbia. Turns out he’s more street than i am
oh my god.
Mister Rogers never had any tattoos nor was he ever in military service. The Navy Seals website even states the reasons as for why Mister Rogers was never in the military, including his age and his busy life.
The reason why Mister Rogers wore sweaters and long sleeves shirts was a style choice. Kids would remember Mister Rogers due to his choice of clothing, not to hide any tattoos.
The gif of Mister Roger's flipping the bird was from an episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood in 1967 when he was leading the kids through the children's song "Where Is Thumbkin?", a song designed to help kids recognize each finger with a certain name (In this case, the middle finger is "tallman")
The video of the exact segment of the episode showing this can be found here
There’s an official Guinness World Record for “World’s Most Dangerous Tree,” and it’s held by the manchineel tree from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The manchineel’s bark is covered in sap that causes skin to blister and can blind a person if it gets in their eyes. Even standing under the tree in the rain can cause blisters because the sap will drip onto skin.The tree’s fruit, known as the “beach apple” or “death apple,” is slightly sweet but very painful to eat. Ulceration of the mouth and esophagus will occur from just a small bite and consumption can be lethal. Smoke from burning manchineel wood can cause blindness, and the sap has historically been used to coat arrows for hunting. Today it’s an endangered species in Florida. (via Listverse)
WHAT the HELL!
What we see through social media is a generation of ignorant social activists. Young men and women all too willing to care about and defend something they don’t truly understand and refuse to educate themselves further on because they assume the limited information they receive has been vetted by someone more knowledgeable than themselves. This happens on both sides of the fence, with both conservatives and liberals. I’ve seen arguably intelligent young men and women stand up at banquets and rallies, demanding answers about things like healthcare, DOMA, federal military actions. Asking questions about things they’ve seen on Facebook, on twitter, things that they’ve taken little to no time to research for themselves, and they look like fools. No matter their age, they paint themselves with a red mark that announces ‘I’m not mature enough to be here, to discuss these issues’. But even so, it isn’t truly about age. It’s about social awareness. You are not discounted until you make a mistake. Say the wrong thing or quote the wrong statistic. Until then, your legitimacy remains intact. Tumblr is like this. I’ve seen people furious over gay rights legislation that doesn’t actually exist. Wars that haven’t happened. Most recently text posts with tens of thousands of notes alleging that China and Russia are going to go to war with the US over Syria. Blogs relaying damaging misinformation written by individuals who can’t seem to be bothered to read a newspaper or use google properly. This is a crippling trend, and no one sees it. These people get untold attention and affirmation until one person with a large enough follower count points out the flaw in their argument. Corrects the mistake, and shifts the tide. But this doesn’t fix the thousands of people who liked and reblogged the original post. The damage is done. If there is one thing I’ve learned from working on political campaigns, very little is more damaging than an activist who argues only one side of the story without recognizing the existence of the other; because your opinion, no matter how solid and seemingly factually based, is invalid the second your audience realizes they know more than you. And the result of all of this is a generation of young activists who don’t understand why they aren’t being taken seriously.
a recent conversation with a colleague regarding social media (via onawingandaswear)
the double sided mirror post is fake
the hole under your car handle post is fake
the pushing your atm pin backwards post is fake
basically if a post claims to teach you something or make you safer but has zero sources it’s probably ripped from a decade old chain e-mail and spreading false info is dangerous and begets unecessary fear and anxiety
snopes is your friends
thissssssssssssssssss
angerr:
And people still continue to worship USA.
its because they’re all fed with lies
Look at her expression. She has no fear.
Probably because that’s Li Thi Van playing the role of “Village Chief’s Daughter” in the feature film Platoon and the man holding a gun to her head would be William Dafoe, AKA the Green Goblin in Spider-Man
I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD THIS WEBSITE
ALERT! ALERT! Everyone! If you would just spare a moment to hear me out, that’d be super! Okay! Please! Stop reblogging this post! Why? I shall tell you why! This is a whole deal of misinformation! I cannot stand it any longer! Now, please sit back and read over why there are so many things wrong with this post!
________________________________________________________
Alright. Now that I got your attention, let me elaborate on the matter. This post. It’s very incorrect. Here’s why. You see that music sheet? Yes? Good. Do you see the name? Yes, the name. Ah, “Faerie’s Aire and Death Waltz”? Yes, that is the name! Okay. Step one completed. Now, Do you see that link to YouTube? Yes, that one. Okay, good. So, you may assume that that link leads to a video of what “Death Waltz” sounds like, yes? WRONG. That video is not what Death Waltz sounds like. Not at all. Nope. Let me explain:
Okay. That link is actually a remix of a remix. Here’s the story:
In 2002, the sixth installment a Japanese game apart of the Touhou Project series created by its sole founder, ZUN (Team Shanghai Alice) by the name of 東方紅魔郷(Touhou Koumakyou) ~ The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was released. In this game, there is a track that I’m pretty sure several of you are familiar with, seeing how it’s quite popular. It is the theme of the Extra stage boss, Flandre Scarlet, or this little cutie right here:
The theme is called “U.N. Owen was her?” and it sounds like this.
Now the Touhou Project series is actually a pretty big thing in Japan. So much that fan groups, or Doujin Circles, make their own remixes of the music presented in these games. U.N. Owen Was Her? Happens to be one of the most popular track to be remixed; honestly there are so many remixes of this song it’d probably be impossible to listen to them all.
However, one particular remix is very relevant to this situation. One of the members, BeatMARIO, in a doujin group by the name of COOL&CREATE created a certain remix. The remix sounds like this.
Gee wiz, doesn’t THAT sound familiar? Why, indeed it does! Well then, what does that make the piano remix from that incorrect link? Just a piano remix. A piano remix of this song.
"But Blue, What does this have to do with Death Waltz?"
Well I’m glad you asked!
You see, that video on YouTube is a lie. It’s not the Death Waltz. It’s not Death Waltz: U.N. Owen Was Her? It’s just U.N. Owen Was Her?; a remix, that is.
This is what Death Waltz really sounds like. I know that that’s not the best link, but it was as accurate as I could find because apparently another video labeled as Death Waltz was a different piece.
This is a link leading to a little bit more about the composer at least as best as I could find (poor guy doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page, as far as I’ve searched).
A little bit more about Death Waltz: This music sheet is a form of art. Not a literal music piece that you play, but the kind you hang on your wall. It’s a joke piece. It was never meant to be played. Not because it’s impossible, but because it’s ridiculously satirical. Honestly, do you think that a piece with “insert peanuts” literally imprinted on the sheet would be an actual serious thing? Forget about it!!
So…What does this all mean?
It means that the YouTube link in that post has an incorrect title. It should just say something like “U.N. Owen Was Her? Synthesia/piano remix”, but it doesn’t. The uploader of the video won’t change it, and I’m more than certain that the video was take from Nico Nico Douga or something.
"But Blue, why does this bother you so much? It’s just a song!"
Well, here’s why. Touhou Project is honestly one of my most favorite things. I love it so much and have been involved with this series for about 3 years. It get’s me rather upset that so many people are misinformed on this thing, and it causes a whole deal of trouble.
In short,
This is the original.
This is a remix by a fan-group.
This is a piano/Synthesia remix/arrange of the remix.
Faerie’s Aire and Death Waltz by John Stump has nothing to do with this. Only the fact that it was the title of something that wasn’t even correct.
This is what Death Waltz actually sounds like.
Also, this fine young gentleman addresses the matter as well. You should definitely give this video a watch.
Okay. I think I’m done. I am so sorry that this was a long post, and I feel terrible for clogging up your dash, but please signal boost this or something! Get the word out that what people think is the Death Waltz is a lie! Okay! Thank you so much for your time!!
A massive conspiracy involving multiple tumblr users lying for notes and to sound interesting has been exposed.
BREAKING NEWS: President Obama announces: ‘I have decided that the United States should take action against Syrian military targets’ and he will ‘seek authorization for the use of force’ from Congress
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to world war III. Russia and china have both promised to retaliate with force upon any U.S. intervention in syria. He’s walking the world into a massacre.
inb4shitstorm:
I couldn’t believe it when I saw this headline. Not only Russia and China will retaliate but I would put money on Iran and basically every other country the US has managed to piss off in the last 50 years will probably step up to the plate. We have our new Danzig.
[cut for “we are fucked” yada yada]
Russia have not said they will fucking retaliate.
They have said that they are seriously opposed to it and that shit will go down if anything happens
they have not made a threat.
Bolded for emphasis. We are not, I repeat: not on the verge if a new World War.
China has no interest in foreign politics. They have never intervened before. The chance they would do this now, and thus threaten their own economic power is extremely low.
Russia is not as strong as it used to be, and even during the times of the Soviet Union they didn’t dare to provoke an actual war against the US. Additionally, they are facing enough internal problems and I’m pretty sure they remember how it played out the last time they went to war un-united.
Iran does not have the military power to even threaten the US. Neither do any of “the other countries whom the USA have pissed off”, i.e. Iraq or Afghanistan. All of them are faced with political problems they need to sort out before they can even try to care about warfare.
Syria does still not have atomic weapons. Neither do they have long-range missiles. While the US is a threat to Syria, it does not work the other way around.
The current political and, more importantly, economic situation is not even comparable to that of 1914 or 1933. We live in a globalised society, which means that all countries are economically dependent on each other. The main reason why the EU or the UN haven’t intervened in human rights violations in China or Russia etc. is because they cannot dare to break off economic relations. As much as that sucks, it also means that an actual war between the superpowers is close to impossible. All of them are aware of the risks involved and all of them are interested in not taking them, as it would most possibly mean their financial ruin.
The only realistic threat to the US at this point is that some fundamentalists groups take their actions in Syria as an offence and go for another spree of terrorist attacks. I’m not saying that’s a great alternative, but you have to see this is how world politics work these days — rather by anarchic outrages than actual warfare.
Think before you talk.
This is the only fucking time I’m gonna reblog anything about this, because it finally comes around with actual FACTS.
Calm the fuck down (about the “World War” thing at least). This situation sucks ass as is, we don’t need more misinformation.
So, real talk for a second guys
If you ever accidentally call 911, DON’T HANG UP. Stay on the line and tell the calltaker that you accidentally dialed. When you hang up, we either have to call you back or send out police which takes up valuable resources and wastes money. A simple “It was an accident” is all we need and everyone goes about their life much better

Strange Creature Found in the Persian Gulf
I killed this beast in Resident Evil 4
I swear I fought this thing in Devil May Cry 4
is that trash on it or ???
whaaat the fuck is that?!!
Pretty sure this is what was left over after i kicked Emerald Weapon’s ass in Final Fantasy 7
yo, this is scary as fuck nope. nope. NOPE.
it’s not a strange creature, it’s a goddamn horseshoe crab. humans really need to start realizing that even though we (may) be the most intelligent being on this planet, we’re really NOT at the top of the food chain. we just kill everything else before it can get us. usually.
What kind of horse-shoe crab is that? It looks nothing like the ones I just googled.
Monstrous Eatemuptimus
it’s a deep sea version that must have got lost. some dude from the UAE will have one as a pet in 2014.
I'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble but it looks very much like a decomposing whale carcass.
For a second it confused me since along what looks like a tail it had what I believed to be were scutes, such as those found in crocodilians, but once you really examine it, it's pretty obvious it's a whale. Compare the last photo on this post to that of vertebrae of a whale.
This is isn't the first time a decomposing body of a sea creature confused people. Almost everything single sea monster reporting from like century or so are from decomposing bodies found on the worlds beaches. This post especially is very similar to the Zuiyo-maru carcass incident from 1977, where a strange creature was snagged by a ship off the coast of New Zealand.
After it's discovery (and shortly there after, disposal of the body back into the sea) scientists all insisted that it was "not a fish, whale, or any other mammal". However, analysis of the muscle tissue collected by the fisherman found that it was in fact a decomposing basking shark carcass.
After watching Pacific Rim a few times, I really had to stop myself from thinking is was a body of a kaiju.

Disgusting, shocking expose by Agence France-Presse. Hong-Kong. After people complained, tens of thousands of shark fins were brought to the roof tops to dry. The article says they did this to hide the fins from the public because of increased awareness of animal cruelty.
Shark fin traders in Hong Kong have taken to drying freshly sliced fins on rooftops since a public outcry over them drying the fins on public sidewalks forced them to move the trade out of sight.
Activists have raised concerns that the over-harvesting of fins is causing an environmental calamity. Although sales have fallen in recent years Hong Kong remains one of the world’s biggest markets for shark fins, which are used to make soup that is an expensive staple at Chinese banquets. NBC
I can’t stomach watching the process of shark finning (more videos here). Basically, they catch the shark, cut off its fins, and throw the shark back into the ocean - alive and awake. The sharks bleed to death and/or suffocate since they can’t swim.
Absolutely repulsive.
But saying “gross” or “I’m sad” is not enough. There are a variety of ways you can help stop finning.
Sharks are threatened by climate change. Increased temperatures are affecting their habitat and food supplies around the globe. Changes to their habitat threaten their survival.
Last year, Discovery reported the world’s first hybrid shark and speculated it had adapted to climate change. They speculated that two separate shark species paired as a result of climate change. It was the first time a shark hybrid has been found and scientists speculated they were evolving, e.g., they adapted to increased temperatures.
The Australian black-tip is slightly smaller than its common cousin and can only live in tropical waters, but its hybrid offspring have been found 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) down the coast, in cooler seas.
It means the Australian black-tip could be adapting to ensure its survival as sea temperatures change because of global warming.
"If it hybridizes with the common species it can effectively shift its range further south into cooler waters, so the effect of this hybridizing is a range expansion," Morgan said.
"It’s enabled a species restricted to the tropics to move into temperate waters." Via Discovery
Adaptation is not fast enough. Habitat and food supplies are quickly being destroyed, not to mention ocean currents are shifting, adding additional pressure on marine life. Most importantly, the incredible increases wealth in China and Asia generally has increased demand for shark fin soup, which is considered a delicacy.
Gordan Ramsay, an A-list celebrity chef, was doused with gasoline and held at gun-point while exposing shark finning on his TV show last year. He tried the soup and deemed it unremarkable and bland, comparing the soup to eating salted potatoes.
He was horrified and sickened at the process (warning: very tough to watch. Several sharks are hacked live). Chef Ramsay subsequently advocated for the finning of these amazing animals to stop. He helped contribute to the passage of a bill banning shark fin soup in the U.S.
There are several ways to stop finning: Pressuring grocery stores and Asian markets, writing congress (it works, I swear), contributing cash and volunteer time to anti-finning campaigns, passing the word around to educate others, and signing petitions.

I’ve reblogged this before but hey it’s shark week so here it is again
In honor of Shark Week!
I had no idea that they hacked the fins off the poor sharks alive. THIS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.
This is an important issue that needs to be addressed. :(
Seriously, everyone needs to see this. Yeah Shark Week is great and all, but the sad reality of sharks and the plight they’re going through rarely ever gets heard.
All we ever hear about sharks make them out to be man eaters who only attack people, but this is simply not true. On average, they’re are only 50-70 attacks, most of which are minor bites, and for every 5-10 people who are fatally attacked by sharks, 20 to 100 million sharks are killed by fishing activity alone.
Sharks play an amazing and important role in our planets ecosystem and after being on this planet for more than 400 million years now, I think its time they deserve our respect and protection.
I feel like this is important for everyone to see. We see posts that are completely false yet have more than 10 times the notes that this has, and in celebration of Shark Week (and Mod B's love of sharks) we want people to be aware of shark finning and what they can do to get educated and help.
