This is amazing, and I'm embarrassed to admit something I never considered.

The public restroom is almost inarguably THE WORST possible place to ever have to 'feel your way'!

Listen if the study of ancient humans doesn’t make you at least a little bit emotional idk what to say.

I started crying today at the museum because they had reconstructed the shoes of Otzi the iceman.

Either he or someone he knew who cared about him made these shoes out of grass and bear skin and twine and he was wearing them when he died over five thousand years ago.

And a Czech researcher and his students did reconstructions of these shoes and wore them to the same place where he died to test them out and they were like yep! These shoes are really cozy and comfy and didn’t give us blisters while hiking!

Is that not just the coolest shit ever????

This post goes around Tumblr every year, and it’s always true. There’s never been an uneventful or boring January.

I believe this is Hvaldimir, who, get this, is believed to be a defected Russian spy. Literally.

He showed up in Norway in April 2019 wearing a camera harness labeled “equipment of St. Petersburg”, has tried pulling ropes on boats, is obviously very familiar with people and prefers to hang with people. While we know Russia has marine mammal government programs (the US does too, but it’s bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions), the extent of their programs is not declassified like the US Navy’s are.

He likes to play fetch and be scratched around the blowhole.

He has taken a diver’s knife out of the scabbard, played with underwater drones, stolen a go pro from a kayaker, and other mischief. Notably, it has been said by the Murmansk Marine Biology Institute, who may have been who trained Hvaldimir, that seals are better equipped to be polar military animals, as they have high professionalism that belugas lack.

Anyhow, enjoy Hvaldimir (the name combines the Norwegian word for whale, Hval, with Vladimir, as in Putin), the defected Russian spy whale.

I know this happens and it looks suspicious but

this image? we have every reason to think it is a cucumber, like it was made in clay models in burials period, it's painted green, it's on the small side of things (9.6 cm or 3 3/4 inch)

oh right and it was placed on a model offering table with small model bread and drinking cup

sometimes a cucumber really is a cucumber.

Not to be autistic about old Australian television but this might well be one of the best gags they ever did on IMT
