you ever listen to a song 47 times in a row and every time you’re like wow what a good song. I’m gonna play it again.

If you're in Australia you'll already know this, but for our international readers, basically the whole of Australia ground to a halt today because one of our two mobile/internet networks - Optus - just completely shat its dacks for about 9 hours, taking out the country's phones, internet and banking.

The funniest part though, is that apparently when the national broadcaster tried to reach out to find out what was going on - they discovered the quite forseeable problem that everyone at Optus used Optus for their phone and internet, so there was basically no way for their company to contact anyone inside or outside the company to work out what was going on or to try and fix it.

What a country.

Brought to you by the country that couldn't do the 2016 census because the website crashed on census night after they received an "unexpected DDoS attack" that turned out to be the population of Australia trying to fill out the census.

The Optus CEO having to WhatsApp call into the ABC from a local Maccas wifi rather than resorting to using Telstra, the only working mobile network, will never not be funny

A decade later and this is still one of the funniest things ever

For anyone who doesn't know, John Cage's 4'33 is 4 minutes and 33 seconds of complete silence...

[cryptotheism]

A lot of people in the comments are being pedantic about how 4'33'' is not actually complete silence, it is 4'33'' of ambient noise as performance.

So in the spirit of being a one-upping internet pseudointellectual; I will share an additional fact about this piece. You will notice that the video is actually slightly longer than 4 minutes and 33 seconds. The piece actually takes slightly longer than that to perform, as the orchestra must leave space in between each of the three movements.

‘Sea Life’ Chess Set. Designed in 1923 by Max Esser and manufactured by the Meissen Porcelain Factory in Germany.

“In the mid-eighteenth century the Meissen porcelain factory produced several chess sets by sculptor and chief modeler Johann Joachim Kändler (German, 1706–1775). In the 1920s Meissen again began to produce chess sets, among them three designed by Max Esser, known largely at the factory as a modeler of animal figures.”

this is probably the only sex gif i will every reblog, because for some reason i feel like it’s more than just sex. i don’t know if it’s how they’re actually looking at one another or the way they can’t get close enough. he’s actually looking at her like a person and not just a sex object. 

but then again, it could be all in my head. i mean, this is how i would want it to be. but that’s just me.

Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things

[reputayswift]

Thanks to @raindropwindow and a handful of articles, it’s called snow albedo, skyglow, snowglow, or just light scattering! It’s the result of moon- or artificial light reflecting off ground snow, low clouds, or ice crystals.

that nsfw snow…
