Rabbit holes I tripped on

I share info on neat rabbit holes I've fallen into.

I particularly like how he’s had the AI portray Canada as pristine wilderness and his country as a denuded wasteland of terrible urbanism, crowded sprawl, deprived housing, absent privacy and roads that literally go nowhere

thank you AI for your words of wisdom

I feel like someone is standing next to me talking about how I'm dead

[rudolphsboyfriend]

The chemical they put on ants and all the other ants think they're dead that's what happened to tumblr except the chemical is unmarketability

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

[rabbitholesitrippedon]

okay so, i'd never seen this movie before when i was younger, but i enjoyed music from a music creator known as POGO and he produced a song called Davyd, a truly haunting song that makes me think about innocence in a messy world, and unexplainable loss.

imagine my surprised when i finally find, and watch the movie, only for it to have those exact themes, and the exact feeling of the song. this movie is fantastic, and POGO deserves some kind of award for capturing the tone and feeling of the movie so perfectly.

been reading a lot of those "humans are from a death planet" alien stories and I had the funniest thought.

Imagine an alien crew watching the human who just singlehandedly saved their entire ship or overpowered a bully or something like that, endurance this and persistence hunters that, got a broken arm and was like "ow" and then continued functioning while offhandedly mentioning something about adrenaline, and then--

the human accidentally hits their shin on something and collapses like a wet paper towel

[rabbitholesitrippedon]

May i suggest a cis male human getting hit in the private parts and being completely out of comission for half an hour? the hilarious disparity between the "humans are space orcs" and "curled up on the floor for an extended period of time" is quite funny to me.

oh thank goodness

Thinking about people who smile when they're angry and how aliens would react to that. See, most humans will say smile = happiness, but then sometimes smiles mean "I'm about to punch you". So imagine an alien is having an argument with a human and the human just. Smiles. And it's so weird because Why is this human happy right now? And then said alien is reminded that humans are, indeed, predators and guess what predators do before they're about to kill you? They bare their teeth.

transcript of audio message left on receiver:

Zinne, i must inform you of the events that have transpired today. our crew was on shore leave and the ships engineer, Will, got into an altercation with a draxxan, A DRAXXAN! The draxxan came up to Will and made some disparaging remarks about how small and feeble humans were, i sincerely do not remember the remarks word for word because i was so shocked at what happened next. Will smiled at him, i figured the human had some witty remark, or he and the draxxan were old friends, but the human moved faster than i'd seen anything move before. It took 4 of us the pry the writhing human off of the draxxan. Zinne, please, i beg you, if you see your human friend smile, run as fast as you can, your safety should be your top priority.

⚠️small safety PSA⚠️:

lately, there's been a huge influx of blogs with urls like "staff28572" tagging people in posts, and telling them things like "security notice / need to verify your blog ", etc. And they'll direct you to click on a link.

Don't click it. It's a phishing scam. Block and report the blog if you get tagged by them. Tumblr staff will never tag you in a post like that... and they don't have a million side staff blogs. The only real tumblr staff blogs are @staff and @support.

Stay safe out there, y'all

@mariposa26879 beware so you don’t get scammed

Q: How often is too often to re-customize your blog?

[kakyoinryoko]

i think if you showed minecraft or fortnite to a little medieval peasant boy he would probably start writing parodies of church hymns. it’s human nature

[kakyoinryoko]

this has rendered me speechless

[rabbitholesitrippedon]

all of those "showing a medieval peasant X" jokes get real dark when you consider that there's people in the world who still live like that (maybe not in the US, but rural parts of other countries)

hi yeah so WERE ANY OF YOU PLANNING TO TELL ME THAT I'VE BEEN SPELLING THE WORD "ORCS" WRONG IN MY TITLE. I'VE BEEN SPELLING IT "ORKS".

YES I KNOW THEY'RE BOTH TECHNICALLY CORRECT BUT ORKS IS FOR WARHAMMER 40K AND I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS DO I????

HOW HAVE I MISSED THIS FOR LIKE FIVE MONTHS???

[rabbitholesitrippedon]

after some googling, it seems like the root word "orcus" split off into a handful of languages, some spelling it orc, some spelling it ork, and some even changing it to ogre. it seems that spelling is determined by preference since it's a fictional word.

for instance the warhammer lore refers to them as orks.

I love the “humans are space orcs” trope, but I’d also like to propose “humans are space platypuses.” They defy every attempt at classification.

Some species are aggressive and individualistic—they evolved from solitary predators. Some are social and diplomatic—they evolved from prey that banded together in herds. And there are hive mind species that colonize new territory under a monarch’s direction. But humans are social predators with a colonizing past (hopefully), both diplomatic and aggressive, ambitious yet ready to work with other species.

For reproduction, some species have a designated brood mother, while the majority cannot reproduce. Other species reproduce asexually after reaching maturity. Others are compelled to reproduce by heat cycles. But while almost all humans are capable of reproduction, many just… choose not to? They even invented something called “birth control” so they can participate in sex and prevent reproduction, as if the evolutionary drive to reproduce can just be switched off despite their capability.

I’d love to know if anyone else has thoughts on this!
