so interesting when a medieval fantasy world shows signs of a partial columbian exchange. dirt-caked churls may grow pumpkins and eat potato stew yet no chocolate or hot peppers to be seen

Captain Moody on QI:

[charity-angel]

There's a few bits that need adding to the awesomeness of this story:

1. There exists a club, started by Captain Moody, called the Gallunggung Gliders Club.

Everyone on the plane is a member. They are still in contact.

2. This flight held the record for the longest ever unpowered glide in a commercial air liner for just short of 13 months. The Gimli Glider beat it on 23 July 1983 (Air Canada flight 143, which famously ran out of fuel due to a metric/imperial conversation error).

3. A lot of the height lost in the glide was actually done on purpose. The first officer's oxygen mask wasn't functional, and Captain Moody decided he would rather have his entire flight crew available to problem solve, so they did an emergency descent to breathable air rather than sacrifice the FO to hypoxia and retain height.

They knew this was problematic, because of the mountains - if they couldn't get at least 2 engines lit, they had no chance of making a landing (hence the preparation for ditching). But it was very likely the right call as the FO worked diligently with the flight engineer to get the engines running.

4. The electro-magnetic interference caused by the volcanic dust messed with their radios, and it took them a long time, and help from another plane, to get Air Traffic Control to understand what was happening. ATC thought it was just a single engine failure for a long time, and wondered what all the fuss was about.

5. When they managed to get power back, and turned around, they flew back into the dust cloud. They had engine failures again, radio issues, static effects on the windshield... They quickly decided "fuck that" and descended to clear air. They had to fly almost dangerously low the whole way back to Jakarta. And then put the thing down while blind.

6. Even though it was the first time the dangers of volcanic ash clouds came into the awareness of the international flying community, LOADS of pilots and engineers in Jakarta took one look at the sandblasted plane and correctly identified what had happened.

(sadly not the last time teachable incidents that didn't occur in Europe or North America were ignored by Europe and North America and it bit people in the ass...)

one of these big new indie cartoons should release with an exclusive adopt of like the main character. pay up 10000 dollars to be the only one whos legally allowed to draw pomni. i feel like the resulting fandom drama would change the face of the internet it would be so cool

[helendamnationx]

Just want to make sure people are aware that the artist is on ArtStation and many of these, including the longing stare at witch one, are in fact for sale as prints for highly reasonable prices - the cheapest option being an 8 by 12 art poster for 18 US dollars (plus shipping).

Not only will you get to see the hilarious names of these works but usually a short story and a detailed look at his work progress!

He also does a lot of werewolf art which I adore!

i dont know who needs to hear this but as a general PSA for those who pay people online for goods and services: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE BUYING. While it might seem funny to write a clever note along with your transaction, any sort of hint that you're buying something nsfw or even mildly suggestive poses a huge risk that the person you're paying is getting their method of payment shut down permanently. transaction services are stricter than ever. "thanks for the boobs" is a pipe bomb that only needs one pair of eyes to be noticed. loose lips sink ships

[ysolt]

hey i know you guys are all the funniest and smartest people in the world but you arent actually required to give any reasons for payment right. you can just say nothing. you know that right

#fucking adorable#but like legit you do actually have to harmlessly annoy them sometimes#because sometimes you will need to do HIGH STAKES ANNOYANCE#like giving them a pill or taking them to the vet#and it's important for them to know that annoying weird things happen sometimes but they will be fine#which is why we have an assortment of adorable kitty costumes#(because getting them used to occasionally wearing things and being handled around the neck and belly is actually useful)#(like imagine if we ever had to have a surgical collar on them)#it sounds selfish and it is HILARIOUS but it is actually useful

it is always morally sound to annoy the cat

[eradoodlermigration]

I've heard of people doing this with horses, too. Desensitizing them to handling in order to help them cope with more difficult situations. I think part of that is socialization, so pets get used to different people and other animals and do better in veterinary and other unfamiliar situations.

the problem millennials + older have with trying to understand the 67 meme is that they keep trying to compare it to past funny numbers.

listen. 67 is not 69. it's not 420, or 21, or 42.

it's E.

you remember this shit?

it's this. 67 is E.

one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.
