Cab Calloway rotascoped!
the scariest thing iâve ever seen. it was a music box sort of thing - you turned the key on the back and it played this weird chromatic classical piece and gave me nightmares
Please reblog this as fast as you can
âAnd lo, I saw a rider on a pale horse, and the rider was death.â
Needless to say, I am HORRIFIED.
âAll that you need to know about boars can be summed up in the fact that if you wish to hunt them, you must have a specially made boar spear. This spear has a crosspiece on it to prevent the boar from charging the length of the spear, driving it all the way through his own body, to savage the human holding the other end.â
-Boar and Apples, T. Kingfisher
fuck OFF
Note that pigs are also HUGE. So, yes, they ARE slightly larger pigs.
So I grew up in the city and have never seen a pig in real life and I just googled it and WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
I thought they were like labrador sized, like, fat labradors, not mini-cows.
every time I see this post there are more people discovering how fuck off huge pigs actually are and I love it I thought this was a thing everyone knew but clearly not and Iâm laughingÂ
This is me with our Tamworth boar, a heritage breed closer to their wild cousins than the Yorkshire above. I am a fully grown, average sized human. He was a gentle sweetie who, sadly, is no longer with us. His name was Mr. Big.Â
FUCK OFF
Forever laffinâ at people who donât understand how enormous, terrifying, and tenacious wild boar are.Â
Theyâre like if bears had knives protruding from their closed mouths and Didnât Know When To Quit. Their survival instincts when theyâre wounded arenât ârun away and minimize injuryâ itâs âtake the thing that hurt you down with youâ They also make sounds like someone crossed a pig with an alligator.
Their head and neck alone can be like the size of an entire human torso.
Also forever laffinâ at people who think pigs are tiny, âcause we designed those things can get in the neighbourhood of a thousand pounds in ideal circumstances.Â
Itâs like when people assume Tuna must be small because theyâve only ever experienced them in hockey puck form.
Like seriously why the fuck y'all think everyone FREAKED THE HELL OUT when Dorothy fell into the pig pen in Wizard of Oz? Itâs because pigs are HUGE and weigh a shitton and would crush her in an instant.
also dont they eat like, basically anything?
YUP. Pigs will eat people, if given the chance. They dgaf.
Thatâs why boar hunters use a team of very tenacious dogs to hold the boar so they can be speared without fucking you up. The dogs wear body armour.Â
Iâve heard stories of people shooting boars, and if it didnât kill them, it just pissed them off.Â
how the hell did we ever domesticate these things?
âŚâhow the hell did we ever domesticate these things?â
Very carefully, I would imagine.
WIld boar babies are rather cute, like living humbugsâŚ
âŚbut the adults and their ferocity have been associated with warriors for thousands of years, from Mycenaean Greece (a helmet made from sections of boar tusk)âŚ
âŚthrough Celtic Europe (reconstructed carnyx war-horns and standards)âŚ
âŚAncient Rome (the crest of Legion 20 âValeria Victrixâ). A couple more legions also used a boar as their crest - I wonder did they squabble over which was the ârightâ one the way a couple of Swiss cantons had a little war over whose bear was bestâŚ?
âŚthen Anglo-Saxon and pre-Viking helmet crestsâŚ
âŚright up to the late Middle Ages (here the white boar badge of Richard Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III of England)âŚ
âŚand the blue boar badge of the Earl of Oxford, more usually represented by the De Vere arms, quarterly gules and or, in the first a molet argent.
After Richard was defeated at Bosworth in 1485, there was a run on blue paint as inn-signs were changed to reflect new loyalties since Oxford was on the winning sideâŚ
And pigs will definitely eat people.
It gets mentioned in the movie âSnatchâ, the book/movie âHannibalâ and the webcomic âLackadaisy Catsâ, among numerous other fictional sources, and IRL itâs suspected to be the reason why numerous missing persons have stayed missing.
More here (another comment to this same OP) and here (slightly different).
Hereâs some boar-hunting armour for dogs, ancientâŚ
âŚand modernâŚ
âŚand the modern one looks very like a simple style of ancientâŚ
So when Odysseusâs old nurse recognizes him by the scar he got from the boar-tusk slash that almost killed him⌠now you get the resonance.
This postâŚit just really went places on me.
I hope you read this entire post, and that it made your entire day so much better, even if just for a few moments, like it did mine.

today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it wonât just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.
this is what buying a plan without net neutrality looks like there:
you have to pay MORE for features youâre already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.
democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Paiâs plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.
please, call them. call them daily.

hey guys, please reblog this version and donât forget to call!!! if you are nervous about calling, you can use resistbot to send faxes to your reps and the stance app to pre-record your message so you wonât have to speak to anyone. (available in both google play and app store)
Okay what the heck is this shite. This is like going to a grocery store and having to pay $5 to access the vegetable isle, then $10 for access to cereals, $5 just to access the checkout counter, and the checkout counterâs racks of gum and periodicals are free for the first three months but then $5 per month after that (read the fine print on the âsocialâ tab). Like⌠WHAT AND HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
The moron in charge wants to be a billionaire. And he wants total control of what everybody can see, or talk about, or buy, or learn. And it will affect everyone on the planet who now enjoys the internet, not just Americans.

You may want to blur out the titties but good god what is going on in this picture, one of the weirder ones iv seen Oddities Note: Nah, art shouldnât be censored. This is a beautiful piece of art. I love Dali. If you donât know who he is please check him out. He is a surrealist painter and all his art is like this.
A re-analysis of a 50,000 year old Neanderthal skull shows that, in addition to enduring multiple injuries and debilitations, this male individual was also profoundly deaf. Yet he lived well into his 40s, which is quite old by Paleolithic standards. Itâs an achievement that could have only been possible with the help of others, according to new research.
When the remains of this older Neanderthal were discovered at Shanidar Cave in Iraqi Kurdistan in 1957, his many physical injuries and disabilities were immediately apparent. Analysis of his skull showed that he suffered a crushing blow to the head near his eye socket when he was young, likely causing some visual impairment. His right hand and forearm were missing, the result of an amputation. He likely walked with a serious gait, and he suffered from hyperostotic disease (DISH), which is associated with muscular pain and reduced mobility along the spine.
But a new analysis of this specimen, known as Shanidar 1, shows he had another major disabilityâone not noticed during earlier examinations. New research published in PLOS One reveals that the bony growths found in this Neanderthalâs ear canals would have resulted in serious hearing loss. So this Paleolithic-era hunter-gatherer, according to the updated analysis conducted by anthropologists Erik Trinkaus from Washington University in St. Louis and SĂŠbastien Villotte of the French National Centre for Scientific Research, was profoundly deaf.
Yet despite his deafness and his other physical setbacks, Shanidar 1 died between 40 and 50 years of age (based on dental analysis). By Paleolithic standards, he was an old man. The only way he could have lived to such a ripe old age is by receiving considerable help from others. âMore than his loss of a forearm, bad limp and other injuries, his deafness would have made him easy prey for the ubiquitous carnivores in his environment and dependent on other members of his social group for survival,â said Trinkaus in a statement.
Trinkaus and Villotte says itâs not surprising that his fellow Neanderthals were able and willing to provide this level of social support. Profoundly, these extinct humans buried their dead, a funeral act that anthropologists say is indicative of social cohesion, social roles, and mutual support. Whatâs more, Neanderthals used pigments and feathers to modify their appearance, which the authors say is âa reflection of social identity manipulation and social cohesion.â To say Neanderthals cared for the physically impaired is therefore not a stretch.
neanderthals had better health care than the USA
