Me at 5'6", looking at everyone else in the thread…

[cipheramnesia]

Height is an illusion, everyone is tall to me when my neck is chained to the bedframe.

THESE TIDDIES HAVE BEEN PASSED DOWN IN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS.

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

[xeansicemane]

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

I've seen it pointed out a few times that the various toxins mentioned above did technically have the desired effect, given humans started cultivating the plants and thus protected them from predators/insects, and spreading their seeds far and wide. I just like the idea of evolution/DNA in the examples above being like a benevolent Monkey Paw for the plants.

[sailor-arashi]

I like the reverse, where a plant has accidentally developed a defense that ONLY works on humans. Like urushiol, the oil in poison ivy and such, isn't an evolutionary defense, it's just that humans, and only humans, are extremely allergic to it.

Doesn't stop us from eating cashews, though. We just strip the part with the oil off first.

"Pallas kittens."

The sheer roundness of this kitten must be admired.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was bug sized in the woods and a giant blue cyclops scooped my up out of nowhere. Took me to their giant (somehow cozy) cave home and kept me in a jar on their shelf.

She didnt insert herself.

Dawn is an unfathomable mystical energy source key protected by Ancient Monks from being used by the Evil Hellgod Glorificus to destroy the world. Glorificus found the monks and killed them but not before they transformed the key into human form and sent it to the strongest protector on Earth. Dawn was created as Buffy's sister so that Buffy would love and protect Dawn. But Dawn doesnt know any of this, she has no memories of her energy key life and as far as she knows she's just a teenage girl, until she discovers the truth. And even then she doesnt remember.

And then Glorificus uses up the key energy to open the hell portal, and after Buffy saves the day the energy key is used up, and Dawn is left behind as just a powerless normal girl.

The research was overseen by the Institutional Review Board, which is what I named my surfboard.

it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible

[mousidy]

and yet they keep making movies with the hopes that one day humanity will discover a way to watch them. it's so inspiring

[prof-grace-aspen]

This is the best description I’ve heard for this method, I always thought it was bullshit because I never heard a description that actually explained how to do this other than “tap your head 20 times”.

I have anxiety-induced hissing, which sounds/feels different from sound-induced tinnitus (which I have also experience). Sound-based tinnitus actually sounds like you’re “hearing” something in your ears, whilst the hissing I have feels like it’s “inside my head”, if that makes sense. But this technique still helps!!

[mieaouy]

Here’s a visual I found because I couldn’t understand the instructions well

[sushinfood]

My ringing just went away for the first time in years. What is this blissful quiet.

[roseverdict]

wait wait i gotta try this, i don’t think i’ve had Actual Silence since i was like 5

[roseverdict]

HOW THE FUCK

[alex51324]

Reblogging to save a life, and also because, even if you don’t have tinnitus, this is totally worth trying if you like new sensory experiences.
