fun fact

im weirdly knowlagable in the history of soda i dont even drink soda why do i know so much about it

narwhalsarefalling

coke and pepsi taste different because coke was invent before refrigeration so it was designed to be drunk warm, while pepsi was designed after refrigeration was invented so it was designed to be drunk cold. as a result the tastes are different but if you drink pepsi cold and coke warm theyll taste the same.

yoon-ity

Why the fuck do you know this

narwhalsarefalling

i honestly have no idea

coke’s recipe was originally green but the designers made it brown so it looked more like tea

squirrelstone

Had they never seen green tea?

narwhalsarefalling

i dont even know if green tea was invented in 1886 but they wanted to make the public more open to eating the fizzy drink

gostaks

Green tea was invented in the 13th century and made up 22% of the tea thrown off the ship in the Boston Tea Party

alan i know about soda not green tea

cheap-pink-mints

i will trade u information abt bees and carrier pigeons for information abt the history of soda

narwhalsarefalling

no one knows where the origin of the name ‘7up’ started but it did have a mood stabilizer in the original recipe found in present day anti-depressants

i want facts about bees and carrier pigeons now

cheap-pink-mints

Carrier pigeons come from a species of Wild Rock pigeon, and their flights could be as long as 1800 km and were used as early as 3000 years ago.

You know in old cartoons where a character throws a beehive at someone, and you think ‘lol, but that wouldn’t work in real life’. Turns out it would, and did. People used to lob beehives at the approximate location of the enemy forces to expose them.

Threads like this are pretty much the reason I come to Tumblr

If you’re going to get a cat, you must understand two things:

1. As far as a cat is concerned, the highest form of entertainment is annoying another cat on purpose.

2. If you have a good rapport with your cat, you count as another cat.

You can divert much of this behaviour by getting two cats, so that they can annoy each other, but tradeoff is that sometimes they’ll decide to team up on you instead.

A friend: hey! You should really watch that show!! It's my favourite and you'll love it!

Me: are you, knowing me, 100% sure you want me to get into it?

Him: yes of course we could talk about it and stuff!!

Me: 100% sure?????

Him: YES!

*couple of days later*

Me: so I finished the show and it was amazing!

Him: omg great! *Stops* wait.... Didn't.... Didn't you just started it like two days ago...?

Me: yes, and?

Him: it's 4 seasons!!! You're in college!!! You have class!!! When did you even had the time???

Me: look I warned you I'm crazy. Now, *Opens a spreadsheet* let's talk about my OTPs and thoughts (ʘᴗʘ✿)

What the Fuck??

People think of children as either sweet and innocent or too stupid to cause much trouble and both views are wrong. A child of elementary school age has the moral reasoning and impulse control of a racoon paired with problem solving equal to or superior to an adult’s, yet unbound by the shackles of cautionary experience or awareness of long-term consequence.

This is what allows the children to both create a black market in live bioweapons while still only valuing said weapons at 25 cents.

The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.

Never lose a perfect shower line again.*

I’ve used these to outline term papers. nothing like a bath to get your brain to finally kick into gear and figure out your damn thesis

Are you kidding, shower crayons are the BEST when you share a bathroom with other people. When I was in college, we had them and we would use them to carry on philosophical debates, finish song lyrics, get life/writing advice, etc. It was so much fun and I miss it.

Oh my GOD no one told me these existed

God fucking bless the people who made these

Going back into the shower (you don’t need to turn it on) can be enough to retrieve the memory

Our brains refresh every time we go through a doorway. It packs away the data from the room we left so it can load up the floor plan of the room we’re going into. If you go back to the room where you had the thought your brain will often unpack the memory when it’s loading up the floor plan

are you telling me i can’t remember info bc my brain is rendering???

People: lesbian dates are like weirdly long

Me: no it's not

Me: *going for a first date to eat pizza ending up almost sleeping at her place because we talked all night*

People:

Me: shut up.

Matilda (1996) dir. Danny DeVito

fuck-hatchetfield-high-deactiva

iconuk01

As others have noted in the past, Danny DeVito not only directed Matilda (and played her dad), but he and Rhea Perlman (DeVito’s wife at the time and Matilda’s mum in the movie) basically looked after Mara Wilson because Mara’s mother was in hospital with terminal cancer at the time of filming (She died during post production work, and it wasn’t until years later Mara discovered that Danny had taken an advanced (not quite completed) copy of “Matilda” to the hospital so that her mum could watch it before she passed.)

When Mara mentioned that she was feeling nervous about the dancing to “Little Bitty Pretty One” sequence, it was DeVito’s idea to have the ENTIRE cast and crew join in and dance too (off camera) so she wouldn’t feel self-conscious, apaprently even the craft services folks joined in, and the cameraman shooting the scene did a bit of a shuffle, but not too much because it would mess with the camera shot)
