There's a user called Erika Horn (@erikahorn.art) on tiktok who made a "duet me" challenge so technically impressive that all of the duets are exactly like this LMAO

[sightofsea]

i always give a lazy two finger salute when cars stop for me at a crosswalk and it's devolved so much that at this point I feel like an icon of jesus whenever I cross the street

[sightofsea]

car: stops for me at a crosswalk

me:

oh blessed art thou automobile for you have served the meek and humble. go on your way knowing your act of kindness has saved me 2 minutes on my trip to the bodega

The autoclave is designed to kill schmucks I think

[excalculus]

Oh hey, I've fallen for this one!

The first time I ran an autoclave, I was a high schooler and the thing was one of those ancient front loading beasts with a door like a bank vault or a submarine hatch. I genuinely didn't know any better, opened it early (required every muscle in my scrawny nerd body) and boiled the absolute fuck out of the ceiling with the resulting plume of steam.

Postdoc heard the sounds of panic, wandered in, and went, "oh right we should have told you to wait until the pressure gauge is ALL THE WAY down... but also," pointing up at the many many suspicious stains on that particular area of ceiling, "you aren't the first one to do that."

everyone likes to talk about fucked up joke spells like "super brain hemmorage" and "fill lungs with water" but i let my players make spells once theyre a certain level and my sorceror just sent me this text

Okay but wrestling, like kink, carries a huge irresponsible risk of permanent injury to the body.

the thing about supporting bodily autonomy is that it includes allowing people to do things to their body that you really don't like

[secondsundering-deactivated2024]

so so tired of people acting like it's taboo/embarrassing/shameful to be attracted to a fat person

i am fat and complete strangers have accused people i've dated of being chubby chasers, fat fetishists, or have just generally made rude comments about there being a size difference in the relationship

if you find a fat person attractive you really do not need to preface it with a "hear me out" or "this is so embarrassing, but" in fact. don't do that with anybody. please do not contribute to this weird attitude surrounding fatness and fat bodies

I see his robot as an absolute win

OK - a very tangential takeoff: Engineering prof assigns students this question: Explain how to determine the height of a very tall building using a barometer.

Obviously meant to use change in barometric pressure with altitude. But one student submitted the following:

There are several ways of doing this

1. On a sunny day, stand the barometer up in the sun, measure the length of its shadow relative to its height, then measure the length of the building’s shadow and calculate its height from that.

2. Go into the stairwell and climb the stairs to the top, marking off the length of the barometer on the wall, giving you the height of the building in “barometer units”.

3. Go onto the roof of the building and drop the barometer off the top and time how long it takes to hit the ground, then calculate the height using the well known formula of 32 ft./sec./sec.

4. Go into the office of the building superintendent and say “If you tell me how tall this building is, I will give you this nice barometer”.

I'll admit it I'm a freak who loves airplane turbulence it's like a roller coaster to me. It's fun and a rush and I'm tired of pretending it's not

i'm not the praying sort, but i'll probably always have a soft spot for the astronaut's prayer

[sic-semper-hominibus]

for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a possibly-spurious quote by alan shepard (and is thus sometimes referred to as the shepard's prayer) on the launchpad of Freedom 7, immediately before he became the first american in space. it goes like this:

"Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up."
