Me: āThe food webs we try to teach children and the public are too simple to get the point across. Why do they never bother to show the more intricate relationships between specific species? It canāt be that hard to represent with basic teaching tools... Iāll make the thing!ā

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book
what the fuck is a time knife
Honestly, I really like the "Time Knife" analogy, because it's not really a bad thing! I was browsing through some newly released books yesterday, picked a few up and went "oh, this is just [insert manga]."
But I think that's great! Because the audience it is intended for is probably not familiar with that concept, the author is someone I like and know would make this concept their own, and the reader will likely go looking for similar and likely discover older media in the process, and everyone wins. The Hunger Games having a similar concept to Battle Royale meant a lot of readers also discovered Battle Royale, and the resurge of interest got new editions released.

My dear friends, I am Heba from Gaza, a mother of three children. Two months ago, my husband left me and traveled away, and before we could feel safe, war broke out and our home was destroyed, leaving me and my children without a provider. Now, we are living in refugee camps and facing harsh and difficult conditions. My children have developed chronic skin diseases that require immediate care and treatment, and as you know, the situation here is extremely difficult. We are in urgent need of your help to provide the necessary medications and basic food supplies. Words cannot express the fear and anxiety I feel and how it is affecting my children in these circumstances. I also aspire to reunite them with their father, so they can be by his side and feel safe and secure. If you can help us, I would be very grateful, as any support can make a difference in our lives. Thank you for your concern and support during these challenging times.ā„ļø

I am Lynn Matar, a mother of five children. The wife of Ahmed Matar. My husband traveled to the Netherlands. A month before the war, he had to make a living, and I endured and insisted on continuing in Gaza alone, without a breadwinner. š In Gaza, after the occupation destroyed our home. Our situation is very difficult. She lives in a tent and suffers from the high costs of war. The children suffer from some serious diseases, and they need help to get the necessary medical care, in addition to food and shelter. Help us travel to my husband and live a safe and stable life. šØāš©āš¦āš¦š Donating is a glimmer of hope in the darkness of this war. Please donate and participate. Via https://gofund.me/f18c36b8

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for help. My family is in a very danger situation due to the ongoing war, and I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them. Could you please reblog my campaign post from my profile? Each share could be a lifeline for my family. š Feel free to share it in any other social media platform if you would like. Our campaign has been verified āļø by operation olive branch, and is entry number 26 on their spreadsheet. Also with āļø Project watermelon,line 249/(212) on their spreadsheet. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.

No YouTuber will ever top the phrase "A powerful rat named Charles Entertainment Cheese."
"A California-themed amusement park in the already California-themed California" is also a banger and comes from the same channel.
How quickly we forget "You would have to pay an industrial engineer to create a complex computer simulation of a theme park populated with agents, all with unique preferences, riding attractions of varying capacities in order to compare and contrast wait times, number of rides ridden, and other factors with and without a virtual queue system just to get to the bottom of this incredibly niche curiosity" followed immediately by

This stops being quite as "zany shitpost" and becomes "Accidental Performance art commentary on Accessibility" when you consider the vast number of people unable to sit upright or leave a bed, most or all the time. No you don't see us, we're in bed either all the time or when our conditions flare up and put us there regularly.
When i first saw this I thought, "HAH- too bad that's not a feasible thing, then I could go so many public places while still safely cushioned and laying down!"
...only then did I realize how many people would never see it that way.

i rlly like how odysseus has been willing to show mercy up until this point. like EVEN ON POSEIDON AT FIRST he offered āhey we can both just like leaveā and only began fighting when poseidon tried to drown him
then fucking ANTINOUS shows up and is like āiām going to sexually assault your wife and kill your sonā and ANY THOUGHTS of showing mercy on him or anyone in that room immediately went OUT OF THE WINDOW
even when the suitors tried to beg for mercy, odysseus didnāt even dignify them with a proper response. he just said āno.ā
I love how good the ithaca saga characterizes Penelope. And I'm not talking about her being super smart and disgusting loyal, I'm talking about her being so clearly SPARTAN.
Like this saga was so wild and Penelope the whole time was just like, "Oh.. anyways-". I genuinely never seen a character so unbothered by pure insanity in every song they are in (which was only twoš)
Penelope in the challenge: "A supernatural storm just appeared dangerously close to our kingdom in an instant and left just as fast.... My husband must be here!"
Odysseus in the final song: "I treated people as subhuman and murdered hundreds."
Penelope: "Can you pick up our wedding bed?"
Odysseus: "... did you not hea-"
Penelope: "No, I heard. Now pick up the bed."
Odysseus: "No! I worked so hard on that bed!"
Penelope: "Perfect! I still love you."
Odysseus: "I'm a mass murdere-"
Penelope: "And I breathe air. Who cares?"
(Bonus: Penelope was in her room listening to the dying screams of the suitors and was probably like, "Sounds like the boys are having funš.")
one thing I noticed with the ithaca saga is how the challenge is framed.
With Penelope, she says 'whoever can string my husband's old bow'. Nothing really unusual, cause Odysseus is still her husband.
Where as the Suitors say 'whoever can string the old king's bow'. They feel entitled to being the new king. Odysseus is out the picture for them.
It would've been so easy to just have the lyric be 'whoever can string the king's old bow', but it's not.
To Them, Odysseus is no longer king, and I think when he does actually show up at the end of Hold Them Down, they would've been floored.
The fact they go back to calling him king when they're begging for mercy just adds salt to the wound. Like he's only their king when it's convenient.
I could be reading into this too much but it's still so interesting to me.
knew i was right for looking up to lucy pevensie from childhood
I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.
In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.
(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)
Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? š„ŗ" request.
(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)
I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

I have worked in the food service industry for 20 years and I just wanted to make an informational list of common mistakes or misconceptions I see in writing about said industry. Not trying to be a jerk, just thought I would try to make a helpful list! I will add more if I think of any and please feel free to ask any questions you may have!
- it's cookie dough, not cookie batter. Doughs are for thicker stuff, typically something you can pick up in your hand (cookies, bread). Batters are more liquid and pourable (cakes, brownies, muffins)
- one person cannot make all the products from scratch and bake everything themselves unless they are a very slow business. Most of the time someone has a specific thing they do weather it's focused on specific products or split up like one person does the batters/doughs, one person preps and bakes, one person decorates. Sometimes one person does multiple things but generally not every single thing every day by themselves
- Front of House = people interacting with customers like barista, waiter, person at the register. Back of House = people making the food (line cook, baker, etc), dish washer (the worst job in the world, I salute all dishwashers everywhere)
- if they're doing stuff like bagels, doughnuts, breakfast pastries, cinnamon rolls, bread, etc they are there EARLY. Depending on the product some people start working at 2 in the morning. I saw a published book that had someone making dozens and dozens of cinnamon rolls from scratch in like one hour. Not possible even though I wish it was
- frosting, icing, and glaze are all different things. Frosting is the thicker stuff you see on cakes and cupcakes. Icing is typically for cookies, especially the decorated cut out sugar cookies. Glaze is thin, like what you get on doughnuts
- 99% of people who work in the food service industry will immediately go home and shower. I've seen lots stories where the character gets done at work and goes out. You are covered in various substances with powdered sugar in places you didn't know it could get, a shower before Literally Anything is a must
