Hands hard, I haven't been wanting to draw hands because I'm not the best at them and I didn't want to be accused of using Ai... It seems silly but the mere association makes me ill, but I need to draw more, what the world is up to be damned.

If you’re having a bad day, just remember that someone somewhere is seeing Safety Tips From Anubis for the very first time.

That person is me

as an egyptologist, this fake egyptian bothered me so much. so i fixed it.

basic pronunciation followed by egyptological transcription in parentheses and translation in quotation marks.

frame 1: inek inpu (i̓nk i̓npw), “I am Anubis”

frame 2, poison: em wenem (m wnm), “do not eat”

frame 3, smoke detector: pa-yee pu em khenem khety (pꜣy pw m ḫnm ḥty), “this is for smelling smoke”

frame 4: ah-sh pa-yee tchen yot khena ta-yee tchen mawt (ꜥš pꜣy.ṯn i̓t ḥnꜥ tꜣy.ṯn mwt), “call your father and your mother”

frame 5: ankh wedja seneb (ꜥnḫ wḏꜣ snb), “live, prosper, and be healthy” ← like egyptian “farewell”

A tourist is hiking through the Scottish Highlands and stops to take a drink from a stream.

He hears a voice call out "Dinnae drink frae that, meester, it's a' fu' o' coo piss an' shite!".

Turning, the hiker sees a Scottish shepherd leaning on a stick, and he replies "I'm terribly sorry, but could you kindly repeat that in the King's English?"

And the shepherd says "Two hands sir - cup your two hands together or you'll spill it!"

average smb1 speedrun glitch: with two consecutive frame perfect inputs you can crouch, jump, and hit a wall at the same time, allowing you to walk through walls under very specific conditions when more than 5 coins are present on the left half of the screen, saving 6 frames

average sm64 speedrun glitch: using a rapid stick technique that exploits floating point math the community has dubbed "skeeter slider" mario can grab enemies in reverse and cycle their pointers, giving him the ability to swap his hat for any object in the level, including a dummied out model which instantly spawns a star if the global timer is underflowed to a negative number (40% chance), saving 3 minutes

average gen 1 pokemon speedrun glitch: under normal conditions, if you have 5 pokemon in your party and one of them is poisoned and two of them are ghost type, the game will misinterpret the 3rd pokemon in your party's hp stat as the map id, instantly warping you to a corrupted version of the hall of fame where all your pokemon are fainted level 4 rhydon

average ocarina of time speedrun glitch: by facing an extremely specific angle in kakariko village and opening and closing the menu on the same frame, then pressing every button at once (only possible on rereleases), inventory and map pointers will swap places, allowing child link to access any room in the game by physically removing the location pointer from his bag

For those who don't contain a vast knowledge of Green Day lore like myself, I don't think it is hitting just how much of a "fuck you" the NFL is giving djt/the white house.

This is a band that is:

Made entirely of openly bisexual/queer men

Made entirely of men who are vocal about being raised by single mothers on welfare

One of their members was adopted and raised by a Black Native American woman and has said he "understands how his mother could hate 'the white man' and love him with her whole soul."

Were the first band to say, "No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist/MAGA U.S.A." on live television without ANY warning.

Literally released a song last year called, "The American Dream Is Killing Me"

Prioritizes all female/female fronted bands to open for them to address inequality in the music industry. (edited for clarity since yall blew this post up. Lol)

OPENLY tells trump supporters they are not welcome at their concerts.

Anyway, Enjoy Feb. 8th Magats! You're gonna hate it. :)

Betting I’ve reblogged this before. Betting I’ll reblog it when it turns up again.

In addition to the print terminology stuff: the visual shorthand icons and ad graphics for something about writing are still often pen-nibs, fountain pens and typewriters…

…while graphics of a monitor, keyboard and mouse remain visual shorthand for computing…

…even though most writers now use monitor / keyboard / mouse or even laptop / touchpad.

In addition, headers for “this blog / website is about writing” are often in one of the many imitation typewriter fonts complete with smudges, or just Courier.

The start and end call icons on most / all smartphones is still the handset of a classic desk telephone, and sometimes the open-app icon is a complete phone.

The term “hang up” for “end the call” refers to something even older - one of these…

And of course the Save icon is indeed a 3½ inch floppy disc.

Why it wasn’t a 5¼ floppy is a mystery. The icon version is just as distinctive.

Also, why various OP updates never changed “Save” to the graphic of a CD / DVD or flash drive is another mystery, and nowadays a Save icon should probably be a cartoon cloud.

Graphics and terminology are funny things.

reblogging this again for EVEN MORE information.

I’m mostly entertained by the guy who thinks you need to know that “case” means “box” in French as though that’s not what it means in English.

It’s fascinating. This post alternately made me feel old and taught me something. Tumblr is amazing.

And because we continue to use signs of ancient hardware, youngsters come up with questions like “why is the icon for ‘save’ a vending machine with a can of soda?” (One day I’ll find that post and link it)

foone

The reason the save icon is a 3.5" floppy seems to mainly be that 3.5" disks were the most common disk by the time graphical interfaces got popular on PCs. Earlier stuff was more text based so they didn’t have or need icons.

But there are always exceptions. Lotus 1-2-3 for windows uses 5.25" disks for the save and load icons!

i hope we leave behind the weird infantalizing language in 2026. i'm sick of reading "grape" when people mean "rape". i'm sick of the cutesy language to talk about real world horrors. "oh but the platform i'm on would suppress the video" okay? then why are you trying to host the conversation there. there are DOZENS of social media sites out there. surely you can absolutely promote the video elsewhere. surely you can host the conversation elsewhere. why does going viral matter more than language that you're using to describe real world horrors. and why are you using that language in real life, where there is no algorithm to suppress it. you aren't going to get banned on reddit or youtube for saying "kill" get a grip
