hey boss, just "accidentally" stabbed my "hand". got any cursed blood facts?

great news anon, as a human your blood is already among the most cursed on the planet!

see, most people don’t realize this, but mammal blood is actually completely unique among vertebrates. if you put a drop of mammal blood on a microscope slide next to a drop of lizard blood, you would be able to tell them apart instantly! 

how? simple- mammalian blood cells don’t have a nucleus!

the nucleus is a dark mass at the center of a cell that tells it what to do and lets it reproduce by splitting itself in two- and every other major vertebrate group on the planet has nucleated blood cells.

BUT NOT MAMMALS. (these cells are NAKED somebody please GET THEM SOME PANTS.)

at some point in their 200+ million years of evolutionary history, mammals discovered that if you force your red blood cells to drop their nucleus and turn into pink cheerios, they can focus on carrying oxygen and ONLY carrying oxygen! this means that mammal blood is much more efficient than fish or reptile or even bird blood at carrying oxygen liter-for-liter, though at the cost of lugging around some extra internal organs and having to make new blood inside of your bones. what a steal!

maybe that’s why all the stock photo blood researchers are making that face.

I'm sorry but those nucleated red blood cells are the ones that look cursed

[doctorfoxtor]

#also help correct me please but aren't those supposed zo be leukocytes?#there's no way those are thrombocytes

Nope, reptile blood is just that cursed that even the thrombocytes are nucleated lmao. They don't have the same megakaryocyte fragmentation system that (at least) humans have.

Which, if you ask me, makes lizard blood Demonically Cursdt.

[ley-med]

Thanks for the correction and also

Rohypnol has an INCREDIBLY salty taste to it. It’s disgusting. And it also isn’t a drug that acts immediately! The minute you notice the salty taste, you have about 5-10 minutes to get somewhere safe or call an ambulance, and it CAN be fought if you’re aware of it. It will make you woozy, it will make you so dizzy you can’t stand upright, it will certainly make you unable to walk properly, but if you struggle to remain conscious you can get about 20 extra minutes of consciousness from the drug before it will knock you out completely. If you’re in a public place, and the person who drugged you is trying to take you somewhere private, start. a. fight. Insist as LOUDLY and as VIOLENTLY as you can that you refuse to go anywhere with them. Odds are they’re trying to make as little of a scene as possible as they drag you away, and if you’re putting up a fight and very clearly ‘drunk’, eyes will turn on them and they’ll either need to let you go, or cause a serious scene, which they don’t want. Don’t just act like you’re just protesting being taken home, though. Fight like your life depends on it even if they aren’t assaulting you. Cause. A. Scene. That’s the last thing they want.

Everyone should reblog this!

I feel like everyone needs to see this. Especially that last one. I don’t care what kind of blog this is, but this is my most popular blog and want as many people to see this as possible. I’ll return to normal updates tomorrow.

[smol-american-bean-deactivated2]

I really do love that people have legitimately always just been people. Like how many angry breakup texts have their been that end with “Come get your stuff or I’m donating it to goodwill”? People never change.

Just a heads up

You know those “donate by watching” videos going around for BLM? I’ve made a list of all of em I could find. 8 of the 28 I found have been removed from youtube. This happened around the same time I believe, as they were all there mere hours ago. 

[autumngracy]

Basically YouTube is marking these videos as spam and removing them because people are looping them continuously and not playing any other videos in between them which gets the user’s account flagged for possible bot activity, and when it happens en masse YouTube’s algorithms determine the video in question muat be a marketing scam using bots to generate revenue off the ads …

You have to play 3-5 different videos between these fundraiser ones if you’re going to keep replaying them because otherwise they will keep getting flagged and removed!

[blackpyrefly]

if you arent adding things to your instant noodles you might be some kind of creature

[blackpyrefly]

like i think if youre just eating it with the flavour packet alone or, god forbid, without any additions, you are probably a beast of some kind
