According to Know Your Meme, on August 18th, 2005, Erwin Beekveld brought forth this work into the world. HAPPY TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY, THEY’RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD.
sheds a single tear
every august 18th my notifications break and i go, fuck, tumblr has failed me once again, but it hasn’t. it hasn’t failed me. it’s just the taking the hobbits to isengard-iversary. happy 12 years
#i hope we all celebrated this international feast day accordingly
Twenty years of earworms
It has now become fond ....
Also to be clear if you put the new Harry Potter show on my dashboard I will be unfollowing and probably blocking you. JK Rowling is responsible for the death and pain of too many trans people to count in my country and I cannot tolerate her new way of trying to gain cultural and financial power in any way shape or form.
sorry i can’t go out tonight i’m at home sitting down
it's really embarrassing how much self control i have to exert when you put me in front of a tray of convenient and tender meat like if you put meatballs in front if me the fuckers are gone in milliseconds. same true of roadted brussels sprouts or basically anything that's a nice little dense and textured morsel. i am the hors that d'ouvres
do not stand at my plate and snack. that shit's all mine. please give it back. i am the dozen hors that d'ouvre. i am the meatball's gentle curve. i am the cracker's butter crunch. i am a thousand grapes for lunch.

The number of people in the notes of this post who think this is Americans being weird about BRAND NAMES fascinates me.
In the US, 'lemonade' is not a category- it is not ANY drink/soda that is lemon flavored. Lemonade is, specifically, a drink made from combining water, sugar, and actual lemon juice. There might be other flavor additives, like lavender or strawberry, if you're getting fancy with it, but it's almost never going to be carbonated.
There are commercially produced lemonades, you CAN get it in a can or bottle, but it's easy to make at home and probably a majority of Americans are going to think of the homemade stuff before ever thinking of branded versions. Many restaurants, indie and chains, here make their own lemonades to serve, and may ALSO serve lemon-lime sodas like Sprite, which they would not even think to call lemonade.
The reason why the stereotypical thing for a kid to do to make money in American media is a lemonade stand is that American Lemonade is kind of like Smores in the sense that it's a really simple thing that a child can make with limited supervision. In fact, there's no fire, so even no supervision.
A standard one-serving recipe (in metric) One whole lemon squeezed. 50 g Sugar (about equal amounts sugar and lemon) 240 ml water.
Mix. Serve cold. With ice.
While Spite and other lemon lime sodas are clear and fizzy, lemonade is flat and cloudy and yellow.
Different places will mess with the ratios (some have less water or more sugar or more lemon or something)
A restaurant that sells lemonade will have something like this
Where there'll have lemonade, and then maybe lemonade mixed with iced tea or lemonade mixed with some other fruit.
The point, is that when you ask for a "lemonade" it's again, not them being petty about brain names. It genuinely does not occur to them that you could possibly mean spite. I have never heard of Spite being referred to as Lemonade. We do have Fizzy Lemondae, but that's again, sugar, lemon, and carbonated water. Sprite is Lemon-Lime. It would not occur to an American to consider Sprite as ANY kind of lemonade.
“american lemonade is easy to make, just like smores”
i need you to know that smores are also an american thing that i don’t even begin to understand how to make “easily” as a dutchman

I regret to inform my fellow Americans that Graham Crackers are also a thing that only America has.
Basically for Brits, it's a biscuit made with graham flour.
Oh wait, graham flour is also American. It's coarsely ground whole wheat flour. The crackers are thin and crunchy and mildly sweet. They're similar to digestive biscuits but thinner and crunchier and easier to bite through.
I remember being really confused as a kid by the whole lemonade stand thing. Because how the hell do you make it fizzy?
Also the "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" thing was also confusing because it was like. When life gives you lemons... take inspiration from the flavour of them and then go do something else I guess?
Like most phrases given to people who are struggling, it was completely useless. So I never questioned that perhaps lemonade was not sprite everywhere.
@featherfur
Yeah, a lot of things Americans think are universal are not. I have never had a Graham cracker and am unsure why they would be the go-to for marshmallows.
With some exceptions, like enormous brands such as coke, pepsi, and nestle, most branded things (things described only by their brand such as Graham crackers instead of like, chocolate biscuits or something) you'll find in American are American specials.
We don't have Dr pepper or Hershey's in Australia either. There are guaranteed to be others that I don't know, but I know those two are mentioned a lot.
Conversely you guys don't get timtams, Milo, monte carlos, shapes, chicken salt, deep fried dimsims, maltesers, cherry ripes, violet crumbles, freddo frogs or indeed any type of Cadburys, musksticks, fizzers, redskins, wizz fizz, or even the ingredients to make Anzac biscuits. Which sucks for you because all those things are awesome. AND your soft drinks have that weird slime texture.
We do have oreos tho. And we have a better version which has orange paste instead, which you also miss out on.
Further point of clarification for non-Americans, the graham in graham cracker is a generic name for the variety, not a brand name. It refers to their inventor, Reverend Sylvester Graham, a nineteenth century Presbyterian minister who believed that eating rich and heavily spiced foods excited people's libido and therefore it was virtuous and healthy to eat the most boring food possible.
Modern graham crackers are typically slightly sweetened. They're cheap, are designed to break into pieces approximately the size of a toasted marshmallow, and have a slightly coarse texture that complements the marshmallow and melted chocolate. It's also common to eat them dipped in milk, and to use a mixture of graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter to make a crumbly crust for cheesecake or cream pies.
If I ever get access to a time machine my first stop will be explaining s'mores to Rev. Graham.
It took me seeing screenshots of that infamous Great British Bake Off episode with the s'mores to truly hit home about the Graham crackers being American.
Sometimes I'll eat plain Graham crackers right out of the sleeve, I used to have a thing for honey flavored teddy grahams which were shaped like toy bears.
Not the point at all but we absolutely have Cadbury's chocolates here. Haven't seen the frog ones and I'm sure whatever is sold here isn't as good (tho I personally think it's the best chocolate avaliable in America that wasn't made from scratch by a fancy chocolate shop) but we get bars and those creme eggs (tho those are mostly sold around Easter) like they aren't even remotely uncommon, I've seen at least the bars in every single grocery store I've ever been to.
I agree about American soda tho it's not great, the best sodas are from Mexico, once you try Mexican coke you cannot go back.
That last sentence took me out
(Mexican coke is made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup, so the flavour is supposed to be way better)
Canadian friends, I have tragic news. They've discontinued Jersey Milk chocolate bars, which is the A+ choice of chocolate for s'mores. I found this out after searching through three grocery stores on the way to our traditional cottage vacation. We eventually had to make do with Aero bars. It was ok, but not quite the same.

It's been a long time since I made a cartoon for self-care Sunday! (I'm on a short break in between working on comic books, so I have a little more time to draw just for fun.) This idea originally came to me from A. J. Jacobs in his book "The Puzzler." Sometimes, my brain can feel so noisy at night when I try to sleep, ruminating on the past today or what's coming up tomorrow. I find this exercise so calming for my busy brain and sometimes fall asleep after just a few letters. (If you make it all the way through the alphabet, you could always start backwards and go again!) Let me know if you find it helpful!
his dark materials will literally always work bc every small child wants an animal companion that loves you most and goes on adventures with you and every adult wants an animal companion that can shoulder some of life’s immense psychologically damage for you. and you can pet it
And to tear down the feeble corpse of God! Every kid and adult wants that also!
name a good bug. name your favourite bug. I want to see your favourite bugs or maybe just lil guys you have an affinity for.
the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

The only adhd tips that actually work:
1. Never tell anyone what you're planning to do until you do it (you will get a premature dopamine hit and sense of accomplishment from telling them and lose motivation to actually do it)
2. Never sit down (never sit down)
