bumped into my neighbor who told me about how when she was mowing she found a praying mantis and while pointing it out to a another neighbor ran into a group of 4 men and also asked if they wanted to see and they enthusiastically agree

so, she takes them to see it and notices that these men are almost giddy over this bug so she starts asking questions and turns out they are from various African countries, are scientists travelling on some sort of research grant, and one of them in particular is specialist in insects and they were all just on their way to their Air B&B

like. Imagine you arrive in this foreign country to study its local bugs, you get off the plane and start walking to where you are staying, and some old lady stops you and is all "hey! Come look at our local bug!"

The Williamette Meteorite is the largest meteorite ever found in North America.

The meteorite was found in Oregon, but there was no impact crater at the site - it was probably moved there by glacial action during the Ice Age.  It is made of iron nickel, and weighs 15.5 tonnes.

Human bodies are so weird like the upper half consists of every single vital organ and the lower half is legs

Scientist on the ship: listen you laugh at the regulations but one time a woman DID try to tale a penguin home with her. I swear. She got it on the ship and was keeping it in her bathroom.

Me: that's WILD. These bathrooms aren't up to spec for penguins even overnight

Scientist: ...how would you know that

Me, realizing I'm about to get to tell my story about managing a hotel when there was an emergency stopover for penguin transport and we were the only place in the area with bathrooms that would work for the night:

The radius and ulna are among my favourite bones specifically because they do this

[jessica-problems]

I hate this. I hate that they do this. I think about this every time I rotate my wrist. It seems like the sort of thing that would go wrong in all sorts of horrible ways and leave a bone sticking out of my skin. and yet it keeps happening. every day of my life.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I rotate my arms regularly just because I like it when they do this.

[eternal-fractal]

iiiiiii dont. think thats how bones work

[frankencanon]

Here are two videos on Reddit demonstrating how the radius bone rotates around the ulna bone: link / link

[eternal-fractal]

Yeah i doubt someone would make these gifs for the purpose of an online joke so I have no choice but to believe it

[invisible-goats]

i have a degree is bones (bioarchaeology) this is how bones work and i hate it

Yes, the fics where Ilya goes to Shane's game in his jersey are cute and romantic. But why has no one even considered:

I just binged the Gachiakuta manga like the monster I am. So have some of my favorite panels out of context.

excuse me for stating the obvious but like. james gunn outright calling superman an immigrant and doubling down on it when he got backlash (because he IS an immigrant, that's the point of superman) + the in-movie dialogue of "aren't you going to read me my rights?" "you're an extraterrestrial, son. you haven't got any rights to read." + the violence of his arrest and how they torture and mistreat him unapologetically, all under the guise of "protecting america", in a film releasing during the onslaught of violent ICE kidnappings and abuse... yeah it's really no wonder right-wing knobheads are crying about this being woke. they're being forced to look directly at the reasons one of the most well-known and beloved heroes of all time would not be on their side. and that's only ONE of the reasons this movie covers

Victor Frankenstein syndrome aka you spent nights over nights crying and bleeding over this work and now that it's finally done you're just like "nvm. it's trash" and go to bed
