Guys...I FOUND IT HERE

[is-the-primate-vid-cute]

Okay so I'm on anon bc this is a very embarrassing question to ask but uh

Is there any kinda non human primate that can grow something that looks like a black handlebar mustache? Asking for blorbo related reasons.

Not that I can think of! Funny enough, white is the most common facial hair colour for primates across the species. Even chimpanzee facial hair is often white!

However, if we’re being creative or talking fictional primates I am confident that most any primate species could pull off a sharp black handle bar. Don’t be afraid to break out your art supplies and see what you can do!

[stuffilikexo]

Saimiri boliviensis/ Black-capped squirrel monkey (7 in the first diagram) have markings that can look a bit like a curved moustache and goatee. Tamarin and Erythrocebus have moustaches.

Here are a few fictional scenarios:

The back moustache is a genetic mutation

The facial hair is deliberately dyed and styled as part of a sideshow.

It's an entirely fictional primate species.

The primate is sentient like the librarian in the diskworld series or the planet of the apes series. The primate either look different due to the magic or chooses to groom their facial hair that way.

yesterday i was talking to a Guy and i asked what time it was and he git really excited and said "time for you to get aaaaa.... SUNDIAL!!" and then started talking about sundials and sounding like a fucking commercial and i pointed out that sundials have to be in one specific spot to work and he got all nervous and asked if i've tried a sextant. what the fuck

[littledeconstruction-deactivate]

not to sound like Sundial Salesman Guy but … he’s lowkey right, if you’re in a place with a fair amount of sunlight. two weeks ago i was hanging out with a little kid when she wondered aloud what time it was. i looked at the sun, adjusted my body a bit, put my elbow on the ground with the arm up perpendicular, and told her “it’s about 12:45.”

then she had to get a watch to see if i was right (pretty much — it was 12:50), and then i found myself explaining cardinal directions and sundials to a preschooler

ANYWAY MY POINT IS that no, sundials don’t require a fixed place for efficiency, only enough sun to cast a shadow & awareness of your relative direction, and knowing this is great but going on about it makes you sound horny for ancient Rome

[ballroomnotoriety]

if you don't know how to make a sundial but need a guesstimate on how much daylight is left, hold your hand out at arm's length horizontally and count how many fingers fit between the sun and the horizon. it's about 15 minutes a finger.

Person on screen: needs a couple pats of butter, a splash of olive oil, simmered on low with a bay leaf and a cinnamon stick. What?! You never seen a boy who knows his way around the kitchen? 

Yeah my mom always wanted a little girl but she got stuck with me instead. That wasn’t gonna stop her though so all my friends were opening up nerf guns and bmx bikes on their birthday, I was getting crockpots. 

(scene changes to the person dressed in a nice black suit jacket, bright pink dress shirt, and black tie) Yeah laugh it up! Take a picture while you’re at it 'cause this is the last time you’ll ever see me in a suit! How do boys wear these things??

(scene changes to the person dressed in the same shirt and tie with no jacket and the shirt cuffs unbuttoned and rolled up, with purple nail polish on their nails) No, I don’t know how to fight. I was only ever taught how to deescalate situations with healthy communication and emotional validation.

This is a comment someone appended to a photo of two men apparently having sex in a very fancy room, but it’s also kind of an amazing two-line poem? “His Wife has filled his house with chintz” is a really elegant and beautiful counterbalancing of h, f, and s sounds, and “chintz” is a perfect word choice here—sonically pleasing and good at evoking nouveau riche tackiness. And then “to keep it real I fuck him on the floor” collapses that whole mood with short percussive sounds—but it’s still a perfect iambic pentameter line, robust and a lovely obscene contrast with the chintz in the first line. Well done, tumblr user jjbang8

[headspace-hotel]

I hate that my aesthetic sense agrees with this but everything you just said was correct

[headspace-hotel]

I went back to dig up this post because I was thinking about poetry.

This is one of those non-poem things that are among my favorite poems.

As the OP stated, the use of alliterative consonants is aesthetically just great, especially the placement of the strongest use at the end: “fuck him on the floor.” The use of “chintz” is indeed great word choice.

Because I’m insane, decided to scan the poem:

Not only is the second sentence, indeed, perfect iambic pentameter, the entire poem is perfectly metered, though the first sentence has four iambs rather than five.

There are further things I love about this poem, though: I like the casual connotations of “keep it real” juxtaposed with “chintz.” It causes me to interpret the “chintz” more strongly as meaning something fake, a facade. There is also of course the coarseness of “fuck,” which is a contrast with “chintz” but a different kind of contrast, gutsy and carnal where “chintz” is flimsy and inanimate.

And then there is the storytelling: there is SO MUCH storytelling in just these two lines. To break it down: The speaker is having sex with a married man, in the house he shares with his wife, which is “filled with chintz”—something that here connotes fakeness, in contrast with “keep it real.”

The illicit encounter in the poem takes place within a house filled with facade, the flimsy construction of the wife’s marriage and domestic sphere, but the encounter itself is a taste of something “real.” That’s a story, and it’s just two lines.

This is EIGHTEEN SYLLABLES, y’all. The amount of meaning condensed into these eighteen syllables is stunning, and it is so elegantly done.

From a technical standpoint (and ive taken 300- and 400-level poetry classes so I can say this) this is damn near flawless as a poem.

mug bread. yes it makes bread in a mug. roughly the size of an english muffin we have 4/day. takes 4 ingredients and ready in <4min.

- 4tbsp flour

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1/8tsp or pinch of salt.

- 2tbsp milk, a little more if whole dairy milk.

make with any flour any kind of milk. very forgiving. we don't bother measuring much.

mix with fork. microwave 42 seconds. flip it over in mug. microwave 42 seconds. flip. 20 seconds. then you have bread. you can skip the second flip if tired.

if you have self rising flour just put 4tbsp of that with 2tbsp milk. can be dairy free gluten free vegan etc... we make it corn free pls tag corn free bc corn free recipes are so rare. thx

i’m a huge fan of doing cold silken tofu as low effort meal or just a meal where i don’t want to heat up my kitchen at all. it requires no actual cooking, little to no chopping, and can be easily adjusted to be absolute minimum effort to a little extra effort. also very ingredient flexible. apologies if my measurements are vague, i cook by vibe. everything with an asterisk is optional.

ingredients:

- silken tofu

- soy sauce

- rice wine vinegar (can be substituted with other vinegars/lemon juice/lime juice)

- sweetener (i like using maple syrup, but honey and sugar are also good!)

- garlic (you can use pre-minced or mince/press your own. I often use ginger garlic paste which i buy at the store or make myself in a food processor)

- gochugaru* or whatever chili powder you keep around, or skip if you don’t like any spice!

- sesame seeds*

- water

- persian cucumber* or really any veg you enjoy eating raw. I think the persian cucumber is really refreshing and light crunchy vegetables work best. Might even be good with something like a crisp apple!

- steamed rice*

- nori*

instructions:

0. [optional step] cook some rice, i use a rice cooker bc it’s very easy. while your rice is cooking, proceed with the rest of the recipe. if you have left over rice this is also a great way to use it, wait till the end of the recipe and then heat up your rice up last. I just microwave it with a wet paper towel over it.

1. drain and plop your block of silken tofu onto a plate, pat off excess moisture w a paper towel or don’t if your are feeling lazy

2. chop up your cucumber or other veg into bite sized pieces and set aside. If I’m cooking for one i just do 1 persian cucumber.

3. mix soy sauce, vinegar and sweetener in a 1:1:1 ratio, add ~a clove of minced garlic or ginger garlic paste. and some gochugaru to your own taste, i use maybe 1-2 tsp? and some sesame seeds, maybe also 1-2 tsp.

4. TASTE IT!! and adjust to your personal taste by adjusting the ratio of salt/acid/sweet and by diluting with a bit of water. this sauce is very customizable so go nuts! add oyster sauce or sriracha or chili oil!

5. once the sauce is to your liking, dump the chopped veg on top on the tofu and then dump the sauce over all of it.

6. that’s it! you’re done! I like to eat this with rice and nori, and often kimchi.

Lentil Soup is one of my favorite low spoon meals. The most intense part is washing the lentils.

[I.D. Two drawings of Garfield. The first is sitting down like a normal cat, as he used to be portrayed in the comics. The second, he is standing on two legs like a human and points to himself with a red glint in his eye. Text above and below reads “Become Bipedal.” End I.D.]

Ok, quick rule of thumb to tagging posts for the safety of photosensitive epileptics.

Does you post contain flashing lights, heavy glitching, or anything else that is likely to cause a seizure from looking at it?

Tag it with flashing lights

Does your post warn about one of the above in a movie or video or tv show or game without including visual examples that would make the post fall into the above category?

Tag it with epilepsy

In summary: is it important for us to see it? Tag it with epilepsy. Is it important that we DONT see it? Tag it with flashing lights.
