Tumblr when my WiFi is connected and working perfectly:

[telltaletypist]

telling gay men that they are allowed to love each other freely, openly, and passionately will always be more important than reassuring insecure straight men that they can hug their bestie without being gay

[telltaletypist]

the solution to men withholding love and affection from each other out of fear of being perceived as gay is to remove the stigma around being perceived as gay, not to "no homo" male affection

Scientists have discovered how to make glow-in-the-dark cats by inserting the jellyfish genes that create fluorescent proteins into feline eggs.

[wordswithkittywitch]

I needed to check that this was real, and apparently, it is. What’s more, the end goal in these experiments was to fight feline AIDS, creating glow-in-the-dark cats was a side effect. That might be the greatest sentence I write this year.

[supersciencegeek]

Ok, so the short version is that scientists want to insert a Useful Gene. But they have no way of knowing if the Useful Gene actually got incorporated into the cat’s (or other animal’s) DNA. So they glue the Glow Gene to the Useful Gene. If the animal glows, both genes got inserted successfully.

[the-floral-skeleton]

Yes! Pretty much every glow in the dark science animal is that way because of the above! A lot of people don’t get that, and think scientists are just screwing around and doing slightly irresponsible things with animal DNA just cuz they can. That’s not the case at all

My best friend loves rob pattinson and over the years she sent me a lot of articles/quotes of him, so here are some of my favourites

(there is A LOT more, this man is INSANE)

Bonus:

[cipheramnesia]

Somewhere along the line Pattinson figured out the celebrity interview was 95% bullshit social contract with zero penalty associated with breaking it and ever since then he's turned them into his own personal postmodern entertainment project. I appreciate him for it.

Found footage horror movie but instead of the monster attacking the crew it just steals the camera and the rest of the film is the crew chasing the monster to get the camera back

reblog to give the person you reblogged it from a little heart lollipop

[backread-deactivated20250608]

The internet is so fucking weird to artists who make anything interesting "thanks! I hate it" "this is cursed" "i love this but i hate this" you realize some people aren't drawing memes all the time right and art can be a medium of expressing complex feelings and writing off ppls expressions as a joke is so weird i hate meme poisoned weirdos

[backread-deactivated20250608]

Why'd you even fucking reblog this you dork ass loser. You're exactly the type of disrespectful person im talking about that mocks artists' work whether they're joking or not and think that artists don't have feelings just cuz they're online. The world doesn't revolve around your irony-poisoned memebrain interpretations of art. L + ratio + you're a little bitch + get lost

[pancakeke]

memebrained comments are also a huge problem on twitter to the point that they're making non-English speaking artists delete their works/private their accounts because the "jokes" don't translate well and the artists feel harassed.

also it's legitimately important to learn how to communicate without hiding behind memes and irony for more reasons than just this.

Ok so this is cool but I always wondered how they knew the shadows were different at the same instant. I mean it is not like they had phones. How did they sync up that instant. I feel like that would be interesting to know but no one ever says.

[when-it-rains-it-snows]

^^^Does anybody know this one? How, that far apart, the time at which the shadows were observed was synced up? I am genuinely curious, not a goddamn moron asking a gotcha question. High/Low tide? (I live in the middle of the country I do not know for the precise habits of tidal activity.) The appearance of a star (or planet) in the sky? Something as utterly mundane as sunrise?

[kerosenekate]

Well, first of all, it wasn’t actually pillars! Eratosthenes was told about a well in Syene that, in the summer solstice every year (June 21st) would be illuminated at the bottom entirely and without any cast shadows. This indicated that the sun was directly overhead. Going off that well known curiosity and an intelligent hunch, our dude Eratosthenes waited until high noon of the summer solstice to measure the angle of a shadow cast by a stick in Alexandria. (Sidenote: Eratosthenes was a librarian of the infamous Library of Alexandria.)

His next course of action was to hire bematists, surveyors of the time whose professional specialty was to measure distance by walking with equal length steps. They measured a distance between Alexandria and Syene of about 5000 stadia. (Guess where the word stadium comes from.) Once he had that measurement, Eratosthenes did his math-y thing, and there you have it.

[when-it-rains-it-snows]

ANSWER EVEN COOLER THAN I HOPED!!

[cellarspider]

Eratosthenes’ work was thorough enough that by the time he finished revising his calculations, he ended up only 66 km off of the actual polar circumference of the Earth, or an error margin of 0.16%. [wiki]

the weirdest shit i have ever experienced as a swede is when around the mid 2000’s it became popular in sweden for teenage boys to wear rubber bands around their legs on top of their jeans. the more rubber bands you had and variety in colors the more alpha you became to the other teenage boys

[dsdsfdgd-deactivated20150704]

i don’t understand

[brassers-deactivated20181223]

bring this quality fashion trend back to the streets

Holy shit

see this is what i mean when i talk about folk memory and inherited genetic memory

EMMA, LINNEA, EXPLAIN

[ghostseh]

Oh MY GOD THIS IS LIK THE FUNNIEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN IN SWEDEN. DID THIS NOT HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE?

ok so basically for a while in sweden pretty much everyone would wear like a hairband at the bottom of their jeans. i guess it was the fashion for jeans to be kinda tight around the ankles and not flop around and shit. it wasn’t totally horrid at first considering this is, after all, a mid 2000 trend we’re talking about.

Not SO bad to begin with right? I mean the trousers here are fairly discreet even though everything going on above that is an atrocity.

but then it escalated

and just kept escalating

the trend got different nicknames in different cities. In gothenburg we called them ‘Partille Johnny’ - Partille being a slightly upperclass and pretty white suburb. Google the name yourself to see more.

I mean I’m not gonna lie, was guilty of sometimes putting a single hairband around my jeans back then, similar to the girl in the ballerina shoes here. it’s just what everyone did for a while.

but then it escalated to the previously shown madness and suddenly no one wanted to be associated with it and the light hairband-use died out and the Partille Johnny’s kept pushing the hairband further and further up their legs, to the points where i’m pretty sure parents started worrying about their kids blood circulation.

[ghostseh]

Like ok I just want to add as well that I don’t think the first post here does the Partille Johnny justice because it only focuses on the jeans and the hairbands but come on it was SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. SO much effort went into this look ok

like everyone who did the hairband thing ALSO did this incredible thing with their hair and faces

like this was a lifestyle for the swedish lads

Every few years I type “swede teen rubber band legs” into google to find this again
