extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

I’m telling this story again b/c fuck it but anyways I was playing D&D and one of my friends went “brown bear brown bear what do you see” and on cue three of us turn to him and like, death metal screech “ALLLL”.

The dude goes completely pale faced. I saw true horror in his eyes. 

He didn’t know the joke.

So apparently dude just had three of his best friends demonically screech at him for no goddamn reason.

I do not think I will ever cause that level of sheer terror and confusion ever again in my life.

lmao are u kidding me this was at 200 notes last week what happened where did all these people come from

[image ids: the first two images are photos of a tabby cat with substance in his fur that makes it look gelled in all directions. In the second photo, he is sticking his tongue out just a little.

image 3 is a screenshot of tags that read #hi alex #he looks like a well loved offbrand beanie baby going for $2.50 at a yard sale

images 4 and 5 are a short simple line drawing comic where op opens a door saying "Alex I'm home! Did you behave yourself-?" To find a crowd of people staring at their scraggly cat. /end id]

Given that patent attorneys, especially back then used to have hard science degree, it makes the one about how they know the weight limit on a bridge funnier.

Dad 100% studied physics or engineering, he's just also a troll, which is why he's a patent lawyer.

I love love love saying "I scavenged a working microwave in the boylands" but nobody ever knows the reference and it breaks my heart

[markodragic]

like, the first time I ever saw this I laughed so hard I started choking on spit but it's just not the kind of thing you can share with the average person in your life. this world is so cruel

blows my mind that cheetahs are apex predators. that is the single most anxious creature I have ever seen. at any given moment a cheetah is exactly one stubbed paw away from bursting into tears. that is a sad dripping wet animal, and it's at the top of the local food chain? babygirl what happened

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

things I learned from this post:

cheetahs regularly get bullied by lions, hyenas, crocodiles, and baboons

multiple people think this means leopards aren't an apex predator/belong lower on the food chain

which is how I learned humans equate social status with position on the food chain. (which is nonsense to anyone who's ever met, for instance, a moose)

an apex predator is just a predator without natural predators of its own. you can be an anxious pathetic mess, but if you're not getting eaten by your neighbors, congrats! you're an apex predator.

i look it up to make sure cheetahs are apex predators

I find out it's not uncommon for cheetah cubs (and very occasionally adults) to be eaten by lions, leopards, hyneas, and even eagles???

well that sure calls into question their apex predator status. out of curiosity i check to see if there are any animals that hunt lions

this is how I discover that cheetahs, lions, hyenas, and leopards will all eat each other's children if presented with an easy opportunity (and sometimes young/elderly/injured adults)

begining to wonder how useful 'apex predator' is as a term

in conclusion, cheetahs are so fast because they are fueled by Grade A+ Ultra Concentrated Anxiety and they need that speed to run away from their problems

i'm keeping you in the time loop. it's the only way i know how to keep you safe. trapping you here, in the last day that you're alive, ignorant of what's to come as the sun sets. i dread each minute, a countdown to the end, but live in relief as all the blood washes away, all the would-be scars fade, and the tears dry before they have a chance to fall. but the memory of you dying in my arms remains, and so i'm keeping you in the time loop

[theamazingbard]

(you figured out i'm keeping you in a time loop. you ask me to let you go every day now. i can't i can't i can't i can't i can't i)

We were watching the glass blowing competition show on netflix because it's really cool to see those talented artists do their thing...

But I will NEVER forgive the judges for eliminating an amazing artist who's concept was that plastic hamster tubes are actually dangerous for hamsters yet they are normalized in our society so they made a beautiful glass rendition of an endless loop of colorful hamster tubes as an expression of how we can be trapped by society in a loop of behavior that is normalized but actually killing us

And the judges were like "this isnt DEEP ENOUGH" because they dont care enough about hamsters to learn and interpret the artist's statement at the level it was meant for.

They literally saw the glass renditions of colorful tubes that represent suffering and being trapped in a glossy predesigned hell and went "this is too normal and isnt saying anything important actually" Fuck them!!!!

Anyways Gemma should have won and I'm so happy to see that she didn't let it stop her amazing concept and she continued with it outside of the time constraints of the show. Fuck yes Gemma
