i love poison control. one time i was eating soup and i found glass in it (??? we to this day have no idea how) and i called them like "i might've swallowed a lot of glass" and they were like "without noticing?" and i was like "the pieces were small and i wasn't chewing because it was soup" and they said "oh what kind of soup?" and i said "butternut squash. i made it!" and they said, "did you...put the glass in there?"

The cartoonish-looking salamanders have faced an uncertain future in the wild. But researchers hope that breeding axolotls in captivity and
From the article:
"What we learned is if we can reintroduce these axolotls that have been in captivity to the restored wetland where the water conditions are ideal for the axolotls, they can survive," said Alejandra Ramos, lead researcher on the study published in the scientific journal PLOS One. "This is pretty big news because when you have animals in captivity, they lose a lot of their behaviors. Like, they don't know how to recognize a predator, they don't know how to catch prey, and so we were a bit nervous when we released them because we didn't know if they were going to be able to survive," she continued. But the charmingly cartoonish salamanders, also known as Mexican walking fish, didn't just survive in their new wild homes, they thrived.

idea: scene with two characters eagerly stripping each other clearly about to bone, but they keep getting interrupted by finding carefully concealed weapons in each other’s clothing, so they keep just unholstering, revealing and unstrapping increasingly ludicrous amounts of hidden guns and knives as the clothes come off, and it’s lowkey killing the mood a little
Alternatively: it's not killing the mood at all but it's totally making both of them giggle like they're twelve and possibly get lowkey competitive in a subconscious way about who has the most to drop.
The more that I think of it the more I'm seeing the incredible intimacy of letting someone know where you keep your backup knife.
Like my god, the trust involved in letting someone undress you and learn your secrets instead of popping into the bathroom to change where they can't see and hiding all your weapons under the sink
...Oh
second alternative: you go to hide all your weapons under the sink but there’s already a bunch of weapons hidden underneath the sink.
awkward
It’s not that there’s already a bunch of weapons hidden underneath the sink that makes it awkward so much as that there’s so many weapons hidden underneath the sink that they fall out of the cabinet with the unmistakable sound of a knife-alanche, and then the other person comes in like “I can explain!” and you’re just dead-ass standing there with your own armload of weapons like “I can also explain.”
Married version is shoving your hand in your partner’s clothes when you’re out of weapons because you KNOW where their spare is. Or wearing a weapon in a spot you can’t draw from yourself because its now spare storage for your spouse’s weapons.
Every single one of you is a genius

HOLY SHIT
What the fuck those things are real I thought it was just a cartoon
I thought the same thing when I moved to Arizona
Little velociraptor
Lads
ok but roadrunners are so cool, I can seldom think of a bird more velociraptor-like
more people need to know they’re real because look at this, this is some real walking with dinosaurs shit
they have powerful legs allowing them to run up to 20mph and leap to impressive heights with ease
they are extremely swift and fearless, quick enough to take down a sizable rattlesnake and other large prey animals like lizards and mice
they have several unique adaptations to thermoregulate, such as the dark patch of feathers on their back which acts as a solar panel to absorb heat, or its crest that either releases or absorbs heat by exposing its skin
they have these long, stiff tailfeathers that they use as a counterbalance when running, very reminiscent of the rod-like tail of a dromaeosaur
and they are capable of bursts of flight/gliding with incredibly beautiful plumage
I’m genuinely shocked how many people think they’re made up, they are real and they are AWESOME
I love you Mr. Meepmeep
Cannot emphasize enough that the statistical likelihood of you exclaiming “IS THAT A FUCKING ROADRUNNER?!” the first time you see one in the wild is close to 100%.
I think the most hilarious place to put Post-Canon Sokka would have been the university at Ba Sing Se. I think he would have made a great unhinged professor. Also, in true Sokka fashion, he should have completely dodged fame. Momo is more famous than he is.
He wants to demonstrate to the class how this thing called electricity works, so he's going to be bringing in a Firebender, so everybody be cool, we're all friends here... and in walks Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. One-time conqueror of the city. One of the students is currently writing an essay on how her brief rule of the city affected fruit trade. She says she considers the class to still be her subjects as she doesn't acknowledge any pretenders to any of her thrones, but for now you're exempted from bowing and "Your Highness" will do. It's a really interesting lecture.
"Okay, guys - hey, listen up, everyone - I won't be here next week, me and Aang are going to-" yeah right, sure, Professor Sokka knows the Avatar. Except, of course, the Avatar walks in sheepishly and says that Appa might have gotten into Sokka's hybrid crops, and then you all have to sit there and watch your professor chase the Avatar around with a sword.
One postgrad student is specializing in Water Tribe Cultures. She's currently studying the massive cultural shift that happened in the Northern Water Tribe at the end of the war - oh, and Professor, I absolutely know that you're from the Southern Water Tribe, but it's just that the shift started with Master Katara, and of course I don't think that every person from the South knows one another haha it's just that I need to ask her some questions and I thought maybe you could help me write a letter or write a letter of introduction or...
Sokka looks at her blankly and goes "yeah, she's my sister. KATARA!" which is followed by a faint answering "fuck you!" from Somewhere and to the horror/elation of our postgrad, Master Katara bursts in and is promptly beaned in the head with a rock by Professor Sokka. Her brother. her hero and her professor are siblings and currently brawling on the floor.
cannot be overstated just how bad the average person is at using gifs
what makes you say that?
my job uses microsoft teams and i am in hell
discord server for silent video game protagonists
chell, doomguy, link, samus, and master chief are all in the server and not one of them has ever sent a message in it. they all consider the others to be their closest friends
there’s a channel where Red sends pictures of all of his pokemon and they all get a Thumbs Up emoji react from everyone else
Eventually Link starts posting selfies in the most crazy places with monsters in the background about to hit him or closeups of plants and small critters. They also get a Thumbs Up react. Nothing else is said.
the Knight from Hollow Knight is on the server. They never post or even give anything the thumbs up react except for the occasional bug-type pokemon. One time Link uploaded an image of a sunrise and The Knight gave it the only Thumbs Down react anyone has ever gotten in the entire server. The resulting Drama (Consisting entirely of a single screenshot of the thumbs down react and a series of exclamation point reacts) nearly tore the server apart
Your vibe is oddly bitter and reeks of insecurity
sounds like someone needs to go in the water
Reblogging again because the art is spectacular. 10/10.

I'm so sick of people saying water doesn't taste. Water fuckin TASTES
well what does it taste like then?
You know, the place where I last worked wanted to use our reading room as backdrop for a filmed interview (we had a very pretty reading room). On the day the film crew was there, the audio guy came over to my desk which was at the edge of the space and said "Look, you can keep working 'cus you're not doing anything too loud, but in a minute I'm going to go over there and call for silence for 10-20 seconds, and during that time I need you to not make any noise." And I went "lol sure" but he clearly felt a little uncomfortable telling me to not move at my own desk so he explained; the purpose of those 20 seconds is to record the silence in the room.
It's so they have a patch they can edit "silence" over some extraneous background noise later (the phone ringing, me getting an email, the toilet flushing in the bathroom next door, the elevator coming and going, noisy student group, etc), but the point was that they can't just slap any old "silence" over a recording done in a certain room. They have to use the "silence" *from that room* or it will be jarring on a subliminal level to the people listening. Because silence has a sound, and it's a little different everywhere you hear it.
That's what water tastes like.
I have finished Dungeon Crawler Carl #3 and I immediately started up #4 but FIRST I HAVE HALF-FORMED THOUGHTS. For a book that starts out with so many parody vibes and is threaded throughout with bro-style humor, I'm constantly delighted by how much heart this series has. The bigger themes of the series are, "What would you do to survive? What's worth it to survive and how do you live with yourself?" and at what point do you start fighting back against oppression when your life is on the line, when do you stop playing by the rules of the system you can't leave and start doing things that might get you killed? It's woven through with messages about how vitally necessary community is, how helping other people because it's the right thing to do is import, and liberally splashed with "some of these characters are clearly in the middle of a mental breakdown that they can't acknowledge, but boy is it deliberately there". Carl is a fascinating character because he can be a reckless asshole a lot of time, he's clearly walking around with an absolute SHITLOAD of trauma even before the book starts and this is just giving him PTSD on steroids, and he's haunted by the things he's done (sometimes deliberately, sometimes on accident), but he's also asking himself the question of "what's the point of surviving if we don't help everyone we can?" It's a difficult book series to recommend in some ways, because a lot of the early stuff could well turn people off, because the language can be off-putting to a lot of people, and I'm not giving any shade about that. But I swear that underneath it there's a story about revolution and our capacity for resilience in situations designed to break us and the importance of caring about each other just because they're a person. And even what it means to be a "person" and that that can sometimes be a struggle in a situation designed where only one side can survive.

Thats just what theater kids are like
What I’ve always loved about this bit is
a. this musical number comes completely out of nowhere, with no greater context than what this video captures; and
b. the language instructor clearly can’t hear the music. He’s not from Musical Theatre Land. From his perspective, a couple of twinkle-toed weirdos just randomly decided to physically abuse him for three solid minutes. This isn’t reading anything that’s not intended into the scene – it’s literally the central gag.
@thebibliosphere in case you need some ridiculous Singin’ in the Rain on your dash.
(P.S. I imagined you making the faces at the instructor and it was hilarious)
I can but aspire to the level of expressiveness Cosmo Brown has with his face.
