A lot of things we love in cats, like the way they interact with toys or how confused they look when a treat lands too close or past them, steem from the fact that they can't see very well from up close.

I am VERY myopic and astigmatic. On top of that I am quite sensitive to the light. I guess what I mean is, whenever I am fucking around trying to find stuff without my glasses on and squinting to avoid getting a migraine from photosensitivity, I hope that someone finds me as adorable as a kitten.

🤡 crack theory: this is out of kuroverse but hear me: undertaker was an earthbender in his previous human life who used seismic sense He got reincarnated into the kuroverse as a human,we then know that he's a reaper, he realized that he could sense vibrations from the earth and percieve the world without his glasses!That's when he started using this ability from his bender life

🤡 for a crack theory

This is more like a 🤔, but okay. Definitely crack! Who knows what other universes interact with the Kuroverse... or what might technically exist in the Kuroverse, but we just never get to see or hear about it?

But, if your idea were the explanation, then how was Sebastian able to get around Undertaker and within the reach of his death scythe? Wouldn’t that cause vibrations for Undertaker to detect? It’s not like Sebastian was specifically trying to avoid causing such vibrations.

If you want a crack theory of mine on the subject... how about: it’s purely intuition, training/experience, and best guesses? That would explain how Sebastian managed to confuse him for a brief moment. Undertaker gets confused only when the demon thinks of something completely unexpected. Since Undertaker was also a trained reaper (and the epitome of one, to boot), he would have been skilled in the ways that reapers are generally taught to fight. He’s also got some ideas of how to fight against a lawnmower and a chainsaw.

He has to be able to quickly assess environments that are new to him, even though we know he’s clearly very nearsighted.

Yeah, my (crack?) theory is that he’s just that experienced, skilled, and intuitive.

Let’s talk about the Lorax

Everybody knows the once-ler needed truffula trees to make his thneeds right? Well, what was stopping him and his workers from just trimming the trees instead of cutting them down? That way he’d have an endless supply of raw materials. And if he needed the wood fibers to make the thneeds, and therefore cutting down the trees was necessary, he could have easily planted new ones so that he’d still have that endless supply! But no, he was too shortsighted to realize that he might run out of trees, what an idiot.

the Lorax has two morals

1: give a shit about the trees.

2: don’t be a shortsighted idiot.

Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don’t see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become. But if you’re surrounded by people who say ‘I want mine now,’ you end up with a few people with everything and a military to keep the poor ones from rising up and stealing it.

Frighteningly true

“Letting Ukraine fall because of [Republicans’] cultish loyalty to Trump will be a betrayal that will stain America forever—and probably end up pulling us into a fight for Europe later. This is one of the rare moments when the path to disaster is clearly marked and avoidable.”

– Tom Nichols, in the Atlantic
