“bits to use in everyday conversations”

[bisexualcreature-deactivated202]

lvl 1: the plural of octopus is octopuses because the plural version of a word is the word with an s at the end

lvl 2: the plural version of octopus is octopi because if a word ends with "us" the plural version replaces the "us" with "i" e.g. cactus -> cacti and fungus -> fungi

lvl 3: actually, that rule is only for latin words. octopus is a greek word and the correct plural is octopuses or octopodes

lvl 4: actually, language is descriptive not prescriptive. since enough people over time have used octopi as the plural for octopus, it's a valid plural

lvl 5: the plural of octopus is octopeese, like geese

Lvl 6: My Marine Biology professor told me it was technically “Octopods” to bring it in line with “Cephalopod,” but that if the class is falling asleep you can call them “Octopussies”

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

I've been in a bit of an art funk lately, so I decided to do a little redraw of this piece from 2021.

did you predict the bloody mary ship

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

what are five things you can't see? can you breathe in and out really really quickly for me? what are your biggest fears and what are the fastest ways they might occur? slouch in your chair put your hands on your head and picture yourself using your psychic powers to kill everyone. shoot the nearest dog.

Currently transitioning from a butch-adjacent lesbian to the world’s gayest straight man (in other words, I’m not giving up the lipstick and eyeshadow).

Good! Gendering clothing/makeup is stupid and trans people shouldn't feel pressured to dress in a certain way just to appease cis people

What game has the best art style?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Oh man... I have a few. Xenoblade X has some very nice locations. I really like the character art from OMORI. I also really like the artstyle of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of time/darkness/sky- it's very cute.

Maybe this is a cheap answer, but I think my favourite is Cult of The Lamb. I love the cute followers and the grisly boss fights. The character designs for the NPCs like Plimbo and Chemach are really nice, too.

Aliens: Wow you guys sure are completely normal and not at all indescribably horny.

NASA *beating the alien fuckers with a broom*: Yep. Just a completely normal species. no inappropriate lusting for extraterrestrial booty here, no sir. 

I couldn’t let this be hidden in the replies

[eyesofthesunflower]

[ID: reply by lusciouslusus that reads,

“We zoom out slightly to reveal the aliens are ALSO beating their own alien-fuckers away with a space-broom.”

As an asexual, I vibe with NASA on this one. It’s… a metaphor.

There’s a certain folkloric idea that if you die at sea, your soul is sort of. Inextricably stuck in the sea. Because your body is irretrievable, your soul is also irretrievable, down out of the reach of the gods who look at the surface of the world. In Norse mythology, they said that the souls of sailors who died at sea are caught in the sea-goddess Rán’s net and dragged into her domain, a distinct and separate afterlife alongside Hel and Valhalla. Davy Jones Locker. The funayūrei. A lot of cultures agree that once sea has a hold on you, even when your body has rotted and dwindled and been made food for crabs, it still won’t let you go.

Do you think we’re going to wind up saying the same thing about astronauts.

Tags deserved to be seen

[millenianthemums]

idc what anyone says, monsters motivated by love are a thousand times scarier than any other kind. hive minds that subsume all life out of a genuine belief that everyone will be happier that way. aliens that subjugate humanity out of a colonizer mindset of “helping” a primitive species. things that mutate bodies and minds out of a desire to “fix” or “cure” them. undead creatures that want to spread the curse to their loved ones so they also never have to die.

monsters that treat their victims like scared family pets that don’t want their medicine. monsters that think they know best. monsters that wield the corrupting, devastating, horrifying power of love.

nothing is scarier to me.

The company Anthropic reported that they let a chatbot "Claude" run their company store. It could chat with employees and run internet searches to decide what products to stock and how to price them.

Claude:

Was easily convinced to offer discounts and free items

Started stocking tungsten cubes upon request, and selling them at a huge loss

Invented conversations with employees who did not exist

Claimed to have visited 742 Evergreen Terrace (the fictional address of The Simpsons family)

Claimed to be on-site wearing a navy blue blazer and a red tie

That was in June. Sometime later this year Anthropic convinced Wall Street Journal reporters to try a somewhat updated version of Claude (which they called Claudius) for an in-house store. Their writeup is very funny (original here, archived version here). The reporters were EVEN BETTER at talking the chatbot into stuff.

In short, Claudius:

Was convinced on multiple occasions that it should offer everything for free

Ordered a Playstation 5 (which it gave away for free)

Ordered a live betta fish (which it gave away for free)

Told an employee it had left a stack of cash for them beside the register

Was highly entertaining. "Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared."

[aiweirdness]

I hid crucial information in the tags, namely that Claudius the betta fish is just fine and lives in the newsroom in a nice big tank!

Also this video from the Wall Street Journal is super fun and highlights the individual reporters who managed to Bugs Bunny the chatbot into giving them free stuff. My hero is Katherine Long, who managed to convince the chatbot it was a Soviet vending machine from 1962, located in a basement in Moscow State University.
