pancakes are made of eggs omfg

[yourladyindank]

Y’all are crazy if you think a chicken won’t happily eat eggs. Y’all insane if you think a chicken won’t tear some nuggets UP. You are ON CRACK if you think a chicken won’t just, eat another injured chicken

[black-girl-against-feminism]

Me and some friends were collecting eggs on this farm. We dropped one of them and they went absolutely apeshit over that damn egg. Not even the shell was left.

[kayrowsyrup]

I know people think chickens are herbivores but they absolutely aren’t.

Chickens are omnivores. They eat meat, they eat eat all sorts of fruits and vegetables.

This isn’t really well known to people who live off of farms or who have never spent time on one. It’s also thanks to tv and movies not showing this side of chickens.

[jabberwockypie]

It’s why eggs and chicken meat saying they come from “free-range vegetarian chickens” are HILARIOUS, because if they’re free-range, you can’t control that, and the tiny dinosaurs ARE going to eat a lot of things. And if a mouse meets an early demise because it came near the tiny dinosaurs … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[systlin]

As a kid I once threw the neighbor’s chickens a chicken nugget just to see what would happen.

Answer; they fuckin demolished it. Tore it apart and wolfed it down in seconds. 

[space-lord-joe-kewl]

Rose tinted chicken glasses used to be a very common invention for chickens, because if they saw a speck of blood on another chicken they would gang up on it and murder it to death and feast on it.

Actual piranhas don’t act like Hollywood piranhas.

Chickens, however, do act like Hollywood piranhas. Those fuckers get a taste for blood and they become fucking ravenous fiends. They’re still very much dinosaur.

You’re not allowed to let your chickens eat eggs purely because if they discover that they can, you will never get another egg from them again. They WILL eat them before you can collect them.

[awesomeavocadolove]

Yeah I was going to mention this. Once they get the taste, they’ll eat their own eggs and the eggs of other hens if they can. At that point, you gotta cull them.

Holy shit, this is nearly 70 years old. This would have been right on the heels of color television being commercially available to the public.

Old Tricks, Interlude 4: The Gauntlet, Part 9, is now up!

Tracy was carrying a big duffle bag over her shoulder, and grinned when she saw Aster. “You made it!” “Just.” They’d come straight from Hallowharbour and there had been an issue on the tramline. Tracy opened her arms for a hug, and Aster was happy to oblige, holding on tight. Tracy patted them on the back and let go. “Now, I know with Candela there’s no guarantee of safety, just, don’t be stupid, alright?” “...can’t promise that.” “I know,” she chuckled. “Had to try.” Tracy checked her watch. “Well, need to start acting like a Major soon,” she shifted her spine, standing upright, back straight. “Best of luck to you.” “...same to you.” “Feel where I’m going is safer,” she gave a rue smile.

I explained the concept of "blorbo from my shows" to my 71 year old immigrant grandfather because I referenced it in passing and I thought nothing of it, until today when he said "I think I'll watch peaky blinders tonight and see my blorbo from my shows" referring, of course, to Cillian Murphy playing Tommy Shelby

[universeleads]

English isn't his first language so he's not super in touch with modern slang, so I've been accidentally teaching him to talk like a tumblr user. His favorite thing to say lately is "me when I'm a little hater" when he's like talking shit about the neighbor's son

[overwhelmedfernfrond]

I explained the “x before gta6” meme to my immigrant father and he, in turn, explained to me how back in his day in Romania, they had the same type of joke, except instead of it being gta6, it was about the imminent death of a singer named Gică Petrescu, who everyone was continuously shocked by because he refused to die. Every time a momentous event happened people would say, in essence: “This happened and Gică Petrescu hasn’t even died yet?!?”

So. He understood the gta6 meme immediately because they apparently had the same thing in Romania when he was young, except way, way more morbid

[sunday-sapphire]

This is very funny to me as a Romanian, because this expression is very much old fashioned, considering Gică Petrescu died in 2006 (it makes sense that the immigrant parent of a Tumblr user would be old enough to still use it.)

Interestingly, the phrase didn't stop being used with Petrescu's death, and instead people of both younger and older generations just replaced him with our former president Ion Iliescu, born in 1930, saying "And Iliescu still hasn't died??"

Last year, he too passed at the age of 95, so the saying may be replaced again, but I find it interesting to think there are Romanians out there in the world that haven't received the "update" of this phrase.

So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?

Tragedy? Delicious.

A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.

A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.

Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.

Second-hand embarrassment? Hang on, g, I gotta pause this for fifteen minutes, no, I cannot continue watching this right now, I am just not strong enough.

[musthavebeenthecombat]

I'm sorry.???

Okey

[luna-azzurra]

A non-writer asked me "but where do you get your ideas" and i genuinely did not know how to explain that it's not a place. it's not a website. it's not a folder. it's that i was on the bus and a woman was holding a paper bag very carefully and something about the way she held it made me need to know what was inside and then i needed to know why she was sad about it and then there was a whole person and then there was a whole story and the bus had already stopped and i missed my stop. that's where.

you guys realize ‘reblog bait’ is a trigger tag for psychosis that can be set off by posts that say things like ‘reblog this or your dog dies’ ‘reblog this or you’ll never be happy again’ ‘reblog this to win a million dollars’ and not for posts like ‘hey rb this and put in the tags x thing’ right

[vixendoe-archive]

okay since some people in the notes are confused, and to be fair I didn’t word this post very well, here’s some examples on how to tag things

reblog bait: reblog this and you’ll have good luck for 10 years

reblog game: reblog and put your favorite color in the tags

reblog bait: if you don’t reblog this, we can’t be mutuals

reblog game: reblog to give your mutuals a stuffed animal

reblog bait: you’re a terrible person if you don’t share this, I don’t care about your blogs aesthetic

reblog game: reblog and tell me if you’re right or left handed

basically, just think. is the post giving a threat, ultimatum or guilt trip? if so, it goes under reblog bait! a post saying to reblog but doesn’t have anything like the above would go under reblog game. hope this clears stuff up

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

also people with ocd! and probably a lot more tbh. it just hurts neurodivergent people for no reason

[mossfeathers]

see it's crazy how "shipping irl people is morally correct and awesome" and "don't tell the irl people about how you're shipping them or put that content in spaces they can easily find without proper tagging because that makes most people uncomfortable, actually" are two statements that coexist and need to coexist in the mcyt fanspace.

[mossfeathers]

make whatever you want forever. "boundaries" are imaginary, and content creators cannot dictate what you make because they are not expressly paying you for your time and content and skills. if this includes rpf, then that same exact logic applies. write about those real life people kissing.

however. it is also your duty as someone who is making content that makes people--including the subjects of said content--uncomfortable to tag it properly, and keep it out of spaces where the creators can see it. it's that simple. don't post about it on twitter (because filtering and tagging is worse there), use proper tagging when posting on tumblr, and don't say anything in the comments or chat of those creators. it doesn't need to be difficult, and everyone is happy.

[homunculus-argument]

You know you've fucked up when you go to a doctor and the thing you have wrong with you has been named after an occupation that isn't a thing anymore. Like imagine a doctor looking at you and going "yeah you've got ox-drawn ploughman's disease. We don't even test for that anymore. Yeah the reason you've never heard of it is because the last known case was in 1927 and happened to some guy who was like 98 years old and didn't believe in modern medicine of the time. What the fuck have you been up to."

[vidrig]

Here in Sweden we have a pretty active larping community and many of them have a historical setting. I remember a story of a really awesome WW2 larp where, unfortunately, one of the participants hadn't removed his boots for three days straight and it rained the whole time. His feet suffered so much that he had to be taken to the hospital, which was a sight to behold. See, this guy covered in mud and wearing authentic WW2 gear had managed to get an incredibly historically correct case of trench foot. From a trench.

When I got Gout and the doctor told me the diagnosis I laughed so hard the doctor then asked me if I was on any psych meds. I was just like “wait so I got Old Timey Rich Person Disease?”

Roughly paraphrasing his response: “well by your own admission you live on a diet of shellfish and wine, and you came into my office dressed like a vampire. Like. Yea man you gave yourself Gout. You want me to check you for Consumption while I’m at it? Go eat some vegetables, please.”

The most modern of medicine is no match for a Human who insists upon recreating the behaviors of their ancestors, it would seem.
