It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic

[topographicocean]

Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner. A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.

[demilypyro]

There’s no grooves on a CD tho???

[rave-lord-nito]

They’re just really tiny, hence the laser. The smaller grooves means that more info can fit on a disc of the same size.

[demilypyro]

Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

well they looked at a record and said “How do we fit more information on this?” to which the reply is “Well either you make the record bigger or the grooves smaller” and making the grooves smaller is way more convenient so they say “Well how do we make the grooves smaller?” and that’s when a total madman comes out with eyes flashing and yells “WITH A LASER!”

And that’s how the CD was invented

[firelxdykatara]

how did they figure out how to fit information in grooves in a piece of vinyl in the first place????

[katebushh]

probably got some ideas outta this

[salmon404]

Fucking mad lads

fred and george weasley on the top floor in hogwarts trying to get slinkies all the way down by predicting the pattern the stairs are gonna shift in

[dajo42]

they actually figure it out, they calculate the exact pattern, and start distributing it

suddenly, students are barely ever late to classes any more and there are significantly fewer incidents of getting lost around the castle

everything goes wonderfully for a week, all the professors are baffled but pleased

until the end of the week when the true purpose for the pattern’s distribution becomes clear. schoolwide slinky race. a thousand conjured slinkies all let loose at the same time. the rustling of the swarm of springs echoes through the halls of hogwarts. the house elves refer to the dreaded Slinky Sunday for centuries

Mongolians are cool because they’ve merged their traditional and modern ways of life so rather than having poverty due to losing all their important skills they just live in their yurts with their cows and 827474874mbs internet

[nutsacktorturer]

sure their GDP in dollars is low but when you can survive like your anscestors did it doesn’t mean anything, nothing wrong with adding a motorcycle and wifi into the mix

[hieronymus-botch]

Everyone should live like their ancestors did 1000 years ago but with the addition of wifi tbh

[the-everything-man]

Adapt. Survive.

[queerqueerspawn]

This is bullshit, they’re both clearly gay

[pinccpeach]

Casual rubbing and caressing while cuddling/napping is so good. Like yes I know I’m about to pass out while laying on your chest but feel free to grab my butt.

[ammit420]

in order to lead a happy life im gonna have to disappoint my parents a bit

[microweave]

not to be dramatic but this post genuinely made me consider my priorities in life and the choices i need to make for my own wellbeing

[memecucker]

sometimes i think about that one Los Angeles fire captain that turned out to be an incredibly prolific serial arsonist with one of the things that ended up giving him away being that he wrote a novel about a firefighter that becomes an arsonist and used the pen-name “Aaron Stiles” which turns out to be an anagram for “I set LA arson” 

[yeahiwasintheshit]

[flagellant]

hey yeah no this guy is actually a Big Deal in California at least in my town he set fires across central and southern california for over a DECADE before being caught. The FBI estimates he set over two thousand fires before being caught. After his arrest, wildfires in the surrounding area dropped ninety percent

[musashi]

Theres a My Favorite Murder episode on this dude, please listen to it because it’s the most buck wild shit I’ve ever heard

[fuckrealityihaveablog]

I want a story about an Italian vampire.

No romance, no action.

Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”

[absinthenoir-deactivated2019090]

TBH I think the main issue would be the mirror thing

have you ever met an Italian man

the amount of time they spend looking in the mirror jfc

[wunderlass]

#the more you think about it the more all vampire rules are just anti-italian rules#can’t go out in sunlight?? IN ITALY???#Can’t go near crucifixes? IN ITALY???

[princezane-deactivated20151205]

a bunch of pissed off vampires stuck in Venice because they can’t go over moving water

[theresoneofyou]

Not to victim blame, but you’d have to be a pretty bad Italian to even get turned into a vampire in the first place.

[hey-there-nutlet-deactivated201]

the only two places practically immune to vampires are texas and italy

[darkestelemental616]

Let me tell you of A Thing.

Lithuania has no vampires, I guarantee it.

[stephendann]

Lithuania has one vampire, and let me tell you, she’s gonna be FURY UNLEASHED once someone gets her out of the centre of that crossterfuck of a burial point.

[princesshamlet-deactivated20210]

[stalactites]

mumble’s story is an inherently gay narrative

[stalactites]

this is MOST DEFINITELY about the penguin

[stalactites]

me: there’s gay subtext in happy feet

christians: you bet your ass there is!!

[stalactites]

I MEAN HELLO???

[ptsdgf]

*kracks knuckles* alright, so. This is a perfectly valid headcanon.

However, it’s important not to erase the narrative. This is a story about ableism. Mumbles is the only penguin who can’t sing, and his father thinks that’s because he dropped his egg, which is said to be enough to kill a child.

Mumbles is canonically disabled in both a social and physical way, his coat not changing much from childhood and him being unable to interact with other penguins in a way that’s seen as integral to being a part of the society. He is shown to be almost incapable of containing his feet when he’s happy, pointing towards evidence that dancing is one of his stims.

This is very likely a narrative about autism, though it definitely overlaps with the gay experience.

[cassie-darlin]

Mumbles is autistic and gay and nothing you can say will change my mind.
