Restaurants and bars really love to test your sobriety by making the route to their bathrooms as labyrinthine as possible

[filmnoirsbian]

Me: I'm not that drunk

Me trying to figure out where the Fuck they've hidden the restrooms in this bar: So this is how Odysseus felt huh

[filmnoirsbian]

Everyone tagging this post with their local bars/restaurants that have ridiculous bathroom layouts.....I see u. I am u. We are all Odysseus, and our Ithaca is a toilet covered in stickers.

[sydmarch]

ok I just HAVE to include this picture from inside the bathroom door of this one bar I went to

only one of these knobs work and it's not the one that's a different color from the rest

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

[evilscum-deactivated20160223]

his name is Ibn Khaldun

[imaanhammaam-deactivated2016031]

Also, it was not the apple falling from a tree that made Issac Newton “discover” gravity. He was reading the books of Ibn Al Haytham, an Arab Muslim from Iraq, who pioneered the scientific method, discovered gravity and wrote about the laws governing the movement of bodies (now known as Newtons three laws of motion) some 600 years before Newton existed. Without him, modern science as we know it wouldn’t exist. Read on him. His achievements are far greater than what I’ve just mentioned here.

#no offense but arabs literally invented chemistry and algebra and we came up with the concept of the camera #the cataract operation that’s still practiced today was invented by an Arab #we created alchemy and the wright brothers used abbas ibn firnas’ findings and writings to build on to create a plane #I could go on and on and on #pls don’t erase our scientific history

[guluna]

I reblog this post every time I see it

[kyraneko]

We fucking replaced a Muslim scientist with an apple?

[deliriumcrow]

In the middle ages, THE place to go for an education was the middle East, or, failing that, Spain. The Muslim world didn’t have the same limits placed on scientific inquiry that the Christian world did, and since they were willing to look at more than just Aristotole and actually compare texts to the observable world, they had some incredible scientific and mathematical advancements. And street lights and toilets. I mean theories and algebra are great and all, but street lights and toilets. In the 12th century. Also medical advancements, and fewer rules against women studying. Hell, women *should* be the ones studying the female body, would you rather a woman see your female relatives, or some old man? Would you rather have someone who lives in the same kind of body, or one who has no first hand idea what the parts can do?

[mdmshakespeare]

Europeans erased centuries of knowledge from the East because of fear. When we “rediscovered” it, we were still too egotistical to admit that non-whites could have been smarter, so we invented our own mythology.

Bring credit back where it’s due. Honor the true pioneers.

Also the world’s oldest continuous existing university was established by a woman, Fatima al-Fihri, in 859 AD (244/5 AH) in Fez, Morocco.

[tricycle-jaune]

There is also a man called Jâbir Ibn Hâyan (or also called Geber) who has written books and taught on material transformation processes (distillation, combustion, fixation etc …) which later led to what Westerners more commonly called alchemy (from the Greek word “kimiya” and the Arabic prefix “al”, it can also be found in “algebra” or “algorithm”)

like if you make a cashier cry you’re evil! sorry! you don’t get a free pass! you don’t get to stand there and see someone visibly stressed and already doing everything they can to help people and move things along as swiftly as possible and act like a toddler and insult them bc you aren’t getting your way in the snap of your fingers! they’re trying their damnedest! they don’t want to be there but they’ve gotta and that involves dealing w/ ppl and when it comes to that kind of behavior! you’re ugly!

[greelin]

no buts! you’re just evil! sorry if that hurts your feelings but you don’t seem to care about doing that to others so! sucks huh

They wrote only ever about first love. First love was every novel, every movie, every artist rendition. First love was a fire, the stars, the universe; an expansion you never recover from, an ache that never dies.

But what of us who did not love the right person that first precious time.

What about us who carry that break like a knife fight, who learned from the falling, who put up better defenses. The excuses we make for not trying again litter our beds. The habits to hide our softness.

God, I want to be tender like a wound but I already healed over. Instead I know not to touch the stove because I’ve seen what happens.

Oh I close my eyes. My new love is not a bullet or a bike chain.

My new love is soft. It’s teaching a drought the goodness of rain.

I can’t believe some of things u people make me read with my own two eyes

Gender roles in a nutshell: the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang entrances in The Goblet of Fire.

[meloromantics]

also, to my knowledge neither of those schools were sex-segregated in the books

[seaniepop]

That bothered me more than the Dumbledore yelling, actually.

[forgiveninasong]

Nicolas Flamel was an alum of Beauxbatons.

The first headteacher of Durmstrang was a witch.

[hecallsmepineappleprincess]

Bam.

[roseforthethorns]

In the books, it even says that there were boys and girls from each school. Thanks Hollywood for making Durmstrang buff and all athletic men and Beauxbatons all feminine and dainty.

[zirijava]

Just imagine what it would have meant for every kid watching, seeing girls walking beside the guys in Durmstrang being “manly” and boys walking with Beuxbaton being flirty and feminine.

It would have shown that girls and boys can be however they want.

[drarrysgirl]

It also suggested that the only way a female could have be selected to participate was if she was not up against any male competition. In the books Fleur is chosen as the best candidate for her school from a selection of female AND male students. And she was the best PERSON. Not the best GIRL.

[imaginedus-deactivated20180401]

all men are Russian and all Women are French.

[novaya-model]

That feeling when your body is requesting something but you're not sure what so you just start eating and drinking random stuff to try and figure it out

[sandersstudies]

Me, eating a chocolate waffle at 7pm: Is this what you desire, oh prison of flesh?

[cartooncoyote]

A sword that screams whenever you swing it, and the volume is directly tied with how fast its swung

Finally, a good post
