do you ever see a photograph of someone really attractive from like the 1800s and you suddenly get pissed because they’ve been dead for like 200 years and you probably don’t have a chance with them

[taelusive555]

I fucking hate languages.

The Greeks had this word, right, we have no idea where it came from, it just kinda popped up out of nowhere, and it could mean either apples, cheeks, or boobs. Problem is it looked and sounded *exactly* like another, unrelated word which could mean sheep, goat, or any animal in general really, which must have got confusing if you were a farmer talking about your livestock, but anyway…

Then the Romans, having stolen practically everything else from the Greeks, thought they’d nick this word too, because Latin isn’t confusing enough without throwing in a bunch of loan words. And they adopted it to mean a pumpkin.

Then the English came along and were all like “when in Rome”, and stole it, where it became our word ‘melon’. Which has now come back to mean boobs.

How do you like them apples.

[alivannarose]

I fucking love languages.

In case anyone doubts the veracity of this:

[curiooftheheart]

Calling boobs ‘melons’ literally transcends culture, time, and language.

[purified-zone]

because of lord of the rings all I can think of now is “speak ‘boob’ and enter”

England, and from what I hear, Europe, is undergoing a heatwave.

Temperatures in the UK are around 30°C. Where I am it’s gonna hit 32°C in the next couple of hours.

To you Americans, you Australians, that’s nothing. It’s a mild day, we’re weak, whatever, I’ve heard it all, the thing is, WE AREN’T EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH THIS.

The average temperature in the UK in July is 17°C. It is in the 30’s today. We simply are not used to it. We are used to rain and sleet and hail and wind, not heat. And our heat is a damp heat. A humid heat.

Because of all the sea around us we have an extremely humid climate if it gets warm. The air literally feels heavy right now. I am struggling to cool down because the humidity is fucking with my sweat, and as a trans man, the high amounts of water in the air, combined with my binder make it difficult to breathe, and I assume a lot of asthmatic people have a similar problem.

When temperatures in the UK are like this, people die. Don’t laugh about it. It is serious. It may not seem like much to you, it may not seem warm to you, but in a similar heatwave in 2013, 760 people died.

Our infrastructure is not built to cope with this. The house I live in, for instance, was built when the Thames still used to freeze over. It was built to be warm. The walls are thick, the windows are small, some rooms don’t even have windows that open, it was built with no though to air circulation, and this is one of the most common types of home in the UK. The UK government subsidises insulation. People fill every gap in their home with stuff that will keep the heat in. And nobody - literally nobody - has aircon. A lot of businesses don’t even have it. We have no use for it 99.9% of the time. Hell, I don’t even own a desk fan or even a hand held fan.

It is very different here to where you are. And we are used to and equipped for very different things. Instead of laughing, teach us how to stay cool. Instead of making jokes or quips, make info posts, and things that will help us.

Remember, this may be an average day to you, but to us it’s a heatwave. We cannot cope. And for some, particularly children and the elderly, it’s literally a matter of life and death.

[watchyourattitude]

Repeating this cause there’s another heatwave going on in Europe at the moment. This is reality for us.

[salvaog]

please…

[thestraggletag]

Wow, I wouldn’t bat an eye at humid 32°C weather (a mild summer day, by all accounts here) but I also live in a two-bedroom apartment with two ACs for a reason. Can’t imagine going at it without the usual creature comforts people who are used to heat (think 50°C on Christmas) have.

Stay hydrated, for the love of God. And bathe in sunblock. BATHE.

[salvaog]

At least in Valencia(Spain) people have fans, ceiling fans or even an …abanico, can’t remember the word, here? NOTHING

[thestraggletag]

God, I can’t picture it. Take extra care, please.

[allisquish]

Some other things to do!

Keep to basements if you can- warm air rises and cool air descends and all that. Idk if they keep even that insulated there.

If the temperature gets too much, ice baths can really help lower body temperature if and when you can. (I don’t mean running cool baths- I mean dumping some ice in your bath tub of water and sitting in it.) Keep in mind! Do not stay there for long periods of time, you can still get frost bite or whatever.

Key points for cooling down your body are: your wrists, back of your neck, stomach and chest, between your legs. Your hands and feet will get hot or cold quicker than anything else, but keeping them cool won’t cool you down- you gotta focus on your torso and such for a more dramatic effect.

Or even putting a bowl of ice around a fan can cool things down as well.

[prismatic-bell]

Wet your hair. WET. YOUR. HAIR. Leave it wet. If the dripping bothers you, dry it only enough that it’s not dripping. LEAVE IT WET.

Wear natural thin fabrics like cotton and linen; polyester is made of plastic and will not breathe. Light colors are better. Jump in the shower wearing them if you can. Wear them damp. (Yes, it’s okay to go underwear-less for this. Nobody likes damp panties all up their asscrack.)

Hang blankets over your windows. Wet them down. DON’T OPEN THE WINDOWS. Keep your shades drawn.

Cold wet towel on the back of your neck. Keep it cool. Put it in the freezer for 15 minutes before wearing. The first three minutes you’re going to want to die and then the next hour will be bliss. It will help cool your blood.

If you are lucky enough to own a fan, point it at the ceiling. Hot air rises, and this will circulate the air and more efficiently cool it.

Sleep under a damp sheet if you can deal with dampness on you.

Drink a lot of water. I live in the Sonoran Desert and where the standard American recommendation is a gallon of water per day, we are advised to drink 1.5 gallons. If you’re not peeing every few hours, you’re not drinking enough. Tea is okay. COFFEE AND SODA POP ARE NOT.

Make sure you have some salty snacks on hand. Sweating a lot and drinking a lot will fuck up your electrolytes, and you’ll want to replenish them. If you feel like you’re craving salt, you need it. Eat.

Juicy fruits and veggies like watermelon, peaches, and cucumbers are your friends. Eat them.

You probably won’t be very hungry during the day. That’s fine, but try to eat a sandwich or piece of fruit around lunchtime so your body doesn’t freak out and go into starvation mode. If you’re still doing afternoon tea, substitute fruit, finger sandwiches, or a similar small meal instead of cakes or muffins.

If you’re cooking dinner, do pan-fried instead of using your oven. If you don’t know how, look up some American recipes. We do a lot of seared and pan-fried here.

Love,

There is a design parallel between the Mario Bros. and the princesses traditionally paired up with them. The number of eyelashes on Princess Peach’s eyes - six - matches the number of curved segments in Mario’s mustache. Likewise, Princess Daisy has two eyelashes on each eye, which matches Luigi’s two-segment mustache. Whether this is a coincidence or a deliberate design choice is unknown.

everytime I hear about children of the corn I think about the guy I met at comic con who actually lived in the town they filmed that movie at, and on the farm where they filmed in the corn. he was a teenager at the time and him and his friends would get drunk on moonshine and rustle the corn and let the air out of the tires of the production team’s trailers and shit. and now there’s Wikipedia pages about how the children of the corn set was haunted and they thought they angered god but it was really just drunk hillbillies

[superiorhomo]

I don’t like adding to posts but I also have a funny story like this, so I was watching the movie the Blair witch which takes place in burkettsville maryland, which to me is so funny because that is were my grandfather lives and the town is literally just old people and cows with their main street consisting of a post office. Well anyway he told me that after it came out people were coming in like bus loads to the town to find the witch and my grandfather lives up in the Mountain area and people were up in his property trying to find the witch and it made him angry so he went out and hung up stick people and stacked rocks and it freaked the people out so they started thinking something was out there when really it was my 80 year old Italian grandpa who wanted people out of his woods.

[ginathethundergoddess]

We had ghost hunters come to a historic house in my town to film and if you think every high school kid in town respectfully stayed at home that night instead of going to fuck up that filming you’re dead wrong.

[animentality]

this is comforting, actually, sometimes paranormal things are just a bunch of bored people dicking around in the woods.
