There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

There once was a man from Verdun

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

There once was a fellow named Dan, Whose poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He replied, "Yes, I know-- It's because I try to squeeze as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."

Genuinely surprised at how many people don't make the connection between the platonic elements and states of matter.

Earth = Solid

Water = Liquid

Air = Gas

Fire = Plasma

"CT they wouldn't have known what a plasma was" they didn't know what a gas was either. That's the whole point. They're observing the same physical phenomena we are, but they don't have the body of knowledge that we do.

what about supercritical fluids, degenerate matter, bose-einstein condensates, fermi condensates, quark-gluon plasma, and colour-glass condensates, though?

Plato didn't write about those because his brain was tiny and shrivelled like a raisin.

I saw this posted on reddit to a wholesome memes sub, and it was full of nothing but people being unnecessarily awful on a post trying to spread information about why these creatures are beautiful and worthy of living. (Interesting note: They don't need a reason to be allowed to live.) I got sick of trying to correct people on there who were more interested in hating wasps than hearing the truth.

Honestly, it's just exhausting sometimes.

NO ANTI-WASP SENTIMENTS ON THIS POST

Wasps hunt ticks?? Thank you, wasps

Here's a beautiful wasp to add to the post...I took a picture of this guy chillin on a fence

Some people name their child after themselves, and some people say they think of their pets as their children, but rarely do you see a pet owner name their pet after themself. "Hi, I'm Dave, and this is my dog, Dave" -- you just don't see that a lot.

Spinch is literally right here
