we should be eating jellyfish regularly I'm not even joking

  • jellyfish are over-abundant / invasive species in many ecosystems thanks to human activity, and they undergo "blooms" in which their numbers can drown out other species
  • these blooms are so disruptive they've been known to clog hydroelectric dams and cause massive blackouts
  • jellyfish fishing is insanely easy, cost effective, and does not disturb marine substrate/reefs like other types of fishing
  • you can literally dip a net into the water and scoop them up. a child can do this.
  • the limiting factor for jellyfish consumption right now is that westerners just don't eat them
  • jellyfish are very high in protein, and half of this is in the form of collagen (great for your joints, skin, muscles, and hair) plus low in carbs and fat
  • they are flavorless and have a crisp crunch to them, and will absorb the flavor of whatever they're marinated in. you can prepare them to taste however you want!!

for people who are sensitive to texture, jellyfish can be altered quite a bit. it can be thinly sliced, turned into noodles, made into soup, dehydrated, powdered and added to food, or even made into an ice cream-like dessert.

don't just go out and eat any jellyfish you find, though, because some are toxic.

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.

Squares and rectangles: easy to weave!! No cutting means no hemming.

And easy to construct, you don’t have to have complicated seaming and patterning to turn fabric into clothing!

Has anyone already reblogged this with saris? It’s cool how many cultures have similarities like this hidden in plain sight.

Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

Btw pro tip from someone who is far too paranoid for his own good but also loves horror content like a fucking idiot: imagine whatever is scaring you atm trying to sell you weed. This always helps.

I hope the person who wrote this tag knows this was the first thing I saw this morning when I woke up and I actually almost started crying

Okay so @q2qcomics and I are currently apartment hunting for the fall and I just stumbled upon the weirdest apartment ever. 

Like at first, wow this looks nice:

How can it be only $650/mo?? Something’s gotta be wrong with it.

… And then you find the floorplan:

Like… WTF is this place? And you realize it’s on bottom of three “apartment units” (Clearly this was meant to be one big place). 

This is your enterance:

Have fun living in the maintenance hallway under the rich folks. 

It comes with such stunning features as:

Creepy ass long murder hallways.

A room with many doors (all closets).

A bathroom that’s clearly just meant for storage.

And whatever this thing is in your kitchen.

I hope you like wine, A LOT.

this. this is a video game apartment. be wary of lurking assassins. any stray chests probably contain loose gold or weapons

honestly I’d totally live in this amateur counter strike mapper’s first map

I don’t give a shit that the bathroom is in another timezone its cheaper than anything around here

This is literally the first level of Hitman 2

This is from the book "What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic" by Annie Kotowicz! (x)

[ID: A paper book with section title: "Power Move". It wasn't until my thirties that I learned some people correct factual errors as a power move. That explains why teachers rarely appreciated it when I pointed out their mistakes - they saw it as an attempt to usurp their authority. I also got similar reactions from classmates, colleagues, and others whose authority was equal to mine, because they assumed I was flexing on them.

Nothing could be further than the truth. For me, showing someone where they're wrong feels like keeping them safe from the consequences of their mistake. It's a collaborative pursuit of truth, not a power move. End ID]

It’s a Tree. There was a tree there. Folks cut down a tree, they usually don’t pull the roots, it’s like a Whalefall for fungus and burrowing invertebrates. They feast for decades.

It’s tree roots. I know that’s not cool and adventurous but I promise you it’s tree roots.

No, that's where they dumped the body of my good friend, Mr. Five by Five. We called him that because he was five feet tall and five feet wide. Perfectly spherical.

DONT USE THE PIRATE BAY PLEASEEEE I BEG YOU.

Use 1337x.to rarbg or rutracker, highly moderated public torrent trackers, because Pirate Bay has long been shut down, unmoderated, and cloned by some shady actors AND use Mullvad VPN (or any other vpn but mullvad is the best definitely) to protect your ip address while you torrent, bind it to qbittorrent and do not use utorrent anymore either because it is littered with adware.

OR if you don’t want to pay for a VPN, use direct download or streaming sites. Please y’all just take one pass through on the r/piracy or r/freemediaheckyeah mega threads to find whatever you want for free and also not infect your computer with Trojan viruses.
