noodle lost a front leg above the elbow when she was a kitten and its really cool to see the ways in which she's adapted; how she uses her stump to dig in the litterbox, or knows to keep it close to her body when she's stalking a toy so it wont hit the ground and make noise, or how her tail curves into a letter C because her center of balance is different. but most importantly, the fact that when she hunts her eyes favor her leg side, so they focus like this:
Owo
how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”
u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”
conservatives hate children this is well established
Where's that post about a conservative politician who told his daughter the price of a bike, watched her save up for months, and then didn't tell her about the sales tax so he could deprive her of her bike at the last moment to teach her a "lesson" about how taxation is evil?
Cause I'm pretty sure that's exactly how they talk to children.
i created more ridiculous utdr drawings (of varying quality) over random images i found on pinterest.
also mad mew mew is an ankle biter, you can't change my mind. shes feral and i love her dearly.
attached the original images this time if anyone wants them
"connect your contacts so you can find people you know in our app" what if i flayed myself in front of you
I remember someone saying "mad scientists in fiction aren't scientists because there's never a control group"
I think if you've created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir
I see his robot as an absolute win
OK - a very tangential takeoff: Engineering prof assigns students this question: Explain how to determine the height of a very tall building using a barometer.
Obviously meant to use change in barometric pressure with altitude. But one student submitted the following:
There are several ways of doing this
1. On a sunny day, stand the barometer up in the sun, measure the length of its shadow relative to its height, then measure the length of the building’s shadow and calculate its height from that.
2. Go into the stairwell and climb the stairs to the top, marking off the length of the barometer on the wall, giving you the height of the building in “barometer units”.
3. Go onto the roof of the building and drop the barometer off the top and time how long it takes to hit the ground, then calculate the height using the well known formula of 32 ft./sec./sec.
4. Go into the office of the building superintendent and say “If you tell me how tall this building is, I will give you this nice barometer”.
Newton….
This is basically any DnD party solving puzzles but with more success.
