danny's 'the most guy who can't leave well enough alone' ever

The Bats cannot figure out, for the life of them, where on earth this guy keeps popping out of.

and asking does not help

I like to imagine Bruce is the only one who hasn’t run into “This Guy” and is completely unaware of the betting pool his children have about Danny’s origins.

Oke so here’re the doodles

Based on a fic named ‘By the North Star’ by Chex_Nyx on AO3, it’s a sweet (with a major character death warning hell yeah) pirate fic with amazing plot (aaand smut on chapter 25 n 30 but it doesn’t involve any plot so ummm skip if it’s not for u)

I love the y/n in this fic more than anything thank you very much alright good night I’m gonna catch some sleep

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!

Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

oh to walk blindly into ruin and have someone who would follow, even with their eyes open, because they cannot bear to let go of your hand

Clean the mold out of your reusable water bottle including the cap and straw

Mold poisoning will kill you and has a high chance of causing severe hallucinations and nightmares while it's doing it. My final message goodbye

Oh, hey, yea that's a good reminder! Wait a second tho

A year or so ago I saw someone who studies bacteria on food surfaces talking about how she never ever uses a water bottle for longer than 2 days without washing it with hot water and soap or running it through the dishwasher and I've become really adamant about it ever since. Everyone has enough water bottles to keep them cycling through the dishwasher and in use.

Also please don't die.

Okay so here's what I do with my water bottles, y'all, bc your tags are concerning me.

First, these are the water bottles I use. Dishwasher safe, and kept water cold for an entire 8h drive. A little spendy but I bought 2 like... 3 years ago and I probably won't replace them for a really really long time bc they're metal.

I hate water bottles with straws, but my family uses some. It's easier to keep them clean if you use the spout style, but in either case:

Get a straw brush. They're very cheap. Brush out your straw with soap and then put it in the dishwasher with the rest, in the silverware bit so it's sitting up vertical and the water can get in it. The very hot dishwasher water plus you actually cleaning it out with a brush FIRST to loosen up anything sticking inside = best.

Check your bottle when it comes out of the dishwasher; every so often you may get a little schmutz in there from the fact that the bottles hip in a little at the top. It'll come out with a rinse.

Once a week or so, put a couple teaspoons of vinegar in a couple of cups of hot water, enough to submerge the lid fully. Take the ring out of the lid, submerge the lid, let it sit for 20m. Brush the lid out really good. Reassemble it and run it through the dishwasher - or wash it really well by hand. (Except for the dishwasher bit, this is also how to clean CPAP parts.) You can use rice, white, apple cider, the vinegar type doesn't really matter - you just want to make the water acidic so it helps kill the mold and anything else gross growing in there.

Reusable water bottles are wonderful. I love my metal bottles and I probably won't have to buy another bottle for the rest of my life. I might have to replace the top once or twice.

Please keep them clean and don't make yourselves sick.

when ur talking abt headcanons w/ ur friend and they start typing for a really long time

its always Wild to me when people make wei wuxian a chill 'do whatever you want here's some alcohol' adult when he is, canonically, the more "uptight" parent

like they're both definitely not overbearing or Strict parents and wei wuxian is still very much a Cool Fun Dad but lan wangjis parenting philosophy is "I grew up repressed and restricted and sheltered so I will make sure I do not give my child the same fate" while wei wuxians parenting philosophy is "I did whatever I wanted when I was younger and I DIED (died a yuan, Died)" which to me is Infinitely more entertaining than wei wuxian convincing his son to get drunk with him and lan wangji scolding them about it

we get little sneak peaks of this before he's even an adult.. HOW can you see wei wuxian be all "I'm not telling you how we're going to get your core back until you've finished your meal >:|" to jiang cheng and then think this man would be the one letting sizhui do whatever he wants

and this is not only funny because wei wuxians parenting style is so different from lan wangjis and the way he Himself acted as a teenager, we also must think about the fact that him and jiang cheng have almost the Exact same Parent Instincts and this terrifies them deeply. wei wuxian is a much more.... tender and traditionally affectionate and less,, shouty parent of course but oh the sheer comedic power of the fact that wei wuxians, "do you see that pit? no matter how old you become I will still plant you into that pit! understand?" and jiang chengs, "you think I can't grab you now? even when you're 30 years old, I will still grab you!" are, essentially, the same sentiment and I can Promise you that at least one (1) time both of them have shouted the exact same thing at their respective children at the exact same time and then turned to look at each other in utter horror

Dca Fans Making The Most Jaw Dropping, Magnificent, Gorgeous, And Awe Inspiring Fanart Based On 2 Fnaf Characters That Barely Had Any Screen Time:

Because of the fact that book Hiccup almost only spoke dragonese after being outcast, it would be so funny to me if he and movie Hiccup had, like a normal conversation for once (that implies that most of their conversations are the biggest shit that you have ever heard) and suddenly he goes like “Wait, what is the word for *retches and proceeds to screech at the top of his lungs*”. Movie Hiccup finds it hilarious, while Snotlout who was standing nearby is terrified for his life.

This shit was long overdue.
