If you can't wash it off, paint over it, replace the item, or buff it out, turn a message of hate into one of love! I would never condone someone to do this discreetly and in mere seconds with a quickly concealed permanent marker, for example on a public bench or bus stop. Certainly not anything like whipping out a tat machine and adding to an unconscious white supremacist's existing tattoo. That would be illegal! :) And, dear followers, I would never encourage you to do something that's illegal. So, please only use this when someone has defaced your personal property to avoid breaking the law! Because that would be illegal, and following in the law is always in everyone's best interest. :) .... :) reblogs and even reposts definitely welcome
i think it’s p awesome that the first compasses invented in china were not magnetic, but in fact mechanical - the cart with the little wooden man pointing south was built in a way that no matter which way the cart turned, the little man would always point south
this is a model of what it looked like
how does this work? it’s so cool and confusing
the gears are aligned in a way to always turn the little man in the opposite direction as the cart at the same rate of rotation. so if the man points at you, and you turn the cart clockwise 90 degrees, the man will be turned counterclockwise 90 degrees, and still be facing you. if you turn the cart counterclockwise 90 degrees, the man will be turned clockwise 90 degrees, and still be facing you
as for how they got the cart to point south to begin with, that goes into fengshui and cardinal direction geomancy. but long story short, the workshops that built these carts would have their front doors facing south to begin with (using the sun and the stars to figure out which way is south), so all they would have to do is build the cart facing that direction, and the little man will always point south
thank you!
We all start with a heart. Then capitalism turns that heart black and grinds you into dust.
just remembered shows used to have 20-25 eps per season
Every few months twitterinas bring back the “carnivores are a problematic element of nature and we should feed them synthetic meat and make it so they don’t eat herbivores. this is completely normal, feasible and won’t have any kind of repercussion on the ecosystem” discourse
First time I saw that was a guy who had as proposition to create fake prey animals with a robotic exoskeleton and covered in synthetic meat that predators would hunt, eat and then the exoskeleton would get up and go to the lab to get re meated. That was funny as hell
Tiger watching skinless carcass it just ate get up and walk away
Actually we should totally do this but not for like ideological veganism reasons just cuz itd be funny as like an animal social experiment.
doing this with real meat so there's not even a hypothetical animal rights angle, just completely unwarranted and unmitigated freak behavior
how did they learn to translate languages into other languages how did they know which words meant what HOW DID TH

Fun fact: There are a lot of rivers in the UK named “avon” because the Romans arrived and asked the Celts what the rivers were called. The Celts answered “avon.”
“Avon” is just the Celtic word for river.
Fan Fact #2: When Spanish conquistadors landed in the Yucatán peninsula, they asked the natives what their land was called and they responded “Yucatán”. In 2015, it was discovered that in those mesoamerican languages, “Yucatán” meant “I don’t understand what you are saying”

It’s actually so much worse
credit to the simpsons for doing their research that mr burns is so old he grew up with that as the way to answer a phone
"live action disney movies suck because the animals are all expressionless"
I agree with you, however, issue is cats, felines, lions, etc are EXTREMELY expressionable and could absolutely make most of the expressions in the lion king if the animators were paid enough and the art directors cared whatsoever about making good films.
They chose to make them all blank faced despite real lions actually making faces and having body language. Live action disney movies suck because disney doesn't care, not because animals aren't interesting or capable of expression.
"what about flounder? fish are naturally dead eyed"
listen if they can bend the rules enough to give him 'hair' they can at least take some inspiration from other species of fish and their faces. It is not a real actual fish, it's a 3D model, you can bend the face a lil it's okay, it would make it way more interesting in fact
We gotta pour cement over their bunkers doors and ventilation system....once they are in.
Raiding their vaults sounds like such fun though
I mean I'm down. But I'm pragmatic. Let them die of asphyxiation first and than we can reopen and go raid.
As if they’ll
Make it to their planes and boats.
The thing about this is if society collapsed and they made it into their bunker like they plan after a week the private security guards will realize the money they are being paid with is useless and there really is no reason to follow the orders of some spoiled asshole who is eating up all the best food in the bunker.
Even if they did manage to do it, it still doesn’t change the fact that they’re still going to wind up dying just slower.
Why pour concrete over it... when you could drop in a cluster of stink bombs into the ventilation system THEN pour concrete over it.
Quite frankly I was starting to think about mustard gas instead
I can understand the impulse... but that would work to fast.
Let them slowly suffocate while breathing in fart stink like they're forcing the rest of us to do.
Why not spike the fart gas with a little mustard gas? And a little helium?
And maybe some mind-altering substance? Just to REALLY enhance the horror they're going through during their demise.
Lol like that one vault with the blue smoke
and here i was going to propose that their door could do with a nice coat of cement, two or three coats just to keep it clean and fresh
I am told this meme is two years old and Smaug has since slipped down to #19.
sometimes i forget most people don't know that birdhouse shapes aren't just for shits and giggles and that birds actively prefer and even need specific shapes to nest in
So which ones need the Frank Lloyd Wright ass houses?
the ones that make 240,000$ a year by making other birds work in their warehouse for 5 sunflower seeds an hour

Something that I think should be an important part of solarpunk aesthetics is screws.
Look at your smartphone. No screws. You've got to have specialized tools to get inside your phone to repair something. There are certain pieces of tech that are glued in place and glue can't be undone without permanently breaking the bond.
But screws!
You can take apart a broken old radio, repair what's broken, and, if you were careful in taking it apart, you can put it back together and have a fully functioning radio and all you need is a common screwdriver!
It's hard to build screws and other mechanical fasteners because it requires more planning than clamps and glues, but isn't that what solarpunk is all about‽ It's about care and sustainability and and a radio or a computer built carefully with repair in mind is a sustainable computer that stays out of landfills and in use.
Screws are proof that God loves us and wants us to fix shit
screws, bolts, pins, rivets- literally all elements of society should be fixable with a workbench, a few pliers wrenches and screwdrivers, and access to the assorted non-proprietary doodad aisle of a hardware store
