as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
sorry. only semi-related but i simply wasn't ready for "the sun is a distant gorilla". thank you NASA
there are so many hidden relationships between people.. ur grandpa killed mine in a war some 800 years ago but also we were neighbors in the 1700s who traded eggs and milk. wwhat does that make us
in high school I found out a guy in my english class had an ancestor who was on the opposite side of the samurai rebellion in which my great great grandfather was meant to be executed (for losing) but he ran away and hid for the rest of his life and the guy was like “….damn. good for him. now we’re both here to write bad essays on pride and prejudice.”
jake: im really lonely i wish i had like a friend i could hang out with and get in friendly tussles with you know
dirk: oh i got you bro. heres a robot that will silently stalk you in the wilderness and attempt to kill you on sight
jake: i dont want this

Me: minding my own damn business in the grocery store
One of my students and a few of his teammates enter the dairy aisle.
My student is holding hands with one of his teammates.
My student: Oh hey, Professor X!
Me, who has both my student and his girlfriend in my class: …Hello
My student, looking at his hand-holding partner: Oh! Don’t worry. My girlfriend knows. Not that I’m cheating! I’m not cheating. I’m not gay.
Hand Holding boy: Not that being gay is a bad thing! It’s a good thing!
My student: Right! But no, listen. We aren’t together, we just hold hands in public sometimes.
Hand Holding Boy: Especially on Friday nights. And weekends. And at away games.
My student: Because sometimes people will say shit and then we can punch them! And if the fight started because someone was being homophobic, coach won’t get mad at us.
Hand Holding Boy: Always nice to punch a homophobe. And [gesturing to another boy in the group] maybe they’ll think twice about saying something to [other boy’s name] if he ever gets a boyfriend and wants to hold his hand for real. The Gay One, resigned but smiling: I’ve decided it’s sweet and not really fucking weird.
This is what “boys will be boys” is meant to be
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while.
"Why don't people recognize Link in TOTK" bc everyone imagines the legendary swordsman to be built like Ganondorf and Link doesn't bother correcting anyone bc being hailed as a hero is like on the bottom of his priorities, which are topped by things like "Bake one of every pie"
Rando farmer: They say that once the noble hero of legend passed by this very village! Isn't that wonderful to imagine, genderfluid stranger?
Link, 5'6" with 2" heels and wearing a backless dress suspiciously stained with blood: no yeah that's wild
"Wouldn't they recognize him bc he's with Zelda" Everyone interacting with Zelda was like "Wow, the princess!! The princess who saved Hyrule is here, talking to us! Plus some guy with three sets of pronouns who's building a bomb but more importantly The Princess!! Wow!!"
Zelda keeps coming across spare genders she doesn't need and Link follows behind scooping them all up off the ground like a starving trash possum
Someone uses an unfamiliar pronoun around Zelda, and she hears the item pickup sound come from Link
Every time this comes across my dash it’s gotten better.
THIS
this is the teaser image and actual title of an upcoming horror movie, by a director who thinks cgi is overused and too fake looking already so it’s probably going to be pretty funny
This went from “funny meta joke” to actually top tier monster concept the moment I just learned that the gator is canonically made of bad cgi in-universe. It is created when laptops get dumped in the swamp. The characters will recognize that it is a CGI entity and it will presumably have powers and abilities in accordance with that.
I got an extension called DeArrow that replaces Youtube thumbnails/titles with crowdsourced ones to make them less clickbaity and obnoxious. If there isn't one available I set it to just grab a random frame and remove ALL CAPS!!!.
Here's some comparisons (Original on the left, DeArrow on the right):
Night and fucking day on Linus Tech Tips....
might add this to my roster of youtube mods along with the "remove ytshorts from my existance" one
there is also the inverse, an extension called mrbeastify that adds youtuber mr beast to all the thumbnails
"I REJECT DANGANRONPA! "
Get in the swimsuit and go play boardgames

attention to all dashcon attendees
someone urinated into the ballpit while it was empty and posted it in the tag
stay out of the ballpit
there are people who think this is a joke
this is not a joke
please stay out of the ballpit for the safety of your health
Thanks to inflation the cost of eating out has gone way up.
"tumblr is not easy to use" girl hunderds of thousands of people figured it out. it's not rocket science
i do think it could be good to implement a tutorial. i can imagine it is a bit intimidating to join tumblr when all you're used to is tiktok, insta, twitter etc. eventually people figure it out on their own but a bit of support wouldn't hurt! just. don't change the entire platform to try and appease these confused newbies
Watching Dana Terrace call Bob Iger out on his shit is just so fucking satisfying.
