“not everything has to be gay” it does actually

cant stop thinking about this comment

i think one of my fave shark facts is this thing that some species of sharks do where they sorta peek their heads out of the water to see whats above the surface…..its called spyhopping and great white sharks do it all the time

This gave me so much serotonin for some reason.

They look like they forgot they can breathe underwater and think they’re drowning

@cayliana

are you telling me americans have stores that open up SPECIFICALLY for halloween and just. dont exist any other time of the year. you people are insane

Imagine an empty storefront. Some business that closed years ago. The building stands empty, unused for literal months. And then boom. Fall comes around and there’s a Spirit Halloween. There’s no escape.

what the fuck 😁

Yeah this is a thing

Are you serious

Yes and they are divine gifts of beauty and cheap plastic lawn decorations.

… I honestly assumed that the existence of Halloween stores was just a running joke in American TV shows.

No they’re very real

Can confirm this phenomenon also occurs in Canada

It’s fun

Oh, it’s a blast.

Wait, so during non-halloween they are just empty? Like, they don’t switch between seasonal decorations (like christmas, easter, etc), they just…close and wait for next year???

Yeah, it’s not a permanent store. A company will rent an empty building for the 2-3 months before halloween, sell halloween stuff, and then clean everything up and disappear until the following year. And they’ll usually set up in different buildings from year to year. They just find any good-sized empty store space that will give them a cheap, short-term lease.

It’s so temporary that the halloween stores don’t even have a real sign, they just hang up a banner outside:

So you’re telling me that every year for a month or two the Spirit of Halloween possesses a dead building then disappears?

that is exactly what we’re telling you

Took me years to understand the "why the long face" punchlines to "so a horse walks into a bar" jokes because I just thought that's a normal sized face to have if you're a horse. It never occurred to me judge a horse by the standards of man

I was a better person than all of you

glad that skyrim chose the most horrifying way ever to have mannequins

when i walked into a room after a loading area a mannequin turned its face to look at me and then it just froze in that postion

once i woke up in the house in raven rock and all the mannequins near the bed had stepped forwards and i never did sleep in there again

I'm glad op clarified that this was about skyrim because I kinda thought the screenshotted post was just making a hypothesis about real life

There is so much going on here, the fact she made a laptop mockup for her own cat, the fact that she put the “google images of birds” on it, the fact that the cat KNOWS it’s the cat’s “laptop,” the fact that the cat is UPSET WHEN HER LAPTOP IS MESSED WITH...

12/10 would watch again

So great lol

You TOUCH Miette’s LAPTOP?

It's really fucking weird seeing people reclaim "limp-wristed" and "fruity" while also screaming about how horrible and offensive the word "queer" is.

It's almost like "queer is a slur" was never about protecting people, and has always been about gatekeeping who "really belongs" by making our most all-inclusive term into a controversy.

[ID: tags that read "#since when do 'fruity' and 'limp wristed' have negative connotations #both of these things have emerged in like the last two or three years' End ID.]

I don't want to shit on you for being ignorant, because you don't know what you aren't taught. But holy shit, you are so wrong. These terms are older than you are, older than I am, and older than literally anyone reading this post.

"Fruity" dates back to at least the 19th century and even has its own Wikipedia page.

"Limp wristed" had origins that are even older, possibly even going back to the goddamn Roman Empire.

They are not new terms. They are not "internet slang." They are not cutesy little fun phrases bereft of baggage.

If people want to reclaim them, great! I do! I call myself fruity all the time! But holding them up as innocent internet memes is both incorrect and, in the case of people who oppose the term "queer," wildly hypocritical.

“Sex is what makes us human”. Really? Because monkeys have sex. Turtles have sex. Barnacles have sex.

Humans learn foreign languages just because they can. Humans bake cookies. Humans knit sweaters. Humans ask permission to pet other humans’ dogs. Humans argue over whether ghosts are real. Humans write stories they’re too embarrassed to show to anybody. Humans eat food so spicy it makes our noses run. Humans do google searches to find out what kind of bird is making that noise. Humans build pyramids, or travel thousands of miles to look at other humans’ pyramids.

“Sex is what makes us human”. Really?

Megamind Fandom

I hate to have to do this, I'm sure this will be overlooked. But, if you're active on the Megamind server or at least, follow a few of us on Twitter, then you are probably aware that there is a very dangerous individual known as "the real d*psy" online.

If you've been following along, since June 2022, she has posted nothing but lies, about her time on the Megamind server. She claims she was "platonically groomed" (yes, her words) by the members of the server. The accused members (one of whom is a MINOR) are survivors of grooming and sexual assault. She has caused emotional and psychological harm to our members, including (but NOT limited to) our Admin, Filthy.

After being banned from the server (after several warnings) she has evaded the ban, dodge the blocks on Twitter, and sent her accomplices to the server to "gather evidence of her abuse." However, when confronted about the evidence, she states has none, and even after sending people to our server under the disguise as new fandom members, They have not been able to find any evidence of the allegations. Every claim she has made is false and we know this because we have evidence that proves the contrary.

She is a victim of her own delusions.

Do yourself the favor and block her immediately. If you are an NSFW artist or have an NSFW account, block her and any of her followers. For someone who is loudly anti-nsfw, she goes out of her way to stalk nsfw art (that IS properly tagged as NSFW artwork) and will steal your work. (we have evidence of this AS WELL)

She is unwilling to curate her own online experience and therefore damns anyone who posts anything she deems "problematic." She does not block people who make her uncomfortable. She accuses people of stalking her when she, herself, engages in such behavior.

If you are an artist and EVEN an nsfw artist, She will also steal your artwork and make edits without crediting your work, (ONE of the reasons she was banned), She will harass you and will sexually harass you, (she did so with Filthy) call you slurs ("Retard" being her favorite), and will twist everything you say to her own needs. Even if it doesn't make sense. (if you read the screenshots, you will see what we mean.)

I WISH I was exaggerating. I really, really do. But all of this is well documented and is screenshotted all over Twitter.

For your own safety: DO NOT ENGAGE! Just block on sight.

Stay safe friends.

We desperately need to get stay at home moms into 3D modeling/3D printing. I say this every day and it never gets any less true.

We need to give these women the tools to do with 3D printers what they've accomplished with cutting machines. There are youtube videos out there with a woman who looks like she is personally your mom clearly using her own phone camera to record and saying "Ok we're going to learn how to make a suuuper easy and fun cricut project! I whipped up the design for this while the kids were at school :)" and then shows off some 3D paper masterpiece that would take me 3 years in an architectural college to have designed. We need this for the 3D printing world.

"Waah but then people might take the art less seriously and we'd see a bunch of people making a printing 3D knick knacks for etsy and it won't be an exclusive club anymore :(((" GOOD. I would LOVE for 3d printing to be relegated to the realm of "mom craft" the way laser/cnc cutting and engraving have. I would love for companies that know they can hike prices because it's seen as a "techie" thing to have to make their product more accessible for lower income people to stay competitive with the market. I would love to see a bunch of little cute 3d crap on etsy or at craft fairs. I see no downside to this. And if you see an art form as "less serious" or "less legitimate" because women are getting into it, then that's on you.

I love showing people a picture of my cat for the first time and they go "aww" and then I say "her name is Pigeon" and they go "aww her name is PIGEON" bc this knowledge has made her cuter
