i literally think of that "polynesians first to discover antarctica, not news to maori" headline so much it's so fucking funny

highly skilled ocean voyagers living close to antarctica who have oral history of heading south and discovering a land full of ice sheets and mountains of ice and snow were first to discover antarctica, not news to said group of people

Hi Neil! I just saw Dream of a Thousand Cats and there was a familiar voice in it. Did Patton give you tips on how to act with the Raven Suit for your Crow role? Was it all post production to make you look like one? Or did you finally dropped all pretense and climbed out of your human suite?

Reblog this if you’re polyamorous, searching for a cryptid, trying to communicate with demons, willing to throw a Molotov cocktail at a police car, really want more tattoos/piercings, or just really love nonbinary people.

No one will ever know which one 👀

Several ;)

Just thought this was really cool. It’s the inside of a hellebore flower after it goes to seed. The flower is full of five little bladders that fill up with air and that’s where the seeds form. They make this really beautiful vessel shape. Interestingly we can five 3 pentagrams. The petals, the pods and the negative space between them. Hellebore is just a really awesome plant!

What is this? What is this from? Why do thousands of people know what this is. Apparently it’s Romanian. What is it??

They’re the lyrics to the song Dragostea Din Tei by Moldovan pop group O-zone. It was a very popular song in the early 2000s

We’ve finally reached the point where the old memes are too old for today’s generation… Fs in the chat.

We must not despair as long as we are here, we can teach the children about the ancient texts

Listen, kinderlach.

If you want to know how widespread a meme this was, I was in college when it was a thing. I was taking a women’s choir, as required by my major.

MY ENTIRE CHOIR CONVINCED OUR PROFESSOR THIS WAS A “ROMANIAN FOLK SONG” AND WE PERFORMED IT. LIVE.

We literally did it as a joke. Because we knew most of our audience would be students from other classes who were required to attend for a grade.

I will forever treasure the looks on the faces, ranging from outrage to pure unabashed glee, that popped up when we hit that first “maya hii, maya hu …”

This was back when a meme could go on for weeks, if not months or even up to a year. (Caramelldansen was around even longer than that, but Caramelldansen is up there with the Rickroll as the spiders Georg of the meme world.) It was still considered “current” nine weeks after we talked the prof into doing it. EVERYONE KNEW IT. It was the perfect prank.

I kind of wonder how many of the people who attended still remember this.

I am stunned to see this whole thread and not see the original meme video that really introduced this song to US audiences (or at least to everyone I know who was aware of it):

The oldest YouTube upload I can find has 48.8 million views at this time and is dated 2006 is because that’s when someone uploaded this video to YouTube because YouTube is younger than this video. The description to that upload says that a Guardian article FROM 2006 estimated that this video had been seen 700 million times at THAT time. 

This video was passed around in emails and hosted on “homepages” and would take MINUTES to load. And it was worth every minute to see this young man, Gary Brolsma just fucking joyfully JAM OUT to this song (his upload of the video is embedded above to give him the views). 

But dang, young folks, it took WORK to make something go viral in the Days of the Old Magic. Not just on the part of content producers (no one was a content producer yet, though) but also on the part of people sharing it. It was a wild, untamed time. 

I’ve actually never even seen the official video before this thread. I love it. SO MUCH. I hope that John Ralphio knows how much whoever did the little animated segments is in love with him and I hope that the Tiny Twink knows how much whoever did the little animated segments hates him for existing so close to His Beloved John Ralphio. And also the other guy is there. 

It’s incredible. Thank you for sharing that and bringing this joy back into my life.

americans talking about this “meme” is wild bc over here we all know this from FUCKING EUROVISION

sorry no i literally wrote that sentence semi-conscious having LITERALLY just woken up and should have said “because of” instead of “from”

it’s from 2 years before moldova started competing so it wasn’t officially a eurovision song but also it is a VERY eurovision song and got to number 1 in like 12 countries and was generally huge pre-meme-times because it was like… an honourary eurovision banger

C O N S T A N T L Y

but nobody was annoyed about it bc it’s such a banger

i don’t think i even saw the meme that spread it to the US until years later europeans are just hardwired to know this song

OMG, it’s a time capsule from when I was 20. My college dorm hall used to take spontaneous study breaks to have dance parties to this song, I think people would yell “numa numa break!” down the hallway or something like that.

Residents view the first iceberg of the season as it passes the South Shore, near Ferryland Newfoundland, Canada by Jody Martin

it…did not occur to me that icebergs just…pass by people’s houses

i used to live in st. john’s, nl, and, in late spring to early summer, it was not uncommon for a giant iceberg to float slowly by just outside the harbor. they would mention it on the news and radio. they took hours or, sometimes, days to go by. and, when it happened, it would make the whole town colder.. like ice in a glass of water. and, sometimes,… they would groan. as they passed.

Examples of a Brocken Spectre, a phenomenon where a person’s giant shadow appears magnified onto clouds miles away. The shadow from the sun behind the person creates a halo, giving it an angelic appearance. This mostly occurs on any misty mountainsides or cloud banks, and can even be seen from aeroplanes.
