Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting

First like and this has already found its intended audience

uh oh

reposting a favorite reddit moment of mine since god knows if ill ever see it again

Last night I had a dream I woke up to find that my house had been turned into a Smart House with every wall being a digital screen including the roof so I could see it even laying on bed and the Siri voice said “Don’t worry. You are perfectly safe in your Apple Smart Home™️” knowing I have a BIG phobia of intruders especially at night and it continued with “Let’s explore the neighborhood from the comfort of your home” so it opened google maps and accidentally zoomed past a shitty jpeg of the girl from The Ring standing outside my house and it said “ignore that”. woke up laughing

This is what it’s like living in Michigan

It’s a Monty Python skit.

Guy: *Singing* I’m doing some fishing…

Officer: *Emerges from the water with a grunt* You there, Sir!! I certainly hope you’ve got a fishing license!

Guy: *Panicking* Wha, no, I don’t!

Officer: Oh no?

Guy: *Screaming*

Officer: I’ll have you beheaded!!

the sound when he emerges from water sounds odly familiar to oblivion guard

Doctor: $140,000 a year

Furry artist on Patreon: $160,000 a year

i think you’re lowballing the furry art amount tbh

I’m sorry for the inaccuracies, Doctor Yiff

no matter how I respond to this I don’t look good, well played. i walked right into that

Well, furry artists are typically more competent and courteous than your average doctor, so I can see that.

Did you just legitimately tell me that a person who draws wolf ass is more competent than a dude who spent 8+ years in a university to give you your lung transplant?

doctors are bullshit and furry artists perform an infinitely more valuable service to society compared to them

You will die in 7 days

It took doctor’s like 10 years to diagnose what was wrong with me, some insisting I was faking for attention while a furry artist I knew just went “that sounds like crohn’s” after hearing me complain once and ended up being right

Also I can’t go to a doctor and ask them to draw Rouge the Bat wider than she is tall with tits to match, now can I

You could if you weren’t a fucking coward

[ID: a comic illustrating the above thread as if it was happening in a theater. The users are mostly shaped like their icons, pukicho is a pikachu and hokuto-ju-no-ken is a gengar. The last panel is gengar looks back where a speech bubble comes out of the crowd to say, “you could if you weren’t a fucking coward.” /end]

I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this post

Magic of tumblr,

I am morally obligated to add the YouTube video whenever this thread crosses my dash

I’ve seen this thread more than a few times. But this is the first time I’ve seen this video. So thank you for your service.

PLEASE UNMUTE THIS. PLEASE. 

You guys missed the best part

Y'all missed the best part: HER REACTION AFTER ALL THIS

hmmm

I love situational story telling

If there was so much discourse over continents I CAN'T WAIT for you to find out about the south-up map

This is what the earth looks like btw

Ok stop answering to this post with "up and down don't matter in space" cause north and south are not up and down and their orientation doesn't matter on earth either. This is legit what the earth looks like.

Well somebody has a superiority complex. Go to a shrink or something idk

Just in case you're feeling important, our planet also looks like this:

"there's a very good reason we humans tend to draw north up maps" yeah, colonialism and eurocentrism. anyway south up rules

mapposting time post your favorite projections mine is the pierce quincuncial!!!

My favorite map of Earth

Oh I feel like I should be able to fold up the pierce quincuncial into a sort of ball

did someone say fold up into a ball

Waterman is clearly the best except it needs the origami gold lines

@elodieunderglass You might appreciate Jarke van Wijk's "Unfolding the Earth: Myriahedral Projections" (site, pdf)

I really like these, thank you. Although my first comment was tongue-in-cheek, I like origami and seaming and folding. These are very satisfying.

None of these come close to the Spilhaus Projection:

Discworld: Wyrd Sisters Director: Jean Flynn | Studio: Cosgrove Hall | UK, 1997

It genuinely upsets me that there are people who call this animation and voice acting bad, there’s so much heart and soul on display in just this clip alone

At first glance: ‘lol this is going to be one of those hilariously cheap animations’

30 seconds in: ‘…Oh my god this is fantastic’

“WHO DARES TO INVOKE WXRTHLTL-JWLPKLZ?” “Where were you when the vowels were bein’ handed out, behind the door??”

you've been salmonsharked reblog to salmonshark someone else

i cant believe there are people who still havent seen this video

I could probably recite this entire video, word-for-word, on demand.

Goddamn, this is nearly thirty years old and it fits like a glove into contemporary shitpost cadence and aesthetics, this is High Art

IT BETTER NOT BOUNCE OR YOU’RE A DEAD MOTHERFUCKER

Coelacanth fish are considered to be living fossils, meaning they exist in pretty much exactly the same form as they did millions of years ago.

But if you went back in time and brought a coelacanth fish from 100 million years ago to the present day and introduced it to a modern coelacanth fish, they would not be able to breed, because even if the visible form of the animal has not changed, its DNA is nonetheless so different as to be incompatible.

Over millions of years, mutations accumulate in the genetic code, inevitably changing it. Thus it is impossible for a creature to stop evolving. This makes sense but it makes me really existential for some reason

Well , I mean likely can’t breed but but there is the rare possibilities:

Taxonomy and genetics agains says “eff your rules”

Well that sure is something!

So something interesting I learned during my brief stint as a geneticist is that things that "look" similar to extinct taxa on the outside often have undergone WAY more genetic changes than things that look visibly different

This is because the traits self correct. Genetic drift is always happening, and life is always changing. So, if a population experiences such strong selection that they need to stay the same, they need to correct that with just as many mutations as those that happen to make them drift away.

So, in many ways, "living fossil" could not be a more misleading term. We talk about coelacanths, sharks, crocodilians not evolving for millions of years, but in many ways... they're evolving more than the rest of us, just so they can stay the same.

And that's the coolest shit I've ever learned

Wow...to stand still you have to keep running, because the very code of your being is moving underneath you...

pardon my bio 101 reasoning, but why would they need a counter-mutation to stay the same? wouldn’t the original mutation just never catch on enough to spread through the population?

Is it like, variance of (relatively) short-term selection pressures vs a constant long-term one?

it is indeed! populations often drift in new directions and things do catch on, but ultimately do not lead to overall evolutionary success. There is also the added factor of population differences and immigration/emigration. There are just a lot of different facets at hand that allow for these things to spread in some populations, and then be correct for within it or by external ones. That kind of thing.

The mechanisms aren't particularly well known, but we do know it happens, because we have multiple groups of things that seem "unchanged" that have had demonstrably more genetic change than things that seem like they have changed more. Like how Palaeognaths have more genetic mutations than Neognaths from their ancestral point.

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

yall wont trick me into listening to kpop

You can try Radiooooo.com - The Musical Time Machine!!

choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!

you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).

I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)

This is the best website anyone has ever shared.
