My blog was terminated but now I'm BACK!!!

Feeling bored in quarantine? Here’s some Time-Wasting Websites

  • Create intensely visually satisfying sand art
  • Own white noise/calming sound creator.
  • Interactive music visualization tool.
  • Turn your keyboard into a piano and make music! Also able to collaborate with others.
  • Make your own music with pleasant sounding bells.
  • More music makers.
  • Different live-streams, mostly of animals!
  • TETRIS!
  • Fun “follow the mouse” visual with pretty mini lights that move with your clicks and mouse movements.
  • Break a screen into more and more boxes of different color gradients. WARNING! Bright!
  • Another site where you can create slow-moving art just through your mouse alone.
  • Create your own A Capella group/song.
  • 20 questions with a computer. But the computer is REALLY smart.
  • Sometimes you just gotta pop some bubble wrap.
  • You can draw basic objects and the computer guesses what they are.
  • Super random, useless websites, but it’s a good time waster.
  • Oddly Satisfying subreddit, which provides pictures that make you feel like at least some things are right in the world.
  • Bored button, press it and be bored no more.

I'm very fond of this video

[VD: The video begins with a woman walking up a suburban street. She has tan skin, freckles, long straight strawberry blonde hair, lots of eye makeup, a low-cut sleeveless black top, a short black skirt and black thigh-high high-heeled boots.

The person filming says to themself “why does she think that’s okay to wear?” and then says to the woman in a mocking tone “going to the strip club?”

The woman approaches the camera and says to the person filming “you have a nice house. Do you have a husband?”

The person filming replies “yes.”

The woman says “what’s his name?”

The person filming replies “Harold.”

The woman says “okay” and starts to walk away from the camera towards a large house. The person filming says “where are you going?”

The woman, in a sing-song voice, shouts towards the house “oh, Harold! Do you want a wife that’s not a raging cunt?” The last two words are growled out. End VD.]

have realized that while i am not a fan necessarily of "people meet and immediately fall in love" i am a fan of "people meet and are immediately obsessed with each other." the love can come later but the absolute fixation should be immediate

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

This is humanity

Dogs love to just stand there breathing. Like it's a whole task for them. A calling, even. Four feet planted, head straight forward, mouth open, heaving big hot damp breaths like it's their job. I don't think I've ever felt the deep and abiding knowledge that I was doing exactly what god made me for as much as dogs clearly must when they're standing there, just...... emitting.

People with nerve damage in their hands don’t get wrinkly fingers when they’re soaked in water. 

This discovery helped scientists learn how water causes skin wrinkles, which occur due to an involuntary nervous system reaction, but they still have no idea why it happens.
