Whatup TAD fandom, I bring a quizzy thing with which to torture yourself!

In previews it says it can't be found, but I and others have successfully opened it in browsers so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Have fun making yourself make choices. (Spoiler: it's so difficult omg.)

i think it's awesome that there's weed for cats and we just give it to them

But it sucks that there's weed for humans and in some places it's illegal.

Should definitely have been born a cat.

Daryl and Marlin, our ship cats! It's Marlin's second season sailing (though he's been with us three years- got locked at the seaport last season for crimes) and Daryl's first! What sweet babies 💖

The people have spoken: What Crimes Has Locked This Poor Soul Away

You are Marlin, ship's cat and mascot of the tallship Lady Washington. It is the summer of 2021, you are about a year old, and full of Mischief.

Lady is docked in the Port of Everett, and no one is paying attention to you- never mind the fact that they're doing their jobs and getting money so they can keep pampering you. No, they're not paying attention to you Right This Instant, so you decide you want to take a little jaunt off the ship and explore on your own.

In addition to the marina, the waterfront, and all manner of other delights, the Port of Everett also has a Naval base, so you decide to check it out! See what all the fuss is about.

Of course, wandering kitties without the proper credentials aren't allowed on high security Naval bases, so when the Marines inevitably capture you and ask you where your people are and what you're doing here and how you got here, you just curl up cutely and bat your eyes and meow the most pitiful meow because these new people are paying attention to you but not the Right attention, no one's even petting you!

They call the number on your collar, which goes to the captain of Lady at the time, who... is on leave. In Florida.

"Ma'am? Is this your cat?"

"Oh god yeah where was he?"

"A high security government facility. Can you come pick him up?"

"Considering I'm on the other side of the country, no. Let me get in contact with the crew to send someone."

"Thank you. Also he's very cute."

"I know."

So the captain does just that, playing telephone while trying to find someone to go pick you up. Except by the time a viable crewmember is chosen and calls back to confirm, you've gotten bored and decided you want to leave.

So you clawed the Marine holding you and escaped.

You get a smidgen more exploring time before you're captured again and taken to your crew and back to the boat, but at this point no one is happy including you, because no one pet you the Whole Time you were off adventuring and that's a damn travesty.

And not only that, when you get back to the ship, you're locked up tight in the aft cabin because no one trusts you anymore not to wander off and break into government facilities when they're not looking, and then when the boat gets back to her homeport in Aberdeen, they do you just the WORST injustice and lock you inside there! For the whole winter! And then the following summer, because you are now a Criminal and Criminals don't sail.

Except this season, you made Big Pouty Eyes at everyone, and they caved and let you back on, so you are a very happy kitty now.

With a tracker in your collar so this doesn't happen again.

I love Marlin so much

My Star Trek friends, reblog with your favourite most ‘out of context’ Star Trek image

I’ll start:

Oh my time has COME >:D

Excellent post everyone

Literally crying with laughter oh my god. Also please check in the notes because there are too many good threads and I can't reblog all of them.

Star Trek IS DEAD FINCH IS DEAD FINCH FINCH FINCH IS DEAD FINCH IS DEAD

(I recently read “All the Bright Places” and autocorrect remembers my reaction😂😂)

Star Trek is a good time.

Star Trek is a good thing to me and I will be there in a few minutes.

Star Trek is the one that has the best of all these gays and lesbians and she doesn’t know why it works but it does cause her to think about gay shit a lot more than the average bear.

Star Trek is about using your privilege to punch people and own a car.

Star Trek is een autosleutel

Star Trek is the best show on earth right there and it's the most amazing show I've seen on this list in years no one else is watching and it's just a shame because it's the best one and I love the way you are so amazing I can't believe how many times I watched the first episode and it just feels so much more real.

... autocorrect is a fan.

“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone 

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

Pretty much.

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

[Bridge illustration by Tobias Weinmann via here]

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun (to be clear the monkey is Solo)

This is the analysis I am here for

Fuck I knew the Falcon was dwarfed by the Enterprise, but I didn't realise even Serenity is bigger 😱

Also gotta be real with you, I absolutely did not realise that the bridge is *just* that lil nipple on top of the saucer, whenever I see something new about the size of the Enterprise, I'm always rescaling it *up* in my head. (In fairness, my special awareness is shit, this is not surprising, but I'm nevertheless constantly surprised by just how far out my estimates are.)

Does anyone have comparisons at the same scale for Voyager and/or DS9? Ooh and/or Defiant?

But I do think this is part of the joy of Trek, it's just a bunch of space nerds floating around in a ship that could destroy you in seconds and I think that's beautiful 😘👌🏼

ruh roh, it gets worse

I’m not a Redditor so I could be wrong. But this looks pretty fucking bad

IDs:

a screenshot captioned REDDIT ADMINS ARE FORCIBLY REOPENING SUBS AND REPLACING THE MODS, showing three nested reddit posts:

__vectorcall: r/adviceanimals and r/tumblr have been forced public by reddit jesperbj: How? Sparxx_Interface: Reddit Admins removed the Moderator(s), replaced them with other Moderator(s), and reopened the sub(s).

a reddit post by anonamouth on r/OutOfTheLoop: What's up with admins taking over a major subreddit (r/AdviceAnimals), reopening it, and banning any mention of it?

the content has been removed, and a message notes "Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/OutOfTheLoop."

the next screenshot appears to be of 5 deleted reddit posts in a row.

OOF oh this is gonna go down like a lead potato Reddit really burning bridges

When I was a small child I asked my mom why there was a rubber strip on the bottom of the door into the garage.

She said “It keeps the giraffes out.”

Now I was pretty sure there were no wild giraffes in Connecticut and it didn’t make sense that an animal as tall as a giraffe could fit under a door, but for some reason I just accepted it.

Years later it hit me that she said “drafts.”

This may be my favourite thing I've read in months 🤣
