despite their duck-like bills and webbed feet, the duck-billed platypus (often known simply as the platypus) is not a bird, but a very unique mammal. this species, endemic to eastern australia, has a number of unique adaptations. they are one of only five species of mammal who lay eggs rather than give live birth. they forage for around 10-12 hours daily, primarily for small aquatic invertebrates like crayfish; they use electroreception to locate their prey. the species is also biofluorescent, turning bluish-green under UV light. male platypuses are also venomous; they have a spur on the back of their hind flippers that produces a venom that can be harmful to humans. females have a small spur, but are not venomous. these creatures are largely antisocial and as such produce few vocalizations, as they rarely communicate among their own species.

you know, i think those people who initially dismissed platypuses as a hoax had a point. like come on. what is this animal. it's like god just had a box of left over features from other animals that were left in the cutting room floor and all got smushed together into one creature. this is the most hoax animal to ever live. hell their bills look like they were glued onto an otter's face.

Anytime you see an NFT on twitter the moral thing to do is to comment how badly you want it on a shirt

If you can reblog for bigger sample

when it's cold you can always put on more layers. when it's hot you can only get so naked

also you can get a space heater that you can just plug in. A/C needs an expensive machine and a permanent installation

This inaccurate. Should be obsidian.

When water hits flowing lava it turns to cobblestone. Its only obsidian when it touches a source block, which clearly lava pouring out of a soda machine would not be. NEVER fuck with real Minecraft fans you fake gamer

I just remembered that you're literally fucking alive

do with that information what you will

it is so absolutely crazy that life *exists* and people exist and technology exists and we can all talk to eachother like this

make it the best you can. o pana pona (give good) :)

For your protection

Our system is broken.  It is cruel.  It is dehumanizing, degrading, and it’s vile nature is so, so unnecessary.

We need universal healthcare today in America.  We needed it 40 years ago.  It’s cheaper, it’s simpler, it’s more efficient, it’s more effective and it is so, so, so much less cruel than what we have.

Additional sources/references:

Universal Healthcare Cost in America would be cheaper by trillions of dollars

The US has worse life expectancies than socialized healthcare countries

We have worse generalized healthcare results

We have the most expensive care

Our system is so cruel and unique that doctors from other countries literally can’t believe what happens here

I can’t tell you where or how to activate to help solve this.  There are politicians, groups, and activists pushing for this in so many ways.  I can tell you when, though.

Now.

Hypertoroidal Time Travel Chess

So just in case you though my game nDimensional Time Travel Chess couldnt get any worse, I fixed the bug that was breaking hypertoroids. This specific hypertoroid is a radial extrusion of a regular torus along 4 dimensional space. We start with an offset circle like so

And we start extruding radially. What that means is we just push out the face a little bit rotating around the center each time. Now in real life these would be infinitely small, we we're working with computers and human time so we just choose small enough steps

Here's what we see a quarter of the way through

Here you can start to see the donut

And here's the finished product.

For step 1 at least. Now we move onto step two. We move the donut back into place of the original circle and repeat the process

Now for the next step things are a little confusing for our 3D human brains no matter what we do, but especially so if we connect the rings like we did last time. So unfortunately we just have to imagine that these are still connected through 4D space, but we'll only show slices where we have enough room to think about them as their own 3D slices

Just like we would be able to imagine traveling along the donut surface between its little rings (red arrow), a 4D creature would be able to easily imagine being able to travel along the donut's themselves (blue arrow) and those two directions are 90 degrees from one another, making them orthogonal and adding an extra-dimension to the surface

Here's how I typically label and refer to these axes

And finally, here's the finished product of step 2

Now if we repeat the process again

Haha just kidding lol. This is already a crazy enough chess board for me personally. Unless... c: But yeah, definitely one of the crazier boards I've made. Haven't played it yet, but if my torus board was any indicator, this one is possibly just, straight up unplayable ngl. Still, might be fun to try anyway

Him dig
