The immaculate vibes of clicking "no tip" on an electronic order button and then surreptitiously handing the server some cash

I never tip service workers

I give them tax-exempt personal cash gifts because they're my friends and I like giving my friends gifts :)

Leave a tiny digitial tip! my work place auto presumes digital payments without a tip mean automatically presumed cash tip of 15%. if you leave 1$ digitally then give 9$ cash it will be easier to discreetly pocket the 9$

Ooh, I like the way you think

Iris Van Herpen is a Dutch fashion designer known for fusing technology with traditional haute couture craftsmanship.

I found this on tiktok and I laughed so hard so I thought I’d share on here

It’s so chaotic I love it

just so you guys are all aware, the only reason gritty exists is allegedly because the NHL made a rule that every team HAD to have a mascot and were apparently assholes about it. so the fliers made him as a chaotic fuck you. hell the first tweet made on his official account was a “sleep with one eye open” threat towards another mascot for making fun of his design

“With a flick of his wrist, Aloth burned Thaos’ robe, headdress and every other symbol of the man’s power. Never again, he vowed, should kith live in fear and blind obedience to an authority they did not understand. Armed with the knowledge and courage he had gained on his journeys with the Watcher, he set out on the long and lonely task of dismantling the Leaden Key.”

Whenever Tux manages to slip into a forbidden room, he does the most obnoxious victory dance. XD

yeah so this video brought me to tears in like 8 seconds

[transcript: Hello! Today I will be: rating the fastenings of my armor for their homoerotic potential.

What the fuck am I talking about? Well, if you’ve ever imagined a scene where one character helps another character put on their suit of armor, and those two characters are in love and do wanna have sex, but can’t admit it, this is for you. Let’s go.

The bracer: near the hands, very gay, but fastening it basically means doing a handshake. Not sexy. Four out of ten. The thigh buckle: this one should be sexy, but because it’s on the inside of the thigh, it’s mostly just awkward to get to. Seven out of ten.

Gambeson buckles! It’s basically like having your mom do up your buttons for you. Utterly unsexy. One out of ten. Knee strap: this is what the thigh buckle wants to be, because in order to fix it, they have to be kneeling and they can make eye contact the entire time. The pauldron: so this one might not seem sexy at first, but if you think about it, if their hands are there and their face is there, this person can turn their head casually... and maybe even kiss? Ten out of ten. End transcript.]

the 17th century was called ‘the golden age of piracy’ and now that i’m reading about it it’s really not surprising that piracy appealed to so many people

like, you get to be gay, do crimes, and you have health insurance? well then, just call me jolly roger and pass the rum lads

I don’t like terms like “crunch” or “crunch crisis” or “crunch culture” because I feel like we’re giving a serious problem a cutesy-wootsy name to increase the misconception that low-level tech workers are somehow different from “““real”““ workers.

Like when I worked in manufacturing and the boss wanted us to pull twelve-hour days and seven-day weeks in order to make the assembly line spit out enough widgets to fill a last-minute order, we didn’t call it “crunch.”  We just called it “a bunch of fucking bullshit.”

It’s not “crunch” it’s labor abuse, which often goes hand in hand with other forms of abuse.

it's always a good day to complain about English speakers

Important addition: Maria Skłodowska-Curie was born during partitions, which means Poland didn’t exist, which means her insistence that she was Polish was a significant act of defiance against the occupation, which means that you should respect that instead of arguing that ‘well she had French citizenship’. She couldn’t have Polish citizenship despite being Polish, that’s kinda the point she was making by keeping her maiden name and naming a chemical element she discovered ‘Polonium’ .

HOW TO PRONOUNCE: Skłodowska

L with a dash through it (ł) makes a “W” sound. and W makes a “V” sound.

Thank you for the pronounciation guide instead of the condescending guilt trip

I have no idea what’s going on

Congrats, we have reached a period of time where there is a generation that does not remember the first memes.

Look, i’ve been on tumblr for nine fucking years and I don’t get this meme. I remember seeing it at some point, but have no clue what it means.

because this meme is pre tumblr and pre-youtube and is about 17 years old, almost twice as long as you’ve been on tumblr the ancient depths of albinoblacksheep will never die

I’m old and I know what this means. 😅

my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:

he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year

Chaotic good

Loving how as soon as electricity was like, a Thing, people just went "you can make toast with this" and started working on electric toasters but they didn't quite have the whole heating element thing down so there was a not insignificant chance of it just exploding

People have been making bread crunchy by heating it up for Ages but for some reason I thought electric toasters would be happening around the same time as like, refrigerators but no people went "easier crunchy bread?" as soon as the technology was available. Not even remotely safe but like, existent. It took Way longer to figure out how to make things cold with electricity

I specify electric toasters because before that they had these bad boys

You just put your slice of bread in there and hold it over your fireplace and bam it's toast time

Actually you didn't have to use those, if you find yourself wanting some toast in victorian england you could also stick your bread on one of these motherfuckers right here

These are the very creatively titled (/s) toasting forks and they look metal as hell for the purpose they serve

You might notice that the tips are bent upwards, which is actually not for inflicting more pain when tormenting the souls of the damned but rather because the bread goes on them like so

And the bend helps keep the bread from sliding off

I know this is the most niche interest shit in the world but just look at that. The victorian era had no reason to go as hard as it did but every day I am grateful for it
