in an interesting case of linguistic convergent evolution, the english words scale, scale, and scale are all false cognates of each other

scale as in „to climb“ comes from the latin scala, for ladder.

scale as in the measuring device comes from the old norse skal, for a drinking vessel sometimes used as a weighing device

scale as in the dermal plating on the skin of some fish and reptiles comes from the old french escale, for shell or husk.

Garrett made homemade bread in our little bread machine! Consistency is still a little bit off but this is actually the second time trying it out! The first time didn't get recorded since it was a fail. 😭 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpMAwU5r_ICn6uC_ybGDWEg3iLDnwqu_VRBMwg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hot tip: if you're in the wedding party, DO NOT tell the bride 25 HOURS before the wedding that you're bringing a plus one!!!!!!!!! There's a reason there's an RSVP prior to the wedding!!!!!!!!!! Also DO NOT ask the bride 2 days before the wedding what the rehearsal/dinner and wedding details are. Especially when the details were posted a few weeks prior before AND TEXTED multiple times!!!!!

the human stress response seems so maladaptive!

To be fair 99% of our evolutionary stress response was meant to deal with far more immediately conclusive scenarios than the tedious bullshit we put up with these days.

not to leave a serious comment on a silly post but one of the best pieces of advice I ever got about stress was to SLEEP but secondly, when overwhelmed, lay in a bed and intentionally hold all your muscles clenched. clench EVERYTHING. hold it for a few seconds, then let go. It tricks your animal fight-or-flight monkey brain into thinking it had, and won, a fight, and some of the stress response will leave you

sandy cheeks would’ve voted trump that evil southern rat ass bitch

Sandy Cheeks is a pro-science feminist who lives in a foreign land that she respects the customs of and she would be offended you would even accuse her of this.

Mr Krabs absolutely would’ve voted trump.

Mr. Krabs would not have voted for Trump because Mr. Krabs earned most of his money through hard work (and being a cheapskate and get rich quick schemes but those still require some effort on his part) whereas Trump inherited most of his wealth and thinks a million dollars is a small loan, Mr. Krabs would consider him an insult to richness for which he could not stand.

Plankton would’ve voted Trump.

You think he needs competition taking over the world? Face it folks. No one on Spongebob would vote for Trump. None of them. Face it.
