I Am Memory Issues Man

410,757,864,530 FORGOTTEN PRECIOUS MEMORIES

heartbreaking:

girl has sooooooo many ambitions and ideas for projects but can only get 1.5 basic tasks done per day

All I want to do is create things. Yes I love teaching little lessons to make my students brains hurt as their minds expand. Yes I want to spend time making little worlds and exciting encounters in my dnd campaign. I want to song bad songs out of key with my kid. I want to do jigsaw puzzles with my wife. Why is this so hard? Why must everything be so much? Why is working to exhaustion normal?

I generally suspect everyone who follows me might know but I better check:

OH NO 😭😭😭 more than 0 people didn't know 😢😱

Barnacle is a crustacean bug shrimp guy & gal (has ovaries and also longest proportionate penis in whole animal kingdom) living on their back inside themself

Filter feeders just like mussels and sponges and corals but these are Arthropods called cirripedes (hair legs) because their legs are hairy for catching the plankton. Living in soup and eating the soup with their feet forever

I actually did think the right answer would be like a 90% lead or more, poor barnacles 😢

These are the life cycle stages!!

Also very important:

They are NOT PARASITES!

Parasitic barnacles exist, but you'd generally never recognize most of them as barnacles. The barnacles that grow on whales and turtles and crabs are just chilling there, eating plankton, causing no damage or drawing any energy from their ride. It also ALWAYS DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD FOR A HUMAN TO SCRAPE THEM OFF! DONT DO IT!! 😢

If a sea turtle feels bothered by barnacle overgrowth it actually just migrates to colder or warmer waters and the shift will kill the barnacles. Crabs and lobsters discard them with regular molting, and whales don't notice them at all. Other animals like fish and squid are too soft, move too constantly or have slime coats that barnacles find inhospitable.

Barnacles have been encrusting everything in the ocean for millions of years, the things living there with them inherently evolved around handling it just fine!

If you're amazed to learn they're arthropods I hope you've also taken a moment to appreciate that these are related animals:

In fact, we now know that insects are a direct offshoot rather than mere cousins of crustaceans, much like the revelation that birds are literally dinosaurs.

my favorite r/researchchemicals post was one where OP was like "oh my god guys do NOT do etizolam, i just regained consciousness after a full WEEK and have been told i was going to my job the entire time like everything was normal" and then someone asked what his job was and he said he operates an industrial crane at a shipping dock

he makes me so happy and so profoundly sad at the same time

like this?

People ask the question “how could so many people have acquiesced or been complicit in the Nazi genocides?” and then spread atrocity propaganda about the Palestinians by a government whose leaders are calling the people of Gaza and West Bank animals, comparing them to vermin in need of extermination, demanding impossible mass relocations and massacring civilians as they flee, conflating militant organizations with whole civilian populations, and explicitly agitating settlers for an escalated ethnic cleaning campaign.

You’re acquiescing and are complicit right now. You would’ve made an excellent Nazi party member during the height of the extermination campaigns.

He made it!

what made u guys pick ur url's !

Tell me an inside joke between you and a friend, without context.

I beg of everyone to read the tags to this post, as they are all random and hilarious and read kind of like a poem, if the poem was written by someone who was on a lot of drugs.

Oh my god. I need to share another story of my new friend making today. So my friends husband says, very casually, as we’re about to leave for the ren faire, “Yeah, it’s like my story about fucking a chicken.”

And of the four people present I was the only one who was shocked. The others all nodded as if to say, yes yes, we know, the chicken fucking.

So he explained, when a progressive person is analyzing a behavior they will typically use the metric, Harm/No Harm. They may not like things in the No Harm category but they wouldn’t object.

Conversely, a more conservative mindset used something like eight metrics. Authority/No Authority Moral/Not Moral, things like that.

So, he posited if you want to sound out someone’s mindset (and you’re willing to live with the repercussions) you can ask: if a man buys a dead chicken from the store, cleans it thoroughly, then fucks it, and then eats it himself…?

I listened in dawning horror, both rapt and disgusted. But into the growing pause I whispered, “No harm…” because it really has no effect on me or anyone else if a man fucks a dead chicken. I don’t like it, I think he’s a weird dude, but like. That’s his dick. But a more conservative person will hear that and object on moral grounds despite not being harmed.

It’s been haunting me all day, so please enjoy.

This is also a handy probability scale for who's gonna be wearing your skin in a week.

I know you’re joking but this joke is absolutely the point. You’ve assigned a moral judgement to the act, rather than acknowledging it as not harmful.

In the current climate sex has so many moral judgements applied, and I can tell you that perfectly bland every day people do some Crazy Sex Stuff. When I worked at a sex shop they’d tell me all about it. It didn’t preclude them to murder or being serial killers. If someone wants to fuck a warm cantaloupe or a dead chicken it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t harm me or anyone else.

Your morals should not be applied to anyone else’s sex life unless there’s actual harm, and a time where public indecency laws are rearing their heads again creeping toward the immoral queers, it’s something to actively push against.

tumblr is full of phrases that we are all so desensitized to that they're just normal, but if you say it to a person in real life its so funny to them its a one-hit insta kill

This is about when I said "Everything I know about [coworker] I have learned against my will" and everyone thought it was so fucking hilarious

other things i've unwittingly said that made everyone around me lose it include
