Nevertheless, She Persisted

I mean Jesus fucking Christ this is not right

My friend told me the best example to explain the vast difference between a million and a billion

"A million seconds ago was last week. A billion seconds ago we were still dealing with the Soviet union."

This is why when we talk about “rich people” who aren’t paying taxes or who are wasting money, we’re not talking about the person who makes 1 or 2 grains of rice worth of money a year. We’re talking about the person who makes the giant fucking Costco sized pile of rice.

​no lie I had to get up to shake my ass this is potent

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.

ive been collecting these recently and wanted to add some of my favorites

the original got deleted but i finally managed to find a screenshot of the tweet that’s been living in my mind since july of last year

cure of ra

Now its blessing of Ra

"Sunburn will give you skin cancer"

Ra, God of the Sun

Fungus has done so much for humanity. Penicillin. Radiation cleanup. Delicious mushrooms. Deadly mushrooms. Psychadelic mushrooms. And now my boy RA has chosen the humble mold spores as his vessel through which to cure cancer.

Oh look, it’s entirely possible for a cisgender comedian to crack jokes about transgender people without being transphobic.

reasonable people: the drop in fertility rates is at least partially due to the economic circumstances we are living in. perhaps more people under 30 WOULD be interested in having children if there were resources like universal healthcare and universal childcare, making it more financially feasible to start a family at-

unreasonable people: no. wrong. we need to ban abortion and also bring back teen pregnancy in a big way.

I’m every one in this

MAN 1 (in a high pitched, whiny voice) Look what you’ve done to my peonies!

WOMAN (angrily) They’re marigolds!

MAN 2 God! I think she’s right! They are marigolds!

MAN 1 I may not know my flowers, but I know a (yells in her direction) bitch when I see one!

It’s back!

I looked this up because I had to know what it’s from. It’s a film called The Gay Deceivers (1969), and it’s about two straight men who, seeking to avoid the draft, claim to be gay, but then have to keep up the pretense when the army places them under surveillance.

The man in the red cardigan in the clip was played by Michael Greer, who was openly gay himself - unusual for the time. He actually worked closely with the director and rewrote much of the film’s dialogue to reduce the homophobia and make it more realistic. As a result it’s quite progressive for its time, having a gay character, played by a gay man, living in a happy same-sex relationship, which is more than a lot of media offers us today.

Plus the clip is delightful.

I just needed this again.

Still not over the fact that the Empire was headed by seasoned military leaders—you know, guys upwards of fifty with decades of experience serving in the Galactic Republic—and yet Snoke’s First Order dream team consisted of the three most unstable and self-interested millennials he could find
