how to solve a rubik’s cube a gay valentine’s/anniversary comic about trying to impress a boy (my now boyfriend) [rbs&follows>likes]
Okay but honestly with the death of forums and blogs and Yahoo Answers. And the rise of discord. Reddit is the last refuge to get any kind of information about anything whatsoever.
peeling those sour rainbow gummy strips into long thin strings and putting them into cheap energy drink to create something im calling battery acid spaghetti will update once ive finished it
dont do this
I really hope its not too bad bc i actually love both components.
it forms a dry skin at the top made of the sour pellets. not a great start.
tastes really good actually. i also feel like i am about to explode.
do not do this.
Unanimous consensus: Do not do this
Other people: Hold on I’m about to do this
being on Tumblr is like playing a violin in a concert hall for thousands of people and a few of them clap, then honking a kazoo to amuse your 2 friends AND SUDDENLY YOU HAVE 20K NOTES
don't even think about it
reminder that even if the world health organization says covid is over, it isnt.
Turns out it was just a bunch of news organizations completely misrepresenting what the WHO said. COVID isn't over. They're shifting from "world health emergency" to long term strategies because major countries failed to even contain it because they were so adamant to send everybody back to work as fast as possible. WHO's announcement that COVID is no longer a global health emergency isnt something to celebrate. It shows that everyone (governments and anti-maskers/vaxxers, mostly) collectively failed to care enough.
of course. news organizations took this and rolled with it, misleading everyone into believing COVID is no longer anything to worry about. exactly what they said Not To Fucking Do
To be clear, this means Covid is now ENDEMIC. Which means it’s part of the permanent illness ecosystem.
So wash your hands, wear a mask if you’re ill and can’t stay home (but try to stay home that’s for the best), and keep on top of your Covid boosters. It’s also not a bad idea to carry wet wipes for high-touch areas, because people are fucking gross.
op turned off reblogs but i want this post on my blog

I don't like that the in-universe name of the Avatar World is "Earth" because that's one of the four elements and the whole point is that the world is made up of all four elements in harmony.
They should've called it the Globe.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the avatar world on the back of a giant lion turtle spirit?
I could definitely be wrong tho
No. There're forests/cities on the back of lion turtles (unclear if they're spirits or not) but the world itself is a planet.
I refuse to acknowledge Korra as canon with ATLA because it is not canon compliant with ATLA in so many different ways. (Don’t even get me started about the good/evil binary spirits and the complete disrespect for the eastern cultures it was borrowing from UGH)
Korra is its own canon, ATLA is its own canon.
I say this because the first time the word “earth” was used to describe their world was in ATLA.
Their world is canonically a globe in Korra because we SAW it in one of the finales with the spirit explosions and stuff. I don’t like it, but it is what it is.
In the last airbender, their world is not a globe, it is on a dome, on the back of a giant turtle. This is an important aspect of more than one eastern culture and it was canon for the show and I very much respect western show runners and writers taking that stance. They showed a lot of respect for the eastern cultures they borrowed from to create the show.
Moving on.
I’ve had this conversation many times before because it is PLOT RELEVANT that the world is a DOME
So if this world was a globe, the fire nation would be an ocean away from the earth nation in two different directions. For the invasion and all that, they go through the serpent’s pass a whole bunch of things. Basically all of their plans center on only being able to approach the fire nation from one direction. If they could go LEFT from the earth nation, across the ocean and around the other side, then it would have made a lot of things easier. But they DIDN’T.
If the fire lord was again, only an ocean away from the earth nation, them he could have sent airships out in both directions to attack. But he didn’t, all his airships went left to go towards the earth nation.
I theorize that if you were to sail out away from the map, you would just find more ocean and eventually bump into some spirit shit (as shown with aang and his experience with the lion turtle)
Also, Sozin’s comet and the eclipse. On the real world, a globe, an eclipse does not affect the entire world at once, it can’t, physically. In ATLA, it DOES. The eclipse affects the entire world ALL AT ONCE. Also the trajectory of the comet is such that it stays the same height relative to the horizon regardless of where they travel. Not how real world comets work. If it was theoretically a proper astral body, then as they move around the world, the comet would appear to be higher or lower in the sky.
ATLA is not a world where real world physics and biology and stuff applies. And it’s beautiful for it.
I like this.
I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023
I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

What if there was an apocalypse but some people were really really in denial and optimistic and thinking everything will be back to normal soon?
Like they’d be foraging through the ruins of New York for supplies, shooting raiders in the face and saying “Man, this recession is really bad, huh?”
Umm….
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
this post, plus that satire one about the increasingly ridiculous callout culture that slowly became more and more accurate
this one
was anything going on in 2017??? did everyone randomly have prophetic visions????????
Another one from 2017 by @nullsynth
the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
turns out we had the 2020 vision after all
“the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls” is actually a really fucking metal quote and i will be using it in the future
@handoverthehands it’s from Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. Referenced as well in Spirit of the Radio by Rush and again in Disturbed’s cover of the original.
And that in itself was a reference to the Book of Daniel from the bible, when the words of the prophet were written on the Babylonian palace walls.
In the real world, it’s not the kings and people in power who see the signs of doom, but the poor people in the subway, helpless to stop it.
what happened on this post
Nothing. This is normal for tumblr
Okay, but prophetic curse aside, I still think my original post is pretty funny.
This is that rare Far Side ripoff that actually nails it.
your friend brett in 2003: “hey guys! ready for a deathmatch round in blood gulch?”
you and your two other friends who found a glowing crystal in the back of your house that gave you a prophetic glimpse into the future where the three of you live successful lives but only if brett dies following a series of finely-connected events that begin with him winning a round of deathmatch on blood gulch: “yeah brett you’re on”
That’s actually a brilliant idea, even from a strict effectiveness standpoint.
Pity they got shut down.
Some examples:
Just goes to show how much data facebook/insta collect about you that gets sent to advertisers. Also facebook responded by effectively saying ‘yes we collect the data but we dont allow advertisers to say that they’re using this data’ after trying to accuse Signal of pulling a ‘PR stunt’. Facebook is so scummy.

the rudest most helpful thing anyone ever said to me is "why do you keep hurting your own feelings long after [the person who once hurt you] probably forgot about it" like literally just dear god you've split me open so neatly my entire soul is just flopping around on the ground between us now but thank you
Just fyi if you're autistic/adhd and struggle specifically with this sort of thing, please know what what might be happening is something called perseveration, which is a common neurodivergent behavior that can include, among other things, revisiting emotions repeatedly and being unable to break loose from processing or managing stressful events.
Don't keep hurting your own feelings. But don't feel bad if you get stuck there, either. Something else could be going on.
