The greatest scene in anime history.
(From Pop Team Epic, episode 7)
The fucking moment I learned about objection.lol I had to make this iconic discord chat into a court argument
This is one of those “I scrolled down hoping for an explanation” things
Dude went to a Magic: The Gathering tournament and saw a whole lot of ass hanging out and decided to have fun with it.
This dude is also banned from said tournament because this photoset got so popular and it was considered insulting to the players…….
A true martyr.
The look in his eyes is majestic.
I feel like he’s a tour guide in a meninist museum who hates his job
he got banned for this too.
he was just telling the truth. conspiracy!
Your sacrifice for rustling my jimmies are dearly noted brother. May the base God bless you for eternity.
Our hero returns.
He’s like a monk. A butt crack monk.
Oh my god, I've just seen this story on instagram about this guy that filled his bathtub with waterbead...except he didn't think about how he was going to empty it.
So he unplugged the bathtub which was apparently the worst idea he could possibly have because this happened
So he panicked and started asking people on the internet what he should do. Which was also a bad idea.
First suggestion: flush the toilet
This caused a smelly overflow that flooded the whole bathroom.
Second suggestion: vaccum the beads
His vaccum caught fire.
At this point it had actually spread to the neighborhood and people came to ask question but he denied knowing anything about it. He then discovered that it's invaded the whole sewer system.
And yet, he continued to take suggestion from the internet.
Third suggestion: put salt in
It actually worked. Well, until.
Poop apprently started flooding his house.
And then the streets.
It all happened yesterday so we're still waiting on an update on the situation but I hadn't laugh like this in a while.
You should go and watch the whole story (it's in 4 parts)
It's in french, but you get it even if you don't speak it and his screams of panic are hilarious
Word of warning: don't fill your bathtub with waterbeads. Just don't.
Update on the situation. The waterbeads have totally blocked the sewer system. He received a letter from town hall telling people to report nuisances to the cops that are searching for the culprit.
He's in so much trouble that I'm starting to feel guilty for finding this funny...but still kinda laughing about it.
Just
Just get something to scoop them out of the tub
Put them in a trash bag, IN A TRASH CAN
That's all you had to do to get them out of the tub
Why would you pull the drain????

I don’t know what else I can say except that this is really important and please donate if you can!! (and if you can’t, reblog!!)
Wait. What’s going on?
Basically: a guy in Russia named Andrew Duskin is trying to copyright the entire Foundation over a small artbook featuring SCP-inspired art. The copyright has taken effect in Russia and now the Russian branch of the Foundation is shut down, and it has the potential to shut down the rest of the wiki.
Obviously, we’re REALLY mad because this one guy is trying to claim the work of thousands as his own, and the copyright will severely affect everyone involved in the Foundation, ESPECIALLY those who make their living off of it.
This copyright came up before in the past- and was briefly forgotten for some reason- and now the administrators are working to sue Andrew Duskin (as you can see here), but the process of suing someone is very expensive.
The main issue we all have with this is him trying to copyright everything. Like I said, it’s the work of thousands of people, and by putting a copyright on the Foundation, the whole thing might come to a halt and shut down because of copyright laws.
Which is, again, why he is (rightfully) getting sued.
So, if we want the Foundation to continue being the Foundation, we gotta help out if we can.
gods, every time i see that Baiken one, i think, “…is she being controlled by her sentient, independent breasts?”
think you forgot someone
There’s a song that’s been proven to reduce anxiety by 65%. It’s called Weightless by Macaroni Union, and it was specifically designed to slow your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and lower cortisol levels. It’s so effective that it’s dangerous to drive while listening to it because it can make you drowsy. Source Source 2 Source 3
YO O_O
I knew within seconds that I’d heard this before.
Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay. Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm. Dr David Lewis, one of the UK’s leading stress specialists said: “‘Weightless’ induced the greatest relaxation – higher than any of the other music tested. Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.” The study - commissioned by bubble bath and shower gel firm Radox Spa - found the song was even more relaxing than a massage, walk or cup of tea. So relaxing is the tune, apparently, that people are being Rex advised against listening to it while driving. The top 10 most relaxing tunes were: 1. Marconi Union - Weightless 2. Airstream - Electra 3. DJ Shah - Mellomaniac (Chill Out Mix) 4. Enya - Watermark 5. Coldplay - Strawberry Swing 6. Barcelona - Please Don’t Go 7. All Saints - Pure Shores 8. AdelevSomeone Like You 9. Mozart - Canzonetta Sull’aria 10. Cafe Del Mar - We Can Fly
One of the comments suggests pairing it with Rainymood.
The combined calm might be weaponized with adding this song and some crackling fire.
When I was literally unable to sleep at all, my senior at work gave me this song to listen to!
My wife uses this song when she’s having near-meltdown levels of anxiety right before bed and it helps her relax and shed some of that stress enough for her to attempt to lie down and sleep.
@yang-belladonna figured this might help, somehow.
Can also recommend “Purrfect” by Funky Porcini for this.
I’ve also found it helps with my migraines!
